Lights Out-Shawne Merriman (UPDATE: Merriman is now on the Buffalo Bills)

This acquisition tells you how bad the Bills organization is:

The Bills recently this past off season transformed their defense from a 3-4 to 4-3.....

Shawne Merriman is OLB in a 3-4 D...maybe he can play in a 4-3.. but why even claim him? when your team is 0-7 and Shawne hasnt played in a 4-3 in his pro career...

I'm starting 2 like TT more and more by the year....

GO PACK

yea Merriman is gonna sink so far into irrelevancy now thaat he's on the Bills...their entire organization is totally screwed from the bottom all the way to the top...I dont even think maerriman can change how cursed and bad they truly are...Poor Bills fans

I'm pretty sure they run a 3-4.

Lately they've been running a hybrid because of the complete lack of run defense, but I'm pretty sure they have a 3-4 defense as of this year.

Bills scrap 3-4 defense amidst historic slump | ProFootballTalk.com

The Bills run a 3-4...

No they don't. As a poster said earlier, they scratched the 3-4, because they couldn't find players, and re-installed a 4-3.

Now, if they're gonna go back to the 3-4, it's another thing.

But they do not run a 3-4 right now.

Wow a great player in Merriman is now the new Bills MVP

Oh yeah thats not great

I hope Merriman has a resurgence and averages 3 sacks a game. Packers won't see the Bills for another 3 seasons. Hope Merriman makes the Pro Bowl every year.

The Bills wont get 3 sacks this season never admit with Merriman lol

wow
they run a 3-4?
do they know that?

they dont have the LB's to run a 3-4.....

From what I've read today:

The Bills started the season running a 3-4. They've slowly been converting back to a 4-3. In recent games, they've been running defensive plays out of both formations. In a sense they're running a "hybrid" defense.

My opinion:

They don't have the LB's to run either. Aaron Maybin isn't even ever active, lol.

They could've had Matthews...

Merriman is now with the Bills. That didn't take that long to pick him up, now did it?

Damn, did I call that yesterday morning or what? :jester:

I figured since rumors were rampant about them wanting AJ Hawk, claiming Merriman would be a logical choice.

Sounds like sour grapes.

Considering we couldn't have signed him if we wanted to, I'm not really sure what there is to be bitter about.

Lol, and Orakpo. That's the Bills though.

Exactly. He didn't get past the top team on the waiver wire, so we had no shot even if we wanted him.

Surprised people aren't bitching because we didn't make a claim for Moss.

Who wants Moss and Merriman In my opinon they are both drama queens, no team wants drama queens in it

with the way our team is run, everyone should know we were not going to get moss or merriman. we depend on young guys and drama free players

They are both past it anyway!

Welp, 15 minutes into his first practice with the Bills today, Shawne Merriman tweaked his right leg and left the field:

Twitter / Adam Schefter: Can't make this up. RT @sa ...

HAHAHA Now that is Funny

Wow...

Yeah, I almost feel bad for the guy. Obviously there's no indication as to the extent of his injury, but damn...
