BigDingus Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 So I saw this question on Twitter & thought I'd ask it here just for fun. What 3 players from 2000-2017 era of no playoffs would you guys choose to replace a current roster member with? Also, which specific known starters would you replace with them? ********** 1. Takeo Spikes, LB - He normally played ILB, but I'd replace Milano as I'd prefer to see him & Edmunds on the field together. But if it came down to it, I'd take him over Edmunds too. 2. Ruben Brown, LG - He sometimes was called "overrated" by fans, but the guy made 8x Pro Bowls & 4x 2nd team All Pro on the Bills. He made the playoffs, but he played for us until signing with the Bears in 2004. I'd replace Ryan Bates & hope Saffold can play RG 😁 3. Marshawn Lynch, RB - There's a lot of good picks for RB, but I think having a really powerful, hard to tackle back that can get those tough yards would be best. I know the conventional wisdom would suggest someone good at catching the ball & be a dual receiving threat, but I think Lynch would kill it in this setup. The field is so spread out, he'd have a field day, and Josh would be the additional running threat if plays break down. Plus, there are just those short yardage situations you'd prefer to have Lynch over a QB sneak or a more shifty guy like Shady. ********** Anyway, I really wanted to put Kyle Williams on the list, or an underrated guy like Terrance McGee who was a strong CB & ST guy (CB in particular has some nice candidates), but these are the 3 I'd love to take most. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPL Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) I'd probably go all defense and say: London Fletcher - replace Edmunds or Milano Aaron Schobel - replace Epenesa or Basham Nate Clements - Put him across from White while Elam learns Larry Centers could be interesting... he caught 80 passes in 2001 as a FB!

billsfanmiamioh Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Id add Terence McGee to a couple already brought up since he could return kicks as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Mario Williams, Takeo Spikes, and Nate Clements. We would have an all time great defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Kyle Orton as our backup QB. Stevie Johnson in front of everyone else after Diggs and Davis at WR. Clements at CB 2 just bc of the Brady hit. 🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make Mine Moorman! Brian Moorman, P - better than every punter in camp including the god and he made other special plays besides punting. Ruben Brown, LG - he continued playing well in Chicago. Eric Wood, C - better than any center last few years. Can I choose a coach? Rusty Jones, damn best conditioning coach in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 This is a good question to entertain us when not much is going on. Narrowing it down to three is hard. Gilmore. It's a passing league and we have one premier - but hurt - CB. Giving him a partner would make this defense incredibly stout. Schobel. It would be a shame to take away snaps from the youngsters but I'm not yet confident any of them will be a good bookend for Miller. Jackson. Freddy could block, catch and run. It kills me not to include Kyle. I'm in the camp that thought Ruben Brown was overrated but I'd love to have him now. I'd love Jason Peters even more. Eric Moulds would thrive - if he stayed healthy - in this offense. Beast Mode would be interesting because it would put defenses in a quandary: how do you stop a team that can throw it anywhere on the field but also has a power running game? I'm not sure about the LBs mentioned because we now play a 4-2 Nickel that's designed to stop the pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember Marv talking highly of him, but don't remember much else honestly. And even though some of these guys made the playoffs at some point, I'd include anyone who was stuck on those Bills teams at any point during the drought. Very few guys started & finished their careers in Buffalo during that point, Kyle Williams & Aaron Schobel being the most noteworthy & relevant (I think).
