Where do you get that from? I thought they were happy with Kolb becoming the new starter. Personally, I don't see the Eagles taking a QB in the second.

Okay so 9 games with the Bills and the majority of the games his last season with the Bengals somehow make him directly comparable with Brohm? Fitzpatrick has had much more experience than Brohm in regular season games. I didn't say that Brohm was better than Fitz, I said that relatively speaking he wasn't that bad compared to a normal Fitzpatrick game. Basically, I was trying to state that he has upside. Sure he didn't score 18 points, but how long had he known the playbook? How long had he practiced with the first team? How many regular season snaps had he taken before that game? Relatively speaking, Brohm has some upside, if he can use it is yet to be seen.

He look's like Dave Grohl.

Personally, I would like to see the Bills bring in a few more guys: An interior lineman for depth and experience, either G or C. Possibly a WR, but as BGIOP points out, that might come after the draft. A DT stop-gap to compete with Kyle Williams and draft pick for starting position. Also, I never thought of this before, but I do like the idea of a good blocking FB if we can get one. Just my two cents.

Good points. I wish Brohm good luck this off-season. IMO, he has enough upside to surprise some people on this board... If I remember correctly, his numbers didn't seem that much worse than an average Fitzpatrick game. Not to bash Fitzy, but Brohm held his own for someone who barely had any time to learn the playbook and practice with the first team.

After thinking this over, I like this idea best. Draft a decent QB and have him and Brohm develop under Hasselback for a year or two and see what happens.

You are correct, that's the other half of the problem, but I think that will be less of a problem now that we an offensive minded coach. I have faith that Gailey can find some way to squeeze more production out of the offense even if we have to stick with the same QB's.

I've always been a fan of the old saying, "A good offense starts with a good defense." That being said, I don't know how much that necessarily effects football, but I do think that that was part of the problem last year. We couldn't get the defense off the field on third downs! However, using our first two picks to grab defensive players isn't a lock that the defense will be better, especially with the transition to 3-4, and then in turn improve the offense. It's still a thought, though, that I wouldn't be totally opposed to. Personally, I think our defense isn't too far off from being a top unit, but like I said nothing is guaranteed with the transition. IMO, we are a few key pieces away from having a great defensive unit. We have talented players in Byrd and K. Williams and Poz, but that's not enough. We need a NT, pass rushing specialist OLB, big bad ILB and a lockdown CB. Now, I know these are key fixtures in a 3-4, but what I'm trying to say is that we aren't totally devoid of talent on defense. We do have some pretty talented, young players already. Moreover, we all hope McKelvin can pan out into a great lock-down CB, but that is yet to be seen and after that we don't have any of the other three. Sure, I suppose there is an outside chance Maybin turns into some great pass rushing OLB, but we still definitely need a big nasty ILB and a NT to stop the run. I've always liked Poz and now the Davis signing, but I still think that ILB we need isn't on the roster yet. Just my two cents on the defense.

^^ Yes.

Sounds like it motivates him that teams lost interest, but he likes that the Bills took the chance. I think he will play hard to prove everyone wrong.

I partially agree with you. Firstly, I never said Sanchez is the face of the Jets, I said he was intended to be and that happening has yet to be determined. Secondly, I would agree that as of now, Rex Ryan is definitely the most noticeable, let's say "character", that represents the Jets, so I guess he qualifies, for now.

UpstateSwagger was there!

UpstateSwagger - Great report. Much appreciated! Mr. Wonderful - try some class, please.

Well said. I like Kyle Williams too much to give up on him now. Sure, he doesn't fit the prototypical NT or 3-4 DE mold, but he still plays hard, giving it 100% every down, and that's the kind of guy I would want out there. I think we owe it to him to let him find a place in the defense. In fact, I would be shocked if he doesn't find a way to make it work, whatever scheme is thrown at him.

To all those who think Spiller may be our guy at #9, I am starting to think that way as well. As shown, he could very well be the best player available and is too good to pass on, especially with an offensive minded coach. I also agree that we don't need to move Lynch to draft him. Giving Gailey three guys to work with could work wonders.

Way to rain on everyone's parade I wasn't on the board back then so I wouldn't know how it was in 2008, but I feel good about the two latest signings.

I agree with you, but I'd like to see the Bills draft an OLB. Before anyone mentions his name, I'm not a big Joey Porter fan, so I'd rather go young at OLB.

I think that's the basic gameplan Edwards has for this year. I don't believe we are going to stick to anything traditional rather switch things up a lot, because we don't have the personnel to run one type of 3-4 all the time. I'm expecting some freak mutated brand of the 3-4 that combines a lot of different looks. As long as it finds a way to stop the run I'll be happy

I agree with your argument on the whole, but I believe Sanchez is "supposed" to be the face of the Jets. He didn't really lock it up last year though, despite the improbable playoff run. Another good year with better stats and I think he becomes that guy for the Jets. As for the Dolphins, no one comes to mind, to me at least.

Edwards isn't final yet, but yes I agree, good signing(s). Good job Buddy!

thanks for the update John.

Of course

Actually, you're right. I forgot how ridiculous his contract was. But, yes this isn't a Kelsay thread, so any news on Edwards?

I don't think you can say that for sure. Okay, maybe a lower pick than 4th, but I personally think you could get something for him. He is a serviceable 4-3 end.
