Mike Pucillo v. Todd Wade

[Beemnseven]

I was thinking about losing Dockery. It could be that he was far more of a significant player than any of us thought. If Buffalo hadn't offered such an outrageous amount of money, we'd be in much better shape, only waiting for Samuels to get healthy.

Why the hell did the Bills put that much money up for Dockery? I mean, it was almost Steve Hutchinson-type cash. I don't fault Dockery at all for taking it, but man, I sure hope this doesn't turn out to be what kills us this year.

One of the things that separates good teams from the bad is the ability for units who performed well from the year before not to miss a beat the following year. We really need for the O-line to carry over what they did in '06. If we're going to be in a situation that one group or another can't match up from one season to the next, then this thing will never get on track.

As for Pucillo, he MUST perform well. That's all there is to it. Things like this happen to teams like New England all the time, and there's always someone way down their roster who steps up and has a pro-bowl type season.
