How our defense will look if we get Spikes and Adams

[Mr. Miyagi]

If we get Spikes and Adams, and assuming Marcus Jones and Posey pan out, this will be our lineup:

LE: Marcus Jones
LT: Sam Adams
RT: Pat Williams
RE: Aaron Schobel
SLB: Jeff Posey
MLB: London Fletcher
WLB: Takeo Spikes
LCB: Antoine Winfield
SS: Coy Wire
FS: Pierson Prioleau
RCB: Nate Clements

I'd say that's a pretty formidable defense.

GO BILLS!!!!!

I was reading about how bad Spikes trash talks and how great that would be between he and Fletcher running their mouths. I know people don't generally like arrogance but I personally think that we're lacking that "swagger". We need a little attitude. Let the boys have some fun out there this season! I guarantee it'll rub off on PW and everyone else. Who doesn't want to see these guys with sick confidence?

I would switch Schobel and Jones. Aaron played damn good late in the season from the LDE spot :)

Still need a FS

Howare the injuries of M. Jones and Spoon coming along? Anyone know?

With that line up, I see the only possible weak link being Prioleau.

Looks Great!!

now all we need is a true (FS) who's fast and can cover. Rashean Mathis would be a very nice pickup with our 2nd round pick.

He's 6'1" 202 lbs and ran a 4.47 twice in the combine he played both corner and safety in college. lifted 225 lbs 22 times which is :up: for a defensive back.

With Hotlanta's pick we could draft a super fast pass rusher, mix him in on some passing downs. Could be nice.

Pierson Prioleau is young...maybe he'll have a breakout season. this is the same board that wanted to get rid of brian moorman at the end of last season

[ct bills fan]

I think Prioleau is here to stay - he'll be helped immensely by a better front 7. Also, the Bills signed him to an extension last year, if they had intentions of replacing him, they wouldn't have doen this.

Yup, how does Corey Redding sound?
"The Texas Longhorns have been very strong on both sides of the line of scrimmage the past four seasons and Corey Redding has been a staple on the defensive side all that time. An impact end that causes a lot of disruption up the field, Redding fits into several defensive schemes at the next level." Tony Pauline-TFY Draft Preview


The Good: Athletic and explosive lineman that will be effective in a variety of defensive schemes at the next level. Plays low with leverage keeping his pads down, holds the point against blocks and redirects to the action nicely. Gets off blocks, stays in his pass rush angle and is fast off the edge moving up the field. Quick and fluid changing direction, makes plays laterally, displaying speed to the flanks in pursuit of the ball carrier. Effective dropping off the line in pass coverage and playing in space. Rarely off his feet.

The Bad: Lacks the great first step and explosion off the snap. Not big or powerful and may have a tough time adjusting to the bigger tackles at the next level.

The Skinny: Should be productive as a 4-3 defensive end or outside linebacker if stood up over tackle in a 3-4.

Projected order in the draft: Late 1st round

EXACTLY Ted!! The only guy that showed a little attitude lasy year was Clements. With so much of todays sports having a big mental aspect, an attitude can elevate anyones game to a degree. If you get a midget with a giant attitude, he will be tough. You give a guy like Ninja Williams an attitude and he is unstoppable. This defence was missing that last year. T-K-O Spikes will help build that attitude.
