Bills just featured on ESPN

[patmoran2006]

EAch day on ESPN they are disecting a team.. Today was the Buffalo Bills.. It kinda went like this (and its the same for every team)

2006 GRADE (Sean Salisbury)
Gave them a B-.. Actually gave a lot of props, he likes this team. He also called Losman the most improved player in the entire league. Went as far to say with a few key moves we could be chasing the Patriots down next year.

FREE AGENCY (John Clayton)
Talked about how much cap room we have, and how the plan should be to spend big money on the OL, which would help the running game and Losman.. Hard to disagree with that.

DRAFT NEEDS (McShay)
has the Bills taking Leon Hall in 1st round, Brandon Siler, LB (Florida) in second and a DT from Ohio STate in the third.. I forgot his name.

PREDICTION (Michael A Smith)
Has them third in AFC East but has teh potential to chase the Patriots.. Said the running game is awful and we need help on the OL big time outside of Jason Peters.. I absolutely agree..


All in all, I thought it was very favoring, they spoke of the team and I think told the truth.. Lots of good young players, Losman on the rise.. They ALL said the same thing, this offensive line has to get a lot better and be able to run the ball.. I expect at LEAST two new FA signings on the OL.

The ONLY thing I totally disagree about is our draft outlook.. I DO NOT see us taking a corner in round one, I see us going either DE or DT with Levi Brown an outside possibility.

But it was a pretty good summary and they gave us more props than I thought.

Put it this way man.. There are THREE key guards in FA.. Steinbach, Dielman and Dockery.. The Bills have the third most cap room in the NFL and its our #1 need..

We NEED to sign one of these three and if they decide not to pay Gandy, possibly even two of them.. Why not? We certainly have the room and a better middle of our line might make Losman and maybe even McGahee pro bowlers.

Salisbury said that Losman was the most improved player in the league this year.

I'd much rather the focus be on winning games than making our QB and RB Pro Bowlers. And it's going to take more than a guard or two to accomplish that.

Nice Pat, sounds like we are heading the right way.

Yep, been saying it all along!

Could live with it!

PREDICTION (Michael A Smith)

Two guards away from fixing the problem.

I believe now that J. Smith was franchised, we will see movement on resigning Kelsay, it will happen.

Re: Bills just featured on ESPN

If we improve the line and McGahee still runs for 990 yards and can't figure out what it takes to get a half yard on 3rd down than I'll be super pissed. Id rather have him as a Pro Bowler than just a big mouth.

Point was I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt just like I gave JP. If the line improves and he improves than great!

I know stats do not mean everything, but I really believe he is resigned by the start of FA, there is no way we can make sure we get a replacement in FA that is an upgrade, we need to keep the holes on this team to a minimum!

Re: Bills just featured on ESPN

The DT names is Quinn Pitcock which is a horrible pick for us, he's Tim Anderson V2.0. Also Todd McShay is a crackpot when it comes to Mock Drafts. I saw what he said for picks 9, 10, 11 and 12 today and each one he said Leon Hall could go there. He's a huge Big 10 guy and doesnt really pay much attention to the fact that Hall got smoked three times against big time opponents.

Re: Bills just featured on ESPN

I agree about McShay...he's had the same OT from Central/Western Michigan going to every single team in the 2nd round. Joe Staley I believe was his name.

Staley happens to be very good and id like us to pick him

[Dicknoze69]

Re: Bills just featured on ESPN

I agree that Staley is very good, I've seen him in a couple games this year. But my point was that McShay had him going to roughly 7 different teams in the 2nd round.
