I really feel like this is a great option for the Bills, especially if Fox becomes free of his contract in Carolina.
I cant imagine that Cowher really wants to go to Tampa, Chicago seems like the wrong fit for Cowher. They are not built for the 3-4, they have no weapons besides Forte, and they have a weak o-line. The one thing they have is Cutler.
Carolina has exactly what Cowher is looking for. Great Db's, two stud Rb's who play hard nose physical football, and a tough young O-line. The defense would need some re-tooling to fit the 3-4, but not much. Peppers wants to be a pass rushing LB, Beason has the Middle locked up, and their D-Line has some size to it. They need a compliment to Steve Smith, but that can be had in the draft this year.
I think Fox's time in Carolina is done. Ownership is playing nice by "inviting" a guy who is under contract back. They want Cowher, Cowher wants to be there, Fox needs to leave.
And I'll pick him up at the Airport Brett Favre style.
Buffalo has the running backs to fit his system. They have a downfield threat in Evans to support the down field passing. They have an O-Line that has POTENTIAL to be good if it can stay healthy and disciplined. I think Fox brings that. He is a no nonsense coach. He demands physical disciplined play from his team, and never plays to lose. The one thing missing is a QB. But i honestly don't feel like there is one worth a first round pick this year. Unless, Ryan Mallet declares for the draft, then you trade down far enough to take him, and stock up on 2nd and 3rd round picks, where you improve the O-Line depth and LB positions.
The defense as it stands right now, needs one player to fit his style, a tough linebacker who is strong and can tackle. The line could use a bigger NT style DT who can swallow the middle of the line. If Schoebel retires, then that opens the door for Maybin. If he can get on the field and produce, this defense can really be a force. I know that sounds like homerism, but its the truth. The secondary is outstanding with Byrd. The corners have proven that they can step up and play well against the best receivers in the game. The problem is stopping the run. That problem is solved with drafting the best linebacker available (assuming Mallett stays at Arkansas). #1 on my board is McClain followed closely by Spikes. Either one of them playing the Middle and moving Poz to the outside makes this defense very very tough.
I would love for the cards to fall into place for any of this to happen, but most likely it wont. Bobby April will be the coach next season, and Sam Bradford will be on the Bills injured reserve list by week 8.
