Beyond Gailey replacing AVP/Schonert, Wood, Levitre, and Meredith won't be rookies, Hangartner won't have to cover for their mistakes, the LT, even if it's Wang, won't be a backup for almost the entire off- and pre-season, only becoming a starter just days before the season starts, and Lynch won't be coming off a suspension while Spiller will add a lot of excitement. Nelson will ideally be better in his 2nd season. Like last year, they still don't have a proven QB. While on the downside, they lost TO. Hopefully one of the younger guys can be a surprise, and hopefully the offensive line avoids the load of injuries it suffered last year.
-
As of now, the draft will still be held. I figure that could change.
-
Opinion or fact?
Opinion. The Bills didn't want Tebow. They hoodwinked Schefter (and apparently several Bills fans) into believing they liked him. I mean, how much did you hear about Spiller, Troup, Carrington, Easley, etc. from the boys before they were picked?
-
Ex-Steeler coaches. Makes sense.
That's the only way it makes sense. The Cards are back to being cellar dwellers after losing Warner, Boldin, and Dansby, and $2.5M isn't a lot of money for a guy like him.
-
Apparently this PD believed the telephone game being played WRT Lynch. And the Bills were offered Seattle's 2-4th rounders and passed, as they rightfully should have. So much for "taking anything for him."
-
I really do think they were targeting Tebow.
First off, Buddy Nix said that the player was taken when they wanted to move up, and that could mean they wanted Baltimore's pick and Denver beat them to it.
2nd, Ralph said that Baltimore 'panicked' Translation: Ralph and the Bills offered a lower package to the Ravens to move up to get Tebow, Ralph threw a hissy fit, and spat off about the Broncos.
Dan Williams was STILL on the board at this point, so it cannot be him since Nix said the player was taken.
It wasn't Tebow.
-
Gaither seems like the type to mail it in once he gets the big money deal. That's probably why the Ravens haven't locked-him into a long term deal yet.
-
Doesn't matter---CG is going to be HC, OC and, of course, DC.
You must be thinking of Belichick. The Patriots truly have no DC or OC, at least in name.
-
Exactly.
Come now. You've got to give us more than that.
-
Thank you. Someone gets what I'm saying. And if you think this through, just about every team can make this claim.
Yes they could. That doesn't mean however that the player wouldn't have been there, since the other teams might not have had that player ranked that high.
-
I thought he meant the Bills had the guys they drafted rated higher than where they picked them. Not that other teams had them rated higher.
-
I'd be absolutely shocked if the Bills' system is too complicated for him. Have you seen who our defensive coordinator is?
Who?
-
The questions are whether his decline was scheme-related, age-related, or complacency-related.
-
Sad. Just sad.
-
The pass defense was 2nd in yards allowed, which by itself means little since if teams chose to run mostly, they'd pass less and that would lead to less passing yards. However the Bills were also 2nd in pass yards per play, which is the most important stat, tied for 2nd in TD passes allowed, and 3rd in opposing QB completion percentage and INT's. IOW the pass defense was for real.
-
No, our small school prospects were overlooked by bigger schools and had to establish themselves nationally to be drafted...not establish themselves with playing time...THEY WERE PLAYERS OF THE YEAR IN THIER SMALL SCHOOLS AND DOMINATED THE COMPETITION...
Bingo.
The Easley pick is a little scary to me...however, he did run 4.4 and he's like 6'3'' or whatever....big and fast is good, but it's a risk...we'll see what happens thereEasley was a walk-on who didn't get a chance to play much until the 6th game of his senior season. But those last 9 games were impressive. He played well against the Pats' 1st round pick (Devin McCourty) and the Rams' 3rd round pick (Jerome Murphy). And besides his 6'3" and 210-215# size and 4.4 speed, he is an excellent blocker, having had to learn to do it while the offense was centered around former Husky and current Colt RB Donald Brown.
-
Troup is 6'3" and according to Nix is already at 320#, and since his weight is mostly in his lower half, he can add another 15-20#. Besides that, he's strong, doing 34 reps of 225#, has long arms, and is a 3-down/4 quarters player. I could give a rip where the "experts" thought he'd go, and given the run on DT's in the 2nd, it's doubtful he would have even made it to the 3rd.
-
The main problems with Campbell are durability and experience questions...He only Started 17 Games at Maryland...He was on everyone's radar before the Combine, but most felt he should have stayed in school...He's not over-hyped, every Scouting Report points out he needs a lot of work...He does have some ability...He is a proto-type LT from a size, speed, strength standpoint...He can handle the speed rush and at times he's an excellent run Blocker...
Campbell went exactly where he should...He's a Project but his upside is HUGE...He's got to get stronger in his legs...He's a bit of a stiff at times...But a ton of his problems are simply because he has not played enough...How many LT's can you take in the 4th round that have legit All Pro capabilities with 2-3 years of developement?...That's assuming he checks out medically of coarse...
Campbell is no where near as bad as some Folks are making him out to be...He just needs work and reps...But anyone who works that hard at getting in that kind of shape, and has THAT kind of natural athletic ability should get the benefit of a hell of a lot of doubt if you ask me...
Of coarse no one did...
You are correct, but what I also heard is that Campbell either doesn't have the work ethic or desire to put in the work needed to get to where he could be. Hence the reason so many teams passed him, and several times.
-
Cool, Vanek's in!
-
Oh, I do. As with the OP--I wasn't familiar with this guy's work when he posted. No doubt tou will claim to have known all about him---having watched a ton of Tulane...oops, I mean Troy games.
Nope, didn't know about him until the OP mentioned him. Because he wasn't a highly-touted prospect/top-5 at this position, unlike JP back in 2004. It's not hard to know about the Leinarts and Clausens.
-
He'll go to the Jets.
-
Time will tell if this years draft turns out to be a good one, but the change in philosophy is clearly evident and in my opinion the direction much more coordinated and planned out. Nix and Gailey being on the same page has allot to do with it I'm sure and the fact that we made zero effort to bring Tebow to Buffalo right or wrong tells me our new GM refuses to be manipulated into doing something he doesn't want to do regardless of what other people may think or want.
Nix/Gailey are like a breath of fresh air...
Was anyone manipulating Nix and Gailey into bringing Tebow here? If anything, they manipulated the media into believing the Bills were hot after him, possibly even tricking the Broncos into trading-up to take him.
-
But I thought people could tell by his body language at the draft that he hated Buffalo?
Yeah, that was dumb.

Jackson average 4.2 YPC with 8 in the box. But you need to think outside the box.
No they weren't.
