Does anyone remember when the Bills let London Fletcher walk because he was over 30? It would be great if we could sign Carlos, and get even half the mileage that the Skins have gotten out of Fletcher.Go Bills! Ink him.
I live in Va now and my son and I went to a Redskins game in DC and we were delighted to be sitting next to another Bills fan, who had a blue Mohawk and had his head and face painted up. I had my Lynch jersey and my son was wearing his Whitner jersey. We got harrassed a little at the end of the game when the Bills came back and won in OT. Loved it.
I live down in Virginia, and there is a lot of chatter that the Redskins really want Newton bad. I can see Buddy trying to set up a trade down situation. I would love to see him pull off something to get us some more picks. We need all we can get.
I for one, am happy to have him here. It will be interesting to see how things pan out. I don't care if we go 4-3, 3-4, or a hybred, as long as the D can shut down the run and get pressure on the QB, I will be happy.
I was reading that every defense that Wannstedt has run has been a 4-3. I know he is not actually running the D now, but I can only assume that they hired him for some plans they have. With that being said, it would take fewer pieces to have a good 4-3 than a 3-4. Poz is a better 4-3 MLB than an ILB in a 3-4. If Merriman comes back healthy, that makes 2 out of 3. The 3rd LB would be the biggest question mark. I'm not sure Moats or Batten would be a fit. The D-line seemed to do better out of the 4-3, and this would make the #3 pick a little more flexible if they go DE.
Will they try to run both?
I wonder who Shawne Merriman has talked to about joining the Bills? It would be nice if he could influence a couple solid FAs. I am in agreement that if we can sign 2-3 starters that it would make give more flexibility in the draft.
If the CBA does not get done until training camp, does that mean the Bills would have the rights to Whitner, Florence, Poz and the other free agents, because the free agency period never happened? If so would their contracts be based off of this last years contract or what?
