  1. What does your third sentence have to do with the first two?
  2. I agree. OT Light. He is good in scheme blocking but I like a road grader there. Also he misses a lot of time through injury. His talent is useless (and therefore likely to be very expensive) if he doesn't see the field. Sorry. Re previous post read "zone blocking scheme".
  3. Its just a random statement of fact and probably the truth - having a preference for taking the butcher's word for it I mean. On the other hand, anyone making such a dumb post is probably capable of anything, including sticking his head up a bull's azz... BTW love the avatar. Somebody said it was a pic of Wade lol!
  4. No. Merely an empirical observation and fundamental truth IMO (unless he's lieing, which wouldn't surprise me either).
  5. Correct. Bad news. Really wanted Fairley and now doubt he will be there at 3.
  6. If he declares I believe Carolina willdefinitely take A. Luck. I am very wary of making claims and predictions concerning the pro career of any college athlete, but I subscribe to the (still minority) thinking that Luck is not just the legit # 1, but very possibly a once in a decade type of talent at that all important position and one that nobody can pass on.
  7. Indeed surprising quickness for a man his size. More likely to pressure the passer than stuff the run.
  8. I like CJ too. He looks like a really great kid and frankly I'm glad he got paid - if he turns out not to be great investment, thats on the FO because CJs got great attitude and I'm sure is willing to learn and improve. The problem I have, in addition to the oft cited "lack of vision" and "failure to adjust to the pro game" is the lack of burst, for a guy who was supposed to be all about burst. You see it especially on kick off returns, where he should excel. He seems somewhat tentative and I just don't see the explosion you have in good return guys (who are often not high draft choices). That is probably what worries me most. He is not the most dangerous return man on this team. Leodis is. Trouble is Leodis is as dangerous to the Bills as to the opposition. McGee was also better (so far at least) in his day.
  9. Actually the reason he is so good is because he is pretty big (6'1", 215 is not a small back), pretty strong (consistently breaks tackles and gets the extra yards) and fast enough (witness his long run vs the Bengals if memory serves).
  10. I thought I did say something about a better supporting cast. And by the way the Giants (and Hoststler) beat us was by keeping our offense, and their "world class" defense off the field. Remember? ok ok its Rod Woodson. And BTW its starrymessenger.
  11. Maybe you should have a look at Freakpops post. I didn't see it before posting myself. He probably makes the point better than I did.
  12. The fact that Plunkett was drafted #1 overall is really beside the point. His career had many low points, and this had to do with his play. Rob Woodson disagrees with you. He says, as good as they were defensively, the Ravens owed a lot to Dilfer for their Super Bowl season. Bill Belichik and Bill Parcells both speak glowingly of Hostetler, and for a reason. The point is that a QB with a certain skill set and mind set, though with less than HOF credentials, can do enough to help his team win a Superbowl. Fitz is that kind of QB.
  13. QBs with very apparent deficiencies to their game have led teams to Super Bowl victories: Jim Plunkett, Jeff Hoststler (remember him Bills fans), Trent Dilfer. You can win without a HOF QB. With a better supporting cast on both sides of the ball, and a few breaks that every Super Bowl team must benefit from, RF could lead the Bills to a Super Bowl. Not saying that this will happen of course, but it is clearly within the realm of the possible. Not saying either that a HOF QB wouldn't be nice. Just pointing out that it is not necessary.
  14. Football is not baseball. If you stop playing hard you expose yourself to injury or you detract from the execution you need in tougher games. Even then, I doubt Pete Rose, and ballplayers like him would agree with your baseball comment generally. Again football is not baseball - when Brady lines up under centre he is facing 11 guys who literally want to kill him, and some of them are quite capable of doing it. His revenge, and his vindication is to beat them like a rented mule. Bear in mind too that when he does that he is setting himself up for more hate and more aggression. Let him stir the pot, it sells tickets and makes the game of football more interesting. He is the bad guy wrestler we all love to hate. Cudos to the great Tom Brady until we are good enough to shut him up. Arther Moats, where are you?
  15. Wow its Cortland Finnegan. BTW is he black (or just black and blue after Johnson got done with him)? "Finnegan" sure sounds Irish.
  16. Thats because only five of what he said were words.
  17. Hes not only a scumbag, but hes a hypocrite, a coward and a liar (a coward because he is trying to mitigate the punishment, a liar because that really is exactly what the Jets are about). Finns should take his apology and shove it up his @ss (after B word slapping him around the clubhouse for awhile).
  18. It constitutes a battery at law, with potential civil and criminal law implications. This is not a risk that players knowingly and reasonably assume.I would refer the matter to the local DA just like with the sausages.
  19. Make sure the tub is empty. I don't know whether he would work out but I've heard the Bills like him and he is from Chan's neck of the woods (ACC). Word is Chan and Buddy like ACC/SEC players.
