" A relentless rusher off the edge, Maybin, who last season forced four fumbles and registered six sacks, could line up inside, in the middle or, as he did in Saturday night’s scrimmage, as a down lineman, depending on how Pettine leverages matchups. But one of the more intriguing subplots of training camp is Maybin’s quest to shed his reputation as one-dimensional (according to ProFootballFocus.com, he rushed the quarterback on 94.9 percent, or 185, of his 195 passing plays last season, the most among regular 3-4 outside linebackers). The Jets’ coaches, especially Rex Ryan, would never try to discourage him, but there is a natural progression on the journey to dominance, and it starts with viability:[/b] can Maybin evolve into a true all-around linebacker — a pass-rushing dynamo, a run-stuffing fiend, an asset in coverage?" This whole article and conversation simply has me Laughing my A$$ off. Seriously. OMFG !!!!!! Who can imagine him lining up in the middle? OR as a down lineman? Or a run stuffing fiend?? HAHAHHA I love how the writer is talking about how his journey to dominance starts with VIABILITY. Really? Seriously? Oh I love articles from training camps are so optimistic in the dog daze of summer. Now can you imagine how are team feels about Maybin? Should be a fun first game!!

Don't be a hater. Or....."Don't hate the player, hate the game."

Former nfl running back travis henry is being conditionally reinstated by the nfl according to a league source with knowledge of situation. Link: Someone has been bills to pay? Maybe he will get a gig by mid-season thru injury. Otherwise I can't see anyone giving him much of a shot. At the Goal Line though.....he could be difficult to take down.

Gots to love the '88 Bentley. It was a classic!!

You lost me at the bolded part. I thought discussion board statements were um.....debatable by definition. My bad.

OMG, you are the nuts!!

Seriously?? You don't know. "This is Division One Football. It ain't intramurals!"

5 pages on this in less than 12 hours. Damn, lets start training camp already.

Uh, oh....this can't be good. If you scroll down to the very bottom of that link it says...."Backup QB". Git yer resumes ready.

and has never been the same since. Injured my toughness once in '83. Still hurts.

Fixed.

Agreed......but...I am not so sure we have THAT much depth on our O-line to get overly excited about. What great talent is really getting cut on the O-line. I think we should make the playoffs this year....but overall talent is probably another year away. Just my .02

Great article about Darryl Talley. Man I loved this guy when he played but reading this article I realized he may be my Favorite Bill of All Time: http://www.cleveland.com/sports/college/index.ssf/2012/07/former_shaw_high_star_darryl_t.html "....Nehlen still remembers how Talley gave highly-rated Pittsburgh All-American quarterback Dan Marino fits. And how he once nearly decapitated Maryland quarterback Boomer Esiason on a blitz. He blocked punts and intercepted passes. He was fast and quick and smart. "Darryl Talley was a one-man wrecking crew," Nehlen said. "He was just all over the field, all over the field." How great it that. He terrorized Marino in college and in the pros. There were soooo many good players on the Bills when he played I almost forgot how talented he was. (and he seams like a great guy too.) Congrats on the College Hall. Now he needs to be in the Pro Football Hall!!!

This ^^ Plus the fact that training camp hasn't even started and Rex finally learned what his players have learned. He's a blowhard who should be kept off HBO's Hard Knocks! (they do have a decent team, can't wait for the IMPLOSION!!!!!!!)

He may be fast.....but he's no Maybin!!

I like to do Over/under for season wins. I have bet on Bills and other teams and won more than lost. I REALLY like the over this year. I mean I really like the over. I think Vegas has us at 7 wins. That's a steal!!!

I don't like to tell this story online because most would not believe. I actually snuck into Game 4 and Game 6 of the Sabres Stanley Cup against Dallas. Many years ago I worked at the old Aud and also knew some people that worked at HSBC. Game 4, I met up with a friend inside who runs the beer concessions. He took me up the back elevator to the 200 level bar/restaurant area about 2 hours before game-time. Ended up meeting Darren Pang and Barry Melrose while they were getting their make-up put on. Sat at the table overlooking the ice right above Hasek. We won. Game 6, my brother and I wore suits and followed 6 Dallas Stars players into HSBC about 2.5 hours before game-time. Same thing met my friend, up the back elevator and sat in the same seats. FREAKIN' AMAZING!!! (Except for Brett Hull). Not the best seats in the house.....but damn good and free! My best seats were at Wrigley Field about 7 years ago. They had just built @ 5 new rows behind home plate. My buddy took about 6 of us at $500 bucks a pop. Saw Mark Prior pitch a great game. Again, didn't cost me a cent for the tickets......I guess it is true: The best things in life are free. I am guessing that was at The Chance in Poughkeepsie. Amazing place to see music!! Small and intimate.

What is this VCR thing that you speak of???

Name a really bad thread that gets several pages of riled up responses simply because it's the offseason.....

Nice. Well played.

Great. So we can all pay to read Jerry Sullivan and then bash him. perfect.

I did hear a few minutes of Rome. Not that anyone here (including me) cares but......Jim asked Stern about the draft lottery being fixed and that STRUCK a nerve with Stern. He then asked Rome how his wife beating was going (or something to that effect). Needless to say that Rome got really upset although he held his cool. I'm not a big Stern or Rome fan but it's always nice to hear radio/tv that's not totally canned and boring!! They obviously DO NOT like each other. Stern then ended the conversation saying he needed to talk to someone important and that he was leaving to go talk to Stephen A. Smith. PRICELESS. Best 5 minutes of Rome in years!!! Anyhow.....I am more interested in hearing about Mario. Anyone hear anything? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller??
