    Zone Original: Is Drew a good fit?

    I'd like to welcome Ryjam282 to the Zone's editorial staff. Here is his innauguarl article. It's a great read.

    Is Bledsoe right for the Buffalo Bills? The Steelers named Mike Mularkey their offensive coordinator in 2001. Mularkey's become known for his philosophy of balancing the run and pass, and utilizing as many players as possible to move the ball. He took a QB coming off one of his worst seasons in the NFL and brought Kordell Stewart and SLASH back to life. He made him a pro-bowler once again and I for one believe he can do the same thing for Drew Bledsoe, everything but the SLASH part…

    How will the process work? In Buffalo the fans have been hearing for some 2 years now that we will be a power running team and use play-action to help Drew get some better looks. The Bills even drafted an Offensive Tackle in Mike Williams who is 6’6” 370 pounds. I mean what else could he be used for? The team signed Sam Gash, one of the best blocking fullbacks in NFL history, and drafted Willis McGahee in the 1st round even though they had a 1400-yard back in only his second year as a pro. All signs point to a running team. But what happens? 1st and 10 to start the game, a pass play. 3rd and 1 over and over again, another pass. What is going on here? So, the Buffalo Bills bring in Mularkey to rectify the situation. He is well known for his balance of run/pass and I think he will make a difference for Drew Bledsoe and the two-headed monster that will be the Bills backfield next year.

            Great job. With the presence of MM and TC, two great running backs and an improved O line (through the draft, free agency and the coaching of Mcally), Drew - and the Bills offense - should be much better. I see a lot more play action next year.
            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?
