What's the big deal here? Am I missing something?
-
The OP might be onto something here....trade away all of our talented players for unproven, rookie players. Oh wait....never mind.....this whole thread is retarded.
-
Pretty much. He's been a bust.
I don't think 7th round pick and "bust" belong in the same sentence. He made the team because he was booming those kickoffs in the pre-season.....now....not so much. Would have been worth a roster spot (IMO) if he was getting 75% touchbacks.
-
So, it certainy seems like the writing is on the wall for Potter once we get Urbik, Glenn, & eventually Brooks back.
-
Unless a Megatron type prospect were to fall in our laps, why in the hell would the bills draft a WR in the 1st round? Please, someone explain this to me...

From his new protective custody home somewhere in the southwest, the hampster was quoted as saying...
"And now it's all over. And that's the hardest part. Today, everything is different. There's no action. I have to wait around like everyone else. Can't even get decent food. Right after I got here, I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce and I got egg noodles and ketchup. I'm an average nobody. I get to live the rest of my life like a schnook.

I know he won't be in this year's draft class, but I just love watching USC defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. He'll likely enter next year as a junior, and I'd be willing to bet my Nate Odomes autographed football card that Clowney will be the 1st name called by the commissioner.

I refuse to start any QB or WR against that Cowboys defense. Learned my lesson....
-
How about ruvell martin, dickerson, potter, or lee smith?
Who's this Dickerson Fella you speak of?
Seriously though, with regard to "who goes," I think this is pretty spot-on with the exception of Lee Smith. I love his "nastiness" and he seems to be a pretty good run blocker. I think Brooks coming back makes Ruvell Martin expendable, obviously Dorin Dickerson IS who everyone thought he was (great football player in spandex), and I think John Potter is off the juice. Potter has gone from Sebastian Janikowski to Martin Gramatica in just a few weeks.

I didn't have a problem with Potter's kick offs last week. AZ has a dangerous return game and he booted them to the back of the end zone or out of it. I think the Cards player came out once and was tackled well short of the 20. I'm sure if Powell could boom them out of the end zone they would've considered it already.
That's funny...if I recall correctly, Potter only got 1/3 touchbacks vs the Cards and none vs the 49ers....
I remember the Cards game specifically because I had to hold my breath every time Peterson brought it out of the endzone.
-
Now that he's not relied upon to be a starting CB, I think he has found his niche in nickle/dime packages. Also, props to McLovin for his special teams play. How Leodis has responded to his diminished role on defense, IMO, is a good indication about his character. He is willing to swallow his pride, work hard, and do what he needs to do to get on the football field.
One of my favorite lacrosse coaches always told us, "you have to show me that I cannot afford to have you sitting on the bench." I think McKelvin has proved that to this coaching staff.
-
I have no problem with his statement...it is hard to win in the NFL. You have to celebrate every victory, and hopefully build off the momentum.
-
I'd like to have both of them back (Glenn and Urbik), but if I had to choose one it would be Urbik. Hairston has more than capably filled in for Glenn at LT, however, the drop off from Urbik to Rhinehart/Brown/Young has been painful to endure. If we can make it through this week without Glenn, he then gets 2 more weeks to recouperate and get ready for NE & Houston.
-
Pears is what he is. Which is a good depth player and a second stringer.
I respectfully disagree....Pears has proven (IMO) to be an above average starting RT. In particular, he excells in run blocking....the guy is an absolute mauler. If they didn't have a walking tackling dummy next to him at RG the past few weeks, you would notice the Bills running right behing Pears a whole lot more.
-
I would LOVE to see Kyle get the handoff in a goalline situation. That would be tremendous IMO.

I came to the end of my rope today with Fitz.
The final straw came at the end when Fred Jackson was wide open
for 5-10 yards and maybe a first down.
It at least would have put us in a manageable field goal position.
Perfect protection...He bounces it.
Thiggy would have hit Fred in stride.
Make the change to Jackson during the bye,
Looks like Fitz has had it.
So...you're proposing that Tyler Thigpen should take over as starting QB? Clearly Tavaris Jackson isn't ready or he might be taking snaps with the 2nd team in practice. I'm not saying that I'm not frustrated with Fitz's play, but what is the alternative? I don't understand the point of ths thread.
-
I have never liked Ruvell Martin. With regard to John Potter....prior to today's game, Buffalo was 15th in the NFL in touchback percentage at 52.17%. This is a vast improvement over last year (24.05%), but is John Potter really worth a roster spot?
-
+1. They were driving it down the field right down their throats and had the game in the palm of their hands. That call was criminal in that situation.
Agreed....it was 2nd and 8 and I would have been happy with two consecutive running plays. At least we would have taken some time off the clock, and the way we were running the ball, probably would have moved the chains. Horrible call given the game situation.
-
Sounds like a safety/nickle linebacker tweener...how are his coverage skills?
-
From this Board;
1. MLB Manti Te'o
2. QB Tyler Bray
I'd take this...
-
One thing's for sure....Arizona's offensive line is absolutely HORRIBLE. If the Bills can't muster up a consistent pass rush tomorrow....they never will.
-
Oh god....David Snow was absolutely dreadful in the pre-season
Against 2nd and 3rd stringers,,,,
-
Hope its just a rough stretch for him... not playing like the guy he was in College.
Not playing like the player he was in his rookie season either...
Draft Results, equate to inept front office

It's not just about which players are drafted/acquired...a big part of how personnel moves translate to performance on the football field is how these players are utilized. Employing a good defensive scheme and putting players in positions to succeed is important. I don't think that is happening with this team right now....especially on the defensive side.
