eventualchamps Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 We need a dominant defensive end and a kicker. I think these are the Bills most glaring weaknesses. Any opinions?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIZ Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Mike Hollis or Rob Bironas (Pittsburgh pre-season kicker). Give Ritzmann a try at DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest_BillsRebound_* Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Lindell should be given 1 or 2 more games. As far as DE's go, I thought Schobel, Kelsay and even Denny played nice games. They didn't get any sacks but got consistent pressure on Leftwich all game. The problem with our pass rush and what prevents it from being dominant is that our tackles are strictly run-stoppers and don't get any good rushes at the QB.

He wasnt any good last year and the beat goes on .I have seen highschool kickers better than this guy.Having a good or bad in this case affects the coackes decisions on game day :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guesteroo Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 We need a dominant defensive end and a kicker. I think these are the Bills most glaring weaknesses. Any opinions?? 28804[/snapback] Coming in to this season, I feared that our terrible kicker was going to cost us a few close games. He sure hasn't wasted any time. He will cost us a couple more close ones down the line as well. But, hey TD thought he was worth big bucks as far as kickers go. And TD doesn't think we need to spend a high pick on a defensive end, or sign a good DE in free-agency. But, as everyone always says on this board "TD isn't out on the field playing" . . . What a cop out. TD is responsible for building this team. If the "honeymoon is long since over". . . maybe it's time for a divorce. Year 4 of TD is going to be almost as bad as year one (3-13).

Stussy109 Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Lindell is terrible, I dont care what anyone says. He is comparable to an above-average college kicker. He is the weakest link of this team. For a team who constantly plays tight ball games, it's worth spending a million plus on a GOOD kicker. I wish we had kept Hollis around who was clutch. Lindell must have mental/confidence problems, because at this level you should not perform as bad as he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelsay round 2...Denney Round 2....I guess you only get talent in the first round....why even bother with the rest of the draft after round 1...LoL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamboni Man Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Lindell sucks plain and simple. At this point I think just about anybody outside of Jake Arians would be an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckner's Glove Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 What do you think, dominant DEs grow on trees? How many teams in today's NFL have a game-breaking DE on the roster? The Patsies don't and they've won 2 of 3 SBs. We have 3 good-very good DEs and a Bruce Smith type player isn't likely to fall into our laps any time soon. Lindell isn't good, but at least his kickoffs are deeper than they were last year. This team led all game - right up till the last play. We got screwed in typical Bills fasion. Maybe this will use up some bad karma and we won't see another wide right/forward lateral anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIZ Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Didn't I read somewhere that Lindell has large feet for a kicker, which causes accuracy problems? Hollis didn't have much of a leg, but if we were in his range, he was automatic. Kinda like Gary Anderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebraskan 4 Bills Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Kelsay played well, and so did Schobel. Our defensive ends are fine. Our def. tackles, on the other hand, are fat and out of shape. Beyond their run stopping, they do little to put pressure on the QB and help the DEs.

ExWNYer Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Didn't I read somewhere that Lindell has large feet for a kicker, which causes accuracy problems? It probably doesn't cause him any problems with the ladies. BTW, he's................not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
