26CornerBlitz Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 7 things we learned about the Bills personnel plans from the NFL Owners Meetings At the NFL Annual Meeting in Boca Raton, Florida this week, both Bills GM Doug Whaley and Head Coach Rex Ryan provided an update on the Bills plans – what they’ve managed to do so far, even with serious salary cap constraints, and what they hope to do in the draft next month. 3. THIRD-YEAR LB PRESTON BROWN WILL GET SOME EXTRA ATTENTION Buffalo’s third-round pick two years ago has played in every game in his first two seasons in the league. Now, the Bills are ready to get more out of Preston Brown At the owners’ meetings, Ryan was asked if Brown made significant progress on the field through the course of last season when it came to being the quarterback of the Buffalo defense. “Well no, not really, I think he needs to step up,” Ryan answered. “We handed that off to Manny Lawson, but Preston [brown] to me that, you know that is going to be a challenge. We are going to put a pretty good coach with him to make sure that goes the way we want it to.” Ryan was asked which coach will work with Brown. His answer: “We will find out, you guys know who it is.” That means Rex’s brother, Rob Ryan, will work with Preston Brown as one of his “special projects.” Message received!

KDIGGZ Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Is Preston Brown going to magically find an athleticism that's he's never had ever? Otherwise we are in trouble. Our LB situation is currently the worst in the NFL. Absolutely my biggest complaint about this team at the moment. Bigger than RT, bigger than WR2, bigger than QB. We have no NFL starter quality MLB's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) @TyDunne Preston Brown has a plan in 2016: "I need to take charge." The #Bills ILB opens up... http://bills.buffalonews.com/2016/03/24/bills-ilb-preston-brown-has-a-plan-in-2016-i-need-to-take-charge/ Very pleased to read this article by Dunne. I think i am on record that Brown will step into his role this year and be successful. If i have not allow me to reiterate I am going to be watching him pre and post snap very closely I bet its not Manny.....who excelled at running this defense I am going to say Mario and Leodis Leodis wasn't on the field. KW is going to play hard no matter what. If i voted i would say it was Mario Hughes and dareus edit Bradham too Is Preston Brown going to magically find an athleticism that's he's never had ever? Otherwise we are in trouble. Our LB situation is currently the worst in the NFL. Absolutely my biggest complaint about this team at the moment. Bigger than RT, bigger than WR2, bigger than QB. We have no NFL starter quality MLB's He played very well and above his scouting reports year one as a Bill. But i agree LBs are the weakness generally speaking and they are thin outside right now. Brown will do fine. He was drafted to play where he will be lining up. Thumping Edited March 24, 2016 by 3rdand12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont lose that....you might struggle because you have to adapt to a scheme change.....but you dont change your physical attributes. The problems that Preston has have nothing to do with physical ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I am almost certain I heard on this forum that poor wittle Pweston Bwown was emasculated in public, unnecessarily, by Rex Ryan, and this would have a disastrous impact on an impressionable young player. Sounds like it was exactly the message Preston needed to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problems that Preston has have nothing to do with physical ability Because we had two very good, very athletic DE's lined up wide, forcing outside runs to take longer angles.

Hmm seems as a whole we always want players to be accountable for their performance. Preston does just that and now you want him to shut up and play.

Preston does just that and now you want him to shut up and play. Then be accountable on the field. Don't come at us later and say "next time, I'm going to try harder". That's not they do it at my job. No one cares what you talk about regarding your own performance. It speaks for itself. Isn't that how it works at your job?

Sure co-workers, peers, and management don't need to hear excuses of pasts performance or lack there of. Preston works in front of millions of fans and is critiqued by many in the public eye, he has plenty of reason to communicate and accept responsibility where it lies. When people start wearing a jersey with my name on the back il start addressing my failures publicly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When people start wearing a jersey with my name on the back il start addressing my failures publicly. My point is that there is no need to. It doesn't change the past and has no impact on future performance. How about just show how your game has improved and let everyone notice and comment on it?

The Big Cat Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 See my explanation above... Yeah. Exactly. Nothing like the heroes who spend their time on a message board in March, the height of whose intelligence and rhetorical clout relies on "not until I see for myself." IT'S MARCH.

BuffaloHokie13 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Sounds like the bills know who their MLB is gonna be Time to concentrate on a OLB/Edge Rusher Still need an ILB that can handle coverage while Preston does the play calling and run thumping.
