  1. It kind of looks like the right tackle missed an assignment.

     

    Even if it's not.... How can you leave the most dominant guy for batting down passes in the past decade unblocked, needing to dump the ball right behind him?

     

    If true, I think even less of Hackett.

     

     

    That was the plan until this happened.

    The man they game planed for all week and he throws it right at him.


    If only it was an isolated incident...

    I believe, This was the final nail in EJs proverbial coffin.

  2. Well that and wait for the market to develop. It's doubtful he told his wife in late July

    The bIlls got a one year 5 mil offer on the table, but I want to hang with the kid and you, until

    8 days before the regular season. Most GM's would not like that attitude.

    I for some reason do not think Buffalo was his first choice for a variety

    Of reasons.

     

    It's a mix of he wanted to get paid without going through training camp.

    Frankly, as a veteran and a backup -- why shouldn't he want to skip camp?

    He's going to be giving half a year to the sport and his job... these guys work like crazy during the season and put their bodies through hell.

     

    You can see this "attitude" with a lot of other veterans who don't really need to prove themselves... with "fake" injuries etc.

    On this team, notably Byrd and Stevie Johnson. They are both doing the same thing with their new teams.

  3. Was Orton playing possum and waiting for for best deal? Absolutely. But to buy into the rumor that they had been pursuing him since when July 16 when the cowgirls released him, and to think they even knew he would be released is giving Whaley way too much credit. i and others firmly believe these guys are playing for their jobs now. Was signing Orton smart. Well yes there is no better QB backup out there. is it a head scratching move? yes. Why wait and gamble to the very last second to have a decent backup?

     

    Orton did not want to do training camp and wanted to spend time with his family.

  4. We need WR + LB + OL but I think our biggest need at #9 overall is WR.

     

    WR

    It has become obvious that Stevie Johnson is a good WR and a nice guy, but not a #1 WR.

    More often than not, when it was clutch time... Stevie would get a dumb penalty, drop passes or turn the ball over.

    Sorry to say... it was rare that he came up big, and not often enough to compensate for the more frequent mistakes.

     

    LB

    We also need another stud linebacker to help stop the run... we found our Kuechly in round 2 last year. If there is another one this year, we'd grab him early, but I think a big WR is a more glaring need. Maybe we can strike gold again in round 2/3. Also, our problem on defense was that our offense wasn't scoring enough points. I also think our D surprised some people this year, which may mean we can get some good vet FA's to address some needs.

     

    OL

    It seems like Whaley likes to find other teams castoffs for OL... that's why unless a stud falls, I think we'll more likely plug holes at OL and go for playmakers in the draft early.
