RIP Mr. Wilson

mmm hmmm

This^^^ - Quoting for truth

The productivity is found by watching him play vs. the run. He is not an every down backer - which devalues the use of #'s in trying to evaluate him. But he sure can stop the run well. Very strong and instinctive.

you're not alone

OMG just shut up Graham.... Look how well making strong efforts to keep all "goodie two shoes" players has done for the Bills over the past 10 + years. Smerlas is NOT the guy you want to take advice from any way. 10 years of his radio show and putting his foot in his mouth constantly have shown that.

Exactly - situational player that we NEED... No problems here

He'd be great on 1st and second down ... not as much a need , but certainly a luxury

I have no idea why we would want Peppers or Ware .... We have a blistering pash rush as it stands.

sorry for those of you that respect these guys (I do too at times) but they just don't have a respectable level of knowledge about our team to have any relevance. Glenn is a very impressive young LT. They may draft a tackle, but not to play LT.

makes sense

Keep him... Schwartz is going to adapt to the players we have here. He has said it himself. Not sure why people make the blatant assumption that he's going to change the scheme so drastically as to make one of our best moves in years meaningless.

Mr. King needs to review what Andre did in his PLAYOFF career (not just SuperBowls, the whole Playoffs) and also consider he played in bad weather on a team that ran as much as it passed. If he took all this into account there is no chance he'd still feel that way.. Tim Brown? Seriously?

September 5, 1993 Home opener vs. New England? If so yes that was certainly one of his greatest plays...

Long time comin' Andre!!

Yep. I mentioned it early on in this thread too And I can't recall a down where there were less than 2 DT's on the field. Well explained!

Our "3-4" defense this past year was about 90% 4-3

I think it's a year by year thing. This year the focus on depth was to fill many traditional positions like Corner and Safety and QB due to injuries, and Oline due to ineptitude. Without knowing for sure I would think this took precedence over ST abilities. That's not to say that Crossman is a good coach or a bad coach as he may prove to be as horrible as many are saying he is, but given what the staff decided (no change at that coaching spot), it gives him basically one more chance to prove it was the players (lack of ST talent) who ultimately failed.

That's a nice way of putting it.... Agreed

thin depth makes for poor special teams... This almost always comes to fruition. Likely (but I cannot prove) the REAL reason Crossman was retained. Disecting special teams film is tough if you're not one of the guys with the plan.

Thanks for the info... Again though 1- I'm not concerned w/ Irvin and 2- Football is not baseball. Reed was the primary receiving threat on a ferrari of an offense that ran more than it passed and played likely more bad weather games than any other team. The numbers are fun but it's clear watching Reed play (whether you lived it or just watching highlights) that he was dominant in a large number of games over his career, and was the best run after catch guy of his time not named Rice.

Thanks!

what is it that some of you don't like about Evans? Not debating, just looking for education

I agree with that personally, just not a 1st rounder...
