Kelly the Dog Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Wasn't Shady in Vegas a few nights ago too? Yup. With what looked like 25 hoes. I keed. I keed. Sort of.
thebandit27 Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Even more simple. When did Rex say it was a 3-4. I remember him saying they were going to run whatever scheme best suited our defense. We havent been a 3-4 since Edwards and that was a tire fire. We will not be a 3-4 under Rex. In a nutshell that is what I have understood. He said they'd be multiple. You're probably looking at something like this: 30 front Kyle-S. Charles-Dareus Mario-Bradham-Brown-Hughes 40 front Mario-Kyle-Dareus-Hughes Lawson-Brown-Bradham

Charles-Dareus Mario-Bradham-Brown-Hughes 40 front Mario-Kyle-Dareus-Hughes Lawson-Brown-Bradham You jusy made my point. People wanting to label this d a 3-4 when its not. I bet a lot of people dont even understand the difference between a 30 and a 3-4 or a 40 and a 4-3
Dorkington Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 You jusy made my point. People wanting to label this d a 3-4 when its not. I bet a lot of people dont even understand the difference between a 30 and a 3-4 or a 40 and a 4-3 I admittedly don't. I see a 30 as a form of 3-4, and a 40 as a form of 4-3. Or is this a 40 plays different gaps than a "standard" 4-3, thing?
Chuck Wagon Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 In my mind, our "base" defense is: Mario - Kyle - Dareus - Hughes Bradham - Brown Gilmore - Aaron Williams - Graham - McKelvin - (one of Darby / Duke / Robey / Cockrell ) I'd love to have Spikes back for the right price and right role, he'll really help on goal line and if we run into a power heavy run team.
LOVEMESOMEBILLS Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 I thought we were going to Bring Back Fergy, first. Yeah... We're just trying to fit him and Spikes under the cap.
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 I thought we were going to Bring Back Fergy, first. What kind of would suggest such an idea?
YoloinOhio Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Preston Brown @PB_Number2 15m15 minutes ago Not the same around here without @BrandonSpikes51
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Preston Brown @PB_Number2 15m15 minutes ago Not the same around here without @BrandonSpikes51 I don't think it means anything necessarily one way or the other. However, the skeptic in me sees all different angles.
YoloinOhio Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 I don't think it means anything necessarily one way or the other. However, the skeptic in me sees all different angles. Brown really looked up to Spikes last year to help him. He said in an interview he always kind of idolized him because his coach at Louisville, Charlie Strong, was Spikes DC at Florida and used to talk about Spikes all the time. He was legend to Brown. So when Brown got to Buffalo, he used to study film with Spikes and talk to him all the time about the ILB position and felt a connection because of Charlie Strong who they both love.
YoloinOhio Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Hmmmm @SalSports: The Bills are only at 89 players after NOT signing Illinois State OT Jermaine Barton. There's a 90-man limit. 1 spot now open.
John from Riverside Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Preston Brown @PB_Number2 15m15 minutes ago Not the same around here without @BrandonSpikes51 Preston......even family breaks up.....dont you watch Oprah?

And #51 is still available on the roster...seems like they would have assigned this number if Spikes was totally out of the picture.
YoloinOhio Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 And #51 is still available on the roster...seems like they would have assigned this number if Spikes was totally out of the picture.could be a spot for either him or Dawan Landry
kelsay2sackseason Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 They need him to spell brown and bradham and in run stuff situations. hes a tremendous leader too
Bob Malooga Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) Brandon Spikes was the #8 rated ILB against the run last year, the same year our run defense was much improved. It's baffling why they haven't brought him back, it's not like signing him would hurt their chance at a compensatory pick, which is a stupid idea anyways. (He's going to help more than a 6th round pick next year.) I would think he's the kind of player that Rex would love to have on his defense. He recently tweeted, "Heart in one place, mind in another," right after he visited New England...he wants to be in Buffalo, but money might be available back in New England.
