Yea...it takes more than being big to be a good football player... Stroud's injuries are a huge issue.
can't understand that logic, but i guess your entitled to your opinion. hard to give grades right now, but i'm gonna say we take the division, in terms of FA. the dull phins are looking better, but my hatred blinds me. over all, i'd have to say cleveland, and the vikes, really improved. if you ask me, we're stll gonna do something big. i can just feel it!!
Stroud's injury is troubling -- big guys don't do well with bad feet. Having said that, though, I am always worried about the Bills -- they have had the NYJ's number far too damned often of late. I was very happy to see that they got their ass handed to them by the NYG this year. I just wish it was the NYJ handing it to them instead. The main reason that the NYG stomped them so badly was because the NYG OL gave Manning time to throw the ball down field, and they opened up holes off tackle so that the RBs could get into the secondary. Back to the OL.
Don't believe the hype with Marcus Stroud. I'm here in Jacksonville and have had a chance to cover him through most of his career. Stroud had micro-fracture surgery on his ankle last off-season!! Trust me when I tell you, he's done!!! Marcus Stroud will not sniff another pro-bowl, in addition to not being a viable star quality player. Jack Del Rio knew what he was doing when he made the deal; the Bills just happen to be the suckers to go for it. As much as Jack prides himself on defense, he would not let a player that had star quality go, even if it affected the salary cap! Remember, Stroud was suspended for roids/HGH last season (4 games) for a reason. Even he knows that he does not have it anymore.
I have no problem giving the Bills credit for the moves they made. If Stroud works out, he's a top 10 DT who is virtually unmoveable. Mitchell is alittle overrated but add the very least add speed and depth to the D. W/ that said, you ca't discount the Jets finally finding the NT for the middle of their 3-4 D, nor signing an all pro calibur guard to stick between 2 former first rounders.
They're the Jets. No one will ever call them the best at anything, except maybe guarantees. I am worried about the Bills' defense, however. Posluszny is an amazing player.
