    Cause you know I like to disagree with you...lmao. No really while VW has shown each year to get better and better I just am not sure he is starter material, I feel the same way about Matakevich and you know how much of a man crush I had on him last year.......

    I don't understand why you're 100% sold on him.... I could be wrong, but he hasn't shown enough to be full proof.... what game films are you watching?

    He's done well every time he's played. Good lateral movements, reads plays well, has a nose for the ball.

    I posted a link in this thread I think, with some clips of why I feel he's a good player.

    Read about zach brown and check his stats last year... he's better... besides, with shaziers injuries it would be a good thing to have 3 nice mlbs

    He left Radiers without a contract, so we'll see if he gets an invite.

    One thing Brown offers beyond what VW offers is pure speed. He ran a 4.50 at 240+ lbs at his combine a few years back. I haven't watched enough of him recently to definitively say that he'd be an upgrade overall, but he may be. What would give me pause is just how bad the Bills were vs. the run in 2016. How much of a role did he play in that? Is that why he isn't finding work quickly? His physical attributes and stats as a starter don't seem to match the market's interest in him.

    I did not watch enough if any of the Bills or Brown so I can't comment on that but I posted stuff earlier from a Bills writer and he had lots of good to say about him. With the Bills being so bad you would think if a player was bad they would have good things to say, so that tells me a little.

    The coaches saw him in camp right... We played them once. We hired Hunter.. How do the coaches not see Zach Brown?

    If you could take Brown's athletics, and VW's work ethic and head for the game... and combine in to one player... you'd have a 2nd Ryan Shazier.

    Brown's still a free agent, because he's football stupid... and doesn't have a great work ethic.

    Brown is not a good fit for a defense that relies on "do your job". He's too much of a free lancer...

    Guess I am lost on what your trying to say, I was responding to SE's question on to what role Brown played in the Bills D last year. I did not watch enough Bills to form my opinion, I am going by what the beat writer posted, which were all good things.
