South Jersey Bills Fan

Bush was drafted 2nd over all...Spiller 9th. The other back on NO is Pierre Thomas who was undrafted. If CJ turns out to be anything close to Reggie, then there is no need to spend a high draft pick for the "workhorse" back on this team. For all those who say he can't handle a full load, I say this position should be relatively easy to fill out. If we are replacing Fred Jackson in a couple of years, so what. Do we really need to have 2 1st round draft picks at running back? And would they both be happy after a while? IMHO. Of course, it doesn't excuse passed draft blunders, but looking ahead, I don't see a problem filling that role.

I can't take too much comfort from this, but thanks.

Marlton, just outside of Philly. I occaisionally go to Champps on 73 to watch the games... I don't get the belligerence...my thoughts are more a waste of time than yours? This is all a pasttime, isn't it?

Change Maybin for Oher and Spiller for Bulaga, do you like this team? How close we were to getting it right.

I know Cognito was one (no, this is not a "why did we release him?" thread), but given the team's lack of ability to protect the QB and/or our QB's inability to make the line look good, shouldn't we cut these guys loose and let them bash the hell out of the D line? Or is there no nasty streak in these guys? I always had heard Wood could be a nasty SOB, not sure I've heard that about any of the others. Maybe this "back to the basics" campaign will bring some of that out. I sure hope so.

Guys, any help here?

I looked at the Bills site and didn't see any mention. I remember going in years past and parking on Saturday (or earlier?). Is that no longer allowed?

While I am excited about our secondary, and it was highly ranked last year, opponents had little need to pass against us. Week two in Green Bay is looming, and I fear we may see some things we don't like. Especially if Troup and company are able to slow down Ryan Grant. I hope I'm wrong, and I still think it's a strong suit, I just felt the need to temper.

No need for the insults. I agree with the OP, the OL is headed in the right direction.

I wouldn't trust this guy...I think he has more bankrupcies than Greece.

I am really surprised that they feel like the other teams in the AFC EAST are going totally in a positive direction. I feel like the Pats are, at best standing still...I also feel that the Parcells affect in Miami is overrated. The Jets have a lot of talent and attitude, but their QB still hasn't proven anything...and they got rid of their top runner last year. I guess it's easier to poke holes in the Bills.

They recorded this at least a week ago because they were not aware of the release of Schobel

I know the Bills received 3 picks for Peters and that the first round pick became Eric Woods. What rounds were the other picks, and who did they become?

Thanks guys...I appreciate the help. I'll let you know how it goes at the end of the season!

Can you guys give me some suggestions? A lot of the magazines on the racks are regergitated crap from drafts and mini camps. I'd like something as current as possible. Thanks, Rick

uh, please push Wood up to the top of my favorites list.

That's what I was wondering...maybe even insisting that the bison be euthenized. That would be an outrage if they decided to do it.

take it easy pal...the guy is just expressing his opinion.

I live in Marlton, near Philly...Point Pleasant is nice!!

I spoke with the former diving coach at GT yesterday. He felt Chan was a good coach at GT, but he tried to force his players into a system instead of vice versa. In college, it is easier to formulate a system for your players instead of the other way around. He felt his style should be better suited for the pros. FWIW.

Never forget Timmy! What about Grave digger? That guy has to have some bucks at this point!!

I thought 1 of the bigger knocks on him was a lack of desire.

Maybe Wolf Blitzer could get some of his beltway buddies to kick in...Or how about Vigo Mortensen? He's from Watertown, but maybe we could convince him to support western NY!!

I didn't read all the posts, but I am sure i is about expectations. High for Hardy, low for Johnson. All things being equal stat-wise Johnson has overachieved and Hardy underachieved.
