All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Bigger than Barnett, but coming from a 43 defense not a 34.
If we're adding any vet, IMO it should be somebody with 34 experience, and even more preferably one who has called the shots before.
I'd be very OK with a LB corps of Merriman-Exp.Vet-Sheppard-Moats.
He played a Hybrid like Carroll did in USC. It was not uncommon to see both Tatupu and Curry in the middle at the same time. Also, he realy isn't a vet. 28 years old has 5 good years left.

Tatupu has surgery on both knees: The Seahawks announced LB Lofa Tatupu had successful arthroscopic surgery on both knees Thursday. He dealt with knee issues for most of the 2010 season -- often sitting out of Wednesday practices -- but should be okay to start the 2011 campaign.
but he still managed to play all 16 games the last 3 seasons

He's been in the league, what, seven seasons? That's not a vet?

best LB available. we'd be fools not to go after him... personally i'd love to sign both him and Barnett. that would give our defense a new look
I'd love it too. I just don't see it. Not a typical Bills move.
But yes, I'd love to have Barnett and Tatupu to start until Shepp earns the starting job. And Davis, a guy I like a lot, is really just a vet backup at this point. Smart teams make moves like this.

bingo. no confidence in our FO to do it. it makes too much sense.
My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.

I agree it would make us solid right away but getting two ILBs would also stunt the growth of Shepp and Chris White who I think the Bills see as starters sooner rather than later.
Really, if you put a good DL in front of two young, hungry ILBs like Shepp and White it could work out really nicely.

What type of play do you get on the field when a rookie is "growing"?
We should want to win every game. Winning should be more important than developing your youth.
