…Dary!! … Legendary!!
Hello everyone, I’m Jeffrey Rex!
As I mentioned on Twitter I’m going to begin picking the division winners and so on and so forth. In these posts I will try not to mention the lockout, but, of course they’ll have some sort of impact on rookies – but I will try not to mention the lockout a lot.
I begin with the AFC, more precisely AFC East. This division is a really tough division to guess because of especially two very good teams – The New York Jets & The New England Patriots. But nonetheless I’m going to review every team’s draft and opportunities in the coming season.
The Bills:
The first team I will review is the Buffalo Bills from Buffalo, New York. This team is a very tough team to evaluate because they have a lot of spirit – and therefore they can surprise a lot of people in the coming season. The squad was very interesting going into the draft and had a lot of needs in the draft. If we look at the Special Teams first here’s what I have to say; the Kicker Rian Lindell & the Punter Brian Moorman are the most interesting people to talk about – these guys are really experienced and therefore a lot of trust is thrust upon them. This brings me on to the Defence – The Bills had a lot of problems defending the run last season and therefore that was a very tough spot to fill – I believe they were the worst team against the run. On the other hand, this team was very good against the pass – they were the third best team against the pass, so that is a statistic that is worth remembering. This team also have a lot of interesting people on the defence; Jairus Byrd, Terrence McGee, Leodis McKelvin, Kyle Williams, Paul Posluszny & Shawne Merriman. These people definitely point towards a great season in 2011 – not to mention the draftees, some of which I’ll comment on in a bit. Offensively I’m not thrilled about this team, although I do have a couple of guys I’m really excited about. The team was the 18th best running team and the 24th best passing team – and also the 28th best scoring team; so definitely not a lot to be thrilled about in the statistic section. But still I enjoy the way Fitzpatrick plays, and I enjoy watching their games because they always give their all.
On the coaching front the Buffalo Bills have Chan Gailey as Head Coach – I really support the former Dallas Cowboys Head Coach, and I have a lot of faith invested in him. I definitely hope this team will surprise a lot of people this season – The team ended last season with a 4-12 record, so they definitely have to get better!
In the draft the Bills were given a good opportunity to bolster either their defence or their offense – because they had the 3rd pick in the draft. The team ended up drafting a total of 9 guys, 2 Defensive linemen, 3 Defensive backs, 2 Linebackers, 1 Offensive lineman & 1 Running back. I’m going to review their first, and the 3rd overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. The Buffalo Bills picked Defensive Tackle Marcell Dareus from the University of Alabama. He seems like a very aggressive and talented lineman, and I definitely believe this guy will help this team a lot, and hopefully he’ll help the team towards a better season – and a better running defence!
After I’ve focused on each team in the AFC East, I’ll try to guess their position in this division!
Once again I’m Jeffrey Rex!
And the next post will be Legen… Wait for it…
