If the Lynch trade was a sign of things to come, this recent Buddy Nix interview http://www.buffalobills.com/media-ce...d-47d117808597 only increases the likelyhood of those things actually happening.
Here are things that stuck out to me from that interview. The plan has come in to view here, they want draft picks, they are evaluating everybody, and in order to stay on this team, the players have to produce. No one is safe except for the 5 or 6 leaders, and core players mentioned in brief, and not mentioned by name by Nix except for Kelsay.
He explained why it took so long for Edwards to finally be released, stating that Edwards did everything asked of him through out pre-season, training camps, and OTAs, and did well at the time. With so many ex Bills players around the league playing well last year, Nix felt the need to want to look at everyone as to not overlook, and start releasing players from the start. It's that leaving no stone unturned mentality that made the Bills decide to hold on to Edwards in the first place, and after his success in pre season, he was awarded a chance to play in the regular season where it didn't work out, and after 2 games he was gone.
Finally, He did mention how he understands the frustration of the fans, and that he has been frustrated also. But, he also knew this would be a long drawn out process. As he stated, it took a long time for this team to get this bad and it will take a long time to fix it, but they are on top of it. Although it may look all doom and gloom now, he plans on staying the course of build through the draft, and guarantees it will turn this franchise around. I hope he is right. This fan base is ready to form a mob and picket for firings. lol If I missed anything, feel free to add to this, and leave a comment. Thanks for reading.
