What happened to the Jheri curl?

[Donte Whitner lit up by Sammy Morris]

As sad as that play is, how many of you loved Morris when he was here? I did. I remember during his rookie year when we stunk, he was outstanding running the ball--yet the coaching staff never game him the touches he deserved. Only 7+ years later has he gotten the opportunity to showcase his talent.

 

Baffling to me is why the Bills let Sammy walk. Solid special teamer, standup guy, reliable backup rb and wouldn't have broken the bank as a former 5th round ufa. A versatile guy who actually plays well when called upon.

isaha robertson was never the same after earl cambell ran him over when robertson played for the rams. then he came here and did nothing.

 

He partied pretty good. And he did do a lot of coke.

Over and over it goes. Mediocre player, exceptional gift of gab.

['Jello Crowell open to returning!]

"Impact player"?

[Today I witnessed one of the best coach calls ever.]

How many timeouts do the Bills burn early in each half needlessly? They always seem to have only one left with 25 minutes left in a half.

[A Few Thoughts About The Game (and the season)]

Also, the Bills have to have the worst set of starting linebackers in the league. Ellison is routinely mauled. Mitchell takes plays off or suspends pursuit without being blocked. and though I'm willing to give Poz a pass for another year, he looks unexplosive if not downright unathletic.

[A Few Thoughts About The Game (and the season)]

I got a hoot when Dierdorf said that Shon-te was 'one of the hardest hitters in the league'. Do any of the announcers actually watch tape before uttering cliches about players they know nothing about?

[the Poz is close]

What this means is the Bills should have waited to sign Poz as an undrafted rookie FA.

[Revisiting A Trade Idea]

Larry Fitzgerald.

[Ko Simpson - Odd Man out]

Ko Simpson was never fast or explosive. While he may be a serviceable backup and special teamer, he runs stiff and linear and is oblivious in space.

 

Reminds me of a poor-mans Leonard Smith, another slowish stiff runner who at least was an enforcer via the cheap shot .

[A Few Thoughts About The Game]

3 plays in particular stood out to me, Royal running right past Whitner on the 70 yarder, another running play in open space where Whitner whiffed, and the INT he should have made if he was playing the F'ing ball.

 

On top of that there were several plays he showed up late after the tackle. No aggression on reads, no attacking the ball, and no feel in the secondary on assignments.

 

If you want to know why no one was around it's part of the FS's job to pick the side of the field you think the ball is going to. I watch him closely every game and he isn't a FS or a SS that changes games.

 

Kelsay has to go or be depth, same with Whitner, and Ko.

 

The one thing that's evident about the Bills safeties is that they are not very athletic (save for Scott who plays with some physicality ) or instinctive.

[A Few Thoughts About The Game]

EDIT: Never mind. I see you edited your post already.

 

I love Fitzgerald in a non-prop 8 way. Losing Peters would be tough assuming no replacement is around, but something about him screams minor malcontent.

[A Few Thoughts About The Game]

Somebody advocated trading Peters for Boldan. In my fantasy world, the Bills trade him for Fitzgerald. Big dominant kid who was born in Minneapolis and played hs and college in Pennsylvania. What cold?

[Anyone else thinking of #85 right now?]

I'm thinking about the peppered filet mignon and cold asahi that'll be done soon.

Tell Coy that David Carradine wants his quotes back.

 

Marginal player who will lapse into the anals of football history.

[Iraqi journalist throws shoes at Pres. Bush]

Can't stand Bush, but thought he was composed and cool like a cucumber. His bemused look took the cake - got to give him props on the whole reaction.

[Watching SNL tonight, and I have a question]

An audio clip from the mixing board from a concert of the younger Iglesias circulated a few years ago. He sounded horrible like a yelping dog. Apparently those acts that rely on elaborate dancing routines just yell the lyrics while out of the breath and in motion.

 

I don't know how they do it, but some how a cleaned up version is transmitted into the arena.

 

Howard Stern challenged Iglesias to come on air and prove he could sing. He came on the show and sang accompanied with an acoustic guitar. Great sport and sounded good on a small scale, though don't know how any of these 'performers' pull it off on a real stage.

[So when did Trent really injure the groin???]

The Imperial Brothel scene.

[Crowell]

Enough with Crowell. You really think the Bills lack of success this season boils down to a mediocre linebacker? If so, I got a trio of stellar DEs I'd like to trade you.

[Jennifer Aniston]

Those puppies are absolutely fake. Jen is an interesting case. She's certainly attractive but there's something cold or brooding about her despite her forced smiles and mutiple flesh baring spreads. Sure you'd want to unleash the piston on her, but I'm guessing with all the freon in there, you'd crack into a thousand pieces like a freezer stored charleston chew.
