Law/Milloy Bills could've waited

[juice]

Did the Bills pull the trigger on the Milloy deal when the Defense had bigger issues. Average play from the DE position and an ageing D-line why was the SS position in such a need of upgrading when Coy and PP had done an acceptable job.

Milloy didn't have that huge of an impact last season and we knew we had an issue with re-signing AW... Would it have been a better move to wait on SS and make a power move on Ty Law or one of the other premier Corners?

I know Vincint was a Pro Bowler but he's not Law, Bailey or Woodson.

Maybe Drew talked Wilson and TD into making an unnecessary deal for a player on the downside of his carreer.

No he is a great leader and helped this defense greatly

The SS is more important when the oposing team is playing catch up.

We didnt score many points last year, so most teams just ran the ball at us all game.

When we are up by 14 this season, you will see more long passes being thrown, and more INTs

It would have taken a crystal ball to see that Ty Law would be available this off season- which he still isn't. Signing Milloy was like psychological warfare against the Pats, and it worked great that first game. Too bad the coaches sucked the rest of the season.

The money that was spent on Milloy wouldn't have been spent last year on a DE, because we had 2 x 2nd rd picks at DE and there were no stud DEs available.

All the premier CB's either resigned with their teams or signed for tons o cash with another team this off season.

Ty Law knew last year there would be issues with his contract.. Which he talked about during the Milloy fallout. Milloy didn't effect the outcome of many other games last year besides NE.

Some cash and the thought of sticking it to his old team could have convinced Law to come to Buffalo.. Maybe.

I liked the Milloy deal a lot better then than I do now. But hindsight is always 20/20.

[Tatonka]

law is not cut yet.. law wants to be paid more than champ, which is about 3x what we are paying milloy. and you would have been freaking out if we didnt sign vincent by now, and had no replacement for winfield at this point.. then what if we didnt get law.. we would really be up **** creek.. td did the right thing by getting vincent.

If Law becomes available, who's to say that the Bills wouldn't go after him anyway? I'm syre Milloy and Bledsoe could persuade him to sign on.

The Bills have already discussed the fact that Vincent is getting up there in age and have consdired moving him to FS in coming years. Sign Law now with the money they saved in cap space resigning Drew, move Vincent to FS and the Bills have a powerful shutdown secondary.

Milloy, Law, Clements, and Vincent.

[The Spaz]

Law is is asking for a **** load of money no way can we afford him and expect to re-sign or extend some of our players for next year.

[Ebenezer]

Ty Law has too much baggage...sorry...pass.

[RedEyE]

We don't need the guy. He is too expensive for one thing, and for another, I guarantee he plays out his contract his year with NE. It would be just plain stupid for him sit out this year, it would drive his asking price way down and the Pats would cut a player that doesn't have a commitment to the team...... after the 2004 season.

Red, I can see the subject is tearing you apart.

I guess I should have explained myself further to avoid the contradiction.

I was replying in two parts....

1) He may already be a consideration......

2) .......although we really don't need him.

If he was to sign with the team, I can't say that I would be terribly upset.

[helmetguy]

The Malloy deal was just great timing; pure and simple. He gave us more experience at SS for a fairly reasonable price, considering his credentials. TY Law, for all his talent, just doesn't fill a need for us, in that we already have two quality corners. It'll be cheaper, and more prudent in the long run to sign Clements than to break the bank for a Ty Law.

I don't think Wire getting burned every other play was acceptable...
