rpcolosi Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) Listen, lets use some common sense. If the Pittsburgh Pirates, a place where absolutely NO free agent goes, can compete for the division and have a winning record, there is no reason the Bills can't.... I'm just saying. Poz is a ILB who cant cover and Florence is a CB who was flagged constantly for PI (esp in the red zone) last year. Now, if we can't re-sign steve johnson, kyle williams, etc. then yes, I will start to freak out. Thats right, we can't have anyone freaking out, out there!

OldTimer1960 Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 The worst defense in the league just got worse with the loss of Poz. Why would anyone be upset with that? I try to be optimistic, but this team doesn't seem to want to win. They now have ZERO starting-caliber NFL LBs on a defense that needs 4. I am as hopeful as anyone that Kelvin Shepard can show that he is a starting NFL LB, but the reality is that he is a rookie who hasn't had ANY offseason coaching or NFL strength and conditioning. The LBs as of today are: Akin Ayodele (are you kidding?), Andra Davis (ugh), Shepard, Kelsay (out of position and not quick enough), and some 5th and 6th round wanna-bes in Moats, Batten and White. MAYBE one or more of the young guys will show that they have some talent, but that isn't a bet I'd want to make right now. Compounding the lack of talent at LB is the DL. I think Dareus was a great pick, Kyle Williams is a good player and I have hope that Torrell Troup will be better in year two (he supposedly worked very hard at gettting bigger and stronger) - BUT nobody could confuse this group with a dominant DL (at least not at this point).
akm0404 Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 The Buffalo Bill way: lose any player that any other team would actually take, and find another whole to plug with a third-tier free agent castaway or 6th rounder from Podunk U.

The Pirates are having their first winning season in 18 years!! I feel better now that you provided that common sense.
