spartacus

did Donald Trump tell you he was runnning for president as well?

your entire premise is flawed you base your desire on running the ball on the misconception that the Bills have an OL that can dominate at the LOS when the D is not spread ou. The Bills OL is not good and can not generate a power running game from a traditional set. Teh only way the Bills generate run production is as a direcct by-product of the spread offense creating running lanes-

Bills will make a lot of noise about chasing some big name free agents However, those guys will surprising at the last minute sign with some other team and the Bils will sign a few guys off of Green Bay's practice squad

so was Wood wearing a brace when his knee blew out?

The point is the Bills already had not 1, but 2, pro bowl quality RBs on the team already - with numerous holes everywhere else prevenmting the team from pass blocking and rushing the passer. In a league where passing is king, the Bills really do not have a clue and Spiller did nothing to improve the above. hell- he didn't even improve the running game

hard to tell from the photo, but do all the OL wear knee braces as standard equipment? this article says it is mandatory for training camp http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2010/07/29/knee-braces-mandatory-for-o-line/

and the 2nd pick to get another stud playmaker (or QB) and about $45 mil in cap room and big input on how to use the above to build the team The Dolphins have Ralph II as the meddlng clueless owner

the only team that firmly believes you need to blow 1st round picks on RBs is the Bills (over and over and over) Teams that have a clue can find good RB production in the mid-rounds (Foster, Charles)and from re-cycled free agents (Fred Jackson) The market is close to that 4th rounder the Bills got when traded their last 1st round RB

good thing Buddy has been drafting to fill those criteria in his 3 years with the team maybe those parameters came to him in a dream while he was napping during free agency

It's hard to be better than Dick Jauron

He definitely should have gotten 6 years to turn things around in Oakland Firing Jackson ruins the continuity of contiuning crappiness inherent in the Raider organization.

James Hardy is available he is TALL

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ or what our GM does during free agency

the Bills can't consistently run the ball from a traditional power offense because their OL is not capable of it. They can't win consistently at the point of attack, especially when teams can stack the box due to the non-existent mid to long range passing game. the run game was productive at times in 2011 because of the lanes created by the spread formation. The Bills need an NFL quality line to run an NFL caliber offense Without a LT, you are severely limited in what you can run

Needs can be filled with other than the 1st pick the Bills ended up with JP, Hardy and Maybin because they have no clue how to evaluate talent if the Bills had a clue, they could have acquired quality players filling the specific needs they were after - Orakpo is a player - Maybin is a turd they drafted Hardy because he was TALL- taken right after him were Eddie Royal, DeSesan Jackson and Jerome Simpson - players still producing in the league and with a savvy GM, they could have moved up a few spots to get Jordy Nelson

Bell is not good he just the best of what the Bills pretend to be LTs He is only serviceable in the 2 second dump off passing game that Chan is forced to run to hide the mess that is the OL Bell is weak and can not get push in the run game and gets overwhelmed by skilled pass rushers

still spouting this crap even after 16 NFL games proves that Cam is not a run first QB

you can keep Marv - he rode the Hall of Fame talent Polain acquired -and still managed to screw up and not win a SB Polian is the real deal, Even if he is retired, he is better than what we have had in the last 15 years He understands you need a QB and a pass rush to be a contender and built his team accordingly He then went out and tanked the season to be guaranteed the next great QB

first you need a good GM

Rams or Colts Fisher is smart enough is avoid all teams without a franchise QB Dolphins do not have one and have no chance to get one in this draft Fins are just being used for leverage to drive up the price a team with a QB has to pay

except that is would help immensely to have a coach with background in the 3-4 to run it. Taking a 4-3 guy and pretending he can run a 3-4 because he is already on staff is typical of the Bills business as usual at OBD

Buddy says they are a 3-4 team expect more dysfunction as they keep the 3-4 and hire Wanny as a 4-3 coach to run it Buddy has been drafting for a 3-4 since he got here - why would he change now?

go back to Polian The Bills have not drafted a true NFL LT with a premium pick since Polian picked Will Wolford. Even when they did spend the #4 pick on an OL, they passed on McKinney the true LT for another project. Even by accident they would have drafted a LT in 18 years unless there was some agenda in place.

if you want to pound the ball, you need to do 3 three things: 1. get a OC and OL committed to that philosophy 2. obtain OL players capable of winning individually at the point of attack 3. develop a teamwide attitude of toughness that you will run the ball successful (no excuses) goes back to point #1 Notice that you do not need top 10 RBs to make this work

The Bills pass too much because it is the only way to cover up for the craptacular OL. and the only way they can even pass the ball is for Fitz to release it under 2 seconds. If the Bills tried to run a conventional power run game, they would be stuffed because the OL can not sustain blocks at the point of attack. The success they have had running the ball has been out of the spread offense, where the defense is spread out. Until the Bills develop an NFL quality line, the offense will continue to resort to gimmicks
