Marcus Stroud

[Jay]

I still can't believe he's on our squad. This guy is going to be a beast. He is going to single handedly make our D better. Could he be the guy that pushes us over the hump and gets us in the playoffs?

[Sabres244]

I hope he does, he has to stay healthy though. If we can get a CB I think the defense will be much better than it has been for the past few season.

[Jay]

not to mention poz being healthy, and ko being healthy ...

this D with the same guys as last year, just healthy, would be much much better

If this Lito Sheppard rumor has any validity and comes to fruition, all bets are off. Should the Bills grab Sheppard and have a very good offensive draft in which they add a WR2, TE and FB -- and maybe a center -- I think they're certainly a 10-win team.

For now, I'm expecting between seven and nine victories.

stroud, poz, and mitchell should help and I think the need for a corner is overblown, when your defense isn't getting pressure you aren't going to have good corner play no matter who they are and stroud again should demand some double teams time for schobel and kelsay to earn their money. I don't think ko is anything special. But I know many disagree with me, I didn't see a significant drop off from ko to wilson.

however buffalo being what it is I will assume we lose 45 players to injury including stroud who goes an a coke binge and gets a year suspension

I imagine you've heard the "if stroud was his old self why would JAX get rid of him" question.

Obviously you've got to take that into consideration.. but I was under the impression that the move was purely financial as they already have a lot of money invested in the DL.

Even if Stroud has last something from his game -- maybe he has, maybe he hasn't -- he's still without doubt Buffalo's best defensive tackle. Thus, they've definitely upgraded there. He'll be good regardless.

Stroud is like a mean Pat Williams. That can never be a bad thing.

Exactly. Either way it's still a huge upgrade for Buffalo. Case closed.

I hear paul spicer's deal is incredibly cost prohibitive!

I've never seen a more overrated player because of one preseason game.

But his wife did join the range the day he was drafted...

I thought ti was his cousin who then stopped posting after we got some horrible questions and was made a supermoderator
