Couple of other LBs could be considered.... Spikes, Haslett, Sam Rogers, Shane Nelson, Eugene Marve, Spielman, Paup.... lots of good ones over the years.
We posted literally at the same time lol with some of the same players.
Love your call on this and the breadth of coverage over the years ... just for fun I wanna throw a couple names out.. no right or wrong here...
OG - Take out Brown Insert Reggie McKenzie
FB - Take out Gash put in Mueller or Carwell Gardener
T - Take out Fina put in Peters
CB - Take out Clements put in Romes
S - leave the list put in Steve Freeman
I agree here... Jeff Wrights play against the run was about as bad as it could get... yes, he got gap penetration... but I wonder if I could you the OP could get free if you were playing with Bruce Smith and Cornelius Bennett rushing the passer LOL
I will stay home for this one... and probably be semi controversial...
Include - Tasker, Kent Hull and Biscuit
Remove - Marv Levy
I may be bitter from 4 superbowl losses but I believe he may have had one of the best teams assembled and never won one. He was radically out coached in at least 2 of those games. I have always felt he was a product of Bill Polian's GM prowess... He was excellent coach that kept those egos in check and focused (mostly) LOL but not Hall of Fame level.
I know because on the opposite side he is maybe the primary person we have coming back that we are counting on to lead the defense and wreck games for other offenses. Tough kid, I am hopeful that he returns to form.
Thats where I am at... and I do expect him to come back strong, but the possibility exists and that's why it would be a surprise... but lets face it... this guy has had some nasty injury history... at what point does his body just go I cant do this anymore... I hope its not this year.
If Damar is a surprise then Damar
If not I would go Milano (yes I assume I get pushback here....) but I can envision him not coming back or healing properly and simply losing the ability to perform and the Bills either cutting or IRing him.
That would hurt us for sure... but not impossible.. I am holding out hope he comes back to a certain level that can be productive but obviously not at his old all world level.
There is always the conspiracy theorist in me... saying the NFL hates us and is fixed... not gonna lie LOL ... but reality is that to me the numbers have to mean something and it is way too easy to say oh thats just the refs.. I think we have to examine the type of receiver and offensive game plan we have. Are we getting separation, do we have threats that have to get PI, do we have big physical receivers that they need to hold, how effective is our us of tight end and does it create mismatches that result in penalties etc...
Great list, forgot about LT... will never forgive Fouts for the Bills playoff loss in SD.
I can go back and like them... but currents... I just cant do it either...
