All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

2012 NFL Free Agents: Under the Radar Moves to Dramatically Help Each Team
While the draft is one way to improve the team, free agency is a far more immediate way to do that. Still, it's not always the big name players who make teams better...
Buffalo Bills, Jason Jones, DE/DT (Tennessee Titans)
The Bills have to spend their offseason revamping the pass rush that recorded fewer quarterback sacks than any team in 2012. Jones is better on the interior and will eat up defenders, opening up room for defensive ends and outside linebackers.
He will be 26 next season, so he can anchor that defense for a long time. Playing in a division with Tom Brady, the Bills will have to attack the quarterback better. Jones would bring that element to Buffalo.

Re: 2012 NFL Free Agents: Under the Radar Moves to Dramatically Help Each Team
So going to a 4-3 base, with Dareus and Williams inside, means we need to upgrade our interior line?
There are some really dumb ideas about at this time of the year. It's like the guy who had us picking a DT @ #10.
I really fail to see how these people actually get stuff out like that, as it's pretty much worthless.
Re: 2012 NFL Free Agents: Under the Radar Moves to Dramatically Help Each Team
I don't agree with it either, I think we're pretty set on the interior of the defensive line regardless of what base we line up in.
IMO a more appropriate 'under the radar' signing that would improve the team would be C Birk or Gurode from Baltimore, or CB Richard Marshall from Arizona.

I thought our interior O-line was pretty solid until the Wood injury. Are you thinking we should replace him because he's had problems staying healthy or does it kick Wood back to guard?
I like the idea of addressing our CB weakness in FA a lot.

A guy like Jones will most likely head to St Louis or Detroit to work in a system he knows, IMO.
Re: 2012 NFL Free Agents: Under the Radar Moves to Dramatically Help Each Team
Jones would be a fantastic get for us. He can play all four DL positions and has a very good power-speed rush combo that he uses to keep OL off balance and guessing. He'd actually be close to if not my #1 target in FA if I were Buffalo.
COMING SOON...

Re: 2012 NFL Free Agents: Under the Radar Moves to Dramatically Help Each Team
Jones would bring nice versatility to the line being able to play all across it but I would rather go after Mincey from the Jags. Also one LB they should take a look at is Erin Henderson from the Vikes. Both would be real solid starters.

We desperately need somebody that can play C at a decently high level in the event of an injury at that position. If that means a back-up that can play guard also, or a guy that beats out Wood for the starting position and kicks him back to guard/reserve center, than so be it as long as the starting five and depth get better.

If Jones,Dareus & Williams can be on the field at the same time, we've improved dramatically.
Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit
Re: 2012 NFL Free Agents: Under the Radar Moves to Dramatically Help Each Team
Why cant we just run a 5 man DL?? Sheppard and Barnett as the 2 LBs. Then u get 3 DT, Jones, Williams, Dareus. Then Upshaw and Kelsay on the end. Holy **** that seems brilliant!
Not here to be right, just here to have interesting discussions about my impulsive opinions

If our schedule next season were filled with games against the Orchard Park Quakers, Fredonia Hillbillies, NT Lumberjacks and Lackawanna Steelers I'd be all for it.

Depends on the team. If you look at the Ravens for instance, they've got in their heavy personnel Ngata, Suggs, Cody and Kruger, with the standup backer in Jarrett Johnson, who is underrated in coverage, but also a former lineman. That's the closest I've seen to that.
