We dont want "fat run stopping guys" in our supposid Tampa 2 defense....

 

But the idea of trading for McFarland was real and had Tampa not been asking for so much we probably would have grabbed him.....

 

SOOOOOO......ligher quicker DT's but interest in McFarland?

 

Inconsistant.....

TB's defensive coordinator, Marty Kiffin, is a gem.

Well actually he is only 300 lbs and is more of a pass rusher in the Warren Sapp mold whom he replaced but he would be the biggest DT on the Colts roster. For the money, 2nd rnd draft pick and his production the past 3 seasons I wouldn't add him to the Bills roster. But tell you the truth I wish to the minimum had kept Adams or added a Grady Jackson in the offseason. for since we rotate DT' anyway, why not keep a fat body in their on running downs or goaline; they can't be worse than Anderson! Ideally I wish we still had Phat Pat but that is another topic...

Never mind the little fact that booger played for the buccs, you know, the buccs from tampa who revolutionized the Tampa-2 defense, that we currently employ?

 

Booger is listed at 300 btw. He's probably a bit bigger, but hes still a prototypical good cover-2/tampa-2 DT.

Not inconsistent. Booger fits the mold we're looking for. Not sad we didn't get him.

The media here in Cincy have finally stopped their love fest about Sam being a run stopper. His quick move off the snap dried up in their 2 defeats...

When Dick was HC of Chicago, and their D was one of the best in the league, he had Keith Traylor and Ted Washington as his tackles.

What production have we gotten out of 2nd rd picks anyways? We usually trade them off. We currently have Kelsay, Parrish, Reed and traded off Henry. SO compare McFarland to those guys.

Posted
I'm just curious about it because Tampa didn't receive to much in return for the trade.

Other than off-loading a $$$$$ contract for a 30+ year-old DT who will only get worse with age?

Yeah but if he was in a rotation such as the obe we used versus him being in 95% of the snaps he'd to the very minimal be serviceable, especially when motivated to play hard to get more snaps. He would be btter than Anderson anyday!

But his salary was alittle too high for his production and if he doesn't restructure then you will have an overpaid player. Or if he is cut then you're out of a player and a pick. I'll pass on him for he is not the true run plugger that we need and besides we are rebuilding this year and not in contention; let's just wait until the draft or free agency to get possibly a better and/or cheaper option at DT.

No? The Colts only got a 2nd and a 5th for trading away Marshall Faulk in his prime.

 

I think that because the Bills give so many away and select duds as of late, many Bills Fans don't understand how vital draft picks are in terms of building a good football team.

Now, couple in the fact that Ralph has less money to sign UFAs than a huge majority of the NFL owners, and the draft is even more important.

 

Levy has already shown a tendency to hand over picks to other football teams, and even refuse much needed extra picks when offered them via trade.

This time he did the right thing imo. I would rather have the 2nd round pick (which will probably be an early one).

They read KzooMike's posts

 

Kidding aside it probably has more to do with McFarland coming from the Cover 2. I don't expect us to change the approach much.

OK, I take it back. Everything has been looking great in terms of our recent drafts.
