Webster Guy Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Bruce Smith (okay so he hasn't played in 12 years and he's a slim 235 now, but I wanna chant Bruuuuuuuce just one more time) And for my number 2 I'll take the Honey Badger (we need some FUN players out there people) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimp 2 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Bingo. Two offensive guys that change the equation - both command doubles and the TE gives run/pass flexibility. Suddenly you are playing 11-9 and still have spiller Stevie and another skill player (I'd be half tempted to argue an extra lineman with the numbers game so stacked. A MLB doesn't change the equation even though its a huge weakness. Pass rusher, lockdown corner or playmaker that commands a double team- hopefully with everyone healthy out pass rush suffices. I say go offense. Who's jj replace? Or ware? Does it matter they're both better than what we have, IMO. I'd line Ware up in his standard blind side position. If its JJ he'd play the LDE & I'd move Mario to the blind side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both those guys are in a 34 front currently so I was curious how people are picturing them in this - would watt replace dareus at 43dt, or Anderson at 43 de or would it be carrington in a 34 end for instance? Big differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big differences. Agreed but that would be a nice problem to have...btw I give Dareus a mulligan due to the circumstance & the sophomore jinks. Watch out for him 2013, he needs to drops some pounds and play between 305-310 (he looked considerably heavier this season) to be effective. Obviously the new DC scheme will play a factor tho...

BuffBill Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 And put them on the Bills who would they be? This is gift no payment from the Bills required. NO QB's. Names too predicable. I am interested in other positions. Currently active players only please. Clay matthews GB Vince wilfork NE Calvin Johnson & Aaron Rodgers. Discount Double Check! Imagine Calvin Johnson and A.J. Green on the Bills, with Stevie in the slot. I would easily substitute Gronkowski for Green, as others have said. That would be amazing, unless Fitz was still the QB then it wouldn't change much from what we already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Calvin Johnson Patrick Willis Aldon Smith Calvin Johnson It's so tough to pick only 2 though Both great answers. Megatron for sure. And the D player is a toss up between those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Both great answers. Megatron for sure. And the D player is a toss up between those two. Patrick Willis is obvious but where do you see aldon? Do you swap to a 34 and possibly end up with Mario and aldon at the same position? Or does Mario go to 34 end and play the smith role?

C.Biscuit97 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Revis and Willis. A lot of talent on the defense already, this would make it an elite unit. Gilmore and Revis would be as good as it gets in the league and Willis would be a leader on the defense. IF we just have a servicable offense, we would be a playoff team. I also picked Calvin Johnson but receivers don't win you championships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just going on talent and potential. Leave it up to a pro DC to figure out how to use it all If I had to pick players that would best fit the team right now, then Id pick an OLB over Willis or Smith. Although Aldon Smith is technically listed as OLB due to the 34. All of the pro bowl voting for OLB has them as Rush 34 OLBs. I know Ive asked this before, but who are the star 43 OLBs?

Lance Briggs is the only one I can think of. and I do hate how rigid coaches are. Adjust to your scheme to fit your talent and not the other way around. IMO, that is the true sign of a great coach.

dave mcbride Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) From December 16, 2012: The following quotes are from NFL scouts, coaches and front-office personnel, speaking on the condition of anonymity: • “I don’t know how badly (49ers LB Patrick) Willis is injured, but he’s not playing with the same passion and fire that he did earlier in his career. When he knows he is blocked, which is happening a lot more often than it did in the past, he is not getting to the ball. Teams are doing a better job scheming, too, and making sure they are getting a body on him. (Fellow Niners ILB) NaVorro Bowman has been much more impactful this year.” http://www.profootba...ion-in-his-play Compare Willis to Poz in 2012. There ain't much difference in productivity: http://espn.go.com/n.../paul-posluszny http://espn.go.com/n.../patrick-willis They had the same number of tackles for loss and forced fumbles. Poz had one more INT and Willis had two more passes defensed. Poz had 18 more tackles and 19 more total tackles (combined tackles and assists). Fwiw, Bowman had a lot more tackles than Willis this season: http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/13262/navorro-bowman Jason Pierre Paul, Rob Gronkowski JPP had a pretty down year in 2012: http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/13256/jason-pierre-paul Edited January 10, 2013 by dave mcbride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpleman Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Johnson and Revis. This is assuming we are picking to add to the current Bills lineup, which i guess I shouldn't assume. Edited January 10, 2013 by simpleman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnbillsbacker Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Patrick Willis and Adrian Peterson....we obviously don't need a RB, but he is so unbelievably dominant. If going by team needs (minus QB), I'd go Patrick Wiilis and AJ Green The bills actually loved Willis and Peterson the year they were drafted, but unfortunetely the Bills were better than the Vikings and 49ers the previous season. Peterson went 4 picks before the Bills pick and the 49ers drafted Willis the pick before us. The Bills are frequentely bad, but never bad enough.

They did end up with Lynch, who has turned out to be one of the better players in the entire NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
