"Still, it is the presence of Adams and Washington in the middle of the Buffalo and New England defenses, respectively, that could place the Bills and the Patriots right among the best teams in 2003.

To the fans, their presence might not be all that discernable, but they are clearly difference makers.
Perhaps the biggest difference makers in 2003, and from more than simply the physical dimension, some teammates acknowledge.

A lot of us have said that it's not about flashy play or statistics with guys like Sam. It's their physical presence. Now we have an "expert" to validate us.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
