LABills08 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I'm sure this has been discussed and I apologize for not finding the proper thread to post this in, but the Bills should really go after this guy. He is a great fit for NT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananathumb Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Saw one mock draft today (Fat White Guy.com) that had Denver taking Price at 11 and Dan Williams going at 12, so taking either at 9 wouldn't be that big a stretch. It's going to be a dilemma for the FO deciding between NT and OT unless they pick up a FA before the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_red Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 lol, Price a 34 NT, lol, he a is great 43 UT, he doesn't fit the 34 at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABills08 Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 lol, Price a 34 NT, lol, he a is great 43 UT, he doesn't fit the 34 at all. Explain yourself. I've seen that certain "scouts" have concluded that same thing, but I don't know what it is based on. Price is a huge, powerful guy. Not too different from Sedrick Ellis in build. Why wouldn't he be suitable for a 3-4? In the same way that people take the combine too seriously, people also take these issues surrounding who can play the 3-4 and who can't way too seriously. Good football players are good football players. If you are a big powerful DT, you should be able to hold your own in the 3-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_red Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 maybe he can't take on 2 guys and is a penetrating DT? That doesn't sounds like a NT to me. So yea lets move a 1gap UT to a 2 gap NT, like our run D was bad enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Long Beach Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Thanks for your expert analysis. Too bad you are wrong. 11) Brian Price*/DT/UCLA: Price is a disruptive force in the middle of the line and is expected to be drafted in the middle of the first round. He has potential as a three-technique lineman and some also believe Price has the skills to be a two-gap end.

Mr. ChumChums Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 For what it's worth, a two-gap END is not the same as a 3-4 NT. Different skillsets. Exactly. It's like comparing Richard Seymore to Vince Wilfork. Completely different. And as a side note, I agree with the analysis that he would be great as a 3-4 DE... but probably not as a NT. Of course, there's the possibility that we will be playing a 1-gap 3-4 instead of a 2-gap style. Wade Phillips runs a 1-gap...and Jay Ratliff, although only 6'4" and 303 lbs does a wonderful job as NT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagon Circler Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Mel Kuiper the other day picked Price as a player who could be drafted a little later and be a very solid pro. Sort of a "sleeper" Doesn't sound like anyone is sleeping on him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABills08 Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 First to admit I was wrong. A bit too giddy to prove the dude wrong. He still fits a 3-4 scheme. And I still see no reason to think he can't be NT. But, whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoring is not hardy Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Some people say that Suh can be a 3-4 NT. His strength and push is just that good. Sure he could, but he's a much better 3-4 end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good football players are good football players. If you are a big powerful DT, you should be able to hold your own in the 3-4. Completely disagree. The technique, skill set, and size/strength needed to be in a 3-4 is different from a 4-3. Why should anyone assume that someone who is good in one will automatically transition to the other? It's like assuming a WR can be a great CB. There may be those guys out there that can make the change, but it's not an easy thing to do and shouldn't be expected. Heck, you can't guarantee taking a dominant RT and transitioning him to LT in the NFL. IMO, it's a VERY dangerous pick (especially in the first few rounds) to gamble on someone playing a new position in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acantha Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 First to admit I was wrong. A bit too giddy to prove the dude wrong. Even if it had read two-gap DT, I don't think that a line saying "some think he could be" is "proof" of anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
