Pros:
Ideal size: 6'4 228lbs
Awareness and athleticism to shift around in the pocket very well
Strong arm with excellent deep ball accuracy
Can scramble for extra yards when needed
Can make throws on the run (Best in class)
Good production despite dismal OL
Very fluid delivery
Tough to bring down
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The best trait that sticks out with Dysert to me is his ability to be deadly accurate while throwing on the run.
If memory serves, Loseman was credited with this "talent."

Is it just me or were there a bunch of really weird calls in the Pats Niners game? Followed up of course with some long wordy and ultimately incomprehensible explanations by Ed Hochuli. The one that really baffled me was when Brady was almost sacked in the 1st half and ended up releasing the ball in an incomplete pass. The pass was a lateral if not slightly backward so it should have been a fumble? Hochuli comes up with some convoluted explanation that because Brady was hit while throwing and he intended to throw it forward (how the hell would Ed know that) it was an incomplete forward pass. But the defender doesnt hit the ball just Brady so how was it not a lateral? and therefore a fumble? Or was this the usual refs helping the Pats BS? And why wasnt it challenged?

Whether or not it is smart or not to keep him on the bench.
CJ Spiller is really bad in pass protection. Like seriously bad. Teams are starting to blitz more when CJ is in there in obvious passing situations, so not only does this prevent him from running a pattern b/c he has to stay in and block, but it also gets a blitzer matched up on a sub-par blocker. Teams do this a lot against the Saints as well... but they have Brees who can make plays better than Fitz can. It was a bigger problem than usual on Sunday b/c of all backups on the OL going against a good Rams DL.
If you get a chance watch what happens when CJ has to stay in and block... it's not pretty.
CJ definitely needs the ball more... but this is my reasoning on why he is out of the game so much.
-Jon
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.
Not sure if it's related but I did hear Coach Gailey say after the game that when CJ is in teams are stacking 9 in the box to stop him. He and Fred both did get stuffed quite a bit in the Lambs game. They both had a couple of nice runs and a bunch of 1 yard or less runs.
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.

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

there is nothing the Bills can do except wait for a point in the contract where it becomes cost effective, and cut him.
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.

...the bottom line in this results-oriented game of football is since the early stages of the 3rd quarter in week one, Fitz has thrown 8 TDs, 0 picks, and the Bills have outscored their opponents 80-45.
I really still don't know what to make of Fitz, but it's amazing what having a good OL and DL can do for a team.
Look what Super Blow Champs Washington Redskins OL (the Hogs) did for Mark (chump on any other team) Rypen.

6) Go ahead.....tell me about the wonderful stats that Spiller had today. I'm not impressed. His fumble before the half cost us an opportunity to get back into the football game. And this is nothing new. Many of us cling to stats in order to justify whatever or whoever we chose to validate, be it management, coaches, players, or dumb draft selections. I personally do not. I want us to make the f-*^$%g playoffs.
It isn't the stats, its that he was out there busting his a&&, trying to make plays. The kid looked good.

I get why but so disappointed Naaman Roosevelt didn't get the call. Gailey values special teamers. It's the only reason to keep bringing back Martin. He certainly can't catch a ball.
PTR
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.

Balls to the wall.

I guess it depends on what pick we get but I think WR is what we need most
I'd like us to draft in position #32.

I believe that Chixley feel they have to justify his signing last year so they won't let him go.
I think you have this backwards, it is Smith who has to justify his contract.

I think Jim Plunkett would qualify too, though I'm too young to really say.
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.

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.

Oh I don't think he's necessarily a physically dominating LB by any means...But I don't think he's a soft kitty either...
What is pretty much indisputable is the fact that he has great instincts in the Passing game (Mayock says the best he's ever seen coming out), and he makes a ton of tackles...
I'm not sold on Kuechly being the guy at #10 either...And I'm not saying he's the next Ray-Ray...But I definitely don't think he's real soft...And I think he's a better player than Poz is, was, and will be, without playing a Down in the NFL...I really mean that...
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. "

(They're normally college safeties who get turned into fast NFL LBs.)
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 know many posters flounce at this, but I don't think Kalil is worth mortgaging this year's, or next year's, top-echelon picks. I'm certainly an advocate of drafting offensive lineman (I think one could argue question marks at both tackle positions, as well as depth in the interior), but I think beyond a few positions (OT, WR, LB, etc) the Bills' greatest "need" is depth. We've seen our team-- in each of the last several years-- undone by injuries and a shallow depth chart. Drafting players to fill holes in the starting roster is always ideal, but not at the expense of the remaining players who will work in rotational roles or round out the depth chart.
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.
-
I'm not saying that it's not a need I'm just saying it's not the biggest need
Disagree. LT is the team's biggest need.
Followed by LB, WR, CB, TE in that order.

I think Tebow is a great person and he can be a player in this league, but as a poster stated on another thread, he is too much of a distraction. Do you really want Tebowmania running wild in Buffalo?
I hope we pass.
AGREED!
This would have the potential for another Johnson/Flutie debacle which eventually cost Wade Phillips his job. Just say no.

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. .
