7boogiewoogie Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 People suggest this all the time. Sorry, but he just ISN'T a 4-3 LB. His "speed" is relative, decent speed (had) for a DE, not for a 4-3 LB. Especially because Wanny's system doesn't blitz. He is either a 3-4 strong LB, or a 4-3 DE (very similar). Oh yeah, he has never played 4-3 LB either... Regardless of past positional play I'm sure he can contain better than anyone we have at linebacker but you are right Wanny doesn't bring his linebacker's in often enough to blitz. One of the main reason's his defensive coaching style has become so vanilla and predictable. I would just like to see it for my own eyes because i sure as hell don't trust the judgement of our coaching staff

boyst Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) Merriman does not have to be a DE. He does not have to be a LB, either. I did not watch Sunday. Merriman can be hands up DE stacked beside or behind a DT. We showed some stunts last week, with Merriman maybe we can do the same. I want to see us do some fun things. I want to use this guy up, get every drop we can. As PTR pointed out, this is my 7,000 post. This means 7,000 times I have shared valuable knowledge and insight to the world. You are all welcome Edited October 15, 2012 by jboyst62
qdawg in philly Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 The great thing is that he's been out of the league for a few months and I'm sure he was hitting the "JUICE" pretty hard. So maybe he'll be a wrecking ball for the remainder of the season until the juice wears off or his legs. Whichever comes first. OMG!! CAN WE GIVE IT A REST??
Best Player Available Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Any word on how long/how much $? How long? Until Anderson is healthy would be about right. In fact That might be too long. No one has interest in him other than the Bills.
Santana Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 I love the move, the more talent the better!! GO BILLS!!!
FigPatrick Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) Give me a freakin' break...not this again. Already being viewed as the "savior" of the Buffalo Bills for the second time. Give it a rest. Merriman was a free agent for 7 weeks and had 1 tryout? Do you think he was waiting for the "perfect opportunity"? There is a reason why he was not signed. He already said Buffalo was not the right fit, yet he is back. Hmmm, do yourselves a favor and dont put an ounce of faith in this signing. Most of you have been doing it for years, a washed up, 27 year old, injury prone, steroid juice-head that has not been productive in 5 years.

FigPatrick Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 You signed up today just to share your nuggets of wisdom with us. Gee, thanks. PTR You seem like a bunch of suckers to me then. "Happy to have him back" you say? Why? So he can do absolutely nothing in a Buffalo uniform for another year? You do realize he was good back in 2006 and 2007 correct? You also realize he was not playing for the Buffalo Bills during those years? Wow, seems like you NEED some fresh insight around here.

FigPatrick Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Thanks for bringing us fresh insight here to the most successful and longest running Bills message board. Real cool to call us suckers, too. Bro fist! Message Board? Sounds more like a therapy session for some of you. Must be a pretty long session at that since the Bills have been terrible for over a decade. A few of you get it at least. Must be tough to filter all the "rha-rha" stuff out and get down to the posts that make sense. How many people here know how the NFL works? When a player is cut because he has been oft injured over the past 5 years, he does not fit your scheme and has had little to no interest from any other NFL team I would not consider that a victory. The true value was seeing Moore on the field this past Sunday and see him play pretty well. He at least has a career ahead of him vs. one that has been shut down 5 years ago. I actually wish Merriman well, but to be "excited" about this is exactly what the Bills want you to feel as they know that can pull the wool over your eyes yet again.

folz Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Buffalo is installing the "Flickering Lights D": Lights Out, Lights On, Lights Out, Lights On. As long as it's as successful as wax on, wax off, wax on, wax off was...then me and Mr. Myagi will be happy. I can just see Merriman standing in crane position, all focused, waiting for the snap. Anyhow, I'm glad he's back...my expectations for what he will add on the field aren't as high as when he first came obviously, but I agree with others, he might be just what this defensive locker-room needs. And if he produces on the field, all the better.
