Didn't see this posted, but I like the move even more...

The veteran linebacker talked about the franchise’s tradition as well as their move to a 3-4 defensive scheme as some of the aspects that convinced him to visit the Bills, but defensive coordinator George Edwards was one of the club's best selling points having been Davis' linebackers coach in Cleveland in 2004.

 

“It was a huge factor in this decision," said Davis of Edwards being Buffalo's defensive coordinator “We had a great relationship in Cleveland and now we have the chance to do it all over again. He believes in me and I believe in him and I know we can get it done. The whole time I was in there we just kept talking about the defensive players that we have on this squad right now and with his expertise and my experience and the guys’ playmaking abilities we can definitely turn this thing around.”

 

Davis is also very familiar with Bills outside linebackers coach Bob Sanders, who coached him for three of his collegiate seasons at the University of Florida.

This is great news IMO...he is a very underrated LB and is a great addition to a weak spot on this team.

 

Thought the same thing wherever he played.

 

Kind of reminds me of London Fletcher in his intensity on the field. I've always liked Andra Davis. Glad we could get this done.

Like the signing a lot. Scratch McClain off your lists.

McClain will be a good player, but I couldn't see justifying picking him at 9, when the Bills have needs at LT and NT. Now that (drafting an ILB at 9) is no longer a concern.

I didn't know about those connections we had with our coaching staff, but now that I do I really like this signing. Good job Buddy and co. :wallbash:

I agree.

Exactly. Not worth it for the Bills at this point.

back up Mitchell & Poz, yes, replace, no. is my bet.

There isn't a LB in Buffalo that this guy stands behind on the depth chart. Either Kawika gets kicked outside into the Schobel/Maybin mix, or he backs up Davis.

Great pick-up for Buddy and Doug. Andra is a player's player.

Mitchell definitely gets kicked (back) to the outside. But whether he's back to 100% is the real question.

Coaches told him he can compete with Veek and Poz for the starting job inside...good deal...I like Poz and Davis inside and maybe Veek back outside...We need more edge guys...We should be moving for Porter...but a big ticket to add to the mix with Shobel and Maybin already making good money and being counted on for edge ability...but can they cover anyone ever?...we will have to wait and see...Davis is a stud and it's a great signing...the middle of our defense is getting stronger...we got the secondary settled...just the questions at NT though Stroud is capable...and the OLB's...

I would like to see us try and grab Spikes in the second still. Davis and Spikes on the inside with Poz and Scobel/Maybin on the outside sounds good to me! Pipe dream probably but we'd have pretty good depth too. Like I said it's a pipe dream but it would be fun to watch that tandem I think.

Reminds me of London Fletcher

 

How? He is large slower LB that relies on strength and taking direct angles. London is undersized small LB that relied on speed and runs around the blockers. Can't think of a much different type of Lb to compare him too.
