  1. Chris Brown was talking about this guy right after the combine. Said that he believe the Bills will not draft a QB in the early rounds, and that Scott could be a target of the Bills in the 4th or 5th round. He throws a nice ball, has good footwork and a nice compact delivery. Was praised by scouts at the combine during throwing drills for his "zip" and accuracy on short and intermediate routes. From what I heard, however, he struggled somewhat throwing deep balls. Scouts said he was putting too much air under the ball causing the ball to "flutter" and be underthrown.

     

    If the Bills truly do not see a QB worth taking in the top 3 rounds, this might be a good guy to target. Don't be fooled though...he's not Kaepernick and he's not Russell Wilson. I think he will end up going in the 4th round.

  2. 1: DE Ezekiel Ansah, BYU (6-5, 274, 4SR) Limited experience but dominated in his limited time....great size, speed and hands.

     

    2. DE/LB Sam Montgomery, LSU (6-4, 245, 4JR) Solid against the run and even better in the rush. and with 4.5 speed he can cover

     

    3: Tyler Bray: Big arm, some dont like some of his off field decisions but he was a kid and kids dont always make the right choice

     

    Wouldn't cry myself to sleep if this scenario were to play out, however, I'd prefer a WR in round 2 (Justin Hunter, Terrence Williams, DeAndre Hopkins). Come back in round 4 for a TE (Joseph Fauria, Vance McDonald) :thumbsup:

  3. They need help at CB. This should guarantee them one of the top two CBs in the draft most likely Xavier Rhodes from FSU. With all of their picks and not many needs they should go for one of the best players at the position

     

    Okay, but move all the way up to #8 to get their guy? Probably could trade down into the early 20's, give up less, and still get either Trufant or Rhodes.

  4. That presser is a joke. how dare the media question me, I have been coaching for 37 years?

     

    What-- and you've never coached a bad game in your life? What's the excuse for fair not getting a shot in the last 13 minutes? JB is a good coach, but he coached a bad game yesterday.

     

    In a certain respect, the lack of depth at guard is killing him. If he had another guard, he'd be pulling Triche and MCW and chewing them out, but he can't because he's got no one else.

     

    JB also is a coach in the mold of Dave wannsteadt. He gets good players and lets them play. He doesn't seem to out- scheme anyone. you can probably get away with that in bball more than football, which is why JB is a hall of famer and wannsteadt is now an assistant special teams coach.

     

    Lack of guard depth is a problem, but given the circumstances (IMO) he should have benched MCW or Triche and let Cooney finish out the game. As the head coach, you need to send a message somehow...even if it means losing a game.

  5. boeheims presser...far be it from me to question his coaching, but fair doesn't take a shot in the final 13 minutes? southerland launching shots all game...some of that sounds like coaching to me.

     

    That's a BINGO!!

     

    To me it all starts and finishes with coaching. At the end of the Marquette game, when MCW turned the ball over a couple times with horrendous, forced passes, I fully expected JB to yank him and sit him for the remainder of the game. Furthermore, Brandon Triche does absolute nothing but hurt the team down the stretch, and he plays the remainder of the game? I don't see that "fire" from Boeheim like I have seen in the past. Rather, he stands there with a not so impressed expression on his face, twisting away at his nose. I want to see him yank underperforming/lazy players and tear them a new bunghole in front of everyone. Let them sit on the bench for the remainder of the game and think about their mistakes. I can't tell if JB is ready for retirement, or if he has just given up on this group. Either way, something needs to change in a hurry.

  6. Employees who park in visitor parking so they don't have to walk as far.

     

    Guilty :blush:

     

    You must understand, however, that when it's -40 here in Fairbanks, it's every man for himself. I'd park in a handicapped parking spot if I knew I could get away with it.

  7. Considering how poor he's played, I have no issue if we cut him. That being said, I'm also willing to give him another year since he's so young. I wouldn't mind seeing if he could play safety, he certainly has the size for it (I think?).

     

    Aaron Williams 6' 0" 199 lbs 4.55 40

     

    George Wilson 6' 0" 211 lbs 4.63 40

     

    Perhaps Williams could stand to put on a few pounds in the weight room, but his measurables do seem pretty consistent with George Wilson and other SS's around the league. He seems to have a little more speed than other SS's too.

  8. Keep an eye on Boise St. CB Jamar Taylor in he is around in the 3rd or 4th round. Decent size at 5'11" 192....played all four years at Boise and took over starting role at the beginning of his sophomore season. Ran 4.32 at the combine....22 reps on the bench press. Physical corner who excels in press man coverage. Would be a steal if we were able to get him in the 4th, but I suspect he will go in the 3rd. IMO, would be a good bookend corner on the other side of Gilmore.

  9. I don't even have the words....

     

    I will say, however, that if I ran into Michael Carter-Williams right now I would punch him right in the mouth. What a joke.

     

    Oh yeah....and Brandon Triche is a pu$$y....he has no testicles. A senior with absolutely no leadership skills.

     

    Makes me want to puke :sick:

  10. http://www.revengeof...ly-impressed-by

     

    the matt miller tweet on the page in what i saw earlier....

     

    Thanks for providing the link Ryan, although the body of the article seems to question the credibility of the "sources" involved. In fact, the Card's VP of public relations even tweeted "buyer beware on these types of reports;" specifically citing Matt Miller's tweet. I don't doubt that the Cardinals may have been impressed with Barkley during his interview, but taking a tweet from a "reporter" for the Bleacher Report as fact is pretty dangerous.

     

    I wouldn't be shocked if Barkley went to Arizona at #7, but I'll believe it when I see it.

  11. The saviors gonna have to be Tyler Wilson or Ej Manuel/Glennon if the "rumors" are true.

     

    Arizona at 7 has said Barkley's not getting past them. Geno goes top 6 then Wilson/Glennon/Manuel are the options it seems.

     

    Link?

     

    This "rumor" has been thrown around a lot here lately. Who said it? Arians? Steve Keim? Bill Bidwell?

  12. People who drive slow in the passing lane.

     

    People who don't pay attention to their children when at the playground.

     

    People at work who insist on sharing gossip with me....I DONT GIVE A :censored: !!

     

    People who say "irregardless."

     

    People who pay with personal checks at the grocery store. Really, who the :censored: doesn't have a debit card in 2013?!?!

     

    People who have kids with rotten teeth. Inexcusable.

     

    People who physically discipline their children in public.

     

    People who talk on their phone using their bluetooth ear pieces. To quote the best comedian ever, George Carlin, "hey space boy...since your hands are free why don't you reach over here and fondle my balls?"

  13. none other than Mr. Matthew Montgomery Barkley.

     

    The Bills already know it.

     

    Geno Smith is a much better athlete, and thus, won't last to #8 overall since NFL teams are now enthralled with "read option" QBs. He'll be the first QB drafted this year. He looks like another C. Kaepernick on film.

     

    Tyler Wilson sucked at the combine. That does not bode well for him.

     

    Barkley has been nothing but a stud QB his entire life......from HS (#1 in the nation) to college (#1 in the nation).......and now to the pros. He wile the Bills' pick at #8 overall..............if he lasts that long.

     

    The more time that the NFL scouts and coaches have to dissect this year's QBs the more they will see that Barkley is the true future gem. He can make all of the throws, make the right reads, will stay out of trouble off the field, and will be the team leader that the Bills need.

     

    I've said it a million times already........the Bills must make it their top priority to obtain a franchise QB this year. There are a ton of available pass rushers and WRs, but future franchise QBs.....not so much. The team has no hope without a franchise QB. Fitz and Jax are not good enough. I wish they were.

     

    Draft Barkley and he will start from Day 1.

     

    That's when the road back to prosperity will begin.

     

    Not sure what film you've been watching, but Geno Smith looks absolutely nothing like Kaepernick...pure pocket passer who happens to be fast.

     

    I will say, however, that I do like the potential fit of Barkley in Hackett's west coast style offense. I think he could be really successful.

  14. I wouldn't touch mike Glennon. I see him as the riser we've seen the last couple of drafts. Gabbert, he's the guy who Glennon reminds me of and I don't want him on this team. Wilson is also interesting. Not that I don't like him, I just don't think we're going to take him. I actually like him as a player, just don't see him here. I think he'll be an early second rounder or trader back into the first for.

     

    Funny, Glennon doesn't remind me at all of Blaine Gabbert. Not saying that I want Glennon, but I just don't see it. I'd be interested to hear your insight into why they are so much alike.

  15. I can't recall a Cuse team in recent memory that was so undisciplined as this one. Really, we have a good lead in the first half, and then proceed to take terrible shots early in the shot clock for the next 7-8 possessions? The Jim Boeheim I have come to know would have benched Southerland for the rest of the 1st half (at least) for the bull s**t shots he was taking. Again, Brandon Triche was an absolute no-show, and unfortunately we can't win against good competition without him. MCW returned to form...turning the ball over like he was trying to lose the game. Absolutely no low-post game to speak of, and Christmas is absolutely terrible. I'd rather have Jerami Grant playing the 5, Keite at the 4, Fair at the 3, and Triche/MCW playing guard.

     

    I hate to admit it, but I agree now that this is a sweet 16 team at best. Tough stretch of games left with Marquette, DePaul, Louisville, and then Georgetown on the road. Unless we finish out strong, and do very well in the Big East Tournament, I could see this team dropping to a 4 or 5 seed in the tournament.

     

    Oh yeah...another thing that really bothered me yesterday was the failure to adjust to Otto Porter. The guy was literally carrying the team on his back, and we had no response? Most coaches might decide to play some man-to-man in this situation, but I get it....Boeheim very rarely strays from the 2-3. We would have had a better chance, IMO, playing the box and one on Porter and letting the rest of the G-Town team try to beat us.

     

    Huge game tomorrow at Marquette.
