Marcus Stroud-Biggest Defensive Acquisition Since Cornelius Bennett!!!

There's no question that Stroud has improved this D-Line so much!!!
Best acquistion in a very long time defensively. Who's with me?

I would vote Paup.

Really? Paup was good, but he's not making a major impact like Stroud's
doing. I do give Paup his props (credit).

Paup and Spikes come to mind. Maybe Spielman too

Stroud was major...though according to FTP, he's past his prime and a has-been. Can't wait to play the Fins so he can see for himself how much past his prime he really is...

Whoever negged me it's my opinion, if you want to be immature about it,that's your issue not mine. Grow up! Talk about childish!

If he stays fit, he'll be a major factor.

Paup was a great pickup as was Speilman. Spikes was never in the same league.

Read it and weep!!! This is from the article above.

Safety Donte Whitner says he noticed that ferocity the first day of training camp. "Maybe when we made the trade, people thought, 'Oh, he's washed up,' " Whitner says. "Oh, no, no, no, no. He's dominating out there." Stroud says he can play better and, anyway, it was only one game. "It was rewarding, but it's early," he says. "I want to be a guy that is able to turn it on every week. I don't want to be that guy who has flashes." Stroud has a chance to be Buffalo's best defender to come by trade since linebacker Cornelius Bennett in 1987. The enormity of that suggestion doesn't faze him. "Well, I hope so, man," Stroud says. "I want to come up here and play well and be an impact player. And that's exactly what I'm going to do."

Spikes was a game-changing All-Pro LB with us, far ahead of any other OLB in the league. His career was destroyed by the injury.

Let's see how far Stroud takes us before we jump to conclusions, eh?

Ted Washington made a huge impact for the Bills. I'd liken Stroud to him, especially since they're both DT's.
