You mean because we're going to get to play Delhomme, Anderson, and Sanchise every three games? One can only hope there are 3 equally pitiful performances in the future because that'll continue to cover the fact that there are receivers running wide open all over the secondary and that the safeties everyone is so enamored with are FAR away from their responsibilities when the ball arrives.
Byrd's got a lot of learning to do, but I'd rather have him on the field getting experience. He's made some bad plays in run support, still I doubt either Whitner or Scott come up with the the same picks no matter how bad the qbing has been. Will he grab two a game? Doubtful. But even considering the horribly thrown balls he's snagged, Byrd has demonstrated excellent awareness and h/e on the two tipped knucklers. I don't know if the majority of dbs make those catches. He's not well rounded yet, but he seems to a have a knack for being near the ball.
Face it - without those turnovers and shortened field, there's no way in hell the Bills offense scores enough to win the last two.
I'm not going rehash the Whitner debate. Solid player, sure. Hasn't displayed the ranginess or awareness on the ball at free imo, and though he can play physical, is too small at strong (especially when covering TE's). Plus, he's been injured for stretches the past couple of years. I wonder if it is an anomaly, or he simply can't hold up to the level of physicality he tries to exert.
Scott is basically a linebacker at strong with all the benefits and liabilities that brings (Louis Oliver anyone?), and Wilson's best attributes are that he's smart and a gamer.
The kid has to stay in.

How may Bills could actually net more than a 3-5 pick?
I would retain all the DTs not named McCargo. Denney and McCargo are likely gone at the end of the year. If some team offered a 2 for Schobel in the off season, I'd do it to get younger and save cash. Kelsay is worthless in terms of return.
The Linebackers are poor; journeymen, in development (Harris, Palmer) or worse. If Poz is your best, what would he net? A fifth?
McGee, McKelvin, and Florence are keepers. I like Corner and Yourbooty for depth. Wilson is a role player. Byrd is a good prospect. Whitner is ok, but in a salary dump what would you get for him (a 4?). Scott won't be around.
Offensively Evans is your best currency. I cringe every time I see him play with the knowledge that his career (as moulds) is lost in the post-Kelly Buffalo receiver vaccuum. His talent is largely wasted. What would be had for him? A 2nd? Marshawn might get a 3rd. After that, who else would even generate a pick? Parrish? A 7th?

Yea lets just hope opposing Qbs continue to be very inaccurate. I am not discrediting Byrd, because he has made a lot of good plays and has outperformed our other safeties, but some of his interceptions would have been big time completions if it were an accurate pass.
I agree with what you say, but the kid caught a couple of knuckle-ball tips and out-fought an opponent for a third. He seems to have awareness and H/E coordination that the other dbs don't have. His future is bright if he improves on his coverage skills and keeps working the angles properly.

Neither of the young OTs have any ass therefore no ballast. They stand around a lot watching shiite go bad.
Fitz looks nominally like a QB in regards to instincts (ie looks and throws deep, moves around, appears to be a gamer) but has little skill, less touch (Evans deep ball excepted) and horrible timing.
Poz is slow. He has good positional smarts and seems to hustle to get near the ball in pursuit, but looks like he has lead in his shoes. Never really lays the lumber either. Great bod, no explosion. Watching Patrick Willis today offered a sobering contrast in the LB play. Our LBs pretty much suck even with Kavika.
Marshawn brings new meaning to high motor. He actually is explosive, unlike the Bills DEs, but revs in place instead of forward. Granted the OL is completely abysmal as a unit, but Freddy has better patience, is more slippery and makes better use of space. I don't get why the Bills don't try to get him involved ala the NE game.
TO is afraid of contact. Forget the drops (the ones that were catchable). That reverse had a brief window of success, but he refused to square up, churn forward, and take the pain.
Who covers RBs out of the backfield? I saw the Panther RBs catching the ball short out of the backfield with no one on them. I was impressed that on several occasions, Bills DBS came up quickly (in pairs) to box the RBs in and limit the damage, but who has primary coverage for chrissakes?
I like Drayton Florence and think Corner had decent coverage on the Smith 4th down catch, he just didn't turn his head to the ball.

Man, if Whitner heads to the bench (and it's not likely given his paycheck) that puts the final nail in the coffin on that 2006 draft.
Byrd did things today Whitner rarely does. That's a rookie versus a fourth year vet.
Think Whitner makes the shoestring tackle on Smith?

Maybin, try taking a longer route to the QB next time....
Holy Shiite. The circumference on that rush!

This is how it works: When she finally unbolts her knees for you, you're indebted for life.

Agreed things spiraled out of control, the Point is Gruden chose Garcia over all the other QB's he had & Garcia let him down, losing game after game.
Let him down? Losing game after game? Dude was still shaking an injury when TB lost the opener in 2008 and then Greise took over. When Garcia came back TB won 6 out of 7. TBs Defense and lack of talent (sound familiar) was the huge reason for TB's collapse in the latter part of the season, which still netted a 9-7 season (when's the last time The Bills finished north of mediocrity?).

Best move the Bills can make right now. Garcia is no panacea, but someone that make the Bills competitive against the mostly shtty opponents they play and increase fan interest in this moribund franchise. I can't even watch the Bills anymore, not because they lose, but because they play an incredibly boring brand of football.
The guy can play even if the clock is ticking on his career. The Bills have garbage at the position and receiver talent rusting on the vine. At the least, he'll make things interesting with his legs, at best he'll hit some deeper balls than we've seen so far. He and Owens will be gone next year anyhow.
The dude played in Calgary, he can play in Buffalo. He'll make use of his offensive resources, he'll be cheap, and we'll score a little to make it a bit more fun in defeat.

Actually, ESPN has run a 1 hour show about the WFL. I've caught it a few times.
They talked about how teams couldn't pay players for a few weeks, how the
championship trophy was repossed at the championship game due to creditors.
They interviewed one guy who played with the Jets and ended up in the WFL in
the last years of his career.
It was very good. Haven't watched the USFL one yet, so I can't compare them.
Was the Jet John Dockery? I remember seeing a show where he walking around decrepit Randalls Island Stadium in NYC reflecting on the awful conditions during his time with the WFL. I think he have won SB lll with the Jets

I was actually telling one of my coworkers today (Vikings fan) about how ridiculous some of the comments are on this board, and mentioned the knocks on Winfield and Clements, stating that I thought they were both excellent, but that some fans here disagreed.
The Vikings fan thought the Winfield comments were ridiculous. A 49ers fan was walking by my cube at the same time, and said that he's still psyched that they have Clements -- said he's one of the best guys on the defense and thanked the Bills for letting him go.
Winfield was a keeper. I love how he thumps people and, based on my viewing this year, he seems to set the tempo for the back 7 on d.
Nate wasn't worth the jack - what corner truly is save for Asogmuha - though I think he's a very good physical corner (run support and coverage). He lost some weight to improve on last season which wasn't his best. He looks quicker this year, and if you can overlook the Roddy White game, he's played well. Let's face it, Nate gets burned cause he takes a lot of risks, not always wise ones.
The thing that pissed me off was that we got nothing for him.
-
All of the Vikings fans that live here would tend to disagree with that statement.
Winfield went out last week, and the defense collapsed against Baltimore.
I saw the game and I agree with you. I didn't realize Winfield was out until 41? was in and kept getting scorched. I've seen 5 of the Vikes games this year and Winfield still excels.
The knock on his coverage is way overblown.

I'd like to hear more on this matter.

F you.
Sorry Mrs. Posluszny,

Samson needs longer hair and a shot of Calcitonin to go with his roid neck.

Add Leinart to that list. It's not a fluke. We need someone who can thrive in sub-par conditions.
The assertion is crap. It's not geography - it's the player. And the pro game eludes most top college qbs. The draft hype machine serves only to push contract values skyward and build expectations to levels impossible to satisfy.
btw -Leinhart plays in the desert if he even plays at all.

Do you have chicken bone arms too?

just like his uncle butch..this guy is a natural playmaker
Gill Byrd is his pops. Don't think any relation to Butch.

'mental mistake'
'football field'
'ill-advised'

Shane Conlan could have used some advice.

geez what brougt him up? while we're on the subject of relatively obscure backs that had it all how about Lawrence McCutcheon?
Love it. My dad used to call McCutcheon (when with the Rams) 'Pizza Hut' given the copious adipose around his gut and ass.

Is it me or does the Jill (even by 1980 standards) at 4:49 of part 3 smoke any of the current Jills.

I'm bigger enough and would have told them to just make love off. But when you're a smaller guy, you gotta get creative.
More likely you would have gotten them both off. Your proposed solution proved not that you're big, but a big 'Mo.
