Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 One advantage is that we are basically guarantees that we're going my boy Patrick Willis. Also we are going to get younger and faster one defense. Finally we're going to get our young players who played well last year (Ellison) in a starting role. However, with every advantage there is a disadvantage. One that I see it that we are going to lost a great teacher for our players and we are goping to lose a lot of leadership on the defense. But I think that Crowell can handle being the leader on the defense seeing how he's been there the longest. I still think we have a chance to make the players with this young defense. We're faster and younger now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 I think management viewed Takeo's leadership in a negative way after he bitched about the status of Vincent when they IR'd him. They saw him as undermining the youth movement in a rebuilding year & possibly a negative force if the team decides it needs one more year of rebuilding in 2007. From the off season moves, the team is not looking at contending for the Super Bowl this year, hence it's still in rebuild mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willis is a MLB and what if a team ahead of us, the 49ers, select him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipster19 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 It doesn't have to be the Super Bowl but rebuild mode isn't acceptable either. This team needs to be in the play-offs this year as they build towards an even brighter future after. While Buffalo is purging players they will be not be idle or shy (at least I hope) in improving this roster for THIS year. I expect some big moves still ahead for us in the very near future ( draft, June 1st and/or trades, etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guarantees that he will be our first pick. If he's not there, then get Okoye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicBills Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Guarantees that he will be our first pick. If he's not there, then get Okoye. And if they're both gone ... which looks to be a very real possibility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obie_wan Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 However, with every advantage there is a disadvantage.

Lurker Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 but rebuild mode isn't acceptable either. Every team is in rebuild mode every year. Some are just more astute/lucky than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patience Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 And if they're both gone ... which looks to be a very real possibility? Poz has to be the pick there, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Guarantees that he will be our first pick. If he's not there, then get Okoye. The only guaranteed 1st pick if he's there is Adrian Peterson. I can easily see MarvModrak moving down and picking up Posluszny. Start learning how to spell his name now. Of course I'm probably wrong. It's probably Timmons they covet.

CosmicBills Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Then get Leon Hall. So then trading Spikes guarantees that the Bills draft Willis ... or Okoye ... or Hall ... or ... wait a second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're faster and younger now. Many of those who have excelled (or still think they can) make for very poor teachers. Where is it a given that Takeo would have been a great teacher? Where is it written that a "teacher" should make 4.6 Mil this year practicing the profession of enlightenment? Had Takeo not blown up his achilles......never mind, it happened and....
