Shades of Thurman. I like the humor, love the chip on his shoulder. It's nice to see Stevie takes some ownership of the record before he arrived; team guy.
-
Physically he reminds me of Eric Moulds. His play reminds me of Quinn Early. Nice to have around.

A gym in town is owned by a guy that was the strenth and conditioning coach for a 2 NFL teams. With a quick glance he can estimate how much mass you can carry relative to your joints and what not, and how much -and little- you should work to hit those targets. Pretty basic stuff, I know. I hear it every day, more is not better, most guys are doing way too much to recover fully, and many can't maintain mass if they're in the gym too much.
The trainers that work for the Bills are pretty sharp, even if they're the worst in the league. Stevie is not Aaron Maybin, undersized and desperately needing strength, upper body mass might just slow Stevie down and additional lower body strength may lead to more pulls and strains.
Plus he's a free spirit that will say anything when he's on a roll. He likes being provocative.

Let what go? Oh .... That's right. I forgot that Thurman Thomas and Jim Kelly are tattooed to 30% of Buffalo Bills fans' lower backs. Give me a break. They're both morons who couldn't win a Lombardi trophy. Once we finally win one, these guys will finally be as irrelevant as they ought to be. Meh.
I believe there is a lot of truth in this. The team that finally wins this will be Gods in this area. The 90's players will still be adored, but it couldl be very different.

Never thought about Marv's tenure that way. Well put.Pro bowl is voted on by your peers....players and coaches so most players believe it is more accurate and more credible than being voted All Pro by a bunch or writers. Arguments either way.
Anyways, Whitner is a very good player. In the end he and Byrd would have made a very nice tandem for years. Players in the league who game plan against him seem to think he is a good player....I'd take that endorsement a lot more than people on a chatroom who don't play against him every week or watch him play.
Yes, the Bills should have taken Ngata with that pick but it does NOT mean Whitner is not a good player. He will be a starter in the league for 10 years which makes it a VERY good pick.
Ironic how Marv oversaw two drafts that people blasted yet have produced 3 pro bowlers. I think it is more an indictment of turning over coaches and staffs every three years who have a different way they want to run things.
Good for Donte. He was always nice downtown when seen and friendly and seemed like a decent enough guy. He was a leader and cared a lot about the team and how we did....so I will take that anyday.

Chan and Wade are very similar, albeit in mirror situations- one defensive minded one not, one had the QB with the arm and no brains, (Johnson) the other has the QB with the brains and no arm. Both have DeHaven. Fans regret the firing of Wade so soon. Jerruh misses Chan, says he fired him too soon- Jerruh fired Wade too late, hell I dunno....
-
I believe Gailey is good enough to take the team back to relevance, maybe more. I hate saying good enough is ok, but it's better than I've seen 20 of the past 35 years with this team. I think a mediocre head coach with a stable offensive system, a top 10 qb, and a top 15 defense (we have 2 of these pieces) can go far in Decmber with a little momentum. It isn't likely to happen this year, but I fear big changes over tweaks right now. I think the team is closer in many areas that at any time since '04.

Pereira went Hollywood in an embarrassing fashion when FOX dialed him up. He acts like a jacked up karaoke douche at the local pub. Gruden is 1000 times better than a lot of analysts because he has an opinion, like it or not- and he has the credentials to support his view. Pereira may have held a position of significance with the league, but he comes off like an attention mongering wanna be- officials should be not be 'the show', during or after their careers. Eccch...
-
I love my seats; a push towards the fifty low on the upper deck will make you smile, the view is great. (ck signature)

Okay. I am convinced. We don't even need a line. Or a defense. I think we should just hire 5 fat guys off the street and draft ALL QBs this year. Only then will we made the appropriate commitment to the position. Nevermind that it's a weak class. Just do it. Keep all we draft and release everyone we have, because they suck.
How many different ways can you have the same conversation?
How many good defenses have been frittered away in the past 10+ years because of inconsistent QB play? A few. I think the overall talent assembled by Jauron in 2009 could win 10 with a stud QB. (Injuries and lack of QB play proved otherwise) Is the right QB out there right now? Prob not, but we have missed many over the past 10, we choose poorly. Bills fans have to stop accepting that a succession of O-lines (that Manning would make look great) are all to blame.

Flutie made a line that was getting ripped for not protecting Johnson look like the Hogs. His decision making was so much quicker the whole complexion of the offense changed. He skipped passes off the turf and went really cold at times, but he recognized where things were and went after them. Moulds' RAC ability was dangerous, esp. combined with Price's speed, and he found them. Brees could have a 3500 yard season here with a journeyman line placed in front of him. Price and Nelson are legit upper tier talent, Freddie is better than many.
You can't flat out blitz/attack a guy with a brain, they will get 6 at some point, and force the defense back in coverage. I was a bigger line critic until I saw the difference Flutie made and again when (dare I say it) Edwards took over for JP. Things loosened up and all the sudden the protection was better, because the ball came out on time. I know, since... not so much. He looked good early, though.

I hate this argument "fans don't know because they're not in this position". It's easy for ANYONE to say that about anything and still be incompetent. Fans that watch football every Saturday and Sunday for 15 years or more know something about football. So stop with the power card.
...but with your 15 years of experience, you have never interviewed anyone for a front office/HC position. Cowher just might have been so worried about his legacy he might not want to be here, the Bills cupboard is not full. Would OBD admit that? He might have said that he might want to coach, but reduced hours, Spurrier stuff. Cowher may simply think it's nice in the TV studio. We simply weren't there. What has been reported is that finances were not the issue. Take one Ralphie stigma off the table.
No offense, but fifteen years at the stadium is not equal to one on one time with the coaching prospects. An unworkable situation is bad, no matter how flashy the names are.
-
So what's her email address?
Spit Pepsi on my laptop. Thanks for that.
-
Joe Logan wants handwritten letters but an email campaign directed at OBD would be just as effective and quicker.
We should deluge OBD with emails about the Cowher offer/hire.
I can't find an email address on their website. Does anyone know Brandon's email?
I don't think they do or should care what a bunch of individuals- who were not in the room- have to say about a situation they know nothing (substantive) about. Perhaps hiring a guy that shared what he shared during that discussion makes him a bad choice. We don't know.
My Mom used to push me to date the polite, well spoken girl that wore the conservative shirts. We had recently broken up be cause she couldn't keep her legs together. Mom didn't know that little fact. Never told her, either.

Hopefully all these singing birds can calm down with all the "if he is so good, then why didn't they make him OC?" bs.
It's a valid question, there are a lot of almosts and could-haves surrounding Grimm. He is a sexy prospect (so to speak) but they come and go every year. Flame away, but a D Green or Billick or any 2 tier candidate that knows the BS of life as a head coach- can deal with that circus and get down to work seems the best fit for the starved fans of WNY. Dear old Marv was a somewhat lucky choice (kind Jauron-ish in KC) but he was not a complete (head coaching) unknown. (CFL really doesn't count) I get the upside of taking risks, but this isn't 1997 with all those recent playoff berths. After nearly 20 years in those seats, I can only speak for me, 10-6 would be nirvana. Just frikkin win.

January 15=new one day chip for Friend of Bill's, Thurman Thomas.
ouch.

Lot of folks like to talk about this Beast Mode stuff, but Jackson is a flat out freaking warrior. I actually worry about his health some times because he's so heedless and makes no effort to protect himself. Since he got here he's absorbed a bunch of killshots that would have put lesser backs on the shelf. I'd like to see him around here for several years and then walk away from the game with his faculties intact. If he has to get to the turf a little quicker to do that, he'll hear no complaint from me.
Fj seems to have the ability to leave tacklers with a small window, even if he gets popped. Thurman was like that, he'd angle, squirm, rotate his chest/head/knees away from a direct hit. I hope he has a long career here, he is everything we want on this team, imho.
-
I think he's saying that if Fred Jackson was a first round pick and had shown us what we've seen so far, that he'd be very happy with the results of the pick. The fact that he we dug him out of a slag heap just makes it all the more impressive.
Thank you Simon. Exactly. HE being the running back that is better than the first rounder named in the subject of this thread.

Don't understand what all the hatred is around April in WNY.
Teams/Fans in the NFL are hoping he signs with them. Quality teams - not the Raiders/Browns etc.
Why not bring him back?
Who hates Bobby April? I hate broccoli- certainly not a coach that decided to accept his pink slip a little early.
-
I'd be happy with Jackson's productivity if HE were the first rounder. His D3 past almost relegates him to being a 'cute' feel good story. The guy rarely makes the wrong decision- he is a stud, athletically and mentally. Lynch carries guys, looks real heroic at times, but he isn't half the back FJ is.
-
McCargo has the tools, we all saw the guy rip off the line of scrimmage in 07. I kind of got the impression that once he was in the back field, he didn't know what to do... body control for a big man is crucial.
-
Youboty may be the best CB open field tackler since Winfield. Time will tell.
-
We don't have a versatile enough tight end to be a patch catcher and an effective blocker. Rookies don't count, as the depth is ummm... not good.
-
totally agree! I bet ya Bill-a-cheat just laughed at that announcement.
I don't think there are too many secrets in the NFL. All the coaching staffs, GM's, players... they're so tangled the family tree has no branches.

It looked like he tried to drop the first one in to TJ but the air got it. The latter passes heading that way were thrown more 'on a rope'. I think he showed progression.
