  1. Assuming Aaron Williams is the starter opposite Gilmore come week 1, and Ron Brooks has been playing such good football, why wouldn't he start in the nickle over McLovin? Seems like an awful waste of talent to have Brooks only playing in dime packages, especially since he has seemingly out-performed McFumbles thusfar in this pre-season. The only glimpse of good football I have seen from McKelvin was that forced-fumble against the Vikings, and that was after he was torched by his WR for a large gain.

  2. I don't know about fantasy football helmets, but I have found some hilarious fantasy avatars searching through Google images. For instance, in one of my leagues my team name is Brady Gaga. I found a hilarious side profile pic of Marsha Brady with a photo-shopped Justin Bieber haircut. Instant hilarity! I just cut and paste the image location URL into my team profile page.

  3. Nothing about this article implies that they are looking to replace Sheppard in the middle. It only says Morrison will be getting rep's in the middle versus Pittsburgh. I think this is more of an indication that they are not entirely happy with McKillop and/or Carder (I suspect McKillop), and want to get Morrison some experience in case of an injury to Shepp.

  4. dont we think its time to retire the shout song/ its been like 100 years its been around...

     

    I really came to appreciate this song when I went to a Bills-Panthers game in Charlotte a few years ago. Every time Buffalo scored points, the masses of Bills fans in the stadium began singing the shout song. It was almost as if it was being played on the stadium's speakers. Carolina fans looked pissed and puzzled at the same time :lol: It was pretty freakin awesome.

  5. Isn't the greatest olympian in all of history also know to blaze a lil'?

    Bolt has admitted to smoking pot, adding almost every kid growing up in Jamaica has smoked ganja at least once.

    “When you’re a child in Jamaica, you learn how to roll a joint,” he told Germany’s Bild newspaper. “Everyone tried marijuana, including me, but I was really young.”

    Uhhhhhh......not sure but I think 20 years was referring to our own Michael Phelps. He's been known to enjoy an occasional bong ripper here and there.

  6. Why does everyone think Troup is going to the IR? At best and uninjured he is only a depth player. With his nagging injuries and under performance he is low man on the totem pole, so why would the Bills waste a spot, PS, roster, IR, etc on him?

     

    IR buys him training camp next year, what is he going to do next year? He's not going to beat out Dareus or K Williams, so again he is just a depth player at best. So again, why would the Bills waste time, team spot and salary on somebody who can be easily replaced from the FA market. I don't understand the IR logic, makes no sense.

     

    Fair point...

     

    Because he was a recent high draft pick I think many Bills fans think that the organization will give the guy every opportunity to demonstrate his potential. Flawed logic it seems. In a similar situation, the Bengals recently waived WR Jordan Shipley. I was surprised when it happened, but when I looked at their roster it made perfect sense to me.

  7. His lack of fluidity is concerning. He doesn't seem to have cornerback hips, nor quick twitch muscle movement. Safety might be his future, but if so, he'd be depth right now (rather than a starter at CB)...

     

    I recall hearing reports (when he was drafted) about the perceived lack of fluidity in his hips, but they hasn't been glaringly obvious to me (again I do not claim to be an expert). With regard to his lack of "quick twitch muscle movement," I think you just pulled that out of your a**. He is a big, fast, physical cornerback who has pretty good closing speed when his receiver does get a step on him. I could see him eventually converting to safety, but for now I think he has the potential to be a very good cornerback in this league. Only time will tell.

     

    Mckelvin rules you'll be with me by week 6 on this. Real pass rush means cb's can finally make plays. I like the Gilmore brooks mckelvin package. Sub in Williams some. It's a long game.

     

    I highly doubt it Ryan, but I commend your loyalty to Mumbles McLovin.

  8. His ball skills last night were McKelvinistic. Coverage was decent on the long completion, just needs to react better when the ball is in the air. IF he's able to clean that up I think his night was decent.

     

    :lol:

     

    It was only me president of the mckelvin fan club who said Williams looked bad last nite. He gave up a few plays. Not the best game but all cb's are up and down........I'd rather see mckelvin out there getting one last shot.....if he stinks then yank him......would like to see him on field in some capacity

     

    It wasn't just you Ryan. I respect your opinion, but with regard to the bolded above, I ask.....what are you smoking and can I have some?

  9. By most accounts, Aaron Williams has not had a good camp at all, and has consistently been burnt in practices. He didn't play well in the first game, and he didn't play well last night. I think that is the cause for all the criticism, the overall training camp that he has had, not the game last night that he had. He HAS to make that play on the bomb when he is in perfect position and should have easily tracked the ball in the air, the same way that Leodis had to make a few of those same plays last year on bombs and didn't. It's not like it was only a quick out, it was a bomb, and he cannot let that happen.

     

    So far, AW has been my biggest disappointment of all players this summer, probably because he is likely being counted on to be a starter unless Terrence makes a very quick and full recovery, which doesn't look likely.

     

    I remember hearing about Williams' slow start in camp, but remember specifically Wanny talking about how he finished camp strong. I don't recall him playing poorly against Washington, and I disagree that he played poorly last night. Do you have some specific examples (other than the Simpson play) where he clearly exhibited poor play?

     

    BTW...I agree that he HAS to make that play on the ball when he gets position. I will say, however, that it is unfair to compair him to McKelvin in that regard. Being a young player and making that type of mistake once, is different from being a veteran an continually making the same mistake. I will maintain that he did make a good play on the ball....the WR Jenkins just made a better play on the ball.
