    Nawrocki predicts Spiller

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    It had better happen soon. Nobody will give up a 2nd for Lynch after we've drafted Spiller.

     

    Yes, I was thinking about that. Do you think it's happen in the first few picks or before the draft? If we traded him too early, teams would know we'd targeted Spiller and then use that against us. What a dance the nfl draft is.

    First round predictions!

    At the 9 spot:

    I'll be happy with: Okung, T. Williams, Bulaga

    I'll be neutral, but give Nix the benefit of the doubt: Clausen, McClain, Dan Williams

    Unhappy with: Any DB, Dez Bryant, Derrick Morgan, Brandon Graham, Tim Tebow (I'd be neutral if he were taken in the 2nd)

     

    I think Nix wants Bulaga, but we'll see if he's there.

     

    P.S. I think Cody might help us more than Dan Williams :eek:

    good power plant but high cut and a bit of a waist bender, stout at point of attack,wins the fight in the phone booth

     

    or has suddenness, can pick his way through the trash, typewriter feet, plays with bad intentions,

     

    or breaks ankles with his change of direction, knows how to get small,

    I LOVE the phone booth one. Find it hilarious.

    Jon Gruden QB Special

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    Am I the only one that thought Gruden was hard to watch? I liked Tebow as a prospect, but after watching that he's taken a bit of a hit in my book. His release is getting faster, but the Q&A part in the beginning was awful. Rushed sentences and he seemed defensive, you could see his answers had been coached. Granted, he's a football player, and has much success in college-I also can't blame him for being defensive during the draft process. I am not completely opposed to drafting him, but this interview bothered me. I know all prospects are coached up for the draft process, but Clausen actually seemed to just be himself in the Q&A, and carried on a dialogue with Gruden, thinking about the questions and responding. Tebow seemed like he knew what he was going to say before any questions were asked.

     

    I hope whichever QB we draft this year turns out to be our franchise player. I'll support whoever gets drafted, although I'll hope they keep their political views less public than their football. Also, I actually haven't watched all of Gruden's interview with McCoy, because Gruden was so unbearable I had to stop it. He is just terrible when he's being filmed.

     

    EDIT: someone did react like I did! Except I thought Clausen was fine given the circumstances:

    I didn't see all of this (really, just a chunk of the Clausen segment), but I thought Gruden was awful. He seemed much more interested in looking like a big shot than he did in creating useful analysis. I wasn't too terribly impressed with Clausen, but I got the feeling he just wanted to bolt because Gruden was browbeating him. Gruden went into the show with a Mike Wallace "Gotcha" attitude, and the second Clausen tried to explain that someone else made a mistake, Gruden pounced on him. It was like he had an agenda to prove that Clausen is the weaselly little turd that so many unofficial scouts say he is. Clausen may very well be a weaselly turd; Gruden is worse.

     

    Tangent on Gruden being absolutely awful on film over :thumbdown:

    Clausen is a Bum

    Gruden was completely ridiculous in that "interview." It was like watching Gruden trying to present himself as a football 'guru' more than getting information from Clausen. However, I'm on the Clausen train so I could just be seeing only what I want to see.

     

    EDIT: Rewatched. Maybe he isn't "ridiculous," but Gruden still rubs me the wrong way.

    Any "little birds" out there? Where is all the inside info?

    I think we really like Saffold in the 2nd. Granted, I'm a big fan of his, so maybe it is wishful thinking on my part, however we do have the coaching connection to him:

     

    While Saffold has spoken with quite a few NFL franchises – including the Jacksonville Jaguars, Indianapolis Colts, San Diego Chargers, Miami Dolphins, Atlanta Falcons and Oakland Raiders – the Bills have one added connection providing Buffalo with intimate knowledge about the pass protecting Hoosier.

     

    Saffold’s former offensive line coach at Indiana, Bobby Johnson, joined Chan Gailey’s staff just over a month ago as the assistant offensive line coach. The impact that Johnson had on the development of Saffold was significant.

     

    “Of course, Coach Johnson, it’s always good seeing your coach down there,” Saffold told BuffaloBills.com of his meeting with Johnson and the Bills front office at the NFL combine. “Of course when you get in there for the interview and he’s looking at you, you kind of want to look around at everybody. It really makes you feel more comfortable, especially with me being the only Indiana offensive lineman there.”

     

    A reunited partnership between the two would only serve to help Saffold’s transition to the professional ranks. The bulky tackle is fully aware of the positives that come from further work with Johnson, who obviously already knows his strengths and weaknesses.

     

    “It could be good because anybody could just go ahead and glorify you,” said Saffold. “But somebody that knows your weaknesses can make you better on the road to being a part of the NFL. It’s just being able to be aware that he knows your weaknesses, and to be able to work a lot harder.”

    Draft double speak

    I think it's all a cleverly disguised ploy to conquer the world. Chan and Buddy (hereafter referred to as Pinky and the brain for legal reasons) have a plan and it is for nothing short of world domination. It all started back in 1972 in a green metallic buick skylark and a man named Vincent Laguardia Gambini. It was a leap year and generally considered a fine, if not spectacular, year by all folks. It was the longest year ever, and a simpler time.

     

    Then Pinky and The Brain hatched their scheme to begin world domination in Tokyo. They had a problem though, they needed a boat. They attempted to steal a boat since it had the same name that Pinky used for his shower sponge, The RMS Queen Elizabeth. Unfortunately, it ended up with the boat going down on fire.

     

    However, the flames reflecting on Pinky's head gave The Brain an idea. There was only one way to truly conquer the modern world and that was through the Buffalo Bills. So the plot truly began. The Super Bowl was coming up and they only had a little time to get there and ensure that the Dolphins didn't win and the Cowboys managed to dominate the game setting a nmber of records. Oh, but how?

     

    The Brain had a plan. So they set off to recruit 70s porn star, Lisa De Leeuw to ensure the outcome of the Super Bowl. Miss De Leeuw was in a quandry as she the male actor for her film wasn't up to the task which prevented her from finishing the movie and going to New Orleans our dynamic duo. Pinky and The Brain knew what they had to do. It turned out to be a boon tot heir cause because all the plugging and filling of holes allowed Pinky to develop a great ways to protect the quarterback and stop large men from filling the wrong holes during the making of the film. That problem solved, they were on their way to fix Super Bowl VI.

     

    After arriving in New Orleans, they immediately began brainstorming just how they could stop the impressive running attack of the Miami Dolphins. Even the Doomsday Defense of the Cowboys would have their hands full. They got Lisa De Leeuw going right away with forging tiny little butterflies made out of iron with the blacksmithing skills she picked up from Shirley Chisholm, the first African American Congresswoman. How they met and stopped Shula from using a super secret play from Nixon that would have won the game and allowed the communists to win is a story for another time though.

     

    After she had made 138 iron butterflies, the fix was in. It was well known that Larry Csonka and Jim Kiick both loved butterflies, but that the elemental makeup of Iron weakened them. It was their super hero weakness. However, they had only completed 137 butterflies and it was just an hour prior to kickoff. They wouldn't be able to get the butterflies to the stadium in time without some help.

     

    Luckily, John Conyers, a time traveling congressman from Detroit (he is also the reason they got Barry Sanders) had heard of the successful foiling of Nixon's plot by our team and had come to help. However, they were stolen by a dastardly villian, but it was ok because with the combined power of John Conyers, Pinky, Lisa Du Leeuw, and The Brain they could chase him down. You can see footage of the chase in the video below:

     

     

    So now they were finally ready to release the butterflies throughout the stadium. They climbed up to the highest point in the stadium and threw open the sack. Unfortunately, Iron at that time was not lighter than air and they just sort of fell out slightly injuring the toe of a guy selling cotton candy. Luckily, that Dolphins team sucked and lost anyway setting up the Dallas franchise to eventually beat the Bills in two SuperBowls ushering in an era of futility and think that Barry Switzer could coach giving Pinky the perfect opportunity to coach the Cowboys. His stint with the Cowboys setup his eventual freedom from coaching to become the head coach of the Bills after they were infiltrated by Scout/Part Time Ninja/Taco Salesman, The Brain.

     

    The next step is actually to draft, Eric Berry, then announce Dick Jauron has purchased the team and will be making all Football decisions and playing quarterback. It's a short step from there to ruling the world. So you're right on in your assessment that the interest in Tebow is just a ploy. You just didn't take the theory far enough!

     

    Wow

    UPDATED: Tim Tebow, QB, Denver Broncos

    Let's set the scene. Florida was up 24-14 with 2 minutes to go in the 4th quarter. On 2nd-and-9 from the Oklahoma 35, Tebow rushed for 13 yards, pulled down a little too hard by Oklahoma's Nic Harris.

     

    Tebow popped up and started jawing. Then he gave Harris the Gator Chomp. There is the briefest of pauses by the referee, perhaps because he is shocked that the taunt is coming from Tebow. But then the flag comes out.

     

    Locker room tension between harris and tebow ahhhh

    What do you want the Bills to do with the #9 PICK?

    You dont work for the Bills so just let them do their jobs and STFU.

     

    What's the point of a forum?

     

    BTW I'd like to see them trade back and nab Mike Iupati and then Saffold. Our O line wouldn't be looking so shabby then. I like Saffold more than Williams, Davis, and I'm not sold on Bulaga. I would say Okung and Saffold are the two safest tackles in the draft, but then again, I'm just some guy.

    Rumor: Pennington Being Considered

    I just don't think that Bradford, Clausen, or Vick would work in Buffalo. I think we NEED to go OT then NT in rounds 1 & 2, and then get someone like the much discussed LeFevour in the third (for the record I am not in favor of drafting Pike). This draft should be all about the lines, and maybe a QB in the third and an ILB later on.

     

    Bring in someone like (in no particular order): Collins, Thigpen, Garcia, Pennington (although I doubt we actually do go after him), or dare I say McNabb?? etc. Have Brohm/Rookie QB learn from the veteran. Does bringing in one of the aforementioned veteran qb's mean I think that they will be probowlers? Of course not (well, perhaps McNabb could be). However I do think any of them would be a huge improvement over what we currently have.
