another one bites the dust
*sigh*

I'm really not too excited about these two.

I don't know. I'm really not too excited about this pick. I mean, I'm sure it would be an upgrade from Ellison, but how much of an upgrade? and for how much longer can he play at a productive level? I'd rather go after Boley from Atlanta.
-
I'm in the minority here, I know, but I want Peters signed long-term. Badly. I know he's not exactly popular and he went about it the wrong way, but he's young and talented and will be even better with a contract extension in hand. He plays the second most important position in football. We have a young QB. Pay the man.
Your not in the minority. Trust me. Just that the one's that are bitter are the one's voicing themselves more aloud.
Having said that, I'm thinking we are gonna lock Peters up long term. Hopefully.
In regards to Dockery, It surprised me, but hey
at least it's one less guy to complain about.
-
I like the move!!
-
I don't feel sorry for anyone making nearly a half a million dollars per year for playing 16 games of something that they have loved doing since they were young.
It's not about feeling sorry, it's about getting fair pay. You have to pay to play.
back to topic. I'm sure they will offer Freddy a fair contract in the next coming months
-
Mayock could kick both of their asses at the same time

johnathan#34thomas, did you delete your "Beastmode to be Cut" thread? I can't find it anywhere. I wanted to read it and laugh again.

Didnt know they had no state income tax...so yes, that would be strike #2 on hom coming to Buffalo...or should I say strike #1, with his desire to go to Miami strike #2, and the Weather strike #3...
Hopefully the third strike he fouled off. I guess it will come down to the money. We are just gonna have to overpay if we want any chance at having him play. No time for a visit. Just an outright top rated guard pay that he is seeking. Then we can have him. I'm thinking the team that lands him will have to dish up $7Million + a year
-
What a big surprising move. At least for me it is.
No doubt he hasn't lived up to his contract.
Two questions.
Who will replace him?
How much will that save us on our cap figure?
I hope this is a move to go after Jason Brown
-
That would be the smart play...I'm a little meh on the DE's...especially since you can probably get one if you trade down anyway...it would be nuts to pass on Curry or Raji however (IMHO, of course).
And if I did trade down, I'd look to target Mack or Pettigrew
-
After looking at many sites and getting a good grip on all the players that are or have declared draft eligible for the upcoming draft, I think they're are good players to be had from the beginning to the end. With that said, my thoughts are of an open mind to trade down regardless of who is available to obtain extra picks to try and solidify some of the positions of need. The defensive end group, center group, and tight end groups all look pretty deep to me and I believe some are almost interchangable. I also believe there are also some starters to be had on day two. They're are also players I see that should be drafted that can be taught and let loose in a season or two. Do you agree or disagree, and if commenting please state your reason why.
I agree.
If Raji or Curry were available, I don't think I would. But only for those two.
-
Brown is the most polished and skilled passrusher out of the group in my view.
Larry English I think is more suited to be an edge pass rushing outside linebacker, but I think he is gonna be a really good one, lots of burst and good skills.
Orapko is a beast, decent burst, good strength, I think he will be a solid DE.
Tyson Jackson I think will be a good DE, not a speed rusher at all, stout against the run, bullrushing capabilities, someone who will help close the pocket.
Barwin is extremely athletic but very raw, only has one full season as a DE, I believe he would be more of a project player.
Maybin may be the most talented and probably has the most burst, and I could see why some teams really are salivating over his abilities, but I see him struggling his first couple years, big tackles probably will overpower him initially, specially on run situations.
I don't know a lot about Ayers, but Mayock loves him, had an impressive senior bowl game.
Michael Johnson is the most athletic out of the bunch, but I believe he has got "buyer beware" all over him. His production never really has matched his talent level. Some question his heart and desire.
-
hmmmm...maybe cuz all his tackled are all 5 yards past the line of scrimmage.
you have him confused for london fletcher
-
It really is best for this team to underperform again so that Dick is replaced. That's the most important change this team can make if it is serious about becoming a threat in the playoffs. Although, hiring a real GM could might be better. That way they kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Some things you just know and that is that Jauron will never win a playoff game as an NFL head coach.
was that a joke when you came up with that user name keepthefaith?
or has your life turned on you, and now you have no faith?

When we look at the undersized DE's putting on weight I keep thinking back to when we took Flowers with a first round pick who became a total bust.....
I think these undersized DE's are actually going to end up being good.....but are some of you wary because of our past pick?
I absolutely am wary of many of these players. It's a combination of the player and how we use the player. I really feel that Maybin and Johnson are prime examples of this. I maybe wrong, but I'm definitely on "buyer beware" mode.
I'd rather make a safer pick in a player like a Curry, Raji, Pettigrew, Mack who for me seem to be "safer" picks. If I had to go DE, I'd rather pick Brown, Orapko or Tyson Jackson over Maybin and Johnson. For that Matter I'd rather pick Larry English over these guys as well.
-
It's a WIN/WIN for me. If I'm forced to recant things I said about Trent(which I would be HAPPY to do), that means Trent played well, Dick coached well, & the Bills made the playoffs bringing me enjoyment. If however Trent & Dick both SUCK as I expect & the Bills finish 7-9 or worse, I at least can take some enjoyment in ridiculing them & their fans.
to each their own

Never said I was a saint......just not a felon. Dont you think if me or you were carrying a concealed, loaded 9 mil along with drugs we would be up on felony charges? It seems that professional athletes are always getting off easy.
no dude.
DA's love making a name for themselves. Having a high profile player is a perfect way to do that.
-
I wish it were so, but Trent will still be a Bill in 09.
It will be a good thing. I believe that a year from now, you will be recanting what you say about Trent.
-
I know some scouts are drooling over his first step and burst. But this pick would make me very nervous. I just have a feeling, that IF he becomes an effective player, that it won't be as a DE and it won't be in his first two years. If he plays DE, it looks to me that he would struggle initially against the run.
I'd rather have Everett.
-
The Trent fanboys & Dick lovers will be the ones eating crow in 09.
looks like you will be pulling for this to happen.
you just gotta let it go. he's gone
thank god!!

Why do people keep making a big deal about 6 carries for 48 yards in an exhibition game? Ones opinnion of Lynch doesnt matter, I am talking about why people keep making a big deal about gaining 48 yards on 6 carries in a game where everyone plays soft and is more fun than true competition? I mean its a lousy 48 yards, its not like he went for 160 or something on 6 carries.
This comment is not meant to create any opinnion about Lynch himself, just baffles me how many times I have seen his 48 yards on 6 carries made out to be some monster day. Heck, Lynch eclipsed that yardage on a single carry during a real NFL game against SF...
Lynch will start to become more impressive when he starts running for a high YPC in real NFL games, not exhibition games, and he won't do that until he learns to hit the hole better, more decisively, and with more authority. He showed some improvement towards the last half of last year, so I think he can do it. But until then, he will be a good RB, not a great RB.
but why do you let it bother you? It's just pride over a player that we have that performed well in the probowl. We don't have that many instances where we get to shine, and we had our lone player that represented the Bills perform very well for the AFC.
