Doc Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 So the Bills just posted this on Facebook. Rumor had it that he was in Baltimore. Guess not. actually, the rumor earlier today was that he was in Buffalo but some Baltimore beat writer said he was in Baltimore.

Beerball Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 for the record we did host Mark Anderson http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Bills-host-free-agent-DE-Anderson/309c6194-5c95-4fd6-ae16-2ff2adca6e01 It's real to me dammit!
PromoTheRobot Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) If you go on buffalobills.com chris brown posted a picture of Anderson outside the same restaurant Williams was at. Either Wanny is in love with that restaurant or there really aren't any fancy restaurants in Buffalo. There aren't. Lots of great food, but little in the way if fancy places. If Anderson wants to show the Pats they made a mistake, no better place than to sign with the Bills. PTR Edited March 21, 2012 by PromoTheRobot
bills1960 Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 As long as we don't break the bank for this guy I'm all for it. I don't think there's any doubt that Anderson has the skill set and size to be a pass rushing specialist. But I really don't like the numbers he has put up in seasons other than lat year and his rookie year.
mEAz Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 This is a strange development for sure. Nix said he was done with FA, obviously that was a smokescreen. I also find it odd that he would fill a spot that we already addressed. Yes, he would be a major improvement over Kelsay, but I would think WLB is more of a priority. Whatever, I like it. At the least it adds some depth for our pass rush. WLB is Barnett's spot, and he is a great fit for it....Wanstauche's d is all about the front 4...lb's need to be good, don't need to be pro bowlers
BringBackFergy Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 If this is already posted sorry, I'm not sure if this will turn out but here is a picture of Mark Anderson in Buffalo today: http://www.whosay.com/buffalobills/photos/147393 I think I see some deers in the background grazing on the fresh flower blossoms....crazy
bills1960 Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 WLB is Barnett's spot, and he is a great fit for it....Wanstauche's d is all about the front 4...lb's need to be good, don't need to be pro bowlers Sorry, meant strong side. Not a huge fan of the idea of Kirk Morrison there.
HurlyBurly51 Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Looks like they're at Tempo again, and this visit is extending into Wednesday again. Deja vu?
Stealth Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Do they serve venison at Tempo? If not there better be some deer chillin by the car when they leave Edited March 21, 2012 by Stealth
DanInUticaTampa Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Tempo should be paying the bills for all the advertising they are getting out of these visits. Also, is the tempo any good? I have never been
seq004 Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 @alexmarvez I expect #Bills to make a very strong push to sign DE Mark Anderson Would be a great complement to #MarioWilliams. Love it!!! Bills would be loaded on the defensive line. Get it done OBD....please.
1B4IDie Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Tempo is real good. There are plenty of nice restaurants in Buffalo. The Veal ribs are awesome.
HurlyBurly51 Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Bills would be loaded on the defensive line. Get it done OBD....please. Didn't read through this whole thread, but it seems NE, Bal, Tenn, and Mia are all interested. Don't let him out of the building again! Also, I would've liked to see Wimbley brought in, but can't question Buddy or Stache in what they want for this D. Anderson will come much cheaper, so give him an offer he can't refuse. Where Does Kelsay go if we sign this guy? Alex Marvez @alexmarvez #Bills need depth on d-line to field a #Giants-style NASCAR rush in new 4-3 defense. Anderson, Kelsay, Carrington, Williams fit the bill
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 I think we've seen an interesting point made. I don't think anyone here would contend that we have an elite LB or CB corps. Oh Barnett was a steal and I'm happy to have him, but the D-line seems to be the place where we are trying to minmax everything. The general idea seems to be that if we pressure the line enough, our opponents are going to have to pull TE's or WR's to block for their pass schemes, which reduces the pressure on our CB and LB corps and stops people from running straight up the middle like they did last year. If they can pull this off, using K. Williams and Dareus in the middle with backup from Carrington with M. Williams and a rotation of Kelsay, Anderson and Merriman I think we can have quite a defensive front.
wnyBacker Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 In with anderson and OUT with kelsay.....get er' done buffalo
GG Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) We have a winner!!! Wannstache used the DL rotation philosophy very successfully back when he was DC for the Cowboys....It works when you have both talent and depth à la 90's Cowboys' and recent Giants' teams Ha. After the first Cowboys spanking, Levy became a disciple of the rotating DL theory. So they went out and signed Odell Haggins. Nice job. Too bad it took them 7 years to realize that no matter what kind of rotation you have, Jeff Wright was not the guy for the nose in a 3-4. So, again kids. It's not a scheme if you don't have the horses to run it. Edited March 21, 2012 by GG
