billybob Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Q. Were you outraged by Willis having 2 out of wedlock children and undergoing a paternity test for a third. A. I have a limited amount of Outrage and usually save it for government officials and corporate criminals. Q. Did McGahee’s comments about Buffalo make you angry. A. If I cared about what stupid people think I’d be in a bad mood all the time so no. Q. If you don’t care about that what do you care about. A. If Willis held out, If Willis was a locker room distraction, If Willis dogged it on the field. Q. But none of those things would be in McGahee’s best interest to do. A. People Don’t always do what’s in their best interest and Willis is not the brightest bulb on the tree. Q. Would you cut Willis. A. No Q. Would you trade Willis. A. Only if the situation was right. Q. What would be the right situation. A. We acquire someone who we think is a better RB than McGahee and can trade McGahee for something of value. Q. For example. A. Getting Marshawn Lynch in the first round and getting value in the draft or a player in exchange for McGahee. Q. You think Lynch is better than McGahee so how many more rushing yards do you think Lynch gets compared to McGahee. A. I think Willis in a good year is about a 1200 yd back I think Lynch is a about a 1200 yd back. Q. Umm that the same, why do you think Lynch is better. A. Lynch will have a better yards per carry, Lynch has better hands and can run a pass route, Lynch can operate from a spread formation and doesn’t need a lead blocking fullback to be successful. Q. what do you have against FBs A. Nothing against the old time FB who use to block , run short yardage, and catch passes, but the FB who blocks like a third guard , and catches passes like a third guard and gets as many carries as a guard seems like a waste of an offensive position to me. Q. So with Lynch you’d use an extra TE or a slot WR most of the time. A. Exactly Picture sets with Royal and another TE like a Daniel Graham ,Zach Miller or one of our good slot receivers.- I’m thinking a 2 TE base set and then replacing Royal with a slot receiver on third and long. Q. Is there any other benefits from changing the Bills base personal sets A. with another TE and a RB who can make tough catches over the middle Bills have more options in their #2 WR Q. so this isn’t about hating Willis or thinking Willis sucks - it’s about giving the QB more options and putting the offense more in Losman’s hands.

A. Exactly. Yep, I couldn't agree more. I think Willis is good, but it is often WHEN you gain the yards that matters most. A CLUTCH player. A big game player. I haven't seen Willis really play exceptional in the "Clutch". I don't know how good LYNCH is in the clutch, but the footage I have seen of him catching the ball made me think of Thurman Thomas (I'm not saying he will be TT, but he runs well inside, and can catch the ball real well). I think back to the way the Bills would drive down the field in the last 2 minutes of a game, with short passes to Thurman, I can't picture Willis doing that.
