PrintFive things the Bills will do this offseason : Buffalo Sports Daily
"Some maneuvers will have to play themselves out, but I’ve come up with a list of five things you can count on the Bills doing for sure. * Find a right tackle in free agency * Find a second wide receiver in free agency * Sign as much defensive depth in free agency as possible * Draft a left tackle with their first pick * Draft a nose tackle with their second pick"
Playing Bills GM- Volume V (Part 1) : Buffalo Sports Daily
Joe Pinzone continues his dream Bills offseason by signing some defensive free agents. He signs RFA 3-4 DE Marcus Spears from the Cowboys, sending them a third rounder, and UFA ILB Larry Foote to man the spot next to Paul Posluszny. He leaves Kawika Mitchell on the outside so his surgically repaired leg doesn't have to take the pounding.

"Along with the announced departure of Josh Reed, the Bills receiving corp will get a makeover. James Hardy would be the favorite to start opposite Lee Evans, although a veteran free agent receiver would make sense to ease the transition. Steve Johnson should also be in the mix to start, or play the slot. Don’t forget Roscoe Parrish, if Gailey can figure out a way to use him correctly."

BillBoard: Fordham's sleeper QB
"John Skelton is a sleeper quarterback prospect in the 2010 NFL Draft who started for 3 1-2 years at Fordham. He's a 6-6, 243-pounder who grew up in Texas but got no Division I scholarship offers. His size makes him intriguing. He was regarded by draftniks as anywhere from a fourth to sixth round prospect at the end of the college season."
Leadership questions dog QB Jimmy Clausen at the combine - USATODAY.com
"Some people are saying I'm cocky. I'm arrogant, I'm not a good leader, I'm not a good teammate," Clausen said. "The people who are out there saying those things really don't know me as a person. I'm a humble kid. I love having fun with my teammates. I have guys over to my house whether they're offensive or defensive guys, go in during days off, watch a lot of film with the receivers. During the offseason, I have a bunch of my guys come out to work out with me, stay at my house with my family.
Tackles should be available for Bills in draft : Buffalo Bills : The Buffalo News
The Buffalo Bills have a good chance to get help at offensive tackle in the first round of the NFL draft, if that's the position they choose to address. "I think the talent there is good," Bills General Manager Buddy Nix said of the tackle position. "I think the big guys in this draft is the strong point — on both sides of the ball."

Rex Ryan monitoring Bills' 3-4 switch - AFC East Blog - ESPN
"I guess that depends on 'Are you changing coverages or is it just the front you are changing?'" Ryan said Saturday at the NFL scouting combine in Lucas Oil Stadium. "There are several different versions of a 3-4. But it depends on your style. If the coverages are staying the same, it probably is not as big of a change as what you might think." Ryan then went on to explain the important of a two-gap NT in the scheme.

The title of that one article should be “Unfounded Leadership Questions from Notre Dame/Jimmy Claussen hater Todd McShay dog QB Jimmy Claussen at combine”
Seriously, anyone who says that after watching even a single game from this season has lost all credibility in my book.
I personally watched almost every ND game. I was very impressed with Claussen. He has the arm to make every throw, he definitely is very cool under pressure and I watched him play through injury, which tells me he’s pretty tough. He improved every year at ND under great pressure and scrutiny, I think he’s got what it takes at the next level, but what the hell do I know.
I won’t be disapointed if we draft him but I’d prefer drafting a LT, I really believe in fixing the trenches first.
Nothing left to say... the clock is ticking...
I don’t even mean the physical pieces. To say he didn’t show leadership in several comeback wins, playing through injury, making guys work in the offseason, missing the majority of the purdue game and leading a game winning drive, etc etc, is nothing more than notre dame hating. It blinds far too many people.

Good point
its funny that he is considered to have leadership issues while at the same time has a well known track record of late-game comebacks and keeping his team in the game despite its glaring weaknesses… sounds like a solid leader to me

The trade I envision sends Jason Campbell and Chris Horton to Buffalo for Donte Whitner and the Bills’ first round pick at #9
I think there’s a greater possibility of the Bills doing this trade for a 9th round pick in a 7 round draft than what this guy thinks.

* Draft a left tackle with their first pick * Draft a nose tackle with their second pick"
Banging my head against the wall again……
Not that I would dislike seeing that. Just that setting the fan base up t expect this will only make those same fans pissed when/if it doesn’t happen.
No weekend spent pantsless is a wasted weekend.
LOL. I thought of you when I clipped it. :-)
The fact that he’s saying anything that specific about what the Bills are gonna do isn’t too smart. In fact, we should remember this and tell him about it if he’s wrong. :-)

I lose more and more respect for Joe Pinzone every time he writes an article.
And that Skin’s fan is delusional if he think’s that trade would ever happen like he envisions.
He thinks Marcus Spears is a NT?
Derp

"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
My bad. He said DE. It was in the same paragraph he was talking about finding a NT.

Derrick Morgan
Kind of interesting that he’s talked with all the Bills defensive coaches. He’s not exactly a great fit in our new 3-4, so I wonder if they think he can man a RLB position or bulk up to play DE….Neither seems like a great idea when making a top 10 pick…

"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
Thing about morgan though.........he could probably add 15-20 lbs......
and get up to the 290 range……..then all of a sudden……BOOM 3-4 DE who is excellent defending the run.
Its not impossible………….he would definitely be worth the number 9 pick IMO
The only cure for a bad today is tomorrow.
