Heitz Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Didn't see this posted, but I like the move even more... http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-3...ba-4913e6abfaed The veteran linebacker talked about the franchise’s tradition as well as their move to a 3-4 defensive scheme as some of the aspects that convinced him to visit the Bills, but defensive coordinator George Edwards was one of the club's best selling points having been Davis' linebackers coach in Cleveland in 2004. “It was a huge factor in this decision," said Davis of Edwards being Buffalo's defensive coordinator “We had a great relationship in Cleveland and now we have the chance to do it all over again. He believes in me and I believe in him and I know we can get it done. The whole time I was in there we just kept talking about the defensive players that we have on this squad right now and with his expertise and my experience and the guys’ playmaking abilities we can definitely turn this thing around.” Davis is also very familiar with Bills outside linebackers coach Bob Sanders, who coached him for three of his collegiate seasons at the University of Florida.

HurlyBurly51 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Like the signing a lot. Scratch McClain off your lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 This is great news IMO...he is a very underrated LB and is a great addition to a weak spot on this team. Thought the same thing wherever he played. Kind of reminds me of London Fletcher in his intensity on the field. I've always liked Andra Davis. Glad we could get this done.

Chandler#81 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Nothing but good things from Denver fans http://forums.denverbroncos.com/showthread.php?t=164006 Good? I think this is great! Gotta add: Bronco fans are pretty classy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Like the signing a lot. Scratch McClain off your lists. McClain will be a good player, but I couldn't see justifying picking him at 9, when the Bills have needs at LT and NT. Now that (drafting an ILB at 9) is no longer a concern.

I didn't know about those connections we had with our coaching staff, but now that I do I really like this signing. Good job Buddy and co. Like the signing a lot. Scratch McClain off your lists. I agree. McClain will be a good player, but I couldn't see justifying picking him at 9, when the Bills have needs at LT and NT. Now that (drafting an ILB at 9) is no longer a concern. Exactly. Not worth it for the Bills at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 back up Mitchell & Poz, yes, replace, no. is my bet. There isn't a LB in Buffalo that this guy stands behind on the depth chart. Either Kawika gets kicked outside into the Schobel/Maybin mix, or he backs up Davis. Great pick-up for Buddy and Doug. Andra is a player's player.

Mitchell definitely gets kicked (back) to the outside. But whether he's back to 100% is the real question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic_soulja Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Coaches told him he can compete with Veek and Poz for the starting job inside...good deal...I like Poz and Davis inside and maybe Veek back outside...We need more edge guys...We should be moving for Porter...but a big ticket to add to the mix with Shobel and Maybin already making good money and being counted on for edge ability...but can they cover anyone ever?...we will have to wait and see...Davis is a stud and it's a great signing...the middle of our defense is getting stronger...we got the secondary settled...just the questions at NT though Stroud is capable...and the OLB's...

Hazed and Amuzed Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I would like to see us try and grab Spikes in the second still. Davis and Spikes on the inside with Poz and Scobel/Maybin on the outside sounds good to me! Pipe dream probably but we'd have pretty good depth too. Like I said it's a pipe dream but it would be fun to watch that tandem I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cale Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 At 4.4 mil over 2 years, this signing is a steal if he plays to even half his potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rstencel Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Reminds me of London Fletcher How? He is large slower LB that relies on strength and taking direct angles. London is undersized small LB that relied on speed and runs around the blockers. Can't think of a much different type of Lb to compare him too.
