I wouldn't be so quick to assume that he is an addict. Many people take drugs occasionally who are not addicts. He just got caught.

If Chris Carter and Andre Reed can't get in ahead of Doleman, Kennedy or Martin then they will never make it. Chris Doleman especially. Come on.

:D That's good. Yeah, patience. I mean, what's 10 years without a playoff birth...

This. 3 or 4 new starters in the front 7, including at least one elite pass rusher. It's a 50% turnover.

It's all just re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. The same players are out there, just in different spots. What the Bills D needs is better players not new schemes.

The best is how his team mates high five him after he gets ejected. Classy.

Balance wins championships. You have to be strong in all phases. The reason the Giants and Patriots won their respective championship games is because their defenses stepped up in those games, otherwise they would've both been out.

This.

Mocking others makes them feel better about themselves.

ANOTHER DT? How many DTs do the Bills need? When are they going to start drafting DEs? Maybe they should take a look at the Giants to see how you build a pass rush. Hint- it's not with DTs.

Possession changes when the ball crosses the LOS. Therefore as soon as the ball is kicked and crosses the LOS, the game is over. What happens afterwards is irrelevant.

The Bills are going to continue to play a hybrid defense. Nix, Wannstadt and Gailey all downplayed a switch back to the 4-3, saying that every team in the league except for KC and Detroit plays some level of hybrid. Also, if they flat switch to a 4-3 what are they going to do with all their 3-4 players (Merriman, Edwards, Carrington, Sheppard, Moats, Batten, etc.). Kick them to the curb and fall another 2 years behind in the perpetual rebuild? Upshaw would be a player that can play 4-3 or 3-4 so he would be a logical pick, but this is all premature. Players move up and down like crazy after the combine.

Except for Upshaw, it looks a lot like the front 7 that's got schooled this season in terms of personnel. I doubt seriously that Williams can play DE and keep any kind of containment or provide and edge pass rush. Also, are you showing Searcy at CB???

Mike Nolan to the Saints. That would be a great pickup for them.

I hope so too, but the Bill's can't draft everybody. Two WR, a LT, a CB, two pass rushers AND a QB? Some of these positions are going to have to come from FA.

How about just the first 5 from last year's draft: Newton Dareus Miller Green Peterson Very good and young...

I was very high on Carrington coming into this season but he really disappointed. He got manhandled on running plays and was invisible in the pass rush (supposedly his specialty). He had a huge opportunity with the injuries and just didn't do anything with it. The fact that the Bills thought Spencer Johnson was a better DE option than Carrington says it all about his chances to play 4-3 DE. I agree about Batten, but I've seen some flashes out of Moats. I'd like to see how he does in a new scheme before I write him off completely.

I like it. It all depends on signing FAs however. If the Bills can re-sign S Johnson, D Bell and S Chandler, and then bring in a FA wide receiver like Vincent Jackson then I'd be all over your top 3. Otherwise, they may need to waste more picks hoping to replace guys that they let slip away and stay on the treadmill for another year.

Just my gut feeling. The Bills should definitely be looking to upgrade the SLB position through the draft.

I was thinking the same thing as I was reading the article. I think that knee braces are mandatory on the Bills for training camp and if I'm not mistaken, practices during the week. It's a policy that Gailey brought.

Sure, IF they sign Mario Williams of which I am skeptical. I think Kelsay looked better this year playing lighter than he did at 270. Also, why don't you think that Barnett can play the weakside OLB in a 4-3? I think he would fit in well. Finally, I'd consider giving Moats a shot at the strong side OLB. I have a feeling that he can play this position.

You mean back when the Bills ranked 10 - 15 spots higher in total defense? Maybe it's time to consider that developing a defense based on stopping the pass is how you win in today's NFL.

All part of the master plan to "get bigger". They have accomplished this. Too bad it made the defense worse and not better.

You don't get better by playing against lesser competition. The better the coaching in the AFC East the better for the Bills, IMO... that is if you want to win a Super Bowl and not just go to the playoffs and get smoked. Plus it makes the divisional games more entertaining.
