BobChalmers Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 What is really exciting about this - it's fully public that Pettine wants to escape Ryan's shadow. My take is he's going to be severely motivated to outshine his old boss.
RkFast Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Let me guess, you called Spiller a bust after his rookie season as well? Not saying he will ever be that good but to crap on a kid after his rookie year is just silly. Who is "crapping" on Gilmore? Saying he's not as good as the BEST guy at his position in the league is "crapping" on him? Edited January 9, 2013 by RkFast
TheMadCap Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Maybe we'll run a new innovative 3.5 - 3.5 - 4 base defense. . . . I'm excited! Ha! Good One! Really excited about this hire! I can't believe it, but the Bills are seriously taking a run at sucking me back in hard core after sitting on the sidelines for the last four years...
C.Biscuit97 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 True. However Gilmore I did read somewhere that Gilmore had a MUCH better first year than Revis did if that counts for anything. Disagree. You will be as good as you are your rookie year and will never improve ever. FACT.
ChevyVanMiller Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 more "confirmation": http://espn.go.com/n...d-buffalo-bills Says the Jets will hire Dennis Thurman as DC.
SDS Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Bills hired Mike Pettine as their defensive coordinator. Pettine's contract with the Jets expired after the season and they never made an effort to bring him back. Multiple reports have said he declined an extension.
C.Biscuit97 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Who is "crapping" on Gilmore? Saying he's not as good as the BEST guy at his position in the league is "crapping" on him? You dismissed him. Revis has his struggles his rookie year as well. Gilmore competes and is aggressive. I got very high hopes for him and I can see him being one of the best at his position.
Dorkington Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Just got the ESPN notification. I like the defense that the Jets run, so I'm into having him as a DC. But I'm unsure about any ideas of us switching back to a 3-4 base (if that actually happens).
Max Fischer Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Is continuity changing defenses every 2 or 3 years? That's the only reason I am annoyed. We have no idea if the Bills will switch to a 3-4.
RkFast Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 You dismissed him. Revis has his struggles his rookie year as well. Gilmore competes and is aggressive. I got very high hopes for him and I can see him being one of the best at his position. Well, then you misread what I meant. Its the Internets. It happens.
SDS Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Who is "crapping" on Gilmore? Saying he's not as good as the BEST guy at his position in the league is "crapping" on him? Your choice of words was fairly derogatory.
Marv's Neighbor Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Is continuity changing defenses every 2 or 3 years? That's the only reason I am annoyed. Despite what Buddy says, for the past 13 seasons we've had a bit too much "continuity!"
Saint Doug Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Just because it hasn't been said yet: It's on like a MOFO!
truth on hold Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) A Ryan? Coy and Subtle? What planet you on ? Ryan never seems to stop playing head games. The more he stressed he didn't want him to go to bills the more one would think that would encourage bills to hire him. Or he could have been sending a message to jets owners we need to do a better job retaining coaches or this will happen. or he could have known it was inevitable anyway. I just hope the guy really is exceptionally good and it wasn't Rex trying to bait us into someone he wasn't that impressed with. Edited January 9, 2013 by Joe_the_6_pack
bananathumb Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Does he bring pressure? take chances? Is he the opposite of Wannstedt?
Heels20X6 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Hmmm....Jets are releasing Bart Scott....maybe he comes to Buffalo to help our kids out?
