DanInUticaTampa Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Dont he struggle in coverage? I always thought he had trouble against TEs... Let's face it, our whole defense has trouble with tight ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickelCity Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I like the "Brad Smith" of defense comment. That's essentially my feeling as well, and he does play with a nice intensity that sets the tone for the younger guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Let's face it, our whole defense has trouble with tight ends. Thus the need for a better pass rush. I still hope Aaron Williams becomes the superior player they expect him to become… because I still think about the opportunity they had to draft Jabaal Sheard last year. He looked great on video, was highly rated, was recruited by Wanny to Pitt, and finished his rookie season with 8.5 sacks and 5 forced fumbles. I was thrilled he was available at our pick… and wonder what Wanny had to say about him during draft prep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I like Williams, but there were missed opportunities that seemed obvious, even on draft day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 PEOPLE Scott Plays a hybrid role, and a LB IN OUR NICKEL PACKAGE. He does not compete with Searcy. Searcy is still our third safety. He is like a Brad Smith of the Defense. I would have found a less obnoxious way to say it, but you're correct. Scott won't be competing for a safety slot, he'll continue to fill in at lb in the nickle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is like a Brad Smith of the Defense. Exactly! Thank You... He's also a Team Leader and a great Locker Room guy...He's going to be pretty cheap...I'd love to see him back...

Stealth Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) Bryan Scott is a good player. Not great in any one area, but far from a liability and gives us some depth at safety would be wise to re-sign a player like him Edited March 10, 2012 by Stealth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjmac Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I'm not sure what you mean. Sam Acho, was DE/LB Tweener. He could stand up in a 3-4 and put his hand down in a 4-3 front, perfect for a "hybrid defense". He won the "Academic Heisman" in 2011, He had a 4 year career at Texas. The smart, physical, senior pedigree that Nix looks for. I was banging the gong for him Sam Acho all season. He fell perfectly in our lap in the 4th round. He would have been able to take the reigns from Merriman when he went down, and with the switch back to a 4-3 he is great for a pass rushing D-End, which is what he did for the second half of the season for the Cardinals. His brother Emmanuel Acho is in the 2012 draft. I like him but not as much. He is not as much a tweener as Sam is, he is more of a LB, some project him as an ILB, but I think he still will be OLB I just don't know if he can be a DE. Just saying you can find a backup safety in the CB trash heap. Its hard to find Pass rushing talent, hence the Bills current predicament. Are you saying you wish that wouldn't have made the pick, because it is possible that having a productive pass rusher would mean the Bills might stay will Edwards and the 3-4 hybrid? I was not aware he could play DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
