• The team is 3-4
• Wood is going to Center
• They are not looking to replace Bell, may not even address O-Line
• 3rd pick franchise guy regardless of position

Re: Nix Speaks

At least they got Wood fiqured out. He should of been at center the whole time, but that's buffalo bills football.
If they don't address o-line, who exactly is playing rt ?

Re: Nix Speaks

Or LG?

I guess Hang is getting released?

Re: Nix Speaks

• The team is 3-4= better get some real LB's and improve our front 8 considerably
• Wood is going to Center= its about fricken time
• They are not looking to replace Bell, may not even address O-Line= smart about Bell, but ya gotta get another offensive tackle
• 3rd pick franchise guy regardless of position= if this means we're drafting Peterson, and not getting us Fairley, Dareus, or Bowers, then that sucks.

Re: Nix Speaks

Why couldn't Fairley or Bowers be franchise guys?

Re: Nix Speaks

ghz, I'm curious, where did you get that they might not address the OL at all? I didn't see a quote in there regarding that, wondering if I missed it. I'd be pretty surprised if that was actually the case.

Re: Nix Speaks

I liked the talk about getting bigger at linebacker.
Can't stop the run with our little speed guys at lb from the Jauron era. goodbye ellison types. Sounds like we will be drafting big.

Re: Nix Speaks

Hope that puts to rest the 3-4 vs 4-3 debate.

Re: Nix Speaks

I like the way Nix is blunt and open with his answers. He doesn't beat around the bush. "We need to get bigger (LBs) to be successful." I like that. He's not sugar coating it, saying they work hard, blah blah blah. He's saying, get bigger and stronger, or we'll find guys who are.

Be surprised if he got released. The goal is to gain depth not lose it. He is on a good contract to keep also.

LG? You mean RG?

Is he really talking about Ellison though?

Ellison barely played this year....

He could be talking about Poz and Ayodele. They were the MLBs most of the year and they were the ones that struggled in the run game.

I know many feel Poz will be re-signed but how much do you pay a LB that can't stop the run?

Re: Nix Speaks

I don't know. I'm kinda dumb.

I thought Wood was playing LG and Levitre was RG. Maybe it was the other way around.

[Forward_Lateral]

Re: Nix Speaks

Levitre is the LG. I'm assuming the RG spot will be open between Ubrik, Hang and others. Ubrik played decent when he was in there. Hang did play some RG in Carolina, I believe. Hang is a good guy to have because he can play all 3 interior line positions.
