So the suggestion is that we'd be better without Spikes, than with him, and him potentially having character flaws?

 

I'm sick of character being the determining factor on if we keep a player. I'll take a couple bad apples as long as the team wins games. Tired of this BS.

You've got a flexible d-line with ok depth. You'll have flexible OLB's and surprisingly decent depth. You have a safety that can play corner, a guy who covers the slot well and you just brought in a guy that just might challenge for a starting CB spot who is at worst depth.

 

I think the defense will be ok.

 

<edit>did I really say that I think the defense will be ok?</edit>

 

right - and i dont mean we dont have a good unit, but although youve called me on it a few times this offseason i think it points to a certain style of defense.

 

the schwartz hire pointed to 43 basic nonblitzing get the pressure with the front 4 scheme, and then the LB coach hire fit that same, now the rivers signing and spikes possibility points towards that same style --- i dont love the style but know it can be successful with the right talent, and we certainly have talent

He's been hanging around with his mentor, Jerry "The Bag of the D" Sullivan too much.

I swear he has to put a negative spin on every Bills related story

Schwartz coaches his players to play dirty and nasty.

I like dirty and nasty IF it leads to more wins.

 

I'd love to see Wilfork and Dareus take turns stomping on Brady's head and ankles. Like Suh did in the past.

I'd love to see Spikes eye gouge Geno Smith while he is down, like Spikes did in the past.

 

With a win that would make my day! Kick them when they're down and step on their package while you're at it!

 

Why would you not want your defense to be feared?

 

Much better than the keystone cops defense we usually put out there.

What is the negative spin here? Simply curious to hear your point.

 

It appears that a guy in tune w/ the situation in NE is skeptical over his character. I think it's a valid concern. I think there's a lot of posters here that really want Spikes but if they had any reservation about him it would have to do with his character IMO. And that he's slow.

OMG just shut up Graham.... Look how well making strong efforts to keep all "goodie two shoes" players has done for the Bills over the past 10 + years. Smerlas is NOT the guy you want to take advice from any way. 10 years of his radio show and putting his foot in his mouth constantly have shown that.

hilarious. they were probably exchanging theories on the missing Malaysian plane.

I love all the comments like "I don't know if I want Spikes. He's excellent against the run but a liability in the passing game."

 

Our atrocious run defense is nearly as responsible as poor QB play in terms of losing games. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Spikes is better than who we have at MLB currently (Kiko is OLB now). Screw the character talk. Screw the "slow" talk. He's an improvement.

No problem.

 

Its obvious that most of the Bills fans are pumped ab out this move (if you search Brandon Spikes on Twitter you can see all the excited fan tweets) and my issue is that Tim Graham, as always focuses on the negative side of this news thus happering the level of excitement for Bills fans.
