  1. The Bills voiced confidence in their new left tackle a day after releasing veteran Langston Walker. Bell practiced fully for the first time Wednesday since straining his back two weeks ago.

     

    “He’s very athletic,” said Bills offensive line coach Sean Kugler. “He has the ability to recover when he is out of position. He’s a competitive kid, and he works at it. He loves the game of football, and those are the guys we’re moving forward with.”

    Seems like Kugler was telling us why certain OL aren't here anymore.

  2. 44 is one of my favorite numbers.

     

    Years ago 44 was a popular number for the featured back in the NFL. Now its seems to be worn by fullbacks who mainly just block. It seems to me John Riggins and the late John Stephens were the last featured backs to wear it.

     

    The other way of looking at it for those who don't want to see anyone wear it is at least Dubenion gets mentioned because of Omon wearing it, and people may remember Albert's accomplishments when they see it worn.

  3. The Rex-a-Roarus said this when the Jets hired him...

     

    "My dad's considered one of the greatest defensive minds in the league. I'm not there yet," the son said. "But I want to be a better head coach than my dad. I'm not afraid to say it."

     

    "I think our fans are part of our defense in particular," he said. "Obviously, they're a part of our whole team, but you can see the value of your fans in how you play defense at home. I bring this up because I'm excited about this opportunity. This is going to be great. This is a great marriage. The style of defense we're going to play with our fans — whoooo, it's going to be rough on people."

  4. '2' considers someone a good teammate only if they agree with him.

     

    More important than ANYTHING to him is being the center of attention.

     

    Following rules does not get him attention, so he causes trouble since that's what it takes.

     

    He's messed up personally, I'm not judging him, the evidence does that.

     

    Like one columnist said, 'he's built like Tarzan, but he plays like Jane.'

     

    No mental toughness, that's why blows up at every little thing.

     

    Putting faith in any person who has acted like this for years always leads to disappointment.

     

    This is not a team first guy, so realistically can it go well here?

     

    People say its only a one year deal.

     

    But the wreckage he leaves lasts another year at least.

     

    Why, because he turns teammates and an organization against one another.

     

    Being a fan since 1964, I hope against hope it goes well here though.
