We need all 3 equally as much.

Nasty DT, at least one Nasty safty, decent DE incase Jones dosen't heal properly, Takeo Spikes

[venis2k1]

nice post BTW, welcome to the zone i dont think i have had a chance to say hi, you should post here more often :)

[TacklingDummy]

Are they all unrestricted Free Agents?

Although the best impact player is the one we should go after, if all are even we need DE the most.

[venis2k1]

at DT i would kill for Corey Simon but its not gonna happen, Bryant Young would be a great pick up if the 49ers are willing to part with him,

I thought Tenn extended Kearses contract at the beginning of the season.

I disagree a big old DT will make the LBers play ALOT better, when cowart was nasty he had MT. Washington in front of him, when urlacher was nasty(he is still great, but looked alot better last year) he had Mt. Washington in front of him. We need a stud DT, to eat up the O-linemen and give the LBers a chance to make plays.

There's some nice DEs available. I also wouldn't mind Jamir Miller if he's recovered...maybe he'll come cheaper than he would have.

David Bowens of Miami is a DE. In fact he was a Buffalo Bill for a while until he got cut. Tim Bowens is the DT. Holliday has played mostly DE for the Packers, I think but I think he came out of college as a swing guy DT/DE. He'd be a great pickup if we could afford him. I'd like Aaron Smith too, who has a good speed/size combo. Spikes would be great too, but I'm thinking the Bills might look for a LB in the draft. I think there might be a good one where Buffalo drafts in round two. I'm looking at Joe Odom or Chaun Thompson, both of whom have decent size and excellent speed, can rush the QB as well as drop back in coverage.

There is one guy you don't mention... J. Trotter (MLB) of Washington will be a cap casualty next year (he has something insane like an 8 or 9 mil base salary cap number and the Redskins are over way over the cap next year). Furthermore he has played SLB, DE and WLB in both collage and pros.

BTW: Colvin (LB) would be the best pickup on that list

The Bills should go balls out to get Dan Wilkinson, a defensive tackle that gives you everything we need. Defensive philosophy should always start with defense against the run, something the Bills have not been the most adept at, though they are showing improvement. Wilkinson is a hoss and a half and has a decent first step to cover lateral gaps and is strong enough to take on double teams and MOST IMPORTANTLY can collapse the pocket(which will improve the pass rush of the ends.)

Fundamentals fellas! Most games are still won or lost at the trenches.

Defensive tackle first Priority.

Impact DE next. Get the line settled first!

Then worry about backfield players.

Those were my sentiments exactly as far as DT goes - and in that order too - we only need one because we've already got Pat Williams.

There's still a problem, and that problem is WHERE THE HE!! DID OUR OFFENSE GO?

[ublinkwescore]

Not one of our talented recievers got 100 yards recieving - not that I have a problem with that because Travis Henry was eating the Chiefs alive. I think calling a pass against the chiefs on our last offensive play (drive for that matter was very stupid) we should have just kept forcing Henry down their throats all game.
