I am cautiously optimistic at the start of every season, after the draft about the time of camp it starts to get progressivley stronger.
Dont get me wrong, while I love football and generally am just ready for the season I am a Bills fan. I almost never go into a season thinking "this is it this is our season" I guess I just know better.
Now i'll be the first to admit, while we dont generally get a lot of turnover there are ALWAYS unknowns. But man this is the first season in a long time where I genuinley think we have a shot at the playoffs.
Schobel - Stroud - McCargo - Kelsay
Mitchell - Poz - Crowell
McKelvin - Whitner - Simpson - McGee
Thats one of the better D-units we have had in awhile. Young, crazy athletic, fast and most importantly I feel we upgraded 2-3 spots that were most important (apart DE). Not only that but I think we have decent depth at most spots, on D anyway.
Our special teams is ALWAYS good to great, and I think our offense is better. Certainly wont win a lot of games for us, but I think it will be improved and will absolutley keep us in games.
The most important thing for us is that our young guys keep improving, but I believe via the draft/FA we have brought in the type of guys who will do just that. Part of the reason I LOVED the Mitchell signing was what he brings to the locker room. A guy who has won, has the character and most importantly a solid starting vet on a young D.
Im excited man, I really am.
