I dislike Moran, but what Sal is saying here is no different than Moran. He specifically said Merriman was not arrested.

He's there, but he's not in pads, according to SalSports.

It's funny, there's a poster in the comments section of that article name "skoobyfl". Obviously, either the legend himself or a devoted fan.

Merriman is on the practice field right now, as a spectator--- I highly doubt that, if news were about to break regarding steroids and Merriman, he'd be anywhere near the practice field.

His metabolism is so "crazy" he can lose or gain 10 pounds in a 2 day span? If you weigh him in the morning you'll get a different number than in the evening? That explains the difference between 228 lbs and 255 lbs? The only illness that could account for his not being able to keep weight on is stupidity. Gaughan is right in that Maybin's frame is not right to carry the kind of weight he'd need to carry to be successful in the NFL. Its incredible that scouts all over the league didn't agree he was not a pro football player. He sounds like a sociopath.

I didn't hear the whole show, but he specifically acknowledged that he did tell Vick: "Whatever you do, don't go to Oakland". If he had said this about the Bills rather than Raiders, fans would be going berserk. As it is, Dungy was pushing for the Bills to sign him, if you recall.

I posted this in a different Maybin thread yesterday. It's from a Chris Brown blog from September 2010 before we played the Jets last year: "Jets head coach Rex Ryan knows Aaron Maybin a bit more than the average NFL head coach that doesn’t have him on their roster. That’s because Ryan’s kids went to the same high school as Maybin in Baltimore when he was the Ravens’ defensive coordinator." http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2010/09/29/ryan-know-maybin-well/

Quotes like that from Kyle require a DEEP VOICE, methinks. :beer: :beer: (one for each round Williams was passed over before being drafted)

Have there been any threads about whether or not the Bills should have signed Vick, lately? I'm sure all you need to do is start one to hear from those that were vocal about not wanting him at the time.

mrags, seriously--- thanks a ton!

It suddenly occured to me why Rex Ryan might be so interested in Maybin. Remember this from last season? "Jets head coach Rex Ryan knows Aaron Maybin a bit more than the average NFL head coach that doesn’t have him on their roster. That’s because Ryan’s kids went to the same high school as Maybin in Baltimore when he was the Ravens’ defensive coordinator." http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2010/09/29/ryan-know-maybin-well/

If I were drinking milk it would be coming out of my nose right now.

Did you watch him against Chicago this past weekend? He literally could not get past the line of scrimmage unless he took a wide berth, meaning he was still 6-7 yards away from the QB at all times (1 play he was able to curl around and hit Hanie from behind after he delivered the ball). He was the only member of the front 7 to get no push at all. This is his 3rd year, and he hasn't learned how to maximize his strength, quickness, or football intelligence. Systems (Jauron's D and Edward's hybrid D are all different enough) have nothing to do with it, he's just not a football player. If Dave Wannstadt doesn't find him useful then I'm not sure what D coach's opinion would matter, anyhow.

Apparently, the 49ers are out of the Mayhem Sweepstakes. http://twitter.com/#!/MaioccoCSN/status/103654449507074048 LOL

Chan Gailey On Left Guard Switch, Tuesday Practice http://www.buffalobills.com/media-center/videos/Chan-Gailey-on-Left-Guard-Switch-Tuesday-Practice/a2354bc0-487f-425b-b2e0-f6a67fc5000a

A followup post from ESPN's NFC South blog and John Clayton regarding Stinchcomb's cap implications... it doesn't sound like there were any, as far as keeping him on the roster for 2011 and 2012 is concerned. He's going to be paid and count against the cap with the same figures whether or not he's on the roster. http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcsouth/post/_/id/23748/more-on-stinchcombs-cap-implications

You don't need to reveal your sources. I bet $15 mil of Aaron Maybin's money that one of them is the original poster of this thread, Silvercrw, who joined TSW 24-December 05.

Clearly, you must have had a different login when Bledsoe was signed. Your join date is 3+ years after Drew was traded to the Bills. Posters with legitimate inside info have been greeted warmly and are usually sought out (ie, nevergiveup) from time to time. If you need to remind everyone how important you are then we'll all assume you've never had any info which is usually the case with chest thumpers. I'm sure you won't be offended that we're not all fawning over you.

Whenever Maybin is hailed by someone as being the Bills' worst alltime 1st round pick, the same list gets trotted out on cue in debate--- I think there's really no question that Maybin is by far the biggest bust, but either way, Cousineau doesn't come anywhere near being as that bad of a pick. The Bills turned him into Jim Kelly with the 1st round pick they received from the Browns, and Cousineau led Cleveland in tackles 3 consecutive seasons twice making the All-NFL team. Jetting to the CFL cut into his career no doubt, but he produced while in the NFL and the Bills came away with the greatest player in team history. Maybin has literally done nothing, and following his incredibly poor showing against the Bears this weekend it appears he will never ger another chance.

Chan must have seen something he liked in him--- he was signed late last year and even "started" a game for us, making his first career reception in the win in Miami, and re-signed for 2011.

I was incredibly optimistic at this time last year, but the team's start to the season brought reality crashing down like a ton of bricks. Obviously, the positive signs that developed as the season progressed led me, and others, to believe that the optimism wasn't necessarily so out of line--- but it became evident that patience was key with young talent and a coaching overhaul with new schemes. The defense was atrocious all year, though--- but many, if not all, of the front 7 issues have been addressed, which includes the hiring of Wannstedt. So yeah--- aside from becoming more patient, I didn't learn my lesson from 2010's disappointing start and will be right there with you with you in line expecting special things. Unfortunately, Kevin Boss signed with the Raiders this morning.

Replace "bodybuilding" with "tweeting" and this description matches Donte, as well

I agree completely. Crowder's strength is stopping the run, which would make him an excellent complement to Barnett and allow for Sheppard to grow. Linebacker depth is necessary with 3-4 defenses and the more talent at the position, the better. Crowder's love for George Edwards is well documented, the only question mark is his repaired knees.
