Surrounding the quarterback(s) is a boatload of unproven talent. The Bills return an underrated interior to their offensive line (veteran center Geoff Hangartner and second-year guards Andy Levitre and Eric Wood).
Offense
Aug
Williams will likely start the season at nose tackle, but at 6′1″ and a generous 306 pounds, he doesn’t have the bulk to hold up at the point of attack as a two-gap defender. The Bills would prefer to use him in nickel situations as a pass rusher, as well as in 4-3 looks, which is why Torell Troup was such an important addition to the team. The 315-pound rookie will likely be asked to contribute on run-downs as a true zero-technique nose guard, and he’ll be asked to anchor the defense. Former Baltimore end Dwan Edwards brings his 3-4 expertise to the five-technique spot as the team’s highest-profile free agent signing, while defensive tackle Marcus Stroud will play the other side at end.
Can Chan Gailey take the reins ?
Significant Subtractions
WR Terrell Owens
WR Josh Reed
OT Brad Butler
DE Aaron Schobel (if he doesn’t decide to play, that is)
Nix and Gailey showed brass, uh, body parts in passing on a pro-ready quarterback, Notre Dame’s Jimmy Clausen, twice in April. Instead, Levi Brown – a seventh-rounder out of Troy – is the rookie QB of choice, with the Bills allowing three mediocre incumbents (Trent Edwards, Brian Brohm, Ryan Fitzpatrick) to duke it out for the starting job. Whichever player wins likely won’t matter, as there isn’t a franchise signal-caller on this roster. Edwards will likely get the first crack at the job, but he’s never had the opportunity to enter consecutive off-seasons in the same offensive system, much like Redskin-turned-Raider Jason Campbell. Perhaps if he locks down a starting job and performs well enough, he’ll earn a contract extension and a chance at that consistency he needs.
Conclusion/Prediction For 2010
Bills spent lot of time and energy re-tooling its defensive front seven,which was absolutely critical given that new coordinator George Edwards will be transitioning to the 3-4 defense. Holdovers changing positions include Marcus Stroud (three-technique DT to five-technique DE), Kyle Williams (three-technique DT to multi-technique nose guard), Chris Kelsay (defensive end to outside linebacker) and Aaron Maybin (defensive end to outside linebacker). Paul Posluszny will stay at inside linebacker, where he’ll be joined by free agent addition Andra Davis as starters. Kelsay and Maybin appear to have handles on the starting OLB spots, but as Kelsay is so athletically limited, reserves such as veterans Reggie Torbor and Kawika Mitchell, as well as sixth-round rookie Danny Batten, could be called on extensively.
Significant Additions
GM Buddy Nix
Head Coach Chan Gailey
Defensive Coordinator George Edwards
RB C.J. Spiller
OT Cornell Green
DE Dwan Edwards
NT Torell Troup
ILB Andra Davis
LB Reggie Torbor
Defense
Buffalo has a deep and versatile secondary, but there aren’t any huge stars here. True, Jairus Byrd had an outstanding rookie season (nine interceptions and a Pro Bowl berth), but those results aren’t likely to be duplicated, and durability remains a concern for him. He’ll start at free safety alongside either George Wilson or Donte Whitner, but Buffalo will play all four of its experienced safeties (Bryan Scott being the fourth). At cornerback, Terrence McGee continues to hold down a starting spot, while Drayton Florence will try to hold off third-year pro and potential Pro Bowl talent Leodis McKelvin on the other side. Reggie Corner adds quality, experienced depth at corner, but it remains to be seen how effective this secondary can be if a pass-rusher like Maybin (zero sacks as a rookie) can’t emerge.
Though touches could be hard to divvy up between Fred Jackson, Marshawn Lynch and rookie C.J. Spiller. Jackson is expected to see most of the traditional running back work (with Lynch spelling him),the team’s obvious offensive strength is its stable of running backs,while Spiller should slide into a jack-of-all-trades role similar to the ones Reggie Bush and Percy Harvin have taken up in years past. Jackson will be the chain-mover offensively, as he’s been in each of the past two seasons, but Gailey needs to find ways to get Spiller and Evans involved, as they’re the only legitimate home run threats on the roster.but the tackle position is a mess. Demetrius Bell and free agent addition Cornell Green are the likely starters at left and right tackle, respectively, but the offensive line is clearly not a strength for this football team, and could be a hindrance to the offense as a whole. Meanwhile, aside from Lee Evans, Roscoe Parrish’s three receptions in 2009 are the most of any Bills wide receiver that survived the ‘09 off-season; unproven talent like James Hardy, Steve Johnson, Chad Jackson and rookie Marcus Easley will compete to start for Evans, while second-year tight end Shawn Nelson will try to become a viable receiving threat, as well.

Buffalo,in reality,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],it sounds pathetic-but Buffalo have a biggest gain of administrative this off-season.Actually,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],now their front office looks and operates like a front office should,and they’ve been methodical and calculated in adding talent to the roster. These are simply too many huge question marks at the game’s most important positions (quarterback,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], offensive line, pass rush) for the team to seriously compete in 2010,everything about this organization is underwhelming at the moment.On the field, there’s nowhere to go but up, and they’re off to a solid, if unspectacular, start. This isn’t the worst team in the league, but in a very tough AFC East, 4-6 wins might even be slightly optimistic.
