So the Bills just posted this on Facebook. Rumor had it that he was in Baltimore. Guess not.

actually, the rumor earlier today was that he was in Buffalo but some Baltimore beat writer said he was in Baltimore.

If you go on buffalobills.com chris brown posted a picture of Anderson outside the same restaurant Williams was at. Either Wanny is in love with that restaurant or there really aren't any fancy restaurants in Buffalo.

There aren't. Lots of great food, but little in the way if fancy places.

 

If Anderson wants to show the Pats they made a mistake, no better place than to sign with the Bills.

As long as we don't break the bank for this guy I'm all for it. I don't think there's any doubt that Anderson has the skill set and size to be a pass rushing specialist. But I really don't like the numbers he has put up in seasons other than lat year and his rookie year.

This is a strange development for sure. Nix said he was done with FA, obviously that was a smokescreen. I also find it odd that he would fill a spot that we already addressed. Yes, he would be a major improvement over Kelsay, but I would think WLB is more of a priority. Whatever, I like it. At the least it adds some depth for our pass rush.

 

WLB is Barnett's spot, and he is a great fit for it....Wanstauche's d is all about the front 4...lb's need to be good, don't need to be pro bowlers

Sorry, meant strong side. Not a huge fan of the idea of Kirk Morrison there.

Bills would be loaded on the defensive line. Get it done OBD....please.

 

Didn't read through this whole thread, but it seems NE, Bal, Tenn, and Mia are all interested. Don't let him out of the building again!

 

Also, I would've liked to see Wimbley brought in, but can't question Buddy or Stache in what they want for this D. Anderson will come much cheaper, so give him an offer he can't refuse.

 

Where Does Kelsay go if we sign this guy?

#Bills need depth on d-line to field a #Giants-style NASCAR rush in new 4-3 defense. Anderson, Kelsay, Carrington, Williams fit the bill

I think we've seen an interesting point made. I don't think anyone here would contend that we have an elite LB or CB corps. Oh Barnett was a steal and I'm happy to have him, but the D-line seems to be the place where we are trying to minmax everything. The general idea seems to be that if we pressure the line enough, our opponents are going to have to pull TE's or WR's to block for their pass schemes, which reduces the pressure on our CB and LB corps and stops people from running straight up the middle like they did last year.

 

If they can pull this off, using K. Williams and Dareus in the middle with backup from Carrington with M. Williams and a rotation of Kelsay, Anderson and Merriman I think we can have quite a defensive front.

We have a winner!!!

 

Wannstache used the DL rotation philosophy very successfully back when he was DC for the Cowboys....It works when you have both talent and depth à la 90's Cowboys' and recent Giants' teams

 

Ha. After the first Cowboys spanking, Levy became a disciple of the rotating DL theory. So they went out and signed Odell Haggins. Nice job. Too bad it took them 7 years to realize that no matter what kind of rotation you have, Jeff Wright was not the guy for the nose in a 3-4.

 

So, again kids. It's not a scheme if you don't have the horses to run it.

don't sell the linebackers and secondary short. There is some real talent there.
