Not to mention the massive amounts of steroids he's taken have destroyed his body. Looks like a physical specimen on the outside, but on the inside, his body is breaking down. The knee injury was just the beginning. He'll spend more time on the injury list than on the field in future seasons.

The guy doesn't want to play football. Unless that changes, everything else is just conversation.

The OL is a question mark like the rest of the offense. Have no idea how good or how bad they are. It's tough to spot any trends when all of us fans got a shot at playing OL last year due to all the injuries, plus you had 2-3 rookies starting on any given game day. I can't stress enough that continuity and coaching matters. Trading your LT, canning your OC, adapting to the no-huddle, then throwing that away when it didn't work, protecting three different quarterbacks, all with different throwing progressions and ability to read the defense and routes, canning your HC mid-season, plus all the injuries...it makes Fred Jackson's achievements last year look like weekly miracles. Last year was such an epic mess, and this team still won six games. I think that's a sign that the team has talent.

Gailey knows what he has in Fitzpatrick and Edwards. Plenty of tape on those guys. He doesn't with Brohm, and especially Brown. Smart move on Gailey's part as this goes a long way in settling the Brohm debate. See what Brohm has so you don't waste time having a 3-way race in training camp. If he does poorly now, it's a manageable competition between Fitzpatrick and Edwards for Q1 and Q2. If Brohm does well during rookie camp, I'd be worried, Trent Edwards.

Evidence that coaching does matter. This team got six wins despite Jauron and company. That's evidence alone that there is talent on the team.

If you're 40 years old, the only position on the field that's probably a fit is the punter. Outside of Brett Farve, I can't recall any 40+ years old players starting besides the punter and the 71st resurrection of Junior Seau.

Thanks guys. Looking forward to the trip and the game.

Thinking of coming up for the Jets/Bills game in October. Any suggestions on good hotels to stay for the weekend?

There is an assumption that all teams treat their practice squad the same. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writ...quad/index.html I'd submit that perhaps Green Bay did not do a very good job in teaching and coaching Brohm and Meredith, who do have talent. I think it's tough to be Brohm or Meredith and go from practice squad on one team to starting on another in the same season and fans to expect them to execute the playbook to perfection. This season will be the true test of what the Bills have in those guys.

I agree about Moats. I think he'll be very good. A bigger, stronger London Fletcher at ILB.

If he goes anywhere, and that's a colossal IF, I think it will be Minnesota.

I'm punting on who the quarterback should be until training camp. The way I see it, Gailey's offense is going to be completely different from that of Jauron's, so how do we have any idea on how the quarterbacks will fare? There are *system* quarterbacks in college and the NFL. I'm not convinced any quarterback would have been successful in Jauron's system. I think his offense was so bad, that it's difficult to compare quarterback ability based on it.

I'd offer that perhaps there is something with the logistics of having an NFL player who so happens to be a registered sex offender that is making NFL teams exceptionally wary. Crossing state lines, questions of residency, etc. may be a nightmare that NFL Security and team security doesn't want to deal with over the course of the season.

Wang, Chung and two guys with the last name of Knight. Wang, Chung and the two Knights. Somewhere at an obscure state fair, the Outfield plots its glorious return.

Wow, he is that heavy?

In consideration that the entirety of the NFL season operates on the "any given Sunday" approach, there are always surprise teams, and that the Bills won six games *despite* having an offensive line picked from guys in the stands, half the team on the injury list, a marketing guy as GM and Dick Jauron as coach, of course you have to be optimistic. When you can win six games against *all* those odds, imagine what you can do with less injuries, a solid draft, and a GM and coach who knows what their doing? Why not be optimistic? The only direction the team has...is up.

Wouldn't rule out an offer either.

Biggest weakness isn't a position, it's an overall lack of depth at each position, especially the lines. When we had injuries last year, we were on the third and fourth string. There was no second string in terms of talent.

Any move up has got to be for Saffold. If they don't move up for him, the Eagles will surely get him at #37.

Really? Mel Kiper would spontaneously combust if that happened.

What would be nice....is for the Bills and Redskins to swap spots so we could land Okung.

The rapidly changing screen in the back of him gave me a couple of seizures, but once i picked myself up off the floor and patched up my head wound, it wasn't too bad of a video to watch. Did remind me though of some local 6pm newscast from 1991 with the tastefully minimalistic set.

Could always be a three way trade ala the Eric Dickerson trade in 1987. You'd have the Steelers sending BR to say the Bills (hypothetically) for either the #9 or a second round in 2010 and second round in 2011. The Bills in turn, trade BR to another team for a slew of picks.

I agree that Modrak will probably be gone once this draft is over. The work on the 2010 draft was already underway when Nix and Co. came into town. I'd think Nix and Whaley want their own guys.

I wonder where Haynesworth is going.
