Ozymandius Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 I have a question about Terdell Sands v. Ian Scott. Everyone seems to be blowin their load to get Scott, but I don't see the fascination with him. Is it because he plays for the Bears? I know "stats don't tell everything," but look at them in comparison: Sands: TOT SOLO AST SACK INT FF 2006 41 30 11 1.0 1 0 Scott: TOT SOLO AST SACK INT FF 2006 23 16 7 0.0 0 1 Sands is 27 yo and weighs 335 lbs and Scott is 25 yo and weighs 302. Could it be that people don't think Marv will go after a wide-body (Sands) and would want someone that would fit more into the Tampa 2 (Scott)? Sands has more upside. Scott is the safer choice, plus he already is playing in the Tampa-2 system. And, as others mentioned, we're not sure the Bills would be interested in a Sands-type.
Saint Doug Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 I believe Marv will do the right thing. I don't want them trying to jam a square peg in a round hole as the Deadskins do. However, I don't think we can look at weight as the sole determining factor for DT eligibility. That is, we cannot say the Bills will pass on a guy who weighs 330 lbs, but will covet a 300 pounder. Afterall, the Bills made a big push for Pickett and he weighs 322 lbs.
