Alright.. (Im not much in a writing mood to over-elaborate). The draft is over and the majority of us, including myself are pretty happy with the Buffalo Bills draft.
Back to reality.
I know there are no "names" out there right now, but I hope come June 1st a few big fat run-stuffing DT's are out there.
Make no mistake about it, we NEED ONE in a HUGE way. I like McCargo, I think he's going to be a lot like.. Larry Tripplett, go figure. He's NOT starting as a rookie. I expect him to be the third man in the DT rotation. NOw before we go thinking "benchwarmer" a backup DT isnt much different than a starting DT. Tripplett didnt start in Indy but had a LOT of playing time, I expect the same with McCargo this year in Buffalo.
But McCargo, Tripplett and Tim Anderson doesnt equate to stopping the run. We need a big tackle who can tie up blockers on this team still or its going to be ugly out there.
I understand the Cover Two defense pretty well. I can also tell you that opposing offenses dont give a **** what defense we're trying to run, when they can simply run all over us.
Our run defense was 29th in the NFL last year. Believe it or not, I think at least for some of the year it's going to be even worse.
I hope we sign a good run-stuffing DT before the season starts.
Every other spot on the football team that wasn't addressed I can live with for 2006. But not in this spot.
