Levy looking like Snyder
For years now Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder was the buffoon when it comes to free agency. Well he has been replaced, well for one year at least, by Buffalo Bills general manager Marv Levy.
Bills general manager Marv Levy this offseason spent a hell of a lot of money to upgrade its offensive line. The view around the league is that was money foolishly spent.
You can say accurately that the money that tackle Langston Walker and Derrick Dockery got in the offseason was not worth it. Most Bills fans know that they over paid for the lineman, but that is not the question.
The question is how much have they overpaid each player. The answer is every frigin dollar that they got. Right now they have not even earned a penny of it.
Marhshawn Lynch has 57 carries for 228 yards. Which means that Lynch is running for a four yards per a rush average. The thing is I will probaby say that most likely a quarter of those yards came from Lynch falling foward after contact.
Yes, you can fault offensive coordinator for some of the offensive line short fallings. Like for one not running enough that they have a cohesiveness together to get going. Lynch only has 57 rushes in his first three games, and that comes out to 19 rushes per a game
Even if you add in running backs Anthony Thomas and Dwayne Wright’s 9 total rushes. That only averages out to 22 rushes per a game. Lets face it that is just not going to cut the mustard.
On the other hand the reason that those number of attempts are so low that on key plays early in the football game they come up short They pad their stats when garbage time comes around.
It jsut does not stop their with bad signings. The worst signing of them all is that overhyped, and over paid, starting right defensive end Aaron Schobel. They league leader in sacks already has five, and Schobel has only one and a half wow wee Ricky Henderson.
Lets face it folks the Bills cannot get it done when it comes to running a team. They are pathetic when it coems to signing free agents. Lets hope they learned their lesson and will be more wiser with money.
