If the players fully buy into it I see a division win. Really! No sh*t!
With the signing of Keith Traylor we have all the healthy parts to run a 34 FULL TIME! I'm not saying we will do it because I don't think we will. We will have some good balance on defense. I still remember people laughing at the thought of Willie Mcginest playing the linebacker position. He wasn't a "tweener". He was a DE. We've got all the parts to simply dominate on defense. Jason Taylor is the type of talent that is more than a pass rush specialist. He has had heaps of praise on his run support. It takes a special individual to do both. The thing about Dwight Freeney is that he moves so FAST that he cannot change direction as Taylor has done. Taylor has used quickness in change of direction throughout his career. That is what it takes to play the outside in the 34. HE CAN DO IT!
At the OLB I see three options - Seau, Taylor, or Crowder
On the inside- Thomas, Spragan, Moore, or Pope
The key is that the DE's (Carter, Holliday, or Bowens, or even Zgonina) have to know their role in the defense. They are the sacrificial lambs.
For the first time in a long time we have options for defense. Chester doesn't even have to tow the load. Chester and Traylor could alternate at the NT.
Matchups are key in this league. We have the option of running so many different players on the field that the offensive coordinator will not know what he is facing. I like it.
People forget this is largely the same defense that won 10 games WITHOUT Ricky Williams and a running game.
Take away the desertion of Williams. Take away the season ending injury to David Boston. Take away the indecisiveness at the QB position (I don't think Saban will make that mistake). Take away the Hurricane before the last preseason game. Take away the Hurricane prior to the opener. Take away the monsoon during the third game. Take away the injuries to both starting DT's. Take away the injury to the kicker. Take away the firing of the sorriest leader this organization has ever seen.
What would you have had left? Nine to ten wins.
Now add a Quarterback with a live arm, Ronnie Brown, Nick Saban, a real offensive coordinator, and one of the best offensive line coaches in the league.
I see at least ten wins. No homerism about it.

Vincent better than Howard and Thomas better than Poole (although Poole has a better upside if he was healthy)

I try not to pay too much attention to CB stats because 'good' numbers may not be a good thing. It could simply mean opposing teams feel more comfortable throwing to that particular player......if a CB gets thrown at enough he's going to make some plays. A high total of tackles out of the CB position could mean he allows a lot of receptions but ends up tackling the WR anyways. With that said I can't really give an opinion on who's better because I haven't seen enough of McGee to make an accurate judgment.......I do like what I've seen of Will Poole though.

:roflmao: so you're admitting that a "pop warner" quarterback beat you last season? :roflmao:
A college head coach? lol.. ok, he's coached in the pro's and in college, but he's a "college" head coach.. who happens to be, in many people's opinion, one of the top 5 coaches in football.. college or pro..
But still.. a pop warner quarterback.. that's too much.. admitting a pop warner quarterback is good enough to beat you isn't something i'd brag about..

The only reason the Bills will have a better pass defense than us is Phin safeties are nothing but solid question marks.

You have one questionable position??? What's that?? QB, Oline, Dline??? All three of those positions for the Bills are questionable in my eyes. I wish you Jill fans would wake up, just because your team won 9 games doesn't mean your team is poised to make a SB run!!

Troy was coming of a probowl year before he went down to injury. He was placed on safety because we had a bigger need at that position since McGee was holding his own. Anytime you are able to move your probowl cb to a different position means you're doing fine. I don't expect Troy to be a probowl cb but I still think he could be solid. Solid enough to be better than Howard or Edwards especially if he's 100% . :D.GreenMonster said:

that was a good point about 4 pages ago. i never said we were a SB team, just that the bills have less question marks than the fins do.
and we have been arguing over those "question marks" ever since.
do try and keep up... :D
