I was happy to hear what Chan said about Chris Ellis in today's presser! He said that when camp started, that Ellis looked AWFUL (gotta love Chanman's honesty), but since then has made a lot of progress and as of today- can "go out on the field and play"!
This corroborates what some of you have reported in your camp reports. It's quite a relief to see that one of our higher round draft picks- someone who we all though was well on his way to being labeled a "bust"- might just work out!
GO BILLS

A review of the radio interview of Chan Gailey by Tim Graham. Don't know if its been posted yet. Liked what Chan had to say.
Then Tim let this one fly "The Bills would need to break out of an organizational funk to reach the playoffs, a feat that might be more miraculous than the Dolphins rebounding from 1-15 to win the division in 2008."
Man he is a hater. I mean its like he thinks "well obviously the dolphins could do it, but no way the bills could ever rebound like that." I'm not saying we are gonna turn around and win the division, but I mean it is in the realm of possibility if the dolphins could do it.
I can see where he's coming from though. Sure the Dolphins had a miserable year, but they had recent success prior to that 1-15 season. Unfortunately, losing has become an institution here in Buffalo with the all of the GM/Coach changes we've had.
With that being said, I really feel Nix & Gailey are the right people to bring respect back to this franchise. It might take a year or two (and releasing AS is sure giving the haters all the ammo they could possibly want) but we will improve.

I've got a new avatar in honor of Rex Ryan.
That's awesome, where did you find it-- or did you photoshop it yourself? I'm actually pretty proud of my google+paintbrush Avatar I just put up tonight. It's my first!

THE WANG IS SOFT....sorry had to say it...He is going to be injury prone I'm afraid....
We've all heard the term limp D**K. Well, what if Wang hurts his leg and begins walking with a limp.
... or if he gets bruised

Well that's football. But it seems we had just as many dinged-up players at Camp Jauron.
PTR
....and probably just about as many as other teams had, currently have, and/or will have.

The bottom line, I think is that both Hanesworth and Shanny are justified in their actions. Shanny for wanting to inflict punishment for Hanesworth's "me first" attitude, and Hanesworth for not wanting to play a position that he is ill suited for.
That being said, Hanesworth shouldn't have accepted the 21 mil, and Shanny (like one of you just said) needs to realize that he is in a pissing contest that he cant win.
Both need to grow up

I'm not sure what to think about Rex's comments stating that Revis can hold out until the day before the first regular season game and still start. The guy deserves to get paid appropriatly to his skill level and I'm not crazy enough to ever expect him not to start due to how much he means to that defense, I just think thats a very odd message to send to your team. If you have a roster full of stars and openly say if your good and you hold out you'll still start, how's that promote a work ethic?
1. Don't be puzzled by RR comments. Prob just the bad tofu burger he ate last night coming back to haunt him!
2. I don't think any of RR's players can be too happy with what he said- especially since that locker room seems to be filled with "me first" A-type players. Hopefully, this is just the beginning of what proves to be a train wreck of a Jet season.

BS They are just telling schobel they aren't cutting him. He is going to have to retire to not play. Thus he gets no money and the Bills still retain his rights. He will be in camp the same week Favre reports and will be the starting OLB.
I dunno. Nix seemed pretty settled on the fact that AS is DONE!
Edit:
....done at least playing for the Bills.

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts
Not real positive news about Maybin, Hardy and the LBs

Within a barn of the intended target?
+1
I can throw the ball 73 yards too. I just have to do it in 2 throws!

They can't even sign Spiller, so they're not trading Lynch.
Well everyone seems pretty high on this new RB (Bell is it- I forget his name). If Chan and Nix really could get some serious pay dirt for Marshawn from the Bronc's AND- and this part is key- they think that this Bell character can be an every down back like Marshawn is expected to be this year- then I say do it.
Otherwise, NO. Freddy needs to rotated to prolong his longevity. He is too valuable to this franchise to risk using on pretty much every down. Spiller is not the every down back that Lynch is, so who would that 3rd RB be if not Bell?
-
Thanks for the reports.
While I was reading I kept saying to myself "man, Reggie Troubor seems to be making a lot of plays". Lo and behold, you finish your report my specifically calling him out. Sound like he might be a very solid FA pickup
Also nice to hear that Roscoe is coming along and that the team is practicing play action.
How do our NTs look?

First off, I know, I know...nothing is carved in stone, it's just a pecking order because one has to exist.
But our QB is going to be Trent. Recall how he played when he first started playing for us. Remember how impressive he was. Recall how his teammates were rallying around him, with some saying that he will be in the same discussion with some of the best in the game today. Then he got his noggin bashed in, teams picked the lock of our offense, and our offensive coaches were never able to readjust and catch anybody by surprise anymore.
Last year everyone had had enough of Trent because our offense was just horrid - no matter who pulled the trigger. Trent's regression was due to a colossal failure of COACHING and preparation. Nobody would have fared well with the young, inexperienced line in front of him and a first-time coordinator running a simple bastardization of his own version of Turk's offense, which was his modified version of Fairchild's version of Martz' offense.
Last year was an absolute joke offensively. A desperate HC cuts his LT and OC a week before the games begin and gives the responsibility to a first-year QB coach? And then DOES NOT HIRE A QB COACH to keep an eye on Trent's mechanics. Unbelievable. The only team in the NFL with no QB coach. Read between the lines with the comments Trent made this year comparing last year to this year. It was a horrid operation and no player had a realistic chance to be productive.
We finally have an offensive HC, and a wise one with lots of experience. We might not be a playoff team but we're going to be fun to watch again because we're going to participate in high scoring games and not those 6-3 snoozefests that were a constant exercise in futility.
Trent is going to shine - he'll have his best year this year. Actually, I think any one of these guys would have their best year under Gailey. But Trent will earn back the respect people gave him in his early days.
Besides, when it comes to release, nobody on the roster comes close to Trent. He has an exceptional release and a much better deep arm than he's given credit for.
Betcha
Like somone else said, it's hard to argue with a lot of your facts; But I'll give you another fact-- TRENT HAS A GLASS JAW. Face it, even if he can regain his early '08 season luster, he's always a hit away from going down. Shite, if he gets his brain scrambled again, he might be done in the NFL. And then where does that leave us. . . WITHOUT A QB!
It's gotta be Brohm with Trent as a backup.

Mike Williams, former Buffalo Bill, will miss the entire 2010 season because of blood clots. Anyone ever heard of this happening to other athletes where they miss time?
Clots are no joke. I know Phil Harris from Deadliest Catch had one that nearly killed him a few seasons ago. Wouldn't be surprised if it in some way contributed to is untimely death (along with his smoking).
Get well soon Mike Williams

I heard the story third hand, and didn't probe much. I assumed since he was renting here they were staying in texas. Last i had heard, that was the plan. But yeah, good stuff.
My whole issue with your original ORIGINAL post was that you kinda took a private convo between friends and made it PUBLIC! Assuming that it's true (and it may very well be), why would you secretly write down private things that a guy said when he was drunk and then post those comments a year later on a message board. That's not what friends do to each other. It smacks of underhandedness
Sorry, but that's how I feel
-
INDEED!
I also like this quote from Freddy J:
''No TVs,'' added running back Fred Jackson. ''He kind of felt like it was a spa in there. He wants us to go in there and work out. And I think that's what they're trying to nail home. Guys are buying into that.''
There's NO WAY we finish worse then 8-8 this year

or the L.A. Times..
Even better!

It would be funny if the JAX naming rights were sold to PODS... you know, the MOVING and self storage solutions company....
-
Yeah, I would pass on spending $4 M on this guy again. Sorry but the run is done, I appreciate his professionalim.
Completly Agree. I'd much rather see him go to a team that is ready to take the next step, than to the Bills who we know aren't there and also need to develop their younger players. If we were on the bubble, then sure. I wish him the best and hopefully he can help the long suffering Bangles Franchise.
Very happy that he didn't go to the NJests

I worked at Channel 5 in Boston way back when. One of our promo campaigns used the saying "We give 105%". It regularly pissed me off, and I was not shy in saying so at dept head meetings...or pretty much anywhere.
My feeling was, not only is giving 105% impossible, it is LESS than the standard 110% which is regularly used by moronic marketers and sports announcers. There was even an antiperspirant commercial at the time that claimed it gave 110%. So we, in effect, were giving less than underarm deodorant. I guess it seemed to me that, if you were someone stupid enough to be swayed, in any way, by the claim "We give 105%" then you might likely conclude we were downright lazy!
This made me laugh. Thank you

And yet their cupboard is far better stocked than ours right now... they have a franchise QB (we don't), a top-tier WR playmaker (we don't), a capable offensive line (we don't), and drafted the best player in the 2010 draft (we drafted a third down specialist).
I wouldn't say that. In the race to the playoffs, we will surely beat Detroit. With good coaching, we coulda been there last year or even the year before.

I've had several positive Bills dreams lately, including 1 in which the Bills were up 30-something on the Fins in the 2nd quarter. I remember it was a home game and the crowd was electric. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come rather than wishful dreaming
-
I would say he most resembles, that RB from Clemson-- whats his name... CJ Spiller
-
First they have a player who left the scene of an accident, and now this. If the Dolphags don't be careful, they will end up being mistaken for the '09 Bills, or worse- the Bangles....
