scribo Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 There are a good number of second- and third-tier guys in our critical needs positions. But filling the lines with those types won't get you into the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lv-Bills Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Anything good left for Marv to sign. 630985[/snapback] Not sure. Does the NFL have a senior NFL league like in Golf? SNFL or something like that? Cuz if they do, most of the guys who are left might be opting to play there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I've jumped on the Vince Manuwai train. Check out another thread I posted his info in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I'll say it...again. B'gals RFA G/OT Scott Kooistra. 717K tender and a 7th round penalty. You can MF the B'gals club till the cows come home, but for some reason, they are astute judges of OL talent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike32282 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Okay, after looking at those players, I'd be thrilled if the Bills ended up with RT Jon Runyan, G Derrick Dockery and C Seth McKinney for the Offensive Line. For the defensive line, Defensive Tackles Russell Davis and Ron Edwards. And then add Joseph Jefferson at Safety. That would make this a pretty good offseason.

Lofton80 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I suspect Marv is attempting to follow the Belechek/Pioli model with the emphasis on hard working, character players. I took this off the Patriots board as they are flipping out over all the players they are losing. I think Mike32282 is close to what Marv is attempting to do. PATRIOTS OFFSEASON SURVIVAL GUIDE (One man's opinion) The recipe that has worked for the Patriots for the past several years....DOES not usually offer us, the "patriot" fan much excitement in the days of free agency....or the draft. This you MUST get used to. Do NOT expect many "star studded", or big name free agency signings for huge cash....from the Belichick led Patriots. DO expect a few LATE signings of FA players who's names you do not quickly recognize, that get signed for average/league minimum money. YOU may not know their names.....but odds are Belichick and Pioli....HAVE BEEN WATCHING them all year.....they may do well here....or they may be a bust.....but they are very low risk financially for the most part. During this time of year....EXPECT to watch the talking heads on ESPN/other Sports stations.....briefly talk about the FA moves by the Patriots, scratch their heads, look at each other blankly.....and then move on to the next team.....that just signed a "HUGE, BIG NAME star" to their roster for 100 million over 4 years....... DO not EXPECT to read anything in the newspapers or free agency/rumor websites about possible trades or aquisitions by the Patriots......IF you don't expect this.....you won't be disappointed everyday....when every other team has "moves" listed......and the Pats column is blank....... DO I AGREE with every player move he has made......OF course not.........BUT I have gotten used to the Belichick style and method in terms of the FA and draft process......and quite often......you have to just sit back, wait, and watch......

Because everyone seems to forget the Pats went out and got Corey Dillon, Rodney Harrison, Brandon Gorin, Richard Seymour, Rosey Colvin, among others did they not? I'm sure there are more. Matter of fact, I'd bet my ass on it, but I'm not a Pats fan, so I don't know the particulars. However, these were all established studs when they were acquired. And if I'm not mistaken, Dillon and Harrison were both "whiners" with their previous teams. So, my only question is.....when do we go out and do that too?

Lofton80 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Seymour was drafted, they went out and got Vrabel, Brian Cox, Antowain Smith, Marc Edwards and others the first year they one. They did add Harrison, Colvin(FA) and Dillon (trade). point was they don't make big early splash in FA ala Snyder and survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
