We all know what a D can do for a team. The bucs and the Ravens carried their team all the way to winning a SB. The Rams had a good defense as well in all those SB years. The Pats beat the Rams with Belichik's D in SB 2002.
The reason why I brought this up is because although we all know we need DE's and LB's, a lot of emphasis has been on signing Price. Even Drew has openly said he wants Price back and would take some cash out of his paycheck for this to happen. Then again Price helps make Drew's nos. better.
Price was our no. 2 WR and yet he had more yards than Keyshawn Johnson. . Another thing to consider is that Travis Henry doubled the output of Pittman .Despite this , the Bucs are the Champs and we didn't even make the playoffs.
The Raiders were the no.1 offense in the league but that wasn't good enough to win them the Championship.
Based on these facts , I have to ask what direction would you rather see the bills go? Would you rather this team head towards having a no. 1 Raider type of offense or build a D that wins championships. We've all seen what happens when the bills fall way behind and leave it up to Drew and co. to play catch up .
You would think the combination of Drew, Moulds, Price and Reed would be enough. Obviously not. Defenses have figured us out and know what Gilbrides way of thinking is when his back is against the wall. This tandem with Gilbride leading the way has "pass" written all over Drew's eyes.
Price is definitely an asset , but if signing him for a huge ammount which therefore prevents us from signing the right defensive players to make us the top D in the league, then he becomes a liability. A great D that causes turnovers and stops offenses deep in their territory will make up for the loss of Price if he decides to go elsewhere for the money.
Greg Williams is supposedly a defensive genius. Find him the right players to win us a SB. Tampa won the SB on their first trip. Despite the KGun, we didn't win it in 4 tries. We should learn from the past.
Sorry for the long post. Time for me to go back to the twighlight zone where I belong .
