The Biggest problem is that BIlls hire some no-name dude to be their Coordinators..Jerry Gray, Perry Fewell, Edwards...all those guys have been pretty pathetic in getting a defense going. Every NFL team is not made of super stars at all places. You have to get your players to be super stars. You can't just expect your #1 pick to come and be a super star. We need to hire a good 3-4 DC who knows how to run a 3-4 and stop the run.

Well, George Edwards did call Wade Phillips last year for a few tips. Then they added Dave "The Solution" Wannstedt.

More like Tweetner.

 

 

 

 

But didn't Maycock also predict that the Bills would draft Whitner and at that time say it was a solid pick?

 

You have a point there, I do remember Mayock being the only draft expert who predicated the Whitner pick, as well.

 

The whole problem with the bills though is they are very hesitant to give guys that 2nd contract. They are constantly letting their drafted players go after their 1st contract runsd out & the problem with this is we are always trying to replace the guys with the draft. They are never going to be able to build depth with this approach. I mean look at the rb situation. We trade mcdipsh*t & we use our 1st to try to replace him with Lynch. We trade lynch & we use another 1st to try to replace him with Spiller. We let Winfield walk & try to replace him with Clements, we let Clements walk & we try to replace him with the other mcdipshit. This line of thinking if you break it down, is crazy. They are never going to win with this approach. Whitner was not the best & had his shortcoming, but he was a legit NFL safety & he could of at least been brought back to add depth. They are never going to win with an approach like this. Injuries are inevitable in the NFL, you need guys that could at least step in & contribute.

 

You make a great point -- it brought me even further back to Pat Williams and Winfield. You can also make the point that cheaping out on Hangartner has had a major impact on our ability to stay competitive down the stretch this year.

You are absolutely right on this.

As I pointed out in a different thread, Nix has "completely gutted" (quoting Why So Serious?) the Bills by elevating the depth of the Jauron years into starting positions and back filling the roster with his guys. In other words, even the Bills traditional Just Replace The Batteries approach to franchise rebuilding could be argued to be slipping, if one truly believes that the depth on the roster cannot step up and is highly suspect as Buddy Nix himself suggested.

Whither is gone and the Bills D still blows ass, in fact their pass D is worse. Not sure why folks continue to dog the guy...

Whitner will be in the playoffs, and the Bills won't. But he "was part of the problem."
