Yes, only the people who care about the way he performs on the field, are critical about him. Why in the hell would a Vikings, Bengals, Chiefs, etc etc etc. fans give a damn?
That's not the point.
Sometimes you have to take a step back to be able to see things more clearly. Us as Bills fans are so negative about the state of the Bills, tend to see things with a glass is half empty out look.
Sort of like when you get two people that are constantly arguing with one another, they tend to only see things from their own perspective, and sometimes having a mediator is the only possible solution, because that mediator see's things from an even keeled perspective, and therefore can make a better assessment of what really is going on. So the correlation that I'm making is that the "rest of the NFL" is that mediator. The General consensus of the NFL on Whitner is that he is a good, hard hitting tackler.
Since lots of Bills fans see things in a skewed manner, because of our mediocre play, we tend to remember certain plays and characterize those players based on that certain play. For instance, we see it time in and time out, that people criticize Whitner, and the play they bring up is the play where he got blown up by Sam Morris. All though he did get obliterated by Sammy Morris on that play, it is unfair to characterize his ability based on that single play.
I don't have any problems with Whitner's ability as a tackler or hitter, which was the whole point of the comment he had on his facebook. My problem with Whitner is that he hasn't been that playmaker that we have been hoping for him to be as of yet. He doesn't get Int'.s, doesn't cause lots of fumbles and etc.
But to say that he is not a hard hitter really doesn't portray what he really is.
-
you guyz are too critical.
He is a hitter, and he is known through out the NFL as a fierce hitter.
Only the critical Bills fans see him as anything different
-
great now the jags really have no recievers
he actually was their best receiver this past season. I had him as an alternate for my fantasy football team. He consistantly got 3-5 catches for them a game and some valuable third down receptions.

That's really good to hear

isn't Matthews more of a 3-4 rushing OLB?
I don't know, but I like Matthews as much as any other LB in this years draft with the exception of Curry. He's a tackling machine, with great bloodlines, and to many people's dismay he was one of the fastest and most athletic LB's in this year's draft, even faster than Cushing with a 39' inch vertical.
If I had to go the LB route, I would look to try to trade into the latter half of the first round or early second to get him.
What says you astrobot about Matthews?
-
Beckum is 6'3" 243, had the most bench press reps among TEs, and ran a 4.6 40 while only being 80% from his broken leg. It's not unrealistic to think that he runs in the low 4.5s when 100%. Not to mention he had 900+ yards the two years before he broke his leg.
Beckum is EXACTLY what we need, and could be had in the 3rd round.
He seems like a good option.
Whats most important about what you just mentioned is his production. That is what I like.
People love Jared Cook. But when you look what he's done in his career, it's pretty uninspiring.
But lots of unsuccesful scouts and GM's overvalue players speed and physical attributes and then they are stuck with good athletes who don't know how to play football that well. Just like Vernon Davis
-
Ingram looked good at the combine. Speed kills.
Just like Vernon Davis
-
I thought thats who he was talking about!
-
And of sign of basic QB intelligence, knowing when to get rid of the ball and avoid the 10 yard sack w/ fumble or intercepted deep pass to a triple-covered Evans.
thank you!
Let's not all forget about the prior qb.
-
He's gonna be on NFL network in a few minutes.
I looooove the attention we're getting.
-
I think you've hit the nail on the head. If we take Cushing-Matthews-Sintim in Round 1-2, why tie up $ with Keiaho or June?
that very well may be the thinking.
-
Are you just assuming this based on the other thread regarding the one year offer made to Peterson?
It definitely got me thinking thats for sure. It does make sense. This is why June and Keiaho were cut. They didn't fit their new regime's vision.
-
The Bills may be wanting to offer Keiaho or June one year contracts as well. What if the Bills have another disappointing season? What will that mean for Jauron?
Probably won't be here is my guess. If that is the case, there is a good chance that the new coach will want to change the tampa 2 into his own scheme that he believes in.
If that is the case you gotta believe that Bills FO is thinking the same thing, and they may be hesitant to offer a contract beyond a year or two.
-
Peterson probably was the best of the group so far on a one year basis, but I'm actually hoping we get Freddy Keiaho or Cato June
-
Interesting.
But I sure wish I knew how DJ holds his players "accountable":
"Yes, he’s a coach you want to play for and want to win for, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t hold you accountable — because he does."
What does that mean? The player does not get a gold star next to his name for the week? The player gets sent to bed without dessert?
you do live up to your name.
I gotta give you that
-
Hell yeah!!
Coming back to Buffalo early to get this show going!
That's what I'm talkin about
-
I figured this was the best way to let you guyz know. He should be on in a few minutes
-
These two additions would be pretty dramatic in my opinion but I agree we need two more signings (O-Line and at LB).
But, you need to realize that the TO deal is a one year fling. This means, the only way it really makes sense is to push HARD to go the extra step this year. I feel this means borrowing from the future. There are two ways to do this:
1.) make a significant trade of future picks to get a needed piece this year (such as scheffler form Denver)
or
2.) use the 1st round pick this year for NOW instead of the future. A now pick would be Pettigrew rather than at DE. DE is a major need and will pay off in the long run but who, then, plays TE this year???
I agree completely!
This year is an important year for many people, and now seems like a logical year to make a stronger push than normal.
A trade for Scheffler would seem like a good move. If we didn't go this route, a pick in Pettigrew would make an immediate impact. I believe this player is as NFL ready as anyone in the draft. He is physical, big and would be an imposing blocker, who has the quickness , big target and hands to be a good safety valve immediately.

Josh McDaniels thinks Cutler is a keeper

Mike Lombardi of the National Football Post suggests that coach Dick Jauron was not in favor of the Bills' signing of Terrell Owens.
Lombardi notes that Jauron hasn't commented on T.O. and that CEO Russ Brandon is now the top personnel man in Buffalo. Owens makes Lee Evans and Trent Edwards better on paper, but this isn't a usual Jauron move. It does have the potential to improve Jauron's chances of keeping his job through 2010.

does the shame ever end?

Russ Brandon said he we weren't done. Linebacker and LG

freakin' newbies.
I know
having said that
How do I make a poll? I tried and I obviously did it wrong
