I think Jaws is the best color man in the league...my opinion though..
And about Hines Ward....what a complete receiver. Great hands, great attitude and holy spit what a blocker! Did you see him just STICK the safety coming in on that one play at the line of scrimmage....? Wow...just wow.
I think that Jaws is the best analyst in the league. He seems to have some trouble working without a script though. He's also too serious. It's a game out there!

I always liked Marv Albert. I listened to him on the radio for a while in the car. Tirico is not too bad.
What do people think of "Chucky" Gruden?
When Marv is doing basketball, he is the best. He doesn't quite seem to have the same level of insight or timing during football telecasts.
Gruden has a long way to go, but he has potential to be interesting.
-
Way overrated. His description of plays are rambling dissertations. Plus his star-humping penchant for delivering standing bjs to celebrity and jock alike is pathetic. Peaked at Lake Placid.
He definitely talks too much. He should study some film of Pat Summerall- the greatest football play by play man of all time.
-
Gus tries too hard. The enthusiasm is so over the top it's annoying (at least to me). I don't need a guy screaming in the booth to get me excited about a big play (or shot).
But then again, I liked Dennis Miller on MNF. So I'm probably a different type of fan.
Dennis Miller definitely had his moments. He was like the funny side of John Madden without the football savvy.

Turk is a Dick. There is a reason why Mike Martz is out of work. Ever watch New England or Indy's offense. There is nothing complex about them. They just execute very well. Even when the defense knows what is coming they still execute the plays. That is what makes a great offense.
Turk was more concerned with showing everyone how smart that he was.
I wouldn't compare Schoenert to Mike Martz. Martz has been VERY successful as an offensive coordinator in this league, including winning a Super Bowl as the OC of the Rams. You might not like his philosophy (as Mike Singletary apparently didn't), but you can't argue with the production.

Out of all the ST only LBs we've carried on the roster, Haggan was the only one I thought would have much of a future in the league and I was surprised to see him not re-signed after his supension. He's a big guy too.
Big LB are not allowed on our team.
-
Sullivan contributes nothing to the Buffalo sports scene that you can't get by reading a few of the vitriolic posts on this board. These days he's having a hard time being negative enough to stand out from the rest of doom & gloom crowd.
-
I bet they tried to trade Walker first and cut Chambers because they knew no team would rush to sign him. After failing to get any offers for Walker, they cut him and then re-signed Chambers. Just an educated guess.
This sounds logical.
-
I didn't think they'd keep Walker if he didn't work out at LT. I just didn't think they'd decide that before the season even started. Was he really THAT bad in pre-season. I know his attitude stunk, which didn't help I'm sure, but why not give him a few games to see how he does before giving up on him?
-
It's a risk, no question, but why give an RB a roster spot instead of a better player at another position just because he's an RB? I think that they'll pick up another RB if someone is injured before week 3 (I think that Bruce Hall is still available...). They may even pick up Rhodes in week 2. Barring a disaster scenario with both Jackson and Omon Getting injured in the same game, we'll be ok. If that happens, there will be a lot of passing...
-
If Bell, Maybin, Byrd and Nelsen can work their way into the starting line up, I'll be more optimistic.
It'll be a process. No way that they were going to start the opener, but I expect that they will see more and more playing time if they perform well and may take the starters role at some point in the season. I think that Maybin will definitely see a lot of reps and might end up playing as much as or more than Kelsey by week 3 or 4. It may take longer with the other guys. One guy that you didn't mention was Harris. I think that he might also find some reps in there as the season goes on.

I hope AVP puts in the counter- trey. Man I love that running play.
Does anybody run this anymore? I thought that everybody was using zone blocking these days.

So comment on the success of Johnson, Bledsoe, and Losman after they left the Bills terrible offensive lines.
They all went onto great success, no?
And, by the way, Rothlisberger's offensive line sucked out loud last season. Big Ben was one of the most sacked QBs in the league. The Steelers running game wasn't that great either.
But despite their offensive live, which statistically was just as bad or worse than the Bills line, the Steelers won the Super Bowl.
And Arizona's O-Line was also poor. The QB has a lot to do with how your line looks. For those that remember, think of how many sacks Johnson took behind the same line that Flutie played behind. Flutie made quick decisions, threw the ball in rhythm and always had the run threat so he was rarely sacked and always looked like he had time. Marino is another good example. He moved well in the pocket, made quick decisions and had a lightning fast release. His line was so-so and they never had a running game when he was there.
TE needs to learn how to make quick decisions and move better inside the pocket better. If he does these things, the line will look a whole lot better.
-
I think that he needs a coaching mentor. I don't think that he'll succeed without one. Holmgren would be great, but again RW will not bring in someone like him. I think that the Bills best chance is to bring in a young OC or an offensive minded college head coach as the new head coach.
-
So let me get this straight. Rhodes won't get signed by any other team right through the end of week one. Then, he'll sign a two game contract with the Bills, play those two games, and then he'll leave again when Lynch comes back.
If that's as much respect as Dominick Rhodes has left in the league, he should retire and take Ross Tucker's place on NFL Radio.
I will make the bold prediction right now, Rhodes won't be available for this grand money saving scheme to work after week one.
My thinking exactly. The first team with an injury at RB will sign Rhodes.
-
Maybe this means that Maybin will be seeing some time at LB.
-
Well - let me tell you... if its a bad season... Buffalo will need another big name to improve ticket sales...
no person better than BILL COWHER OR MIKE SHANAHAN.
It's not going to happen. RW is just not going to bring in a ego like either of these two guys after the problems he had with Donahoe.
-
Maybin is a 3rd down DE
Harris is behind Ellison
Corner is dime
Thats what I'm assuming
I thought Corner has been playing the nickel with the first team in preseason. Why do you see him as a dime? Who is the nickel?
-
Stupar, Schouman and Fine are all mediocre TEs. None of them are championship caliber starters. What's the big deal who we keep, really?
I think that it must have been very close between Denney and Copeland, but again, neither one are championship caliber players so they are both stopgaps, IMO.
The one that surprised me was Scott instead of Chambers. Chambers was a decent backup, not great, but I just never heard anything about Scott in the preseason that lead me to believe he might make the squad.

I can't believe that no one has referenced Hitler's rant from the movie Downfall yet.

On the Channel 2 newscast last night they had a quote from Turk saying something along the lines of "He (Jaron) was on me all off-season to simplify the offense. He said we had too many plays, too many formations. He wants a pop-gun offense."
I can't find the quote online anywhere.
I think that all of this bodes very badly for the Bills and Jauron.
It's interesting to hear this. With Schonert's offense struggling, I was reminded of how Sam Wyche's (his former coach and no-huddle author) offense struggled during his final years as Tampa's coach. A major criticism then was that the offense was too complicated and that things needed to be simplified. Turk's offense looks more similar to the Sam Wyche version that Jim Kelly's in execution and intent.
It's also funny to hear this when there has been so much criticism of Jauron's previous offensive coordinators, especially Steve Fairchild, that his offense's were TOO simple and vanilla.
-
We will set a record for field goals this year.
Only if Lindel makes them.
-
Practice is overrated. The critical thing is determining who our 3th string DBs and DLs are going to be.
-
kinda sad that all our playmakers seem to be 2nd or 3rd stringers....
Yeah, too bad they only make plays against the opponents 2nd and 3rd stringers...

Tim,
How much do you think that Langston Walker's attitude affected his performance and, ultimately, his release? Was it your perception that he played like his spot on the team was on the line?
