New Bills defensive tackle Marcus Stroud is the first to say that last season was one to forget. Now in a new city and playing on a new team, Stroud is anxious to begin putting together a more memorable campaign.
"This team is headed in the right direction and I'm just happy to be a part of it," he said. "You've got guys who have been working toward getting better every year, and right now I think they're right on the edge. Hopefully I can help push them over."
That's exactly what the Bills were thinking when they acquired the 6-foot-6, 310-pound Stroud from Jacksonville in March in exchange for a couple of draft picks. Buffalo's porous defense was next to last in yards allowed last year, and hasn't been in the top half of the league since ranking second in 2004.
