From the mouth of John Guy: possible positions to improve through free agency

I am watching the marv levy show on channel 16 here in Roch cha cha, and Guy came in and was asked point blank, What are you planning on upgrading through free agency?  Guys response was the defense.  Specific players were not said but he plans on acquiring ends, linebacker, and saftey.  The ends I have to question because with denney back, we should only need maybe a solid back up on the ends.  We need to get someone who can compliment Big John McCargo.  Someone that can stop the run.

Not really sure what free agenets will fit, but I'm glad he hopefully will be commited to offense in the first couple rounds of the draft.  He seemed high on Mike Gaines(blah-butter hands), so im thinking a big wide out with the number one pick.  I just want to see them improve the offense wisely because seriously, Trent needs to succeed or we are looking at another rebuilding process.  And I really feel Trent can succeed.  JP never had any weapons besides Evan so it would be nice to give him another wideout with talent, and a decent tight end.

Chris Brown seems to agree with me about rebuilding and the GM.  He was on the show and basically said, if the new GM comes in and tries to change what has already been built the last two years then we end up being further away from the playoffs.  Build on what we(marv, dick, etc) have built, because it is a stable org., imo, don't tear it down and rebuild(generally that's what a GM does, he has his own plan).

So in conclusion, I feel the Bills need to focus on improving the offense because we have some good players just not enough, and focus on defense through free agency and the later portion of the draft.  But its gonna be hard to figure out who fits best with us because the new GM might want to change the scheme.  So before we start throwing names out, we need to see the direction the new GM wants to go.

Hope Guy Isn't Telling a Lie!
I believe that beating the Patriots is Job #1. To do this I think we need a great defense. Therefore, I hope we focus free agency and the draft on D. I would be dissapointed if we burned a high pick on a TE or WR.

curious he didn't say...
Defensive Tackle or Corner... I would love upgrades at End, but they have a TON of money already invested in Kelsey and Shobel and adding anybody of significance there would be a diservice to other positions of need like the interior of the defensive line.

DE Money
I don't think you can take Schobel and Kelsay's contracts into consideration when looking to upgrade DE. If you need help there, then get help. I'm really pushing for either Ellis, or Gholston in the draft, I would hate to think that they would pass on a good DE in the first round because they already spent too much on those two. Besides you can always ask one of those two to redo their contracts if you have to.
who would have thought I'd miss Pete Metzelaars?
