Everyone remember Levy was covering the Bears before he came back to us.

I think Fletcher leaves and we are very likely to go after Briggs, also drafted by Jauron. I fully expect him to be a Bill next year. Levy has commented that Briggs is a star in this league while covering the Bears. We may go after June instead of if we dont land Briggs as our first attempt due to June playing in the Tampa 2 scheme. I seriously think Briggs will be a Bill.

The other name to watch is Ruben Brown. I could easily see Levy talking with him, Ruben wont command big money and may want to finish his career where he started. Hes still a great lead blocker and has actually done well to kill the number of penalties. We all know Rubens legacy here. Hes a FA, he can still play, he has ties to us, and he wont be big money. Is there anyone who is MORE likely to be a Bill?

I hadn't thought of the Brown scenario in that way before...pretty interesting.

I think Rueben would have to be convinced the team has a legitimate shot at the Super Bowl before considering it, though.

You dont think a second tier contract which will be competitive, ending his career where it all began, and rejoining Marv on an up and coming team would do it?

Ruben wanted to win here, I think he comes back.

**** Ruben.

I'd love to have Briggs but the Bears will most likely re-sign him. It's been noted that Urlacher would take a paycut to keep Briggs.

Rueben's been too good for Chicago in the playoffs- I don't see them letting him get away.

And there's no way we shell out for Briggs.

I have mentioned Brown to people before.

It makes sense. It would be a fairly cheap alternative at guard. Brown loves Marv too and he is a character guy and a leader like the team and line need.

Brown is still a force in the run game. He pancaked several NO LB on trap plays yesterday. For a team running a power run game, like the Bears, he is a great fit.

Forget about Briggs.

His contract is going to cost significantly more than we paid for Spikes in 2003. With Wilson, you can forget about that.

And although we may have some "Chicago" ties-- there's about 30 other teams in the league that would like to make a play for this guy.

I'd love to be wrong on this one, Briggs would be a sick addition to this team, but I really dont think its going to happen.

We speculated like this last year.. IN reality, we should all start studying up on a bunch of the more unknown FA's

The only reason I feel Ralph will pay is MARV! He will trust Marv and his judgement! And before everyone kills me on "Marv was here last year" Remember;

(1) That was his first year as GM (hired 5 January)
(2) He had 2 months to assemble a coaching staff (Jauron Hired 23 January)
(3) Offensive Coor Hired 25 January
(4) Defensive Coor Hired 31 January

So in Marv's first month he assembled a staff. Now you have to evaluate what you currently have, to think you would go out and buy every FA out there is suspect and not what a wis eGM would do.

With all that said the team played 16 games you know what you have what improved and what you need to get to the next level. I believe that most FA money will be spent on Defense and I do expect a FA LB, CB, DE and I expect to draft a DT, MLB, RB, OG, CB, OLB

I agree with what your saying but I feel that Marv and Co. Were more focused on a 2 year FA plan than a 1 year FA plan last offseason. They new that they should save the cap space and sign only guys they felt would be role players last March in anticipation of spending it this year. Everyone has cap space now, but the Bills have way more. We need 2 DL (DE, DT) , one LB (inside or outside), a CB and an OL. I say you get your linemen and a CB in FA. Ex. Ian Scott or Tank Johnson(restricted) but we can outbid, I also wouldnt mind Ricky Manning Jr as a replacement for Nate. He's a playmaker and has been in the system with the Bears for a year now. Also for the DL we could target any one of these DEs
1. Dwight Freeney Indianapolis
2. Justin Smith Cincinnati
3. Charles Grant New Orleans
4. Patrick Kerney Atlanta
5. Leonard Little St. Louis (Bill Kolar worked with little in St-Louis, its possible)

so to sum up: DE, DT, CB and G in FA. RB/LB, G, WR, TE in Draft.

If Chicago wins the Super Bowl this year, I don't think that will be as much of an issue for Ruben. I'm not sure the Bills will go in that direction though.

I agree 100% there is know way in hell we are going after him.....We would have 2 outside LB's making $5 million a year.......I can see him playing elsewhere

01-23-2007, 03:09 AM
I see Briggs as an option if they feel that Spikes can't get back to his pre-injury form and they feel that they need to bring in another playmaker at LB.

Personally, I would not want Brown anywhere near the Bills' lockerroom and their young offensive linemen.

If you go back to Brown's last few years in Buffalo, when he committed a penalty or gave up a sack at a crucial time in just about every game, whenever he was questioned by the media, he would excuse his mistakes by pointing out that he played really well except for that one mistake. When the Bills surrounded him with young offensive linemen: Jonas Jennings, Marques Sullivan, Trey Teague (who was a FA, but young) and Mike Williams, they all looked up to Brown and followed his lead. While none of them was as good yet as Brown, if you go back and read the interviews and what they had to say when they would make mistakes, they all adopted the same attitude that Brown had towards the mistakes that they made: "well, but I only committed one penalty" or "I played well except for that one play". That attitude may be okay coming from one player, but when it is coming from all five of your offensive linemen it is a real problem because those mistakes add up and destroy the continuity of your offense. It also makes it hard for the coaches to teach the younger guys that critical mistakes are unacceptable: not one of the offensive linemen that the Bills drafted while Brown was supposed to be their mentor--and at that point the Bills had drafted more and used higher picks on offensive linemen than the Pats, who won the Super Bowl--has become more than a mediocre player (J.Jennings might have been the exception, but he has constantly been hurt). You can say that it was bad selecting by the front office or bad coaching by the coaches, but don't underestimate the impact that Brown, who they all acknowledged that they looked up to and were trying to emulate, had on those young players and their development (or lack thereof).

If you don't believe me, go back and look at some of the interviews and quotes (I remember them because I remarked on some of them at the time).

The Bills are rebuilding their offensive line now because none of those players ended up developing. With Peters, Pennington, Fowler, Preston, Merz and Butler, the Bills have a lot of young offensive linemen that they are counting on to continue developing in order for the team to move to the next level. After starting out the season committing more than an acceptable number of penalties in several games, the Bills set a team record for the fewest penalties in a season. They need to have that continue. They do not need to bring in a veteran--Brown or anyone else, no matter how good he is--who is going to have the attitude that it's okay to make a mistake so long as you play decently the rest of the game. That kind of attitude is infectious and can ruin a young player's progress. I do not want to see that happen to the Bills again! I'd rather see them go with a young guy who makes mistakes because he doesn't know what he is doing, but who is going to try to get better each week and will go into every game trying not to make a single big mistake in that game.

First off, you said character was over used on this site. If you knew anything about Marv Levy you would understand that this is something that he holds in the highest regard. That is why it is used so often here, especially as of late. It's not overused but is a guideline that keeps us from wasting our time about players that will never be in a Bills uni or won't be returning in one.

Why not say: why is character used so much on this site? Over-used is a negative comment.

Mangini loves him. He made a very good transistion to OLB in their 3-4 and there was a news story here in the NYC area not long ago, right after the season ended, that said the Jets are really going to try to re-sign him (if they haven't already) because they are so pleased with him.

Two of their defensive players who I don't think are all that happy about playing in the 3-4 are Robertson and Vilma. I don't know how long they have those two under contract for, but I think both would leave to go to a 4-3 or Tampa 2 team if they could. IMHO Vilma, a big Ray Lewis fan who emulates him, is really being wasted on the inside in the Jets' 3-4. With his speed and aggressiveness, he would be a monster in the Bills system.

he didn't walk out on his team - that moron Gilbride (aka Killdrive - or never, ever run on third down) pushed him over the edge, and Brown was gonna ring his neck at a team meeting, but was restrained by fellow team-mates - that's what was the end of Ruben Brown's tenure as a bill - and now where are we at??? Gilbride is long gone, and will never be back, but we're still needing help at G - and Brown is available this offseason - and there are those of us who would like to see him back in a Bills uniform.

if anything, this organization owes Brown an apology for not doing something about Killdrive sooner.

All three of those players have made it clear they culd play somewhere else. I guess we'll see how serious the Bills are come FA, but If I were a Bills fan, I wouldn't hold my breath.

There's more then just schools when deciding the best destination for a family.

Seriously there is no way his listed profile is even remotely accurate. Read his posts, he responds and argues like he's 16 or younger. My guess is that he doesn't have any friends in school and the only attention he gets at all is here. Weather he lives in NJ or not I don't know, but I do know he knows nothing about Buffalo and knows even less about football.

If you were a player and you could play in Arizona or San Fran would you choose Buffalo? HELLL NO!!!!!!!!!!! You chose your team, deal with the problems that come with that choice.

BTW, If you live in Atlanta, how do you know first hand about the public and private school systems in upstate NY?? Also, where did I say anything about the schools in Buffalo? There's more then just schools when deciding the best destination for a family. My girlfriend happens to be a school teacher in NJ and I hate to break your heart, but NJ happens to have one of the best schooling systems in the country too, I guess everywhere in the country, someone thinks they have the best schooling systems in the country. So why don't you STFU!
Between Arizona, San Fran and Buffalo Briggs will choose buffalo for a certainty:

A) Arizona's D sucks and they play a very vanilla defense that wont cater to Briggs' abilities.

B) Briggs already stated that he loved playing for Jauron who drafted him.

C) San Fran plays a 3-4 and theres no way in heck Briggs will go play a minimal role in a 3-4 when he can come to Buffalo and play the weakside where he can wreak havok in the cover 2 scheme he has played in his whole carreer.

D) I may be Canadian, but im pretty sure Chicago isnt located in Southern USA. So cold weather I doubt is a factor.

"it's not a place you want to raise your kids"

That's your quote that I responded to. Do you read the crap you write?

I grew up in Buffalo and my best friend is raising his kids in the same school system. My kids are 11 and 13 and there is no comparison between the private school education in Atlanta and the public school education in Buffalo. Buffalo is ten times better.

Family values are better as well. There are nicer places than Buffalo but not a better place to raise a family. When you talk out of your butt make sure you can back it up.

You know one of the best parts of the Super Bowl losses?

Beating the **** out of Marino and crew on the way there!

Alsmost as good as the Bills always beating the crap out of the Dolphins when Marinowas there was Dan Marino's last NFL game...Nothing like losing 63-7 as your last game before you retire...

Shutout sweep!!! HAHAHAHANo one is "down" with a phinhead. They are down with a cool human person who happens to root for a rival team and is capable of intelligent conversation. Now lets talk about what they think of you here :scratch:

Why? i post my oppinions with respect. And they are not so far off in any way to warrant many negative oppinions. My anti Thurman Thomas crusade wasn't good for my popularity..oh darn..

Just funny that you choose Bills fans to have intelligent conversation with on a all day basis... Sounds to me like your obsessed with us/Bills.

-I wasn't aware that so many Bills fans wanted to chat with a dolphin on such a regular basis, ESP in non football related topics...

LT, don't mistake my oppinion for disrespect to you dude..
