    Posey Will Have Expanded Role

    Anyone see this one yet?

    From KFFL


    Allen Wilson, of the Buffalo News, reports for the Sporting News that Buffalo Bills LB Jeff Posey will get some snaps at defensive end this season. Posey recorded eight sacks last year as a pass-rushing specialist with the Houston Texans.

    For the sixth time, I saw GW on Empire babbling about this at the last minicamp. Gives some creedence to Jones retiring....

        Anyone else think Newman would have been just fine?

          I hear what you’re saying, but at the same time, there is so much we don’t know about the situation. They obviously didn’t like him for some reason. Maybe he was a jerk or bad for team chemistry. There had to be a reason.

            I hear what you are saying as well patrick but I would be a jerk too if the best years of my carrer were wasted because I was misused for 2 seasons. I think that it was the best thing for both sides.

              Exactly. And that's why it was good to make the move.


              Right on Volt.

                  Posey could go to DE and Spoon could take over for posey. Spoon is not slow is he? It has been so long I can't remember but I would have to say that if you played MLB you can't be too slow.

                    i think Spoon is too slow for a full time role at OLB. Great depth none the less. Regardless Voltron, Posey will still be our starting SLB. The Bills will probably have him get down in a 3 point stance for obvious passing downs.
                    Its all about the quest.

                      I think Newman was misused too but I also watched him blitz several times last season and get knocked back by blockers. I really thought last season was going to be his year. I thought so much of him that I have the #53 Newman jersey!! Time to get a new one I suppose. I don't know what happened to him but if anything, at least Posey's bigger. He didn't seem to fit the 46 which is strange because there are many similarities to the 34 we ran under Wade. Maybe having Ted, Bruce and Phil on the DL helped him get those 8 sacks a few years ago. I don't know, just speculation.

                        posey over newman because he brings 8 sacks after only starting 8 games last season. he picks up a little bit of slack left by the d-line not getting any presure on the qb

                          BOY! This sure screams out that Jones is fine.

                          Replace Donahoe with Modrak and fire the entire coaching staff!

                          Then let's go to Disneyworld!

                            I said that already.

                            Newman is another example of below average player that everyone falls in love with.

                              Newman had one good year and there is still people who thinks we messed up getting rid of him.
