I don't know enough about him to have thoughts. Not sure how often he saw the field. If those are stats from his starts ONLY he might be decent rotation depth at end.

 

Don't know much about him but he is St. Thomas alum so I like him already. We need all the pass rush help we can get.

 

You can have him

 

That was disappointing because I saw defensive end and was expecting Mark Anderson.

 

Never heard of him so he must be a real high energy, high impact type of guy.

 

Here's the PFF cliff notes version:
- He had solid ratings vs the run and the pass and average in 59 coverage attempts.
- PFF has him for 4 sacks, 5 QB hits, and 9 pressures in 153 snaps as a pass rusher. That breaks down to getting to the QB in some form 1 out of every 8.5 snaps. Thats a better rate then any front 7 player on the Jets or Dolphins aside from Aaron Maybin and Cam Wake. By comparison Westerman was at the Qb at about the same rate that Julius Peppers was at the QB. And before anyone hits the button the hype machine, by no means does this mean he will Julius Peppers good. Just means he has maybe more potential then previously thought.

 

niceeee..thank you

 

I see him as a situational guy and Special Teamer. He more so gives guys breathers on second down before the crucial third down conversion attempt.

 

Well, it sounds like he is a decent situational guy. If that is the case I'll take it.

 

I agree. I still want to see this supplemented with Mark Anderson or maybe Whitney Mercilus, Nick Perry, Jared Crick, Chandler Jones or Andre Branch in round 2 or 3 depending which player you are talking about. Id take Mercilus at any point though just cause Whitney the Mercilus/Merciless is an awesome nickname. :lol:

 

Thanks, Boik.
In other words,he's a baller and will bring it on every play.
This will be his chance to show his skill-set. Good addition...

 

A better signing than Garrard? You jest.

 

Cheap depth.

 

Talking to my boy who's a die hard pats fan, doesn't seem like a real impact player. Said he was only good on like 3rd and 20 lol

 

Your discontent has what exactly to do with the topic at hand? Does signing Jamaal Westerman preclude some sort of other, more valuable move in your opinion?

 

This is the most incompetent front office I have ever seen. Give up all hope now.

:p

I don't really think this is worthy of a thread type news, but it seems like he's decent depth. I just hope he knows his special teams since he'll hopefully be in a reserve role.

 

Yeah it's kind of a roster filler move but hopefully he turns out to be a nice part of our rotation. I can't wait for the draft.

 

i agree on both counts

 

Bills sign Mark Anderson

 

I am surprised by how much Mark Anderson was signed for. I thought he would be cheaper.

 

Bills are able to outbid anyone for anyone this year. Not that surprised.

If they want someone bad enough they will put them out of everyone elses price range.

 

Only reason Bills are signing anyone is because of the salary floor.

Not to mention for Wanny's defense to work he needs 2 high pressure DE's and at least 1 good DT and a solid DT. Otherwise it falls apart.
