Kipers Hair Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 I know Nate has said and done a lot of things to draw some of the harsh criticism directed at him recently, however, I would actually say that Nate is a victim of the defense being called by Gray...which he is forced to call. The thing this defense is seriously lacking is a pash rush - especially up the gut. With the same talent, our secondary was a great one last year - minus Fat Pat - they have been ex[posed. You have to pressure the QB these days or you will be picked apart - even by a Sage Rosenfels. To compensate for the lack of a natural rush, (4 linemen), Grey is living, but more recently dying by the blitz. When you have to blitz as often as the bills do - you will get scorched - no matter if it's Clements, Bailey or whoever. A great pashrush can turn a Troy Brown into a nickle back. Our lack of a natural rush is going to cost Nate Clements a couple of million - which is a shame as he is better than most of you think...and we will miss him when he leaves for more money. That said - paying Nate what he wants makes no sense unless the Bills invest in a big Tackle who can flush the Qb one way of the other and an end to compliment Schobel.... Now let's see what Modrak does with the money TD is saving for him to spend in free agency...

I did not think so... My apologies for going off topic here...

Anyway - I will be happy when we just get the off season rolling...this season is lost to me and I have TD to thank for it. The only interest I have in the NFl now is will the Colts do the inprobable and knock the undefeated record off...
