dave mcbride Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writ...sive/index.html Tackles Pat Williams, Vikings, and Richard Seymour, Patriots. I did not see one game in which Williams, playing the nose, did not destroy the center that faced him. He also showed great ball awareness. And stamina. In sum: I have never seen a nose man have the year that he did. Seymour, who plays end in the base defense and moves inside when they go to a four-man rush, which is often, started out playing at the highest level of his career. Then he got hurt. He came back slowly and reached his earlier level around November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Fine with me. Hopefully he nets the Bills the first comp pick in the draft, at the end of the 3rd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm holding out hope for PW, because I can see Jennings being cancelled out by Gandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 No one knows how they determine compensation for sure, but consider this: Phat Pat and Jennings vs. Fat Bennie, Gandy, and Holcomb. 16 starts + (I think) 2 starts vs. 15, 16, and 8 starts... wouldn't be surprised if it's a wash, hope not. Last year we lost Winfield + IIRC Dave Moore, picked up Villareal + Vincent, and got nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Have we been compensated yet for Will Wilford? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_wag Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 what a waste -- pat williams should still be a bill, blowing up interior lines and adding positive locker room chemistry....... and the funny thing is after the numerous posts defending TD for not paying the man last year due to the fact "he'll never see the end of his contract", we now have numerous posts declaring that grady jackson should be targetted by the bills to fill the hole that big pat left in the defense -- the same grady jackson who isn't any younger and wants the same type of deal big pat got!! oh, the irony!!

We should get some sort of compensation because the amount of the contracts signed by JJ and PW is part of the equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Pat Williams and Ruben should still be Bills. Oh well, times change and luckily the old Bills philosophy will be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Seriously, we have never been compensated for Will Wilford, even though they kept saying that was coming for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Good thing we got rid of him. We might still have a top level defense if we didn't and we might not have as high of a draft pick this year in which we'll probably take.......a DT. See it all comes together nicely. Fuggers.
