Green Lightning

I'd take getting to the QB every third play. I've never seen a 3-4 linebacker bowl over a OT anyway. If he's a third down guy at first, and effective, so be it. We need pressure and he may be the answer.

He would have hired Chan Gailey as his OC and we'd be witth same crew now to see if they can play or pick one in next year's draft.

Valid point especially on passing downs. I don't see many OLB's bowling over OT's.

Why ignore mpl? Let's make him our TSW project. As the Bill's improve and win it will be fun to see him turnaround his thinking and his posts. He obviously cares. He just needs a reason to believe. Change is coming and it's all good.

It's hard not to suck in the NFL.

Wow, forgot about him. That has to be the worst example.

JW - I agree with the above. I was in media and now in government and politics and I can tell you first hand what a bag of wind and crap Freddy is. I just can't stand the guy.

I wouldn't say your not wanted here but you are a "glass is always half empty" guy. My take is that you are on the younger side and maybe have never seen a good Bills team. It is also vintage Bill's fan and Western New York thinking that nothing ever goes right. Well, that's not true and I think the team is poised for a turnaround. I like the the new FO and our new coach a lot better than "shoot from the lip" Freddy Smerlas. But your trolling can't be overly criticised until we win and show steady improvement. Then it's up to you to reflect that positive change in your thinking and writing. Just sayin'........

MPL - I thought it would be another annoying "let's sign another team's trash" thread at first but it's not the case. Some posters should get the benefit of the doubt and San Jose is clearly one of them. He's (I assume he)a solid contributor.

Thanks Mike, Really appreciated, Nice reporting.

Threads like these have been too many and there's more to come like it. Bottom line is there will be no tackle signed until Buddy and Chan size up Bell, Merideth and the rest of what we have on the roster. We're going with what we have and everyone on TSW will just have to get used to it.

It was a crushing mistake, but let's move on and let Leodis move on. We don't need him to lose his nerve or confidence. He's a spectacular return guy.

I think it's common for converted DE's called 3-4 syndrome. It's often followed after the player says "who's covering that guy....doh it's me...."

He may have jammed the shoulder when he jerked his arm back after assuming a three point stance.

BTW - Not one sign of Darth Ice in this thread. You guys think he's okay or should be concerned and reach out to him????

Not much drama here and the PFT article states the obvious but very succinctly. We'd all love to see a new exciting QB in town. But the FO had it's reasons for not doing that. And the only way that makes sense is to see if Trent has it in him. We'll know soon enough.

Watch the first NE game again and tell me how well he did. He played between two rooks, then a rook and an unknown, than another unknown, etc. He anchored a line, that despite "fresh off the street that week" players still produced a 1,000 yard rusher. He and Levitre were the only two who played every game. But other than going back on revisionist interpretations, what's more important is how he looks now. Suffice to say if he's starting this year, it's because people who have forgotten more about football than you or I will ever learn, made the determination that he's our best bet at the position. As I said, he's not an all pro - but your toss off of him as "joke" is specious and unfounded.

Waddy Harvey. You just have to love a guy (DT) named Waddy. Oh, and.... Marlin Briscoe Jim Braxton Mike Stratton Robert James George Saimes Ron McDole

Hope you're right Hossage. Thanks for the post.

Likely you didn't watch any of the games last year. Hangartner held his own against some pretty good NT's. He's not all pro but he is far from a "joke" as you put it. He's a good player and will provide great depth and can start if need be. That is a pretty good person to have on your team. If Wood is better, play him. It doesn't make the other guy a joke.

Not really as we were in the 4-3 for awhile at that point and it was painfully obvious our guys were too damn small and had nothing left late in the game. This is a rebuild and one that will make this team bigger and stronger.

1) Tom Cousineau 2) Bob Nelson 3) Tom Ruud 4) Waddy Harvey (I just like reading his name) 5) Jeff Posey 6) Walt Putulski 7) Leon Seals 8) Ronnie Harmon 9) Greg Bell 10) Dennis Shaw 11) Erik Flowers 12) John McCargo 13) MIke Williams - All (save Waddy) were major flops and/or just G'damn annoying.

Good one.....

Yes, and ......Yes.

Explain Jay Ratlif? He's uber effecdtive at NT at under 310#.
