Bill's Defensive Leadership

[Tolstoy]

The article in the D&C this morning brought to mind how fortunate we are to have such great leadership on defense. London Fletcher, says his former coach Martz, is a leader on the field, and the kind of player who makes everyone better around him.

 

The same, however, can and has been said for Lawyer Malloy, whose former team (Patsies) almost committed collective suicide when he left. He, too, commands the respect and attention of his teammates on and off the field.

 

The same can again be said for Troy Vincent, who is not only an excellent defensive back, but is also the player voted by all of his peers to represent them and their interests in bargaining with management.

 

Perhaps to a lesser degree, Sam Adams can be included here.

 

To have three, possibly four genuine leaders such as this is a great credit to Donahoe, and reflects, perhaps, the kind of person he himself is: a man of character. After all, like knows like.

Agreed Leo but I think you left out the ultimate leader of the Bills defense, possibly because he wasn't brought in by Donahoe.

My guess is that at the end of the day Fletch, Milloy, Vincent and Takeo all look to Phat Pat for leadership.

Don't forget Takeo... aside from arguably London, I would say that he brings the most passion to our defense. That's a leader! You will see that this Sunday when Takeo gets a big sack on Kitna, in a crucial part of the game.
