Bills Difference Makers

Difference Makers

                Any team that plans on having any type of success needs its main source of difference makers in the lineup. As I briefly touched upon in my last article, Buffalo has its big three offense in the form of Fred Jackson, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Stevie Johnson. All 3 of these players are vital to the teams success each game. On defense this year, it’s going to be all about the defensive line. Mario Williams, Kyle Williams, and Marcel Darius will either make or break this team’s defense.

Fitzpatrick to Johnson: With these two players healthy and in the lineup for the entire 2012 season, the Bills will have a chance at beating any defense. Combine the gunslinger mentality of Fitz with the proficient route running and deceptive speed of Johnson, and you have yourself the classic quarterback wider receiver hookup. Look for both players to get pro bowl consideration next year, IF they can stay healthy.

Action Jackson: By simply putting the multitalented Jackson on the field, you make your offense that much better. The threat he poses to any defense is truly unique compared to any other back in the league. Not only can he run north and south, but he runs smooth as a waterfall, and can make guys miss when he gets to the second level. Jackson is also an exceptional receiver out of the backfield, and can even lineup in the slot as a receiver. His nickname “Action Jackson” truly says it all. The guy can do anything and everything.

Super Mario and friends: The revamped Buffalo Bills defensive line has been the main source of discussion around the team this entire offseason. Combine newly acquired stud Mario Williams with Kyle Williams and Marcel Darius and you immediately have the best defensive line in the AFC. With three guys that demand a double team on every snap, offensive lines are going to have to block one of them one on one, freeing up one of the other two to make the tackle, sack, etc.
