Pine Barrens Mafia Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Someone wanna tell me what the plan is on defense? Is there a plan? The LB corps was thinner than Telly Sevalas' hair. Now it's a man down. Is the plan to play with street free agents once the injuries pile up? I liked Nix's draft this year, but his approach to free agency is just flat out WRONG.

Nanker Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Well j6p, they HAVE to spend a certain amount of money - at least $10mm more than last year. With fewer players now under contract, something's gotta give. Maybe the plan is to have the highest paid drafted rookies, UDFAs and modestly talented veterans in the League. Scratch that. The drafted rookie and UDFA money is capped. So, maybe all those rookies get roster spots and the rest of the money goes to extending Maybin and re-signing McCargo.

K Gun Special Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I heard Buddy wanted to restructure Kelsay based on his outstanding performance last year. Wanted to make him the highest paid character/high motor white guy this side of K. Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would drive Poz to Jacksonville myself... that's not the issue. The issue is Nix is basically saying they are just going to promote from within.

Let's not quickly overreact (yes, I know who I'm talking to) The test will be on the eventual replacement. The market obviously values a 2nd tier Poz at about $7mil/yr. Bills' choices are to fill in with next best FA out there (unlikely), hope for more vets to be cut and grab some at bargain rates (aka Davis, Ayodele) and wait to see how the youngsters develop (very likely). No need crying over Bills' time proven strategy. This is not Pegula's team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest three3 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 poz isn't worth it. neither is whitner. remember: jauron had his backers, as did the glove wearing mary and so does ralph, though most of you are beginning to see the light on that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloaggie Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I've never said Poz ain't worth it. I wanted him kept. Solid performer. Character guy. When you're thin on defense, you don't let guys like that go. For all the complaining about the ridiculous Kelsay signing, Poz for a million more per year would have been beyond comprehension. Read about Sheppard, and I think your worries will be lessened. We lost experience, but with Dareus up front, the new ILB will be freed up to make plenty of plays. Poz was not a playmaker. Solid is even a stretch, IMO. The Bills drafted TWO ILBs. I think they knew Poz wanted out or they realized he was not a good fit in a 3-4.

BuffaloBaumer Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 This is NOT Nix's plan, it is the Golisano / Ralph plan of not spending money if you don't have to.....What in the world do you people expect. NOTHING will change until there is a new owner and that is not something I encourage either as the Bills may move to where that owner wants them. IT IS WHAT IT IS! Go tot the tailgates, watch some football but DON'T expect a winning team....you will enjoy the season much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unintentionally he's manuvering to draft Andrew Luck next year. And I thought this year's draft was very average by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeviF Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) Do you have a high motor? Do you carry a lunch pail to work? Yes to both. There can be no doubt that I am the next Bills DE ILB.

The Avenger Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Yes to both. There can be no doubt that I am the next Bills DE ILB. Now who's starting the twitter campaign?

Lurker Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Let's not quickly overreact (yes, I know who I'm talking to) But that's the Raison d'être for TSW.
