YoloinOhio Posted March 14, 2014 Author Posted March 14, 2014 Who is on Tempo watch?? Luke Russert's mom was spotted outside waiting for it to open this morning.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Scuttlebutt via twitter indicates that some UB med students have revealed that Spikes is in town for a physical … could just be the like the guy who saw George Seifert at the airport. But if this is true, it would be a case of Whaley creating some buzz on WGR, and then hitting us with a signing like this a few hours later. If so, Russ Brandon is truly a master puppeteer. Anyway, I like having mean guys playing linebacker for us. Kiko is not a nice guy on the field either. I will say the same about Lawson. Also, Schwartz likes coaching up mean guys who may be missing a wingnut or two. Do the Bills use UB for medical checks? I always thought they had something on site CBF
Doc Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 But he wouldn't be poking our players' eyes, he also has a beautiful dislike for the patriots right now. I can't say I want the guy, but if he plays dirty against the Pats, I can live with him.
YoloinOhio Posted March 14, 2014 Author Posted March 14, 2014 Mark Gaughan @gggaughan 10m Whaley sees Rivers as starter, Lawson as edge player. http://bills.buffalonews.com/2014/03/14/whaley-sees-rivers-starter-lawson-edge-player-schwartzs-defense/ … I can't say I want the guy, but if he plays dirty against the Pats, I can live with him. This Plus maybe the refs will get confused and not call him for holding.
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Skov is going to be a pro bowler IMO. all he does is make plays We than trade back in the first round and pick up a second. We then take Ebron, Benjamin and Moses from VA to play RT. Or if Lewan falls trade back a couple spots, take hi; TE and deep WR class to pick from in second, and pick they get.

Full story. http://ow.ly/uAFCm ProFootballTalk @ProFootballTalk 48m Bills moving Kiko Alonso outside in hopes of even more impact http://wp.me/p14QSB-9r9D

Or if Lewan falls trade back a couple spots, take hi; TE and deep WR class to pick from in second, and pick they get. IMO the Bills are not going to invest a high pick on a TE. They re-signed Chandler, they signed Moeaki, they drafted Gragg.
bobobonators Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Maybe we can merge the thread I created months ago stating that Kiko should be at OLB and that MLB was thus probably our biggest need now, only to get ripped apart by all the geniuses on this board.
MarkyMannn Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 He mentioned it will be Kiko and Rivers on the outside, and mentioned Ty Powell as someone who may play inside and that they are looking at some guys in FA. Surprised to hear Rivers on the outside cause I understood he struggled in space. Who the hell is Ty Powell?

I've already laid claim to being the first. Are you ok with second place?
BigBuff423 Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 IMO the Bills are not going to invest a high pick on a TE. They re-signed Chandler, they signed Moeaki, they drafted Gragg. I agree, I think all the FA signings have been for 2 things: OT and WR...1st and 2nd round respectively, unless they trade back, and then I could them reversing that order but still those 2 positions...especially if they sign a big, run-thumping LB - Spikes or not
bobobonators Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 I've already laid claim to being the first. Are you ok with second place? LMAO. Sure, but no lower than 2nd!

bobobonators Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 And let me edit what I said: Not everyone ripped the idea of moving Kiko to the outside, but quite a few thought it was blasphemy.
NoSaint Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 IMO the Bills are not going to invest a high pick on a TE. They re-signed Chandler, they signed Moeaki, they drafted Gragg. i wouldnt say they are terribly tied to a december signing or 7th round pick though. it indicates they liked their potential, but i dont think by itself means either is near a lock to make the 53.

K-9 Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 I've already laid claim to being the first. Are you ok with second place? I can vouch for this. We had this discussion in the shout box mid-season last year. If we were staying in a 34, I'd have no problems with Kiko staying in the middle as I believe he was made to run sideline to sideline. But the ML in the 43 fronts is a lot more physically demanding and KIko just isn't built for the additional punishment. No matter, he's gonna be on the field all the time and his ability will lend itself to WLB very well. GO BILLS!!!
papazoid Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 #9 - OT best available if one of robinson, Matthews or lewan. #41- TE Austin seferian Jenkins - can BLOCK and catch. #73- QB AJ McCarron
DreamOnDan Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 http://www.cincyjung...scouting-report Still, you can dig up internet opinion pieces that cover the entire gamut on Manny Lawson. He's an edge-rusher with zero coverage ability to a guy that really knows how to shut-down today's TEs, can play the run, and is a below-average pass rusher. The consensus is there is no consensus, sort of deal. Most likely he's just a solid, all-around Sam and there are not enough "ooh and aah" highlights in any one particular dimension to pass off too many hyperbolic claims. Seems like Lawson would be best suited to play in our nickle package next to KIKO.. Can likely be effective vs run at DE in wide 9, Hughes can come in and rush the passer and Lawson can cover the TE in Man coverage situations.. While I would not personally run the new defense, if you look at Detroits players its hard to not think Buffalo has a lot more talent to work with on defense. Right now a MLB and a DE might be the only real needs on Defense barring injury.. I am ok with Searcy and wanna give Duke Willams and Meeks a shot at reserve roles this year if I'm GM
tombstone56 Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 I would much prefer they go after Shane Skov in the third round. He is 6-2 250, Mosley smallish and injury prone. totally agree with you , spikes is the bridge till skov is ready to play , actually makes sense. ,,,, see rivers and kiko as 1-2 down olb then hughes and lawson take passing downs?
