New HC Mike Mularkey brings his offensive genius to Buffalo. He'll have plenty to work with and is expected to win right away. With rookie J.P. Loseman breathing down his neck, veteran Drew Bledsoe will have something to prove. It should motivate Bledsoe to repeat his 2002 season in Buffalo (4,300 yards and 24 TDs) compared to a dismal 2003 campaign (a mere 2,800 yards and 11 TDs). Having a quality receiver in town, rookie Lee Evans, will give Bledsoe another weapon opposite Eric Moulds, who should be 100% after an injury-plagued 2003. The backfield will provide plenty of excitement as Travis Henry tries to maintain the starting job now that former All-American Willis McGahee's knee is fully healed. As for the defense, a solid unit got even better with the addition of veteran and All-Pro Corner Troy Vincent, the import from Philly with a few good years left in him. Teamed with veterans Lawyer Milloy, Izell Reese and Nate Clements, Buffalo's secondary will be one of the league's best. Throw tackling-machines like Takeo Spikes and London Fletcher back into the mix, add an anchor up front like Sam Adams and you have a legitimate recipe for success in Buffalo. Only a pass-rush is lacking but sack-specialist LB Jason Gildon was brought in to address that. Despite a very tough division, Buffalo has the most star-power position-by-position. The race for top position will be close but Buffalo is our choice to take the division in 2004.
