  1. Glennon is a big slooooow qb. He was sacked 71 times in the last two seasons. The NFL has much faster, better DE and blitzes more often than college teams. This guy will be similar to the old version of Bledsoe at the start of his NFL career. .

  3. If memory serves, Loseman was credited with this "talent."
  4. The counter to this argument, is if they are actually noticing that defenses blitz more when Spiller is on the field in obvious passing downs, then you just throw quick screens to Spiller. Barry Sanders had almost as many negative runs as he did positive runs. Yet, he was on the field all the time and is a HOF running back.
  5. 1) http://espn.go.com/college-football/player/_/id/480210/aaron-murray or 1. OLB Jarvis Jones, junior, Georgia 2. ILB Manti Te’o, senior, Notre Dame 3. WR Terrance Williams, Baylor 4. LB Nico Johnson, senior, Alabama After that: CB DE, OT, OC, In Order of Need: QB, LB, WR, CB, DE, backup OT, backup OC
  6. Here's the deal, if the Bills cut (highly unlikely) Williams, they should do it sooner than later. However, he takes his $50 million guaranteed money, immediately signs with a super bowl contender for a lot less money, since he doesn't need it, (thank you Buffalo) and rides fame and glory with a much better team. In other words cutting him will only punish the Bills. Especially if he signs with the NYJs or NEPs.
  7. Look what Super Blow Champs Washington Redskins OL (the Hogs) did for Mark (chump on any other team) Rypen.
  8. It isn't the stats, its that he was out there busting his a&&, trying to make plays. The kid looked good.
  9. Yeah, I don't get this at all. Naaman is a much better reciever. Regardless of how much time the 5th reciever would/will get, at least Naaman has the abiltiy to make a play on the field. Its a long season and recievers go down. Whenever I saw Martin in the game, he could not make a play and was incapable of going after/fighting for the ball to help out his qb. Other than being taller, Martin has nothing on Naaman.
  10. I think you have this backwards, it is Smith who has to justify his contract.
  11. Beat NE 2x 12 - 4 record Win Division Win Super Bowl
  12. I disagree that Plunkett was mediocre. He had a great college career, was a #1 overall draft pick in 1971 (by NE) and was offensive rookie of the year. MVP of SB XV in 1980 and won 2 SBs 1980 and 1983 for the Raiders. He may not have been flashy, but he wasn't mediocre.
  13. My brother in law has season tickets in the dog pound and has invited my wife and me up for the bills game. So far everything is a go.

  15. For what its worth: "Analysis Read & React: Intelligent player who knows his keys and "feels" his way to the ball. Aggressiveness allows him to be fooled by those keys, like pulling guards, on misdirection and takes a false step forward on play action, but also recovers well and regularly sniffs out reverses and other trick plays to prevent big gains. Run defense: Constantly around the ball, fights traffic easily and steps into gaps instead of waiting for the ballcarriers. Tracks the ball to either sideline but needs perfect angles to beat NFL tailbacks to perimeter. Anchors and can stick bigger backs with lowered pads. Doesn't have elite size to stand up to NFL-caliber linemen, but regularly rips off blocks with strong hands and can make plays even if initially knocked backward. Pass defense: Not an elite athlete. Covers some ground in pass coverage and gets good depth in his drop, taking correct angles to stay with tight ends and bigger slot receivers down the middle. Takes time to reach running backs going into the flat. Reliable tackler in the middle zone to prevent yards after the catch on crossing routes. Tackling: Secure tackler by not a feared one -- plays strong and finds a way to bring down ballcarriers. Drops his hips, keeps his head up to drag down ballcarriers. Makes running backs pay for going out of bounds with a strong shoulder. Occasionally tries to tackle high, allowing the ballcarrier to elude. Relies on hustle and angles, not straight-line speed, to make plays outside the box. Pass Rush/Blitz: Didn't blitz often and lacks great closing speed to reach the quarterback from the stack. Sure open-field tackler who doesn't miss many once he's in the backfield with excellent tackling technique. Intangibles: Exceptional on-field hustle and instincts and off-field work ethic. Gained good weight and muscle since arriving at BC. Should garner top general and football character and intelligence grades. Serves as back-up long snapper.

  16. The Bills tried this when Jauron was HC and unless I am mistaken our undersized LBs got beat up, pushed around, and could not last the season. No thanks. I agree, either stay put and draft the best available player at LT or LB or CB or WR, or if nothing is worthy at the 10 spot, trade down for more draft picks. We have 3 picks of the first 100, so we should get some very good players who should be able to contribute come opening day. I trust Nix and Gailey to make the right decision(s) and feel they've been really good so far.
  17. Disagree. LT is the team's biggest need. Followed by LB, WR, CB, TE in that order.
  18. AGREED! This would have the potential for another Johnson/Flutie debacle which eventually cost Wade Phillips his job. Just say no.
