Whoa, whoa whoa, hold on a second here. He's Mormon???
-
For what its worth here was his top 10 from his first mock last year:
1. Andrew Luck
2. Justin Blackmon
3. Matt Kalil
4. Robert Griffin III
5. Trent Richardson
6. Morris Claiborne
7. Quinton Coples
8. Dre Kirkpatrick
9. Riley Reiff
10. Courtney Upshaw
So, there's that...
That actually is pretty good for a January pre-combine mock.
-
Very curious to see the figures involved.
-
Ahhhhh yes, here it is, Bills fans wallowing in their misfortune find solace in putting down a former player. Great.
Every time Marshawn has a great game with 150+yds rushing we have to listen to the lamentations and whines about what a terrible trade our front office made. I think it's only fair to point him out when he stinks it up in a big game. I'm not trying to put Marshawn down, just the local chapter of his fan club.
-
Here's one for the Marshawn Fan Club: 16 carries 46 yards 2.9 yds/carry 1 fumble (3rd straight game with a fumble).

“I just know what our system is going to bring to the table. I think the fans will be excited about it because we’re going to be high energy and we are going to be an attacking style of defense. We’re going to dictate to the offense. We’re not going to sit back and let offenses dictate to us, so if you’re going beat us it’s because you’ve taken our best punch.”
That's all I need to hear. OC still scares me though.

Any good CB's in FA?
Here's the PFF list, not really a lot to work with. Even if a good CB is available, you have to throw $50M+ at them (see Carr, Finnegan, etc)
-
I enjoy reading PFF but something has to be wrong with that G. Wilson grade...
-
He didn't look too hot in his bowl game, made some terrible decisions (i.e. heaving that ball into the endzone short). Kiper has him ranked #22 on his Big Board and the top QB.
-
I'm naming it. The 2013 Bills Poutine Defense.
I think once fans realize his name is pronounced "PET-in" it's going to be a mild disappointment
I am looking forward to seeing the Bills defense blitz again, that should be refreshing.

The irony being he coached under one of the worst offensive staffs in those 13
We just hired our own retread? Here's his bio
Prominent Players Coached • Terrell Owens, Lee Evans, Joey Galloway, Ike Hilliard, Michael Clayton, Maurice Stovall, David Boston, Josh Reed, Roscoe Parrish, Trent Edwards and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Time to bust out the hard liquor.
-
Even when he was on Jaurons staff, he worked very closely with the QB's and was involved in the game planning. He grew up with an intimate knowledge of the NFL, through his father, and much like the QB who grows up surrounded by NFL players ala the Mannings, he has picked up a great deal of knowledge along the way. He is "older than his years" in coaching experience.
Did you pull any muscles reaching for that?
-
This is kind of scary.
-
Getting back on topic, I like Pettine, and I believe we have a very good shot at him. I think he realizes that he won't get the recognition he deserves playing in Rex's shadow.
-
You can laugh all you want but you clearly don't watch much football. Mario Williams played OLB for the texans before he came to buffalo, making the switch from a DE - i believe he had something like 6 sacks in 5 games before going down with an injury.
And you dismiss Dareus and his sacks from last season as nothing, but he was more dominant lining up in the 3-4 last season than he was this year in the 4-3..whether you want to blame this season on his brother's death or the change in scheme i dunno, but the fact remains: Mario, Anderson, Dareus, KW have ALL played in a 3-4 and been SUCCESSFUL.
Clearly I don't. Williams played his entire career as a 5-technique DE in a 4-3, and was only switched to OLB for 5 games before he got hurt. It primarily worked because Phillip's 3-4 scheme doesn't require the DE to handle two gaps, which let Mario play outside in effect acting as a 5-technique. We paid $125M+ to these two guys to come in and play DE with one hand on the ground, something they've done their entire careers (except for Williams 5 games and Andersons 3), and we have the inside of our line locked up for the next 3 years to play 3-technique penetrating DT. I'm not going to even argue with you how ridiculous it is to think we can move both to OLB, let alone play the same OLB rush position in a 3-4. I think every time something major happens with this team this board loses it's mind.
-
I remember those playoff games, I didn't know he was switched to ROLB. Maybe that is his true calling, because I actually question him as a full-time DE.
wow dude, you're so off on everything that what's the point?
You're the guy that wants to switch both our DEs to OLB, and I'm the guy that's off?
-
our defense is actually probably closer to a 3-4 than a 4-3 (as crazy as it may sound). we don't have a single quality LB.
you can put KW/DAREUS/Carrington on line, and anderson and mario at OLB.
What have you seen from Anderson that leads you to believe he can play OLB? No, a 3-4 OLB is not the same as a DE in a 4-3. There are some similarities but this isn't fantasy football, you can't simply interchange linemen and linebackers on a whim. We don't have a true 0-technique NT (unless you count Troup). And no, Dareus is not a true NT, I don't care if he got 5 sacks his rookie year.
-
He pats the ball like crazy. He needs a lot of work.

I find it odd people can look at that present hire and state with a certainty that Nix had nothing to do with based on what? His one previous hire?
I think it has more to do with Nix's comments and philosophy over the years and not so much the Chan hiring. We've heard Nix say things like "you'd like to get a guy with NFL head coaching experience" and "the percentages of being successful is hiring a guy that's done it." Of course he will then add the standard GM-speak like "we will hire who we think is the best guy regardless," but if you've listened to Nix intently over the years it's pretty easy to see that this hiring has Brandon's and Whaley's fingerprints all over it. A Nix hiring would be Lovie Smith or Whis, two guys with NFL track records at HC that went to a Superbowl.
-
At least we don't have to put up with two dozen threads crying about retreads.
-
This guy better knock it out of the park with his OC and DC selections.
-
Wow, did not see this coming. It's going to take a lot of heavy drinking to try to get myself to like this choice.

Where are all the offensive stars that Ken Wisenhunt brought in, groomed or coached up? NAME ONE! QB's Matt Leinart, FA Derak Anderson, FA Max Hall, drafted John Skelton, drafted Ryan Lindley, all sucked under Wis.
He didn't bring anyone in. That was the job of the GM, Rod Graves, just as it was when Green was HC. Why do you not understand this? Yes - Leinart, Anderson, Hall, Skelton, Lindley all sucked under Wis. Guess what? They would suck under Vince Lombardi. This is the entire point - the man had absolutely nothing to work with. As Ozymandius said, when he did have Warner at QB, he flourished, which is something that Green could never get Warner to do. As a matter of fact, he took the entire team Green had (that Rod Graves built) and led them to an 8-8 record. The next year, Superbowl.
Gailey beats Wiz with 6-10 vs 5-11.
Wisenhunt sucks worse then Gailey!
I think this discussion with you has run its course. I can't even begin to explain how simplistic it is to look at 2 coaching records (6-10 and 5-11), point at one and say, "this coach is better."
-
If I remember correctly there was concern the Bidwell's wanted Leinart to sell tickets, and that was not the only concern about owner "meddling". Haven't paid attention lately, but when Wiz went there I thought the situation reminded me of our own from the ownership standpoint. Haven't paid enough attention lately to say it's still the same or if it has gotten better.
I think you're right, I do recall something about the Bidwell's now. I just remember Warner was only average in the Green regime, and the fans started clamoring for a change.

All the mocks parrot each other. The Bills don't contact Walter Football and tell him who they like in January lol
