Buffalo Barbarian Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I loved how Landry beat the snot out of the Bills in game 1 last year. I was frowned upon for suggesting we need some of that on our team. agreed, everyone whined about his "illegal hit" on Fred but it was clean albeit a devastating hit. Bring on the Muscle Hammer!!!

Jaysports36 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 so whats the thinking here? the Bills let Byrd test the market like he has said he wants to and get Landry? so they can franchise Andy? I could deal with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrobot Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Reading between the lines, that's a great list of qualities Pettine might be looking for in the draft: Sounds like RD1 Ogletree-Jarvis Jones-Mingo-Vaccaro-Milliner; RD2 Te'O (if he lasts)-Xavier Rhodes-Sylvester Williams; RD3 Logan Ryan CB late rounds: James Morris ILB man-cover skills versatile toughness great range excellent blitzer sub-4.4 great range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missthe kgun Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Gees guys. Based on Pettine's flavor in safeties I'd have to say he prefers 4-3 linebackers at safety. That sure doesn't bode will for Byrd. He does not like the box and he does not play physical. Byrd is a playmaker...Period!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I think they might want Landry and a front 7 player like Calvin Pace to bring in some players that know the system and can contribute to it. I wouldn't be opposed to bringing in Landry but I don't see safety as a pressing need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I dont care much for the statements by Pettine intelligent as they sound. as graham reported them Smith sucks alot. Landry has something to offer but is he the starter or a package player? And then money becomes an issue. Scott NO NO NO I wont believe any of the hype about bringing in Jets players to accelerate the learning curve. thats bs and wasteful. I hope we dont use stopgaps and let's let Searcy and Byrd do their thing this year up. If D searcy cant swing it we shall prove that out. but i hope we go elsewhere for Linebackers. One in FA (my pick anthony spencer if we can get to him ) and a draft or two. i can see a first or third coming on board at either inside or outside. Only Jet i could tolerate would be devito. jeebus i am already nervous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 True. However, there is a difference in stripping the ball and physically jacking up the ball carrier. Pettine prefers that receivers have a certain doubt about going over the middle for fear of getting knocked cold. Byrd doesn't frighten too many receivers. I think I know what you're alluding to Doc, but there's another offensive player involved in a pass attempt and Byrd FRIGHTENS QB's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsrcursed Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 so whats the thinking here? the Bills let Byrd test the market like he has said he wants to and get Landry? so they can franchise Andy? I could deal with that 2 different positions. And Byrd isn't going anywhere this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Landry is similar to reed and polamalu? And my arm is better than Tom Brady's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 A blog post the day before by Tim Graham also had this historical tidbit: When Rex Ryan left the Baltimore Ravens to become head coach of the New York Jets in 2009 and Mike Pettine came along as defensive coordinator, a significant part of their master plan was to sign former Raven defenders who could communicate the system to their new teammates. The top two targets were linebacker Bart Scott and safety Jim Leonhard, who speak the same language Ryan and Pettine do. Scott and Leonhard made the on-field calls and explained the adjustments. The Jets' defense thrived right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 There's no question that Pettine is gonna bring in one or more of his former players to help install the defense, even if that player/players is only a stop gap. Interestingly Jim Leon-hard played last year in Denver on a one-year contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronc24 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I got the impression that the Jets locker room was more toxic than most. I don't know how that reflects on Pettine, but I'm not assuming that any of these guys are interested in Buffalo or vice versa. I thought we hired Pettine, not Rex? There's no doubt who drove that dog and pony show into the ground.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no doubt who drove that dog and pony show into the ground.... And actually it wasn't all on Rex. Deposed GM Mike Tannenbaum was the driving force behind the Tebow trade and also the Hard Knocks decision. Putting he and Rex together was like treating glycerol with nitric acid. I would bet that Pettine had zero to do with the Florham Park Circus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDD Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Laron Landry will be a Bill; I'd almost guarantee it. And as much as I hated him for the hit on FJax last year, I'd welcome him with open arms. Haven't we seen enough strong safties that suck in pass coverage here?
