Agree 100%. Cromartie doesn't seem logical as a McKelvin replacement but he could be a safety candidate if they can get his salary demands down. Even there, however he'd be a very high priced backup behind Graham and Williams.

Actually 2 fumbles, with 1 lost. But either way it's about average for a RB. I think the NFL average is somewhere around 1 fumble per 100 carries (unless you're NE of course). Key will be to see what happens when his work load increases.

I'm more worried about fumbles than injuries with an upright running style. The injury concern comes from guys who try to run people over instead of avoid them. Backs who last always seem to avoid getting hit square. Guys who consistently try to plow over DLs an LBs don't usually last.

My favorite play from that video series is the second one, where Corbin Bryant starts out behind Mario Williams and then, by running while Mario is walking, gets in on the tackle. The best part is that he has to juke by Mario to get around him after Mario stops cold in front of him.

Maybe the coach was hitting on him. Answer should have been: "Why, are you looking for a date?"

Johnny Cocharan successfully cast doubt on the entire LAPD. He basically implied that they are racist and incompetent, so how can they possibly be trusted to testify, investigate and collect evidence against a black man? So, even though there was plenty of evidence it was invalid because the LAPD collected it. If they had found a bloody knife at the time then he would have just said that they planted it or improperly collected/stored it or whatever so who knows if it was really OJs. I honestly don't know of anyone who though OJ was innocent at the time. Even my black friends who were happy with the verdict were happy because it cast light on what they say is systematic police discrimination and abuse against black people, not because an innocent man was set free.

That's correct. OJs acquittal had nothing to do with lack of evidence. It's always about race. Always.

I'm a little surprised. If he was really willing to renegotiate his contract then he would have been a decent backup. Better than Butler or Brooks to be sure. Even if Cromartie is the plan, I seriously doubt that they can sign him for less than McKelvin would have taken. Maybe they couldn't reach an agreement on a renegotiation. They certainly couldn't keep him at the current cap hit.

On the other hand, this offense suits his skill set very well and he may have trouble in another setting. That's worth something too. The Bills made it clear when they dumped Levitre that they don't value guard play enough to pay one like an all pro. If that's what Incognito wants, then I have little doubt he will be released. Bills fans are cheap.

You say that Taylor can throw the ball like it's self evident when it's not. Maybe I'm missing something, but can you name a game this year that Taylor won for the Bills by throwing the ball? Maybe week 3 vs Miami? Maybe. He didn't have a 300 yard passing game all season.

I think your "analysis" is way too simplistic. Taylor is also a "QB like him", by which I assume you mean a QB whose running skills are their primary asset. By your standard, why will Taylor not suck too going forward?

I realize that their current form is important and by that standard Taylor is playing better, but lets keep in mind that Kaepernick was playing at a very high level just three seasons ago. He was a major factor in SFs Super Bowl run. He has every measurable you could want and he didn't suddenly forget how to play.

Would make too much sense for the NFL to do this. More likely that they add Wednesday night games next year instead.

Actually, I'm a big fan of the ex-CB safety concept. You get their experience and leadership and they can usually still cover a little too.

I just read the article. Moving him to safety in case Aaron Williams doesn't recover makes a little more sense.

This is their backup QB. They're going to sink or swim with Luck. Let's not make more of it that it's worth.

Something tells me that the Bills have as much chance to be on Hard Knocks as they do in hosting a Super Bowl.

As cap strapped as they are, why? A cornerback?

Neither are deep threats at all. Woods is a good blocker and Hogan is a good special teams player but as wide receivers, they are both average NFL players at best. I think the Bills could probably use the prototypical big, deep threat WR as a #2- just like most teams. But with the salary cap you have to choose and I would rather spend the picks and money on defense or OL at this point.

Would be awesome for the fans to see the team on hard knocks. This team isn't going anywhere with Rex anyway so what's the harm?

I think it was just timid, not stupid. He said that he wasn't vocal enough which is why they put Manny Lawson at MLB for the last couple of games.

A run heavy team like Buffalo may get an average of 200 to 250 yards per game passing. If you want Sammy to be your main weapon and average 80 to 100 ypg then you are left with 150 yards or so between all the other receivers and backs. So 50 yards per game for Clay is probably what you'd expect, which is only slightly more than he provided last season.

Mario has to be cut. If one of your highest paid players and one you'd expect to be a leader can mail in half the season while criticizing his coaching staff to the media, and still be rewarded with a contract extension then you have no chance. And I wouldn't worry too much about Mario going to New England. He's not their type of player and they don't really need him on defense.

I see someone blaming everybody but himself for the defensive problems. The only time he takes responsibility is when he's joking. But the questions will go away if he gets them to play well and makes the playoffs. Until then he will have to deal with them.

Rex comes in, promises the moon, delivers bupkis and then makes a bunch of excuses. What's not to love?
