Title: Bills - Milloy Signed!
Post by StegRock on Sep 2^nd, 2003, 4:09pm

W[smiley=ohshit.gif]W! That's pretty big! Apparently it came down to [smiley=money.gif] ! The news is ALL OVER "The REAL Feed". Here are a couple reports from "the Gridiron Newsstand"; at this point it's all just AP, BUT the second link below can afford you insight into what "Pats fans" in general are "sayin'":

This is a chink in the armor of a solid fantasy defense. How much of a chink is the question!? What are your thoughts? How would you rate them, especially vis-a-vis how you would have rated them before?

Keep them as a high-rated defense, don't move them anywhere. As a #2 Pats fan (behind my Eagles), I've had a hunch of this the whole time-- not to be cocky or anything ;). Thing is, both Harrison and Milloy come up and are hard hitters. BUT, they both are NOT great in coverage. So, we keep one hard hitter and keep Harris who's way better in coverage than Milloy. More INT's for Pats possibly and less long balls given up. We gain Milloy's contract $, and don't lose anything IMHO.

You are correct Steg, the Gridiron Newsstand IS the best source for NFL news.

This is a great signing for Buffalo, as they get a hard hitting safety and more importantly, a leader in the secondary.
