A Bills Team That Could Compete


Recommended Posts

Don't expect the SB this year but with a few good moves, a decent draft, and proper utilization of what we have on D the team might just be watchable this year.

 

This offense wouldn't exactly rival the "Greatest Show on Turf" but could provide some consistency and put some points on the board.

 

QB: Edwards/Brohm/mid round rookie (with time to throw and practice one of these guys should be at least serviceable)

 

RB: Fred Jackson

 

TE: Nelson/Shouman

WR1: Evans

WR2: Hardy

WR3: Johnson/Parrish

 

A veteran WR would be really helpful to make this scenario work if Hardy and/or Johnson don't pan out.

 

LT: Rookie (Preferably our 1st rd pick)

LG: Levitre

C: Wood (if healthy)

RG: Incognito

RT: Bell/Meredith/Rookie

 

Simmons and Hangartner should give us some depth.

 

The defense could be something special

 

RE: Kyle Williams

NT: 2nd Rd Rookie or vet like Williams/Rogers

LE: Stroud

 

That front 3 would eat up some blockers.

 

ROLB: Schoebel

RILB: Mitchell

LILB: Poz

LOLB: Joey Porter/Maybin

 

Admittedly some ?s on the LBs but they could definitely put some pressure on opposing QBs. Should use some later picks to shore up depth.

 

CB: Mcgee

CB: Mckelvin

FS: Byrd

SS: Wilson

 

Solid secondary with a ton of depth.

WR2: Hardy - are you freakin kidding me?

 

why is everyone putting Wood at Center? Hangartner is still under contract and was signed to play Center so why make a hole at RG when you suggest moving Wood to Center? Hangartner was probably the Bills most steady lineman last year...that isnt saying much but why move him and not even suggest him in the starting 5?

 

the Bills will be a sub .500 team again next year and probably for years to come

this team looks pretty bad as it is. and then you have to add in the inevitable injuries. im not loosing hope for next year. its just talent alone will not get us there. playcalling and the 3-4 has to work some wonders and someone has to become a beast in the offense. thats the only shot at climbing out of this hole

So you're saying an offense that will be the exact same as last year, minus TO and adding a rookie LT will make us competitive? Seriously?

 

At no point last year were Incognito and Wood on the field at the same time. At no time did Wood play C. At no time did we have a quality LT.

 

Not to mention that Lynch was eating into Jackson's carries for half the season.

Hangartner gets pushed around, Wood doesn't.

Fitz was our best QB last you and you dumped him. If Gailey can straighten out Edwards we might have some improvement from last year

 

Incognito is not on the roster. A rookie LT is bound to have trials and tribulations. As a unit the OL could get better if Wood is healthy and Levitre improves and the new rookie tackle can play. Tackle is still scary.

 

What about Lynch? Jackson is going to need some help from someone.

 

What about a fullback and TE? We need some improvement here because our WR's look to be weak (lost Reed and Owens).

Your front 7 on D consists of 7 question marks. If 5 to 7 are the answer, then you may be on the way to "something special". 2 to 3 are more likely if we are lucky.

Secondary looks good, you got the right players at S. :blush:

 

O still looks like a horror show to me, let's see Chan work some magic here.

Um.....Incongnito is no longer on the team. This error makes your entire thread unreliable.

 

 

Porter's not on our team either, bright boy. I just put together a team that could reasonably be had that might have a halfway decent showing on Sundays.

What are you talking about, it's the same POS team with the D in a 3-4. 18 of 22 starters are the same from last year!?!? You're a regular Bill Polian.

How many of our starters made it through the season last year? I feel like I'm arguing with the founders of mensa here.

So why didn't you start a thread that said, "The Bills can win if they stay healthy!" Pure Genius my friend. :blush:

 

Because we still need help at LT, we haven't resigned Incognito or his replacement, we need a NT, and w/o Porter or someone proven off the edge at olb to rush the QB I don't see the defense bringing enough pressure.
