Why cant Sammy thrive in an offense based on precision and anticipation?

and I would add to this, it is expected that he would need to get the ball out quicker because its a new offense and concepts from last years whack ass passing offensive scheme

its crazy to me people are advocating groy over wood...groy played well last year when called upon, no doubt. Wood is a damn good center, a damn good center. Even if groy was as good as wood, you start Wood because groy gives you the flexibility to backup 4 spots on the line in case of need. And groy is not as good as Wood. Hoping Dawkins can unseat Mills, because well, Mills is trash.

Camden Yards is a fantastic park and might be my favorite other than Fenway...not the NICEST, but the best because of the location, tour, history and its home to my Sox

What change in blocking scheme exactly? Dennison, we would assume, would want to run stretch/zone blocking as that as been the preference of all offenses he has really been associated with. The Bills of the previous two years used a lot of zone blocking in their run game as well. Don't see this being an issue. Defense will be better by subtraction (of Rex/Rob and their antiquated defense), Gilly or no Gilly.

If these are the only two options on the table; Tims has superior food but DD has superior coffee...neither donuts are really that good though in the scheme of donuts

Audioslave self titled album is one of my faves hands down...what beautiful noise

LOL thanks for the laugh, needed it this morning after hearing sad news. I mean, at least I hope this was a joke post...

we were just talking about him in the shoutbox a couple of days ago.... man this makes me really sad what.a.voice.

yea he has his own scouting firm and NFL teams pay them for their services

"ohhhhh, im SUPPOSED to be able to see the football in the air?"

See the two posts above yours. We as bills fans and a community support our team becaus we are die hards, not because Brandon is a marketing wizard. What did he do? Sold some games to Toronto to build fan base (largely seen as a fail). Branched out to Rochester to extend fan base. Cool bro, I don't think he's a wizard. I also have no problem with him being kept on business side of Pegula sports a season long as he doesn't make any operational calls

I know...just being a dick : )

suite brag brah

This would be the case except we will have gobs of money to spend next year....so we can easily pay Watkins

DING DING DING

good move IF he can get around the laws

you have no idea about that whatsoever, but I do agree about Doug being a good soldier....however, its needed in such a small knit business. If Doug acts like an ass he doesnt get hired again.

I dont want my GM to come in and undermine the current guys on the team (publicly). Coming in and saying "I'm gonna go get us a franchise QB" is a terrible message to TT (even though he may deserve it). Cliches are fine with me in pressers, they are BS league requirements most of the time. He should say "were going to build a winner here from the ground up" and thats it... SHOW US, dont talk at us, showing us is what matters Why couldnt they have been working together and collaborating, with both knowing that Whaley was gone after the draft? That is not possible in your eyes?

Once McDermott was hired, it didnt matter who had control of the 53 because that doesnt matter until games...soooo....

You can think velocity is not an indicator of success all you'd like, but the numbers indicate otherwise. Since 08, there hasnt been a successful NFL QB who threw less than 55 mph. You can say "what did those QBs do in college?" all you want, I don't care if they threw for 15,000 yards in college or never played. The number 55 is the indicator. McCarron and his weak 49 has not shown anything to indicate hes more than a backup. Just because those under 55 dont have great college production does not mean the 55 mph mark is wrong, it means that if you don't have a strong arm you probably aren't going to light it up in college either. The fact remains none of the "under 55" club has ever been anything other than a bust, never was, or career backup. I'll take my chances with the stronger throwers. 2 mph equates to 3 yards on a ball travelling 20 yards...thats a HUGE window (or missed window) in the NFL. "Passing" the Velocity test does not mean you WILL be a good NFL QB, but "failing" it so far has proved that you will NOT be a good NFL QB (I mean "good" as in, potential franchise guy, because who cares about anything else). Peterman came in at 54, could he be the guy who breaks the rule? Sure...but I wont bet on it.

The Eagles were known to have wanted to make McD their coach, but they werent willing to wait until after the superbowl, so they went with next on their list. I am happy with McD. I hope the Pegulas give him enough time if it takes a while.

Call me an optimist, BUT: - we have no idea how our QB will play in a new offense, asking him to do new things (OR who will even be our QB), so we dont know if we will have "zero passing offense" - we have no idea if our LBs can play in McD scheme...many think Ragland/Preston cannot do it, others seem to think they will be fine (if you follow Rob Quinn on twitter, he posted an excellent article last week that shows just how great Preston Brown was as a coverage LB - were talking top 5 in the league - and that he may be a good fit in McD scheme...and would also make sense why we didnt address LB early in the draft or in FA) - like our safeties better than last year, and I personally see CBs in this scheme as "get guys who can do it" which we seem to have done. Yea sucks to lose a talent like Gilmore, but why do you need a corvette on a 40 MPH road? Yea Gilmore could have had success in this D, but so can a lesser DB (and McD has always gotten the most out of under the radar DBs - Norman anyone?) - Shady is Shady, our o-line is as good or better than last year. Who will step up behind Shady? Someone will....first it was Karlos, then it was Gilly, now it will be....next man up. Its the system. - WR depth is an issue no doubt about that...a lot will depend on health and productivity of WRs We do not know the answer to any of the questions above...could we go 5-11? Absolutely. Could we go 11-5? Absolutely....if you choose to think thats not possible, then I am sorry for you as a fan. I choose to be optimistic until theres no other option (usually november 1st as a Bills fan). HEY EY EY EYYYYY!!!!
