Was Cornell Green and Merriman Modrak's pick too? Any more excuses on Buddy's behalf? Buddy is clueless and stubborn. I wish a local reporter would pin him down and make him accountable for this team but Buddy would just condescendingly dismiss the notion that he has failed.
What I don't get is that there has been no emphasis on OLB's. They are THE biggest play makers in a 3-4! Look at what Mathews does for GB or what Harrison/Woodly (Lloyd,Green, Brown, Porter, Gildon before them) do in Pitt. Instead he thinks Kelsay (career underachieving LDE) and Merriman (chronically injured)should be able to play effectively and for an entire season at the most impactful position on D . When they predictably go down or suck, the Bills are so desperate for depth that they have to play Carrington and Johnson (both 300lbs) at those positions? Way to build through the draft Buddy! I know, we needed a scatback.
I wonder what Pierre Paul would look like (Please don't give me that he couldn't play in a 3-4 because every 3-4 OLB was a DE in college). Instead Buddy goes with a RB who tightens up upon contact. And then there's Troupe.... it's friggen groundhog day with this franchise. It's almost like they try to suck and Buddy's just keeping with tradition.
