One place I'd really like to have some depth, which we might already have depending on Menzie, is at Safety.

Cara, I'm relaxed. I know and agree that several FA work out. I think VJ in Tampa is going to be great, along with Meachem (tennessee WO are underrated IMO). I agree with Milkman though, typically the high-money FA don't work out. Either to lack of work ethic, system difficulties, or bad ****ing luck(injuries). It wouldn't suprise me at all to see Mario Williams get hurt and only register 7 sacks for the Bills this year.

Out of the hundreds of big name free agent signings since Reggie White to the Packers, there are only about 5 or 6 that have played a significant role in helping a team win a SB.

I might be in the minority, but I love the Menzie pick. Kid can play man, zone, press, blitz, everything you could want in a 3rd safety. Absolutely awesome. People tend to undervalue 3rd safeties and nickel backs, which is ****ing idiocy to me. This is a passing league, in which you need 3 starters at corner or safety. If you don't have that, you're ****ed IMO.

ILB is another scary spot, but if we lose our all pro ILB or OLB or S our defense is gonna be worse anyway.

I think Williams is another exception...I can definitely see him blow up in Buffalo.
That DL is stacked and opposing teams won't be able to double him as often as they did in Houston. |

I think Bobby Greenwood is going to be far better than people expect.

Definitely agree. 2 sides to an equation, if you will. He has injury issues, but is provided with enough talent around him to make a more than substantial impact (12+ sacks). I think that he is a boom or bust pick up for buffalo. Just depends on how you fee about Mario's health and overall talent level.

Yup. This was my only reasoning for Kuechly and also my reasoning for Mercilus at OLB. We need legit depth at those positions we can develop into All-pros. Not just starters. If DJ or Tamba goes down, we're probably going to be more ****ed than last year, simply because Berry won't be 100% next year in all likely hood.

Only two teams make it to the SB every year so that doesn't surprise me, but some of the bigger names do help IMPROVE their respected FA teams, which in alot of cases give those teams a better chance of getting to the big dance.

They will almost certainly be better with him if he is healthy, but they have little to no chance of even making the playoffs in the AFC. By the time they can field a team that has a real chance to compete, he will be on the downside of his career. Quote:
We are a QB away from that team, and at that point I would have no problem with a big name free agent. I think the real problem is that most teams don't really address their team building with that approach. They have tried to shortcut the building process through free agency, and that approach has always failed.

I think we can handle an injury or two now.
