When you have almost no talent on defense signing brokedicks who used to be good gets you all pumped up.

As Chiefs fans we know that all too well. I remember being pumped about Kendrell Bell and Shawn Barber

No they aren't. There is concern among Bills fans about their linebackers...but at least half of the starters should be good. We've got some decent young prospects at the position, too.

I remember when I used to think that the Chiefs starters should be good and we should compete this year.......Then we would go 4-12

You don't have to think too far back, do you?

Barnett and Merriman should be good IMO. Ardra Davis is OK, but I think Kirk Morrison should fill that spot once he gets up to speed with the team. He's pretty good. Kelvin Sheppard has talent, as does Danny Batten, who didn't play last year. Arthur Moats was the guy that ended Brett Favre's career FINALLY. Not too many people care for Chris Kelsay in Buffalo.

I'm sure most of these names mean nothing to most people. The d-line should make the LBs better this year.

While I do like Barnett, there is a reason the Packers let him go and no offense but if he ended up in Buffalo something is wrong there. I think the Bills are improved but not sure how much.

And calm down with the too far back talk

considering it was less than 24 months ago I would think you could remember it, yes.

I remember a certain team with that record about 7 months ago, but an orange and blue haze is clouding me seeing any further.

Kirk Morrison sucks and cant stop the run to save his life.

we saw what he could do all those years in Oakland and they replaced him with stud in McClain. Then the Jags wanted no part of him after last season either.

The Jags signed your best LBer, and you guys replaced him with the Jags shittiest.

Whatever.

What happened was basically that Posluszny was replaced with Barnett. Morrison was a replacement for Reggie Torbor, which is a big improvement, ask me. I'm not trying to come off as thinking Morrison is all that, but he's not as terrible as you make him sound either. He's not even starting right now, even though he did start every game for entire six years in the NFL. I think he only had signed a one-year deal with the Jags. And he left Oakland after his rookie deal was up.

The idea is that someone will step up into that ILB position. I hope it's the rookie Kelvin Sheppard.

Well it will be Morrison's first in a 3-4 scheme, so him or Barnett are going to have to thump and take on blockers. I guess Barnett will, Morrison is going to have to get faster quick.

Morrison's knock in Oakland is that he was a poor run stuffer which is why they didnt resign him. The Jags opened up the check book for the player you should STILL have in Poz. Bills didn't go to plan B. has been LBers until they already missed out on the Poz sweepstakes to a team that just cut their starting QB.

Do I think the Bills are better than the Jags? yes. Do I think Poz made the wrong choice and signed with the shittier team? yes. Would the Bills be better with Poz than any of these other bum LBers like Kirk Morrison? Yes.

But Kirk Morrison isn't an upgrade is all I'm saying. He wasn't good in Oakland

dude Poz is NOT GOOD he is overrated all his tackles happen 6 yards from the line of scrimmage and he can't cover a TE to save his life. He got WAY overpaid in Jacksonville. No Bills Fans miss him, Barnett is an upgrade, especially in our 3-4

The thing about Poz was that he was drafted to play MLB in a 4-3 defense. He went to Jacksonville because they were going to play him as a MLB in a 4-3 defense...the Bills are trying to play more 3-4. It's really as simple as that, and it was beyond our control. They threw a shitload of money at him to boot. Poz was pretty good, and I wanted to keep him, but these things happen.

And Morrison IS an upgrade if you look at what we had. I'd say he's decent depth at the very least, something we needed. I've been to the Raiders sites, and they general had pretty good things to say about him there. He's not a world beater, but he's not a bad guy to have on your team.
