1. The four things that drew Mario Addison to the Bills
One of Buffalo's bigger free agent signings this offseason was DE Mario Addison. The former Carolina Panther, in his first interview with the Western New York media this week was asked what appealed to him about the Bills.
"I already kind of liked Buffalo from the get-go because we played against Buffalo last year in training camp," Addison said. "We had a joint practice and I saw the culture of those guys and it was very similar to the coach that we had in Carolina. Everybody played with each other. There were no exceptions on the team."
Addison also felt it would be easier to keep his game in top form facing Buffalo's offensive linemen in practice after what he experienced during the two days of joint practices in Spartanburg, South Carolina last summer.
"I liked playing against their o-line when we were in camp," he said. "Those guys were going hard. We were going hard and nobody got mad at each other. Everybody there knew they were there to work and that's what made the whole thing fun. So, in my mind, to be able to compete with those guys at practice every day I know it'll make me a better player, and I know I'll make those guys better."
Addison also liked the fact that the defensive scheme in Buffalo was essentially the same one in which he has posted 9.5 sacks or more in each of the last four seasons.
"The scheme man is what really made me choose there," he said. "It was Coach McDermott, and all the guys that I know, but the scheme, I fit the scheme. To have their leadership on the field and those guys coaching me will make everything much easier."
And the final factor in signing with Buffalo? Believe it or not, the team's color scheme.
"I love those colors. Dope colors man," Addison said. "I think I look good in that red and blue man for sure."
