Numark Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Just look at this defense and how much potential it has (4 new players in front 7 and are in bold) DEs - Stroud, Edwards, Carrington, Kelsay DTs - Williams, Troup LBs - Schobel, Maybin, Davis, Mitchel, Poz CBs - McGee, Mckelvin, Florence, Corner, Lankster Ss - Byrd, Whitner, McKelvin, Wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermike Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 It's a defense that might even stop the run and force turnovers for our mediocre offense. But we'll be able to control the ball on offense, so you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo_bills Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Now add Alex Carrington to the DE's. I am getting to be really excited about our defense. If we can just stay healthy, i think we can be a good if not great defense. We already have a good secondary, and i feel with the additons of edwards, davis, troup and carrington, we will be a much tougher and phyical defense.

Carrington is a pretty damn good pick to really strengthen a front 7 that has been seriously upgraded this off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills_red Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Maybe Carrington will be as good as Chris Ellis??? ugh. Alex is a run stuffing 34 DE, Ellis was thought of as a 34 pass rushing OLB going into the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you Edwards. Troup weight is that of a DT. Schobel has never played 3-4 before, Lankster is practice squad material, McGee and McKelvin are short going against tall guys like Holmes, Marshall, and Moss. Whitner is an average player. Other than that, I'd say the defense has a ton of potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flomoe Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Maybe Carrington will be as good as Chris Ellis??? Ellis won't even be considered for a position on the D-Line. Even making a comparison of Ellis and Carrington shows the ignorance and idiocy of the poster. Do a little research before you make your moronic comments. This, IMO, is a pretty good pick. Schobel is up in the air, Stroud isn't a natural 3-4 end, along with S. Johnson or Williams. Carrington can stop the run and I can picture him as a DLE similar to Hansen, with a bit more rush ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon - that crap analysis can make any defense sound like crap. We got some good players today. Freaking relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All he's there for is to tie up blockers and thats what he does best. You also bag on our CBs based on their height...did you watch mcgee and florence play last year? If you did, you wouldnt include them in an arguement over if the bills D has improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do hope Carrington ends up panning out better than Ellis. If he plays one down, he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills already said Ellis will move to OLB in the new system along with Kelsay and Schobel. Now Carrington was project by almost every scout to be a 3-4 5 technique DE...IMO Good Pick. I posted on this board today the Bills wanted Troup look at what our scouts were saying about him leading up to the draft it was obvious they think he is better than Cody and Thomas...time will tell. If we can add Ricky Sapp I'll be really happy with the defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
