  1. I've seen some mock drafts that have the Bills taking Maybin in the 1st round. They've said he has the best 1st step off the snap of anyone.

    God I hope not!

     

    second round maybe. I'd rather have Duke Robinson in the second round if he was available over Maybin. I think Robinson is a lock in my view to be a very good G for years to come.

  2. COOK WASN’T IN BUFFALO, SUPPOSEDLY

    Posted by Mike Florio on March 17, 2009, 1:26 p.m.

    In response to a rumor mentioned by former Bills guard Ruben Brown during an afternoon radio spot with our pal Brad Riter of WECK in Buffalo, an assistant to Bus Cook tells the Buffalo News that the agent for Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler and Broncos tight end Tony Scheffler wasn’t in Western New York on Monday.

     

    Cook supposedly was in his Hattiesburg, Mississippi office on Monday, according to Mark Gaughan of the News.

     

    Gaughan also points out that, while the Broncos reportedly have been shopping Scheffler, the team has not given Scheffler permission to shop himself.

     

    Of course, that fact would likely prompt someone like Cook to claim he hadn’t been in Buffalo, if in fact he had been in Buffalo.

     

    It’s unknown whether Cook has responded to the question of whether he was in Buffalo by saying, “Not that I know of.”

  3. Huge assumption that Hardy won't work out and Johnson will

    I would say it is a reasonable assumption to say that Johnson will be better than Hardy, based on what we saw from the two last year, and the production that Johnson had against top level talent in the SEC, and the importance of the games that he shined in versus top talent in the SEC, and the way he performed in minicamp last year, and they way he played in preseason last year, and in games that he appeared in at the end of the year.

     

    Other than that, I don't know why he could turn out to be more productive than Hardy.

  4. SCHEFTER SAYS PEPPERS-TO-PATS WON’T HAPPEN

    Posted by Mike Florio on March 17, 2009, 12:08 p.m.

    In his weekly appearance on WEEI in Boston, Adam Schefter of NFL Network said that the Panthers won’t be trading defensive end Julius Peppers to the Patriots.

     

    “That trade is not gonna happen,” Schefter told Dennis & Callahan of WEEI.

     

    Schefter cited the financial investment that Peppers would require and the looming class of Patriots free agents (including Vince Wilfork and Richard Seymour), who will be on the market in 2010.

     

    Schefter’s opinion conflicts sharply with a Monday report from Vic Carucci of NFL.com, who seemed to suggest that a trade would happen at some point between the upcoming league meetings (which open on March 22) and the 2009 draft.

     

    “I’m telling you, they’re not gonna do it,” Schefter said later in the segment. “. . . . I don’t believe for a second there’s any truth to it.”

     

    Schefter then said he’s 99.9 percent sure that Peppers won’t be playing for the Patriots next year.

     

    But Schefter then acknowledged that that 0.1 percent could come to fruition, and that he could be exposed as a “complete fraud.”

     

    Meanwhile, Schefter said that he regards the chances of the Pats signing defensive end Jason Taylor as “realistic.”

  5. Unless McCargo can play DE in Denver's new 3-4 with Mike Nolan as DC, I don't see him moving. I think McDaniels hired him to reproduce what NE did.

     

    I do like the addition of Scheffler (should it happen), who is young, on the upswing, and someone that can block and receive.

    Is he a good blocker? From what I understood, McDaniels was letting him go just for the opposite reason.

     

    He didn't fit the traditional TE role he was looking for.

  6. I agree. It's funny how the only post a user makes was one where he stated that "Trent will lead us to the playoffs!". So, which one of you Trentites created the dupe account of JB17?

    whats even funnier is that you can't let it go.

     

    that the signature, which is a statement, that every time you post something, that this is the way you want people to see you as.

  7. So when the shoe is on the other foot, it's no big deal? :lol: :lol: :(

    I've noticed somethin, not that it was difficult to see.

     

    Just about every post you make, is not so much football related, but it is in response to other posters to either criticize, chastise or demean them in some sort of way. You are a classic internet Troll. I'm sorry that your life is so bitter, and that you are frustrated, that you have nothing better to do than look for people's faults and criticize them.

     

    Try looking at the brighter side of life, I promise you that the grass is greener on the other side.

  8. "Oh no. What if the Pats get Peppers! Waah."

     

    "Oh no. What if the Jets get Cutler AND Holt? Waah, waah."

     

    "Oh no. What if Miami gets Christ himself? Waah, waah, waah."

     

    With due respect to the female fans who already know better, would those that fear what other teams are doing please grow a pair and just accept the fact that if we can't beat those teams because they're better then we need to get better ourselves. That simple.

     

    Unless, of course, there is more honor in beating a team of nuns (although some of the ones I had growing up would kick Butkus butt).

     

    I WANT to beat the Pats when they have their best players. I WANT to beat the Jets when they have their best players.

    I WANT to beat the Phins when they have their best players. I WANT to line up against the best and beat the best AT their best.

     

    Until we can and do, then man up in the meantime and root for the team to get better. Or not. Just quit the whining already.

     

    GO BILLS!!!

    I'd rather be in the AFC West

  9. Great Post Dibs.

     

    I mean it seems like half this board wants to get rid of our best players.

     

    Peters is the best LT we have had since Ballard.

    Marshawn is the best runningback since Thurman.

    Trent Edwards has shown the most promise since Kelly.

    Whitner the best safety since Henry Jones

    Mcgee very solid corner and best kick returner ever.

    Parrish best Puntreturner ever

    Schobel the best DE since Bruce Smith

    Poz a very promising LB

    Kelsay....umm ok... I got nothing for Kelsay

     

     

    I think it just shows the frustration of fans and the unreasonable, unrealistic views on our current situation.

  10. Crowell is very average IMO. Better than Ellison, yes, but a difference maker no. I wouldn't be upset if he resigned with us, because like many have pointed out he'd be an upgrade over Ellison. That being said, the lasting memory I have of Crowell was him playing terribly vs. the Jaguars in the 07 season. I remember watching the film on NFL.com of Fred Taylor's long TD run in which Crowell took a terrible angle and was pretty much responsible for the big play. That was always the problem I had with him, he's just a little too stiff for a LB and often looked lost when he was one on one out in space. There must also be some serious question over his injuries, if he still has not received one offer.

    Angles and overpursuit has always been his weakness, and I think it is a fair concern regarding the injuries and why no one else has stepped to the plate to sign him. Having said that, I think he is better than average, and with a little more discipline and coaching, I think that can be rectified. Concerning his injury, I guess no one really knows and that is a risk that someone will have to take. This is why he probably is only being offered a 1 year contract. Maybe, Im just speculating
