ohioandy Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 I apologize if this has been discussed before but thought that Bills vs. Jags would be a great time to renew the Poz vs. Barnett debate (more weekly debates to come). Which LB do you prefer?
Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 I think a better question would be....would you rather have Poz, or Barnett/Morrison? We got both of them for less than what JAX payed for Poz.
HeHateMe Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Well we haven't seen Barnett play a regular season game yet. We know what Poz could do so it is yet to be seen how Barnett plays on this team.
Homey D. Clown Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 I don't think too many people will doubt Barnett is a better player once the season starts. Pozluzny was a high character guy with the ability to tackle players well after initial contact, and in most cases 5-7 yards down field. that's more a testament to his ability to read a play than the weakness of the defensive front.
Huuuge Bills Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Barnett can cover a TE, and that killed us last year. I'd take Barnett easily.
Rumblinstumblin Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Barnett if he shows he can do what he did in Green Bay.
reddogblitz Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Barnett is now our man and Poz is a traitor. So Barnett.
bills-fan in arizona Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Poz has to no loyalty for a city that embraced him. Let's go Barnett!!!
bills_red Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Poz vs. Barnett Poz - younger <<< Barnett - better, cheaper only thing Poz has on Barnett is he is younger, that it it so I'd go with Nick.
NaPolian8693 Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Poz is good at the following: 1) Having bad haircuts. 2) Finally tackling running backs 10 yards downfield. 3) Being Polish. 4) Letting running backs drag him an extra few yards every time after first contact. 5) Being white. 6) Racking up misleading stats. 7) Fleecing the Jags for millions because he vaguely reminds someone of a young Jack Del Rio.
BillyBaroo Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 what is up with Penn State players being busts?! I can remember the days of DJ Dozier, Blair Thomas, and Curtis Enis!
benderbender Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 I was upset because the line being towed was that Nix is interested in "building through the draft" and when the time comes to resign a talented young player that we drafted, we (again) ship him off to another team without getting anything for him. If we have no interest in resigning our draft picks, we should at least trade them and not simply wait for their contracts to expire and wave goodbye.

No, that's a testament of a sucky ass defensive line. If the DL isn't winning the battle on the trenches, I don't care if your Ray Lewis, most of your tackles willbe downfield 5-7 yards. Not Pozs fault.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 (edited) I was upset because the line being towed was that Nix is interested in "building through the draft" and when the time comes to resign a talented young player that we drafted, we (again) ship him off to another team without getting anything for him. If we have no interest in resigning our draft picks, we should at least trade them and not simply wait for their contracts to expire and wave goodbye. If he stays around long enough we will see if chan nix re-sign their own picks. Seems to give "their guys" second chances a la merrimen, Davis, thigpen, etc. As for me I feel today, right now it is an upgrade, let's hope that materializes. In general dl improvements should result in better lb play anyway. Edited August 27, 2011 by over 20 years of fanhood
marauderswr80 Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Poz is a 4-3 guy....barnetts a 3-4 guy....go with whatever system we run

If we have no interest in resigning our draft picks, we should at least trade them and not simply wait for their contracts to expire and wave goodbye. All bets are off when it's a guy that Nix didn't draft, though. I think you'll see more of an effort to resign our productive guys from the last two draft classes as they become solid players. We have a LOT of young raw talent, particularly on D. Hopefully Wannstedt can coach these kids up and we end up with some home grown talent that sticks around for a long time.
