JPS Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Hmmm....Jets are releasing Bart Scott....maybe he comes to Buffalo to help our kids out? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKnG06-oYcg Stick a fork in Bart Scott. Maybe Calvin Pace. I dunno. But I hear Bart Scott was not so good last year.
Dibs Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) I know....exciting. I can see quite a few players let go based on these hires: they are bringing in new blood at the top levels of the organization. That has to convert to new players on the field. What players are you thinking of? Edited January 9, 2013 by Dibs
RkFast Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Stick a fork in Bart Scott. Maybe Calvin Pace. I dunno. But I hear Bart Scott was not so good last year. Bart Scott is a loudmouth, a cancer and not even very good. PASS.
Charles Romes Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Fantastic hire. Great coach, angry Rex, insight into both the Jets and Patriots offense (who he would have to game plan against as Jets DC). Thanks for spelling that out for me. It is early in the morning and I am ramping up slowly.
nucci Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 What players are you thinking of? I'm guessing Kelsay and possibly Barnett.
JPS Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) I can guess what the response will be, but can Torrell Troupe be dusted off to play over the nose or are we starting from scratch? It may change our draft strategy to get the D-line right. I dunno if Kyle Williams is a fit for that style defense. I would guess Kelsay and Kyle Moore are a bad fits. Man, we need a lot of LBs.

Troupe has a bad back. Not sure if he will ever be healthy enough to play.
Dibs Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 I'm guessing Kelsay and possibly Barnett. An old backup DE & an old retread LB.....both possibly gone regardless of who the new DC was going to be.
Heitz Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Love that he's familiar with not on the Jets, but also Brady and the Pats and the Fins. No need for him to "learn the division" he just needs to figure out how to get our guys to CRUSH their guys!

The Senator Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Gilmore couldnt hold Revis' jock. . Link? Petine hired per Mort tweet . 19 and 0 baby!!!!!
NoSaint Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Nobody knows about 3-4, 4-3 or 46. Best part is that Pettine has coached variations of them all (see Jets of recent years). Not to mention Mario was seemingly adjusting very well in Wade's 3-4 in Houston. Enjoy the fact that we got a coach who will scheme based on his personnel and not spend the season trying to ram a square peg in a round hole. the only worry with mario is he very much left the 34 and left looking exclusively at pretty basic 43 teams and allegedly went far enough to demand which side hed line up on. only one guy, and he has rolled with changes before but it is something to keep an eye on
RkFast Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 . Link? Explain how Im supposed to link an opinion.
zow2 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Like this because a) he's a good coach with proven good defenses...and B) the hire supposedly pisses off Rex Ryan (assuming Rex wan't blowing smoke about not wanting him to go to Buffalo). Anyway- go Bills. Liking this offseason so far,

Anyone have a solid opinion on Kyle Williams & the predicted new D style? A couple of FA LBs perhaps?
Kelly the Dog Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Love this hire. It was surely and obviously Marrone's most important hire. I like the fact they were aggressive and probably had to offer him a decent amount considering his hometown team has an opening for DC, too. I was underwhelmed by the Hackett idea but this is awesome, and takes a lot of the worry away if we know we are in good hands on defense and Marrone/Hackett on offense shouldn't be bad (knowing Marrone won't be calling plays and will oversee all three phases). We're going to be aggressive, and play multiple fronts, and use a lot of different guys. I love this hire.
johnnywo Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 and Rex is pisssssedd off....I love it... http://blogs.buffalonews.com/press-coverage/2013/01/rex-ryan-wishes-mike-pettine-all-the-best-unless-he-goes-to-buffalo.html
Dibs Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 and Rex is pisssssedd off....I love it... http://blogs.buffalo...to-buffalo.html Am I out of line or way off base in thinking that perhaps Pettine does not particularly like Rex? I'm likely wrong.....but reading between the lines....
plenzmd1 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 the only worry with mario is he very much left the 34 and left looking exclusively at pretty basic 43 teams and allegedly went far enough to demand which side hed line up on. only one guy, and he has rolled with changes before but it is something to keep an eye on Lets just say for sake of argument the rest of Bills players did not exactly take to mario last year and thought he always got his way/special treatment etc. Best way to set a new tone/culture might be to say "Mario, I know you want to end in a 4-3, but we be a playing a 3-4 (with variations) and that is just the way is going to be". Buy you instant credibility with rest of team or am i watching to many sports movies?
TheLynchTrain Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) I went and checked out the Gang Green site - they're opinions are ranging from good riddance to anger as to why someone would pick the bills over the jets. They also have an interesting take (apparently from Mike Francesca) that Pettine was the "rat" that leaked a bunch of negative stories to Manish Mehta at ESPN New York Daily News. Either way, Manish is also saying that the Jets DB coach is coming with Pettine...also that a bunch of Jets players (Pace, Smith, DeVito) may follow Gang Green: http://forums.thegan...?t=76444&page=3 Mehta Twitter: https://twitter.com/MMehtaNYDN Manish Mehta @MMehtaNYDN Mike Pettine to be Bills' d-coordinator, per source. Jets' asst DBs coach Jim O'Neil set to join him in Buffalo. Story: http://nydn.us/WtglYI Manish Mehta @MMehtaNYDN Don't be surprised if DL Mike DeVito, OLB Calvin Pace and S Eric Smith are Buffalo Bills next season. #nyj Edited January 9, 2013 by TheLynchTrain
