mrags Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 One of my favorite episodes! doesnt this seriously seem like it? I love it. We're getting some crazy, fast, loud guys. Guys that normal people can't stand and get annoyed by. I can just imagine Brady walking off the field after getting smacked around. Ripping his chin strap off all pissed. Looking at Hoodie with a glaze over his eyes because he doesn't know what the hell is going on.
NoSaint Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 LOL well put ! The kid is fast he's got some weight seems to be getting smart and he is focused. Rockinon i think the Lions cornered that market. heres my question guys .. Once Williams gets acclimated (sp) and becomes a Bill how does Pettine line these guys up? Second Q. Does this affect Byrd ? If it's me i really want to play defense for the Bills I know Pettine has no problem putting 3 safeties on the field. If Silva can play.... good fun pick. be fun to watch the kids progress as with Kooko edit. i meant Kiko This is a lot of depth/special teams. No effect on Byrd. Might challenge searcy some, and sub packages.
3rdand12 Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 This is a lot of depth/special teams. No effect on Byrd. Might challenge searcy some, and sub packages. So we feel secure about Byrd signing ?
NoSaint Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 So we feel secure about Byrd signing ? No but I don't think a 4th rounder changes it even slightly.
3rdand12 Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) No but I don't think a 4th rounder changes it even slightly. you are cold man sir.Searcy will be given starter responsibilties and i am not super comfortable with that yet. I would like to think Willams will be getting on field in packages rather quickly . We do not know about A williams switcharoo by any means. I think they picked the youngster to play and delighted his image allowed him to drop Edited April 27, 2013 by 3rdand12
Hapless Bills Fan Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Mayock said he woulda gone higher if not for the off the field stuff, whatever that was. Seems like we're infusing the defense with attitude Sounds like issues were mostly underage drinking and hanging in bad company as a freshman. Reportedly turned it around by his senior year. Traffic violation last year. Doesn't sound like a giant red flag at this time. From the film clip, great- almost unbelievable - closing speed and judgement on angles. Tendency to get the legs rather than wrap up mid-body; that works in college and he'll have to learn those tackles will get broken more often than not at the NFL level. He clearly relishes the hit. Reminded me a bit of Leonard Smith on some of those plays. That guy was Nasteee.
mrags Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 I was just thinking about this: Is there any way that maybe they think they can move this kid to CB? Maybe Nickle corner, lining up against a TE, RB or slot WR?
NoSaint Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 you are cold man sir. Searcy will be given starter responsibilties and i am not super comfortable with that yet.

I think they picked the youngster to play and delighted his image allowed him to drop I don't think this changes the equation on Byrd though. Either they think he's a top 2-3 safety or they don't. I don't think a midround rookie changes that evaluation. If he's elite you keep him, if not don't pay him like it. This kid, as much as we like him is only 50-50 to ever be a starter yet alone a good one.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 I guess, another small school hopeful, this draft is gona be as good as Nix's first one. Aperently we don't like Syracuse players either Shamarko Thomas was there and better

akm0404 Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Perhaps this draft confirms what we probably knew all along: Syracuse was a pretty mediocre football team with pretty mediocre players in a pretty mediocre conference.
hondo in seattle Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) i love that as an organization the bills are finally moving past the whole marv levy CHARACTER organizational philosophy and actually trying to draft good football players instead of model citizens now Levy made it clear he was talking about "football character." He wanted guys who would show up on practice on time, work out in the off-season, support their teammates, be accountable, study film, be loyal to the team, etc. He never said he wanted choir boys. As far as Williams is concerned, I read he was arrested once for underage drinking, once for driving with a suspended license, and another time for a drunken incident when he burglarized someone. The first two sound like "boys will be boys" kind of things. The last one is more problematic but they say he's been trouble-free the past couple years. Edited April 27, 2013 by hondo in seattle
K-9 Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 I still don't get why being drunk or bad at school makes you a better defender. Ill take a guy doing charity work and a beast on the field without thinking twice. Problem is we've been spotty at on field evaluation. Hopefully that is what changes, as its all that matters. Is it time drag out my patented "football character" speech? Again? GO BILLS!!!
NoSaint Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Is it time drag out my patented "football character" speech? Again? GO BILLS!!! Yup. Should be pinned. Guys around here still don't get it.

This kid, as much as we like him is only 50-50 to ever be a starter yet alone a good one. Fair enough .I think they think he is. it's about the budget. If they drafted Vaccaro? Jairus might feel some pressure to make the decision . I can only hope Byrd is starting to feel Bills are taking the future of the W-L column very seriously and have something he can get behind. I will consider the Williams pick a sign of that. It appears that change of culture has occured recently Meeks. just drafted another safety hmmm Edited April 27, 2013 by 3rdand12
TaskerTough Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Marrone seems like the type of guy who revels in the opportunity to mold, shape and inspire. He's picked up a ton of clay in this draft.

Great talent that love to play football the right way but could use some help learning to access their fullest potential seems to be a theme.
