DUFF Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Since this is the greatest time of year to be a Bills fan (when no games have been played yet, and optimism is as high as it can be)I thought it might be interesting to review the roster and see what we got. Gailey- first year with a team of unknown players and created an offense that was at least enjoyable to watch. turned what we thought was our biggest offensive weakness (recievers) and made them the strength of our team. Wannst<<- defense could literally not get any worse....he should be a real upgrade. Modrak- this is a little off topic, but I wondered what other TBDers thought about this. It's absolutely clear that the Bills have picked 1st round busts way too often the last 10 or so years, but it seems as though most of our recent Pro-bowl talent (or close to it) has come in the form of later round gems. (Stevie Johnson 7th round,Kyle Williams 5th round,Jairus Byrd 2nd round, Fred Jackson undrafted)...you get the picture....is it possible that Modrak has no say on who the Bills pick in the first round?? Fitz- Love the guy...outside of his accuracy issues at times, he is everything you want from a qb (smart, tough, not a primadonna, gun slinger, team player, could go on but you get the point.) Another year as a starter with the same sysyem and he could be great. ps- really happy to see him working out with the offense at his home. Lee Evans- not working out at Fitzies place (from what ive seen) pisses me off royally. i was a defender of Lee for many years, and he was not sooo great last year that he couldn't use the extra time to gel with his qb. Spiller- didn't produce the way a high first round should have...maybe it's just me, but everytime he touched the ball, i had a feeling that he was one mis tackle away from taking it to the house (except when he fumbled). I am convinced he'll get better and better every year. Shawn Nelson- the TE who kept having migraines (any word on that????). I still have hope for this guy if he manages to bulk up a little and learn to block he could be a force as he has wide reciever like speed. Easley- big WR who looked good in camp...could be a star Batten- didn't see much of him but they seem to like him (thoughts???) Merriman- as fans we are never satisfied. If we didn't take him we would all be complaining about how cheap we are. We take him and people still complain. If he plays anything like he used to, and Batten is as good as people say he is we could have a pretty solid LB core. PS- I think Poz is a pretty good LB too (i don't think he was the weakness on this D-acccept at covering TE's) Stevie Johnson, David Nelson- diamonds in the rough....who saw that coming??? Terrel Troup- I honestly don't focus on him when I watch games, so i'm going off of what i read on this board. Some think he has the potential to be good (thoughts on him???) Wouldn't mind seeing Kyle W. Terrell T. and Carrington (Dareus) lined up as our 3 man front. I also think Moats started coming into his own towards the end of the season, and should only get better. All in all this is a very young team, only a year old if you take into consideration the new coach, and new schemes on offense and defense...i apologize for the rant, but I am curious as to what you guys all think about this... like i said my optimism is still high right now....hopefully it lasts longer than the first two games of pre-season. Go Bills!!!! PS- you guys gotta try this Kool-Aid!!
