That is going to be the garing problem all off season, and it isn't going to be better and I don't think Ubrick (Sp?) can be any better, even after development. If nix is smart, he will try and trade for one or get somebody else in there. Green is going to lose this team close games. And personally, I would have liked a couple more free agents on a decent level like the davis and edwards signings, and I would have liked at least one of them to have been a OLB... just because this team was that bad. I don't think Nix made all the best moves, but I like this (so far) better than the Levy choices. Signing edwards and davis as modest free agents is so much better than signing dockery and walker to mega contracts. But I don't think Nix can wait and fix RT in the offseason. He needs to do something right now. Even if that means throwing wang in there or trading for someone. Because if Green loses games for us, then that is all on Nix.

Signed a Davis to be the signal caller for the 3-4 defense, someone with plenty of 3-4 experience and and excellent at stopping the run signed Dwan Edwards, one of the "big name" free agents and has 3-4 experience on a WINNING TEAM. The only reason he was overlooked was due to health concerns, and so far, he looks damn healthy. Drafted a playmaker that can make an impact right away. People were complaining that this team had no impact players that can make big plays that are game changing. People say we don't need another RB, but we did need another WR and spiller will also has been a recieving threat, so yes he does fill a huge need that we needed. This team needed playmakers like crazy. Drafted a NT, the most crucial part of the 3-4 defense. There are so many things he did that I like. You can argue the spiller pick I guess.... but I wouldn't have drafted an OT there. I would have drafted a defense player probably because those were the only players left there that I would have wanted. Not to mention, One of the things that sucked most about us last year was we couldn't stop the run.... well, we drafted our NT, signed davis and edwards, who all are supposed to be good against the run.... and damn it, we fought that wildcat on sunday like we never did before. It is too early to tell, but it looks like Nix has taken care of the run defense in just 1 offseason. If he can get OLBs in the next offseason to provide more pressure, then this defense is going to be dominant. All in all, I think Nix has made this team better. People are so focused at LT and QB, but I would rather have him fix the run defense and draft playmakers than drafting a mike williams or aaron maybin. Take the best player on the board. And if for some reason Bell is able to work at LT (which is looking more possible after this game), then that means we really only need a RT (and maybe center) which isn't as difficult to find for the oline. people can say our LT is the worst in the league all they want, but the truth is, the cowboys (a superbowl contender!) have it waaaaay worse than us at LT. In fact, their whole line might be worse than ours. And that is saying something, I know.

This. And they are going to run into the same problem when they face the phins who have a good dline that can't stop the run. The run is the only thing the jests have on offense. If you stop that, they aren't going to move the ball.

he is suspended for the 1st four games for being naughty.

Cromartie is making a lot of good plays for them and jason taylor as well....

Their D is strong AND fast. Their D is just very physical and our offense isn't.

This is a much different jets team than last year.

Well, RT shouldn't be too hard to replace. It isn't as hard as LT at least. If bell develops this season, we might not even need an LT. That is still a big if though. We could use a new center, but that isn't as bad as RT. And we already have our guards.... so the line needs help, but it is just one offseason away from being stable, if Nix handles it right. QB... I don't think this regime would throw a rookie into the fire his first season. These guys seem old school. If they draft a QB early (and gawd I hope so), they will probably re-sign edwards or sign a vet QB to play while they work the rookie in. Ideally, I would think 1st pick in the draft QB, 2nd pick RT and get LB help in free agency. And of course, improve anything and everything else that you can such as C, LT, TE, etc.

Dansby was a little too high priced for what I would expect for them to go after. But I think they really should have made at least 2 more signings on a decent level, at least. And by decent level, I mean players like Davis and Edwards who aren't great, but upgrades over what we had. Just two more signings like that would show more life on this team. Taking just two of our bad players off the field won't win us the playoffs, but the team would sure have more hope.

And I think he is on the practice squad as well.

I was thinking that too.

What do you mean when you say "plan?" are you saying signing green is a plan? That is not a plan. That is what we call.... a signing. Green was meant as a stop gap player to begin with because of his age. That is not a plan. That is a temperary player and that is it. If that is a plan to you, then you don't know what a plan is. Yeah, Nix made a mistake thinking Green would work as a stop gap player. OH- !@#$IN- No! Nix also brought in Edwards and Davis who are doing great with our defense as FA. So yeah, nix isn't 100% good. But he isn't 100% bad as you suggest. Especially with a pickup like green that was never meant to be a long term solution to begin with.

Most of those FA re-signed before FA even started....

He should have made that throw to mcclain easy. I am not sure if he panicked or what, but that was just a terrible throw.

Jenkins is out with knee injury for the rest of this game. Not sure how bad it is though. He might not be there when they play us though.

Yeah, we will shore up Interceptions on Sanchez. And since we fought off the wildcat pretty well, I am thinking we can hold them at the run for the most part. But CJ and Edwards are going to be bruised and beaten by the end of that game.

yeah, they are going to tear us apart.

He admitted nothing like that. In fact, he praised himself with Wood and Levitre and says he has good expectations for Bell. And he says you can't fix the entire team in one offseason. Him implying that Green isn't working doesn't mean his Oline is a complete failure. It means Green sucks, he knows it, and he is going to fix it.

I would rather get a new center and keep wood at guard, personally.

That is what I am thinking. If we haven't made the playoffs by the start of year four, people are going to lose it. It took us ten years to get this far... another 8 isn't going to fly. Next season they should at least be a contender and the year after that they should at least make the playoffs.

he needs development. But I don't think he is an answer at RT. He should be there as G/C depth, which we really need as well. If they can somehow get a new RT during the season (or get wang to be a decent RT), that would be great.

he said they were the top three interior linemen in that draft. Huge difference.

I have to admit, after watching the video, that last question at the end speaks volumes. Someone in general says bills fans have suffered, are hungry for a win, and are tired of medioracy, and all he asks is that Nix remembers that. So many fans (even myself at times) feel that the front office doesn't care about winning. It kind of breaks your heart seeing someone imply that to our GM, because that is something that pretty much the message that every fan would want to say to the front office, if they could. Even when he said that to nix, he sounded desperate like any other bills fan would. what is wrong with old and southern?

I really like Nix a lot, and I am hoping the best for gailey. But I have a lot of faith in Nix. I just wish he was our GM 5 years ago.

Can someone link me to the correct video. Nowhere in that video does trent edwards say he thinks anything is funny.
