Mr_Blizzard Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I hope that the pro personnel department can find a gem on somebody else's practice squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I'd also like to see both Williams and Darius inside at tackle provided you need to get either Shepard or Barnett to play OLB as both are looking too good to not be starting. Having Kelsey at one end also isn't a bad thing and Carrington at the other. I'd then sign a free agent OLB who can rush the passer and draft a CB in the 1st round. I'd then use 2nd round pick on a DE who maybe replaces Kelsey in a year. If Sheppard or Barnett can't play outside, then scrap it, leave Darius at nose and with K Williams, Carrington, and Kelsey at ends. CB's are then A Williams and rookie, with Florence as nickel and McKelvin as dime. I can stomach him as the dime! I still say that the answer is to go back to the 4-3 after this season - Williams and Darius in the middle would be an absolute force and that is absolutely the hardest position to fill - Kelsay returns to his natural position of defensive end......Carrington is big for the spot but would still have a role.......Troupe would be a backup - We will still be left with the same situation as we are even with a healthy Wiliams....we need outside linebackers and corners....upgrade those positions and you have a force of a defense.

Dopey Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) Could be a blessing in disguise. We're now good enough that the front office should show attention to free agency, and now may be bad enough to help our draft status, wich we really need another good one. I'm not giving up on this year, but its been good enough to be positive with whatever happens next...... WTF!!!!!! I USUALLY HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE USE ALL CAPS!! BUT, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!? ARE YOU REALLY TALKING DRAFT STATUS?!?!? HALF WAY THROUGH THE SEASON AND WE ARE TIED FOR 1ST PLACE AND YOU ARE TALKING DRAFT STATUS, BLESSING IN DISGUISE?!?!?! WOW!!! probably the same thing Antonio Gates had, plantar fascitis...Your feet can feel fine, go play a series, sit down, stand up off the bench with excuicating pain. Happens to Overweight people and those who put too much stress on their feet. From what I read (no link, sorry) we tried cutting out the heal from his cleat to try and aleviate(sp) pressure. I had plantar faceitis(sp) and that would not be a problem with the heal. Totally different. I read it might be spurs behind the achilles.Again no link(sorry) Crap. Well, it's an opportunity for the young guys to step up. Dareus, Troup and Heard are more of the wide body traditional NT for a 3-4 anyway so lets see who steps up. KW wasn't having his usual impact anyway and now we know why. Let him heal completely for next season and let the kids take the sandbox for the rest of the season. KW is only 28 and should have plenty of gas in the tank once he's healed up. Could Dareus make Kyle trade bait this offseason? jus sayin' Edited November 9, 2011 by Dopey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I am really not understanding the thinking of trading Kyle Williams.....when you have good players why trade them? Having good players is a GOOD thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 It sucks that as Dareus is starting to really emerge, Williams can't be out wrecking havoc with him. This could be as good of a group as there is in the middle. I just hope a full offseason of rest will heal Kyle because foot issues can be career killers for big guys.

apuszczalowski Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Why are people making such a huge deal out of this? Hoe many games has Williams, even played in this year? Its not like he was the sole reason why the Bills are currently 5-3 and tied for the AFC East lead (or can I say they are tied for the lead? I remember a post with some whining about the pats refering to themselves being tied last week but they weren't because of a tiebreaker?) Having a fully healthy, 2010 season Kyle Williams would definitly help improve the defence from where they are now, but losing him isn't going to make them anyworse then they have been the last month or more.

CBD Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 What if it nets you a 1st & 3rd or 4th? If you make that trade you are hoping the 1st can net you a player who can be as good as Williams, and as we know the draft can be a crapshoot. In Williams you have a relatively young player signed to a multi year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Yep. Williams...who is proven in character and ability. As the troup and heard get better the hard way by next season we should be brutal up front with very good depth. I figured MD for NT anyways and move him around, same as Kyle but inversed. I think next year we should consider a stud FA DE because that is when we we really be coming into our own. Lockout hurt us more than most imho. even though he played at much lower level this season i love to see him on the field. get well soon KW! maybe for our playoff run?

Makes a lot of sense. Spencer Johnson could speel at Tackle, and Dwan Edwards and Carrington could battle it out for the Left Defensive End. One area of concern though is MLB, and Barnett, as well as he has played at times, is on the small side. He could find himself in a battle with Shepard for it. Chris White may also be in the MLB mix next year as well. This would leave OLB a real sore spot though, but it already is that anyway. We still have no known answers for LB's period going forward.
