Jacksonville missing Stroud!!

[HHURRICANE]

Del Rio admitted on Sirrius that DT is now a weakness on the team and that there were too many expectations for players to step up. Never mentioned Stroud by name but they are desperate for a DT.

Stroud is their P. Williams, but at least they got a draft pick...

Did we even get a compensation pick for Pat?

Watching Winfield play great every year nauseates me. I'm afraid Peters is going to be our Stroud.

O well thats how things go

Re: Jacksonville missing Stroud!!

Well, I didn't watch the Jaguars much last season but I remember that in 07 both Rob Meir and John Henderson did a great job in the d-line, maybe that was the reason they didn't want to keep Stroud especially after the suspension.

I guess Meir and Henderson didn't live to the expectations last season.

Are you suggesting Stroud was dominant for us? Cause if you are, that's not what I remember. I think he played well, but that shouldn't suggest he is missed by the Jags. I was not thrilled signing Stroud, I had high hopes for Rogers, instead we sign a guy who plays well, but doesn't dominate his position. Maybe with a year under his belt in this system and some outside pressure Stroud will elevate his game, but so far I'm not overly impressed.

Pat Williams and London Fletcher are already our Stroud's. Peters and Greer could be next.

Yeah it was the reason. But they were wrong.

You are crazy, he was the best player in the entire defense.

Greer has to be the most overrated Buffalo Bill of all time.

He was ****ing garbage, and got roasted almost every game.

Why do people actually think he was good?

That's not saying much.

Re: Jacksonville missing Stroud!!

Well, to be able to shine in a mediocre defense is not easy.

It's not?

Re: Jacksonville missing Stroud!!

Well if you don't think too much about Stroud, he was ranked as the 8th best DT in the NFL. So there.

Yeah, so! What exactly does that prove? It's not like the Bills had the best defense in the league and Stroud lead the way. Like I said he played well, he just didn't dominate his position. Obviously making the pro bowl isn't the end all be all, but there are players making the pro bowl because they dominate their position, Stroud didn't make the pro bowl.

He could have, he could have dominated his position and earned a pro bowl selection despite the other players around him, did he? No! My point is he played OK, but not well enough to make people in Jacksonville wish he were still there. To me, making the pro bowl and being one of the best at your position on a different team is how you make people wish they still had your services, not by playing OK on a team that won just 7 games. The Bills had the 22nd ranked rushing defense in 08 hardly worthy of mention.
