My View On Things

[MVP]

Since the end of the 2005-2006 season there's been front office fireings / hireings here's my opinion on them.


Front Office

GM Marv Levy: Marv, your the MAN!

HC Dick Jauron: I like others wanted Sherman, but when looking at what a great teacher and person he is to his players, he's obvioulsy the better choice.

OC Steve Fairchild: Lets hope he's learned something from Martz.

DC Perry Fewell: Let's hope our new system shows some results.

Losses

DT Sam Adams: Was always a big fan, I disagreed with MM on benching him (because I don't blame Sam for being pissed at MM). Saw this move coming, he was getting old and were saving $ to go with younger talent.


TE Mark Campbell: Never anything special, we've upgraded the position since.


DT Ron Edwards: If only he was able to stay on the field......


SS Lawyer Milloy: Has lost a step (especially for our new defensive system).


WR Eric Mould: My favorite Bill growing up, would have liked him to go to a contender (like philly) but if he'd rather be with Houston good luck!


C Trey Teague: Never liked him, we've upgraded since.


T Mike Williams: Bust, and a fat piece of ****!


G Bennie Anderson: Another fat piece of ****!


Additions


SS Matt Bowen: Could help out our already stellar special teams.


WR Andre' Davis: May very well become the # 2 guy.

C Melvin Fowler: Hope he can solidify the middle of our line.

G Tutan Reyes: I like the guy, may be our best lineman next to Peters.

TE Robert Royal: Will help in the run game, could do some good things in the passing game as well.

RB Anthony Thomas: Could give us a 1-2 punch witch we haven't had in years!

DT Larry Tripplett: One of the main pieces to our new defense, our best off season aquisition.

MLB Courtney Watson: Loved him in college, can help our ST's, and can be good down the road once Fletch leaves.

2006 Draft

Round 1
A. SS Donte Whitner: I like this pick the more I look at the guy, he's a student of the game and has game breaking speed.

B. DT John McCargo: Another solid pick, could contribute early.

Round 3
CB Ashton Youboty: I would love to be able to trade Nate next year and allow Ashton to grow into another OSU stand out corner.

Round 4
FS Ko Simpson: If he allows TV to mentor him, he will be a steal in the future.

Round 5
A. DT Kyle Williams: I believe will contribute early and often

B. OT Brad Butler: Love his work ethic

Round 6
OLB Keith Ellison: Could see work on ST.

Round 7
A. OG Terrance Pennington: Solid pick.

B. C Aaron Merz: Very Smart

Projected Lineup

Offense:

Kelly Holcomb
Willis Mcgahee
Daimen Shelton
Lee Evans
Andre' Davis
Robert Royal
Mike Gandy
Tutan Reyes
Melvin Fowler
Chris Villiarial
Jason Peters

Defense:

Aaron Schobel
John McCargo
Larry Tripplett
Chris Kelsay
Takeo Spikes
London Fletcher
Angelo Crowell
Nate Clements
Terrance McGee
Troy Vincent
Donte Whitner

I have been a fan for pretty mutch all of our offseason moves, I hope we can see some results this season, I'm feeling good about our team, I got my season tickets, and now all I want to know is DO YOU BILLIEVE?

Re: My View On Things

Let me tell you something about this board right now.

You just posted what I think is a fair assessment of moves.. But the majority of the people here read ONLY what they want to read.. They will ignore everything else you said and because you listed Holcomb as the projected starter at QB, they will do nothing else but focus on that- Unfortunately.

Personally, I think you're being a little too optimistic, but you're not entirely off base (IMO anyway) and I think you make pretty good sense.

[QUOTE=MVP][OC Steve Fairchild: Lets hope he's learned something from Martz.
[QUOTE]

Let's also hope that he forgot alot from Martz. Martz was a crappy HC and I wasn't too impress how he ran the Rams offense after he became HC. It may just be me but he seemed to be pass happy and forgot all about Marshall Faulk.

Re: My View On Things

Fairchild, Jauron and Fewell all have a lot to prove- only Fairchild has success in his current position, and some people say it was more Martz than him (I don't know if it's true or not, just saying it adds an element of doubt).

Marv has made some good moves and some very questionable ones. Throw in his unorthodox draft, and I think it's a little too early to be calling him "the man". He seems to be setting us up nicely for the future, but at the expense of this season.

You rank Davis too high and forget that Holcomb can't throw the deep ball well enough to take advantage of his and Evans' speed. We also lack a possession receiver- the only one we have is Reed, who has been a bust so far.

The OL looks a little better but Villarial still sucks. I'm not a fan of Gandy either, but think he may be servicable.

You didn't mention anything about Spikes coming off his injury and how his play may be expected. Watson adds depth but don't expect him to be a huge contributor.

A lot of people are saying that McCargo and Tripplett won't be on the field at the same time. Even if they are, Tim Anderson, Sape and Jason Jefferson are going to see a lot of playing time because DT is a frequent rotation position. That's just plain scary.

Kelsay sucks.

Whitner is a rookie, so don't expect much except blown coverage, especially early in the season while he learns.

I BILLIEVE we're headed for 6-10. The DT's alone will blow at least 4 games.

Good realistic approach all in all but I do have a question....

Do you think we're legitimately only a DT away from a 10-6 playoff team?

Going by what you said, that seems to be what you're implying.

ha, good point. I was kind of exaggerating to make the point that we still need DT's.

If we had two starting caliber DT's last year, the run D would have been much better and we may have remained in the playoff hunt until late in the year, but you're right- one DT won't make that much difference.

So you want a losing team? Holcomb starting = losing.

Soooooo let me get this straight, you don't like Holcomb? I'm not quite sure, need clarification.

[patmoran2006]

Re: My View On Things

Crunk.. For the short term the Bills would probably win more games if Holcomb started this year.. Trust me, dont pay attention to him and ESPECIALLY dont try to understand his logic.

Its the Ice-way or the high-way as far as the Bills are concerned.
