Gruden says the Bills have the "best receiving core in football"!

[Jeff1220]

This is a pretty cool mock draft, done as a roundtable. Anyway, I was pretty surprised to see Gruden say that. They have the Bills taking Oher at 11 and Pettigrew at 28.

Jon Gruden: "We have pass rushers. I've got the best receiving core in football. I'm going to throw the rock now, I'm going to spread you out and throw it. I could use some defensive help, but I have to keep my quarterback healthy. If Edwards is healthy, Edwards can play. I'm going to Ole Miss to find Michael Oher."

Btw, where's Mayock's mock? I've been waiting for it for a while now. Ever since he nailed the Whitner pick, he's had the mock to keep an eye on.

I'm kind of wondering if Mayock simply isn't going a mock this year. He would have put it out by now if he was.

We have pass rushers?

What Bills team has he been watching?

Healthy, these "bums" had 40 sacks and finished 8th. The last 2 years they haven't been healthy, so that could be a legitimate argument

Does Gruden really have Bills season tickets?

Mayock predicted we'd take Whitner?!?!

btw, best WR's in football? Who cares without an OL?

Evans and Owens will be wide open down the field while Edwards' ass is buried in the turf below a 300 lb nose tackle.

After this season, maybe he'll have a front-row seat on the sidelines next year!

It was 36 sacks

Schobel 14
Denney 6
Kelsay 5.5
Triplett 2.5
Fletcher 2
Crowell 2
Spikes 1
Hargrove 1
Simpson 1
Ellison 1

Kelsay averages under 3 sacks per season over his career. It was the only season he had over 5 sacks in six years

Denney averages just over 3 sacks per season. It was the only season he had over 5 sacks in seven years

Re: Gruden says the Bills have the "best receiving core in football"!

2006

and the players who got those sacks have been in a steady decline ever since. Kelsay is below average and Schobel is overrated. In case you don't remember, our pass rush wasn't exactly stellar before Schobel got hurt last year, and that was against some pretty lousy teams.

translation: that's what statisticians call an "anomaly". It won't happen again.
