dave mcbride Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Given the probable impending retirement of Aaron Williams (a very good safety), the bills cannot continue to trot out a secondary with one good player (gilmore), one solid one (graham), and a fleet of practice squad-level players. Since the rams game, it has been seven games and no one has intercepted a pass except gilmore (2 against an aj green-less cincy). That is HORRIBLE. This secondary is just awful. Carr's receivers had 5 drops today which makes the performance look better than it is, but honestly, they stink. They cannot cover, and Darby has been a terrible disappointment (although to be fair he was eaten alive late in 2015 after a strong start).

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Nope. Get secondary in FA and draft OFFENSE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Vet safety - not a rookie, if Rex is here Nope. Get secondary in FA and draft OFFENSE 100% agree. First two nights should see a RT, WR and QB... maybe a TE.... If a defensive star falls, sure, but I don't like the rookie safety in Rex's scheme being the right move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 "Draft/sign" is inclusive of FA. Spend money or picks to get guys who can play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Gilmore is gone and Aaron Williams will retire. Corey Graham was never supposed to be a starter and Darby was a one hit wonder. Maybe Rob can bring in some more guys from New Orleans where they allowed 700 yards passing a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against good teams you gotta be able to cover. Otherwise you're advocating being the atlanta falcons / saints.

Even so I think it's a distinction I'd like to point out. In acquiring him, I'd rather find a heady vet that is the right fit even if more pricey over an freakish athlete rookie assuming Rex stays. If it's that important a role and we've seen mental over physical succeed in it - let's get the most athletic rocket scientist we can find with some starting experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise you're advocating being the atlanta falcons / saints.You also need a QB you know the most important position on the field? How are the Raiders and their bad defense 10-2.

NoSaint Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 You also need a QB you know the most important position on the field? You also need to not make every post have qb or TT in them.

BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 With Rex he needs all 1st to 3 rounders on defense then uses his schemes to win. Three of our first 4 picks will be defense as usual with Rex at the expense of the offense as he has done do his whole career . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine either way at RT-- but think you can add a real quality one day 2 of the draft so it's not as pressing at FA as some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Revis in his prime, every other DB playing under Rex has been called terrible at one point or another in their careers. That can't be a coincidence. By the time he was set to leave the Jets, they were calling them the worst CBs in the NFL. When he left, the defense was strong the very next year.
