There is only a few problems...Stroud isn't a DE in a 3-4 nor is Kelsay, and Carrington is a 4-3 DE. I'll give you Edwards. Troup weight is that of a DT. Schobel has never played 3-4 before, Lankster is practice squad material, McGee and McKelvin are short going against tall guys like Holmes, Marshall, and Moss. Whitner is an average player.
Other than that, I'd say the defense has a ton of potential.
You need to start drinking the buffalobills.com kool-aid

I would say Kelsay's days are numbered, Edwards is still possibly an injury risk and Spencer Johnson probably isn't suited for the 3-4. Carrington is a pretty damn good pick to really strengthen a front 7 that has been seriously upgraded this off-season.
Maybe Carrington will be as good as Chris Ellis???

as assistant GM..
1st round - Tomlinson
2nd round - Brees
Go get your boy in the 2nd Buddy, and let's get this **** started.
you can't teach speed. just watched the spiller highlight reel and he has it. Bills have the best RB in the AFC East now.

Sadly I agree.
But at #9 I say it was too high, Denver knew that Buffalo wanted Tebow but had more picks to work with.
We shall see what happens.
If you agree that Tebow is a once in a lifetime player, then #9 wouldn't have been too high.

ML has 1 year left, give Spiller time to develop and then let him take over next year?
Run Lynch into the ground this year then say bye bye to him.
-
Spiller is a playmaker but not the right pick for this team with so many gapping holes elsewhere. Don't like it.
Makes it easier to trade away Lynch and pick up another lineman.

Was just thinking Jenn Brown was pretty hot. Don't remember seeing her before. Anyone know her history?
She is one fine piece of ace. I know from experience.

How many 350 pound guys who are mostly muscle do you see out there? They're absolutely huge, and they also have to have tremendous strength. They don't just absorb double-team blocks. They're also supposed to move a step or two towards the play while doing so. Can't you see how difficult it might be to move whichever way you feel like while 650 pounds of weight-trained tough guys do their best to stop you from doing so?
Disagree. I'm 180 pounds and could EASILY do the same job. NT = piece of cake.

Why? How much could you really know about Buddy Nix and his abilities? Sure I have read a few things, but I don't KNOW what decisions in say, San Diego were HIS decisions etc. Fans know nothing but hearsay about these front office guys and even coaches. The only real evaluations that a fan can make is of players and what they do on the field. You don't KNOW anything about Buddy Nix's abilities.
If they spend the 2nd pick on Tebow when they could have gotten McNabb for it (not sure they can) I'm DONE.
Why would you be DONE? You don't KNOW that Tebow will be worse for the Bills than McNabb, just like we don't KNOW about Nix and his abilities. McNabb has been a winner his whole life, but maybe Nix's ability to identify talent is actually better than the average person. And if you're going to trade a second round pick for McNabb, you HAVE to make sure you get him for more than one season.
And for those complaining about Tebow's religion, who cares? Alot of guys in the NFL actually are religious, so I don't think it really matters.

I believe that teams should be able to pick what pick they want. If the worst team wants the 5th pick, the 2nd worst can take the 1st and so on. I think the salaries paid to the top picks really hinders a team.
They can do that if they want. Once you are on the clock, if you don't make a pick, then the next team in line can pick ahead of you.

I don't know what it is about CBS Sports, but I have never liked their NFL coverage. Well, since the days of Brent Musberger, Irv Cross, Phyllis George, and Jimmy the Greek on the old NFL Today show.
I'm not a fan of Jim Nantz. I always think of the Masters when I hear him. Simms is very good (better than Troy Aikman, but still a distant second to Cris Collinsworth).
Can't stand the pregame show, though. Thoughts?
if they put Gus Johnson in with the top crew it would be more exciting
-
He's been off the air for a long time now.....at least on a regular basis. I always thought his analysis of the bills was usually fairly accurate.
Like him or not, he did know football. His draft previews were always pretty good - he did a good job reviewing players and telling of their strengths and limitations. He was crying for the bills to fix their oline years ago. Maybe the bills should have listened. Look at the mess we've had there for a decade.
You can bet he would have been crucifying the bills the past few years, especially for the lousy job Jauron was doing ...... but honestly most of his "complaints/rants" are the same things the majority of the posters on tbd are clamoring for.
With the joke WGR is lately I'd welcome him back. You may not like his opinions on matters but he was a hundred times more interesting than Schlep and the Poodle

Experienced coordinators means the ones that get fired by poor teams and will work for low $$
Yea, it's BS. And they're going to try and sell Frazier to the fans just like they did with Williams, Mularkey and Jauron. I'm sick of them hiring head coaches with no NFL head coaching credibility. Frazier has none, correct?

the common theme of all those articles is the negative effect of the marathon on the individuals body, and how long it took to recover. if one were to train again during the recovery period, they'd be doing serious harm to their bodies ... JUST LIKE a football player that trains BETWEEN games.
as for my individual experience i'll share one with you. i have a sibling of comparable age, size and same sex. historically he was a better athlete than i am. however he bought into the whole cardio-aerobic training hype years ago and has religiously been doing several routines on a weekly basis. i, on the other hand, jogged for maybe a year or two and then stopped about 10 years ago because my intuition told me this was hurting, not only my joints but also my endurance, the very thing it was supposed to help most. my only training activity has been weights, mostly nautilus machines. (as it turns out too much, but less excessive than most fitness types.)
anyway years later im visibly more muscled than he is, stronger (he looks frail) and, what would surprise most people, my endurance is far greater. im also far less susceptible to illness. we went hiking recently and he needed to stop all the time ... me almost never. that supports my point that cardio systems support muscles, and rise and fall with muscle density. working on cardio has it ass backwards, it actually shrinks muscles and makes a weaker cardio system!!! also, after muscles are worked they need a much longer recovery period than nearly everyone realizes.
anyway, what do you think the most probable cause(s) of the bills excessive injuries has been?
1. Marathoning is COMPLETELY different than playing football. Stop with the marathoning studies as support for the Bills excessive injuries. Maybe the Bills are overtraining in other ways, but I guarantee you they are NOT running marathons!
2. As for your individual experience, you are leaving out several factors. First, THAT is just one example and too little to draw conclusions from. What has your diet been in relation to your brother? I mean, if you're brother is eating Big Macs and partying it up while you are eating responsibly to support your workouts, that is going to make a huge different in the results you see. What do you and you brother do for a living? We spend huge amounts of our lives working and I believe this plays a role in how we age. Also, just b/c you are comparable ages and sizes, does not mean your genetic makeups are the same. If you're trying to make him off as your identical twin, you can't.
Like I said, maybe you are right that the Bills are overtraining OFF THE FIELD, but maybe it's just a fact of them overtrying ON THE FIELD, maybe being a very young and inexperienced team. I just think you're trying to make parallels with evidence that doesn't really support your theory.

Trung Canidate?

thanks for ridiculously exaggerating what i said, on a very serious health matter. nice work fella. you're obviously sold on over training. i wish you the best of luck in still being able to walk as you age. most marathoners end up old biologically old well before their time and many barely able to walk. and just look at all the fatties busting their butts on stairmasters "week in/week out" before lecturing anyone. weight management is all about calories consumed, you cannot "burn off" fat with cardio from over eating, another huge myth. at most you may be able to generate excess calorie usage of around 250 in an intense workout session which is nothing compared to the calorie intake of over eating. and most people simply increase their calorie intake above and beyond what the burn in a gym anyone, to compensate. working off excess eating ... especially sugars ... would mean coming close to death. something the messengers in ancient greece did all the time at the end of their runs (i.e. the original marathon runners for whom the race was named after.)
I'm pretty sure the Bills are NOT running marathons during the week.
I get your point, though, MAYBE their Bills are being overworked during the week. Or MAYBE they have a bunch of undersized players. Or MAYBE they have a bunch of athletes less skilled than those on the other teams and get themselves in awkward situations. Regardless, all of this is just pure speculation. But, I think you are very quick to dismiss certain types of recovery workouts that the Bills could do during the week (if they aren't already), such as yoga, stretching, light indoor biking...BREATHING is another very important aspect to athletic performance and by being a "couch potato" for an entire week that aspect of performing on the field goes quickly.

Lou Reed is a closer comparison to Andre than Josh Reed is.
And Josh is as hot as Donna Reed

Before the season, nobody knew we would need a right tackle. As it turns out, he would have been a great pick, but our need was at LT and Oher looked like an RT, and he still does.
A sensational RT, and still a question mark at LT.
Are you suggesting that Brad Butler had proven himself at RT, because he hadn't. And what kind of proven depth did we have at RT?
-
Everything Chad Johnson does is about one thing, drawing attention to Chad Johnson.
If I really wanted to pay a tribute he should show up, play and not doing anything during the game that gives anyone any reason to say anything about him. Allowing people to talk about the game and Chris Henry is far more tribute then the Johnson sideshow.
Good to know you decide how other people should express themselves.

Is the game sold out?
I think the Bills will play with a lot of emotion and fire like the Dolphins game. I think Behlicheck will pound the run despite the obvious push to go back to Moss. For a team out of the playoffs since before thanksgiving, this game and the last game against the likely unbeaten Colts are great.... go bills!
I'm wondering how many of the fans at the game with be Pats fans though???

Like Lawrence Taylor said to Ken O'Brien, "Son, you got to do better than that." That type of post will get blasted at this site.
Yea, there is always such astute insight here

Weird, sounds like Lynch.
Except Lynch is the one doing the hurtin with the vehicle.

Writer's conclusion..."If Pettigrew actually owned Trent Edwards, then he's suffered enough. Someone please hire the man."
My conclusion...If Pettigrew actually owned Trent Edwards, I understand why the man was fired.

Lucky we never had any of those then. Wish we'd re-signed Jason Peters, though, who only missed four games in five years with the Bills and is a terrific pass blocker.
But back to the thread's topic, it's just about impossible to argue that Byrd belongs.
What do you guys think about the fact, though, that he has two fourth-down INTs? Are those legit? Not that that is a major point, it's a minor footnote. The guy is always in the right place at the right time.
Well you take those two away and he still has 6 INTs, still two more than the next FS in the AFC. How many 4th-down INTs do the other guys on the list have? Being in the right place at the right time is what producing is about...if he were in the wrong place at the wrong time what good is that? How many times do you watch winners like Brady/Manning pull throws & games out of their a$$ and you're left scratching your head thinking they are the luckiest ba$tards on earth?

My post was more a criticism of Ellis than Carrington. I really do hope Carrington ends up panning out better than Ellis. If he plays one down, he will.
