buffalo_bills Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Ok, so there are 22 starters on both sides of the ball. These are the ones on our team that i would consider legitemate starters. 1) Lynch ( Jackson, spiller) 2) Eric wood 3) Andy Levitre 4) Lee Evans 5) Kyle Williams 6) Jarius Byrd 7) Donte Whitner- yes i went there! 8) Terrence Mcgee 9) Leodis Mckelvin 10) Paul Pozlusny In other words, we have 12 holes to fill pn this team. Of course, that is to be ELITE. To even be competitive again, i say maybe 6, if it includes QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly Wood and Levitre have yet to demonstrate they're more deserving of starting spots this season than Demetrius Bell. McKelvin looks great and then gets exposed -- not what I'd like as a starter when we run man coverage. Whitner really looks worse than George Wilson to me and certainly Bryan Scott so I don't see that at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say about half of them, mainly from our secondary. This team is in a huge hole personnel-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpperDeck Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Then ask yourself this, how many of them are starters on a playoff team? I'd say about half of them, mainly from our secondary. This team is in a huge hole personnel-wise. Not quite right. The best playoff teams have maybe 6 or 7 Pro Bowl players. Other playoff teams have 3 or 4 of them. The rest of their players are average to above average "filler". So most of our players he listed could start on a playoff team. The problem is we have the filler but none of the All Pro players.

Bflojohn Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 The secondary would look alright IF they could generate anything resembling a pass rush. There is no pressures, let alone sacks. It is conventional wisdom that you can't run a 3-4 without 4 outstanding LB's, look to Pittsburgh and Baltimore for proof!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 you can't run a 3-4 without 4 outstanding LB's, look to Pittsburgh and Baltimore for proof!! Yes. Back when the Bills ran 3-4 and had a good D, they had: -Bennett -conlan -Talley They also had an all universe DE that typically tied up 2 O-linemen on every down. The SS should not be the leading tackler with the amount of running from the Jets today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
