KC from Cali Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Buffalo Bills Cornerback: Three of the Bills' top four corners are free agents and there is a chance they will lose at least one starter. They will try to re-sign top cover corner Nate Clements, but it may be tough to keep him in a Bills uniform. Look for the Bills' front office to replace any losses through free agency or the draft with a cover corner who has size. Defensive tackle: The Bills' defense was ranked 30th in the league and yielded an average of 141 yards per game on the ground. Buffalo will address the defensive interior, as rookie tackle John McCargo was on injured reserve all season and defensive tackle Tim Anderson may test the market. The new-look defensive philosophy is based on quickness and penetration from the defensive line, but a huge wide-body in the middle could be what Buffalo needs to shore up its run defense. Offensive tackle: The offensive line appeared to perform better after the Week 8 bye, with a shuffling of players. However, the line was still inconsistent protecting the quarterback and creating creases for Willis McGahee and Anthony Thomas. Dick Jauron's offensive philosophy is to control the ball on the ground and use an efficient passing game, which can only be accomplished with improved offensive line play. Look for the Bills to add a swing tackle with enough intelligence and strength to move inside, providing depth at guard. Wide receiver: Lee Evans finished the 2006 season with 82 receptions and played well in the absence of Eric Moulds, but the Bills could use a big presence to put pressure on opposing corners. Buffalo's top four receivers are undersized, and several taller receivers might be available in free agency or the draft. Tight end: The Buffalo offense does not often use the tight end to pressure defenses. Robert Royal did have a solid second half of the season, but is not a great route runner and has limited vertical ability. Look for the Bills to expand their passing game with the acquisition of an athletic tight end who can be used in several different positions.

ThreeBillsDrive Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I'm surprised that can even be considered insider material... That was really profound thinking about the Bills. I have to pick myself off the floor I was so impressed with the inside intelligence on our team by our beloved ESPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proteus Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Buffalo Bills Wide receiver: Lee Evans finished the 2006 season with 82 receptions and played well in the absence of Eric Moulds, Played well in the absence of Eric Moulds? What an understatement. He was one of the best WR's in the NFL and the best player on the Bills. He also got screwed out of the Pro Bowl with Andre Johnson's 100 meaningless catches.

And Moulds will enter Texans training camp at 34 years of age with declining receptions, declining yards, and declining touchdowns over the last few seasons. The Bills were right to allow his "absence" from the 2006 team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
