I love the Jerry Gray hire as DC. Shallow, you're a Bills fan, what do you know about Jerry?
Chris Palmer named OC today. He's known to be a QB development coach. Over 20 years experience in the NFL as a HC, QB coach, OC, etc. I'm on the fence about this guy. He coached in the UFL last year. It is a positive sign that he's been hired by Bill Parcells and Tom Coughlin on two separate staffs. They obviously think highly of him. He's worked with some great QB's (Eli Manning in his super bowl MVP year) and some terrible ones (Couch & Carr).

I'm trying to remember what the D was like when Gray was DC. I was left very sour after the Flutie trade and gave up on my boys for a couple years out of disgust. He came with Williams I know that, but did he stay when Mularky came in. I remember almost making the playoffs in 04. Had we started well in that season and beaten the terrible 04 Raiders and the not so great Jags we would have squeezed in.
I do think our best defenses since Wade left were in the Jauron era. We just had zero offense. Losman really was a joke. I don't even think McDaniels, Wies, and Jesus combined could make him a winner. Mularky never had a chance. He really fucked us up. We traded up to get him in the first round when the next QB picked late in the draft was Matt Schaub. But the really funny thing is what we traded up for. We traded our 2005 first round pick, which was guarantee to be high, and a few picks in the 04 draft, and because these idiots thought Losman was a prospect they avoided picking a QB at all for a couple years. Had they just stuck with whoever they could get and not traded the 1st round pick in 05 they would have drafted a QB with that pick. Do you know the highest available QB was in 2005 draft with the Bills #20 pick? Well that would have to be the #24 picked Aaron Rodgers.
What a fucking joke. It makes me mad thinking about it. Mularky would have turned Rodgers into Matt Ryan, like he did Matt Ryan, and Rodgers would have flourished even more than Matty, while our defense wasn't half bad to begin with.
Long story short; Gray is the closest thing to Greg Williams as DC as you're gonna get, so that's a good thing. The problem is unless my dreams come true you're going to have to play Peyton Manning twice. Not to mention a newly crowned by me playoff team Houston Texans with Wade on defense, twice.

Chokers are expected to win but lose. Teams with no defense are never expected to win in my world. Wade Phillips is a rock solid on defense. I'm calling it now, barring major injuries, the Texans will be playing in January of 2012.
