Who can the Bills least afford to lose to injury
billsfan89 replied to Saxum's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I would say Sammy. If Orton gets hurt EJ could step in, not sure if Mike Williams and Robert Woods would really be able to step up in the absence of Sammy. -
The O-line is pretty weak at guard. But Orton holding onto the ball might be inflating sack totals. Granted he is getting pressured and knocked around, but Orton isn't that mobile and he likes to hold onto the ball. Those things all are going to lead to sacks. But I am hoping that Urbik helps the LG position going forward and maybe at RG we can get Cyrus to help out. Once Urbik and Cyrus get their chance there, there really isn't anything else on the roster they can go to.

Orton is OK, might have to stick with him for a couple of seasons unless they go back to EJ. If you go with Orton you better pony up big money for Dareus and Huges as you are going to need to have a dam good defense.

Kansas City; What's going to happen?
billsfan89 replied to Clippers of Nfl's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Bills defense matches up well against them (Able to stop the run). The Bills offense on the other hand doesn't matchup well against their defense. Overall its a weird match-up. Should be a defensive struggle where the team that turns it over least will win. I like the Bills chances but its not a slam dunk. -
Should EJ have taken some downs on Sunday?
billsfan89 replied to BillAndPhilFan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The last drive or two of a blowout yeah he should get the snaps. But I guess getting Orton who has only been with the team a couple of months some snaps still has some purpose. -
I think you could survive Searcy and Spikes. Dareus will be franchised. So Hughes is the big time guy you would need to work on an extension.
-
Even if you have to shell out 25 million for Dareus and Hughes its worth it. Mario and Kyle are older players their big contracts will either be restructured or off the books in the next year or two. Keep the young guys there and use the dead money to cover you on the cap to cover the costs and in order to upgrade other positions of need (Guard, Tightend, WR, and corner) find the money with cuts to other guys on the roster and draft choices (Mike Williams would be a good place to start).
-
Mike Williams has zero guaranteed money due to him next year. So in the likely even Williams gets cut (Only way he stays on the team is if he takes a restructured deal which I don't think he will do and I don't think the team wants him anyway) the team will clear his full salary with no cap penalty. Not sure about Stevie but I thought that his bonus was tied up in this year.
-
I think Dareus is just a notch below. Probably get on the low end 9 million a year and on the high end 12 million a year. Also get a good chunk guaranteed. Hughes will likely get 6-8 million a year too. The front office should use the dead money that Fitz and Mark Anderson are taking up this year to take care of those guys. Maybe Mario restructures his deal (Probably won't take less money but maybe he just makes his deal more cap friendly) to give the Bills some more cap room

When Kiko comes back, what's your plan for our LBs?
billsfan89 replied to JÂy RÛßeÒ's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Spikes might not get resigned, although if he was willing to be a running down specialist I could see him coming back for a modest amount. So Brown and Brandham stay in their roles while Kiko takes the other OLB spot. As hard as it would be to let Spikes go I would think getting Dareus a long term extension along with resigning Hughes would be cap money better spent. Kiko if he can stay healthy would be a big addition to the defense next year. -
Seriuosly, Why Can't Coaches Challenge Penalty Calls?
billsfan89 replied to patfitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Its inherently subjective is the reason they give for it not being able to use a challenge on a penalty. -
Kraig Urbik appears to have been freed
billsfan89 replied to The Big Cat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Hopefully he can provide some competent guard play at LG. Pears is very mediocre but at least he seems to be an on field coach for Henderson. Hopefully Cyrus can try and take on RG later in the year as he gets some more time practicing at guard. Even if Urbik could just be what he was a couple of years ago that would be a huge upgrade. -
The Bills have the best Dline in the league
billsfan89 replied to TheBillsWillRiseAgain's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Wounder how much better this defense would be if Kiko was out there? But then again injuries do happen and this team has been fairly healthy over the course of the year. So a major injury to a starter is always likely to happen. -
CJ hasn't produced on the field but he seems to have always been a true professional in his tenure here. The guy just goes out there and does his job, doesn't seem to have too much of an ego.

Translative property says a smack down is coming
billsfan89 replied to Jimmy Spagnola's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The game was on Thursday that kid of puts enough of a question mark on the game to discount it as a referendum on either team. -
Brown and Dixon should be interesting to see. Freddie out 4 weeks and Spiller out those guys should be hungry to get the opportunity. Probably going to try and put in a claim on Brown in fantasy.
-
If you could get the guy for a 6th or 7th I would take it. For a 5th maybe but not higher than that. Spiller is likely gone next year, Freddie is old and toss on an injury now. Brown and Stacy could make a really good backfield next year and beyond.

Bills Working Out Kouandjio at Guard
billsfan89 replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The moment that Henderson established himself at RT they should have tried to move Cujo to guard. Its probably going to take some time to get him to get use to playing there and the playbook. But the team needs much better guard play and he has the phsyical size to maybe be at least decent there. From week 1 it was pretty obvious the team was weak at guard. So when you have a guy who is a phsyical specimin who has gotten benched at RT you need to try and get that guy at guard. -
Resign, Dareus and Hughes. Both guys should be able to fortify the D-line for the foreseeable future. I would resign Spikes if his price was reasonable too. With no number one pick the team should be very aggressive in free agency. With the cap going up a bit, turnover cap space, and Fitz money coming off the cap the team should be able to go out there and address needs at corner and guard while resigning Dareus and Hughes long term.
-
IF EJ is a bust and the only really good pieces that come out of that draft are Kiko and Woods it will be looked at as a mediocre draft. But Duke Williams, Gragg, and Goodwin could all turn their fortunes around too.
-
The jury is still out on Davis. He has been much better than he should be given where he was drafted and how he bounced around in the league. But I think he could just be another average to below average QB. He has struggled at times but being young that's to be expected. Overall I think that Davis has shown promise but the sample size is way too small. Let him play out the season and see how he does before he even gets the starting job.
-
People always forget that the defense was one of the best in the league during the years Flutie was here. Also Flutie is 5 foot 10 not really that short compared to a regular person.
-
Its too big a part of his story for them not to spend significant time on it. Flutie's best NFL years came leading the Bills to two playoff seasons. Alos his departure from Buffalo in favor of the prototypical QB Rob Johnson is too good of a story. Overall if you don't talk about Flutie's Buffalo years than you aren't doing the doc right.
