Buffalo Bills
For many optimistic Buffalo Bills fans, the upcoming season was supposed to be one for second-year linebacker Keith Ellison to break out. The 2006 sixth-round pick from Oregon State had a strong rookie campaign, adding 65 tackles and an interception in 14 games, and an even better training camp, where he a turnover-forcing machine.

Wire was moved to strong safety not free safety as a rookie. Also he didn't lose his status as a starter do to poor play (he did have difficulty with coverage, but the defensive scheme the Bills were running used the SS more as an extra LB at that time), but because the Bills picked up Lawyer Milloy (spelling) the week before the season opened when the Pats made him a suprise cut right before the begining of the season.

Thank god my work isn't on display for the world to see as I'm sure that I would not fare as well as the writers at real football 365, other than the rare mistakes you make I enjoy your articles a great deal, keep up the good work. (Eds. note: We apologize for the error regarding Wire's position, swillster. It has been fixed. Your feedback and compliments are much appreciated.)

Coy Wire is one of the few players who has consistently endured through the new regime and his work ethic has been touted highly in the local press. I have high hopes for Coy but I am in the boat that, like good ol' JP., its time to shine or ship out.

Good Luck Coy.

Conner, let's be real. The only way Wire or an LB will succeed is if the DL can keep the OL off of them. There are a couple of DT's (Jimmy Kennedy)that are on the waiver wire that are better than Tin Anderson(not a typo, he gets bent out of too many plays). Also, I hope the Bills sent a line to Aaron Glenn. Not only is he a good CB, he is a good return guy. I think he would be a upgrade from Jason Webster.
