  1. In the 3-4? Seriously? ALL FOUR Linebackers need to be replaced. they are all backups on good teams. Take the best pass rushing LB in the draft!

     

    Isn't it a touch early to pass judgement on Sheppard? He's doing well for a rookie third-rounder.

  2. I was just reading this post and came across your comment and it instantly brought me right back down to reality. :( There will be no big free agent signings in Buffalo. But I guess we can dream......... Maybe we'll get Peyton and Wayne?!?!?!

     

    I like what we're doing now by building through the draft. That way, when our own FAs are due for new contracts, the money will be available.

  3. i think you will change your mind after this weeks game vs denver and you see how Miller and Elvis just run by Pears and Bell with ease

     

    Bills need a legit LT...i understand they need LBs too but i dont think you pass on a legit LT that can start for the next decade

     

    We also need OLBs to set the edge. Willis McGahee et al will be running by Kelsay and whoever else lines up at OLB with ease.

  4. Flame away but consider this.

     

    He brings fire and passion. Surround him with a strong offensive team and keep Wanny in place and I think that could change the soft culture that has been around 1 Bills Drive since Wade left.

     

    Since this would be his first HC gig he might consider coming to a place such as Buffalo, but woudln't command a salary like Gruden, Billick or Cowher (guys who are older and wouldn't come anyways).

     

    Enough with the "give Chan a chance" crap. The reason I am not sold on him or Edwards is that they are absolutely unable to adapt, in game or between games.

     

    It has been the same story week in and week out. Change has to come or they risk not selling out November games on top of December games next year.

     

    So you want a 3-4 DC to be our head coach, but with a 4-3 DC?

  5. Its a little late but watched the Marshall Fiu game and there were a few prospects and futures that looked good;

     

     

     

    DE Tourek Williams 6'4" 255

     

    Like this kid a lot was always bringing the heat and disrupting the back field, had nice rip moves and took on double teams and still made tackles. Looks way bigger than 255 but maybe because he was so jacked. not sure if he is coming out but wouldn't mind him after 3.

     

     

    Can you see this guy as an OLB?

  6. Per ESPN Insider:

     

    1. Colts: Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford

    2. Rams: Matt Kalil, OT, USC

    3. Vikings: Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU

    4. Browns: Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama

    5. Jaguars: Quinton Coples, DE, North Carolina

    6. Buccaneers: Dre Kikpatrick, CB, Alabama

    7. Redskins: Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor

    8. Dolphins: Matt Barkley, QB, USC

    9. Panthers: Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State

    10. Bills: Riley Reiff, OT, Iowa

     

    What say you?

     

     

    I think McShay is off on this. We have servicable starters (at best) at OT, but we have a crying need at OLB.

  7. Last year we gave up 4.8 ypa against the run.

    This year we have so far given up 4.8 ypa against the run.

     

    Last year we were dead last in total yards given up. This year we look to have a few teams worse than we are.

    I don't believe it's much an improvement if we give up the same number of yards every time the other guy tries.to run, and have fewer attempts against the run for some reason.

     

    If we aren't dead last in the league this year, we can certainly see dead last from our current position.

     

    We have not yet done enough drafting (especially at OLB) to stop the bleeding.

  8. The goal of any offense is to exploit the opposing Defense's weakness. Ours was run defense. Houston's was pass defense--they were the worst in the league. In total, they gave up slightly more points than the Bills D last season.

     

    Your stuck arguing from a losing position--you cannot alter the fact that the Houston D sucked last year and now they are a top D, only because of a change at DC. And you can't convincingly argue Edwards's failure is mainly due to injuries because when he had all his healthy players, he still produced a bad defense this season, his second in the system.

     

    The change of DC AND the change of system AND the drafting of better players in the past.

  9. Last year the Bills were the same D scheme (4-3/3-4, whatever it is) as they are this year--and they were better than the Houston D in total yards and points (i.e., they were not "better" than ours).

     

    They say it is a poor craftsman who blames his tools.

     

    Or, to quote my son's favorite movie: Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave! With a box of scraps!

     

    The first goal in any scheme is to stop the run, and I believe we were last in the league.
