  1. Lindell is good, he had a great year last year...did you not watch him kick? I think he only missed 3 field goals all season...

     

    Willis is a badass, if you want Lionel Gates over McGahee you've lost your mind...

     

    and YOU are the one that sounds bitter my friend.

    I think Lindell is here to stay....However, my problem with him is he has stunk

    it up in the few chances to score during the clutch...

  2. Would you hire someone if you felt that you were going to have look over his shoulder the whole time? Not me. I have to believe Saban thought about this before hiring MM. So, yes, I believe Saban is going to let MM run his offense. The thing that boggles my mind the most about hiring MM is that Saban saw first-hand last year's Bills quit on MM.

    Saban knows that the Players report to him...not to his OC.....If Mularkey fumbles, he is gone.

  3.   Then they try to penetrate the gap befor the offensive linemen have a chance to react.  That's why quickness is at much more of a premium than brute strength. 

    709301[/snapback]

     

    Going back to the original question....Are Kelsay/Scheobel and Denney quick

    enough to get that penetration....Are they speed rushers....I don't think so...

    that is a big concern in this scheme....We might need a Kearse type of player

    at the DE position to succeed in this scheme....

  4. They want him to play RG, which he might be able to man OK.  He was a terrible LG, but maybe being slow and out of shape won't hurt him as badly on the right side.  :devil:

    709392[/snapback]

     

    Ronnie Brown is going to have that opposing LB on his face even before the

    ball is handed over by Culpeper.

  5. I say the departure of Mularkey and the Misfits (wait! Jerry Gray is blitzing again!) adds up to three wins from last year, putting us at a respectable 8-8 this year.

    709192[/snapback]

     

    If the new defensive scheme can let our players walk off the field after a 3rd

    and long then I will be really happy......Having opponents convert on 3rd and

    long repeatedly kills your team...

  6. Roscoe Parrish will lead the league in punt returns. (YPR)

     

    I think that fowler and reyes can do decent. The real question is what has been worse for the Bills. Having sh-- o-linemen or having a revolving door of linemen, since we have started roughly 83 different linemen the past 3 years.

    709182[/snapback]

     

    I think Fowler is going to be the Key Acquistion this year.....Teague was

    pushed right back on to the QB many a time, collapsing the pocket from

    the interior. He just wasn't the right center for a AFC East team......

     

    If Fowler can provide the necessary protection to the pocket, and give the

    QB the extra space and second to see the field, this Offense will be better

    than last year.

  7. Actually I think the ideal situation is having Holcomb as a backup to Losman.....

     

    I think historically Holcomb has shown he is much better off the bench.....it is when you try to force him into the starting role where he struggles.

     

    I will say it now and I will say it again....the Losman project HAS to work out....or this team is dead for a while.

    709172[/snapback]

     

    The fact that Holcomb harbors for the same starting job can cause division

    within the locker room by Holcomb and other Veteran players....as it was

    evident last year.....You cannot have both....Alex Van Pelt never ever

    threatened the starting QB....but at the same time he could come in and

    play the game....That is the kind of QB we need.

  8. All of the DT's we currently have on our roster have been good against the run......especially our draftees......

     

    The thing is...its a new defensive system.  We are going to be good against the run by using quickness to play on the other side of the LOS.....disrupting things....

     

    Our linebackers will be cleaning it up

    709034[/snapback]

     

    I am not asking how good the DTs are going to be against the Run. My

    question was how good our DEs are going to be against the run.

  9. 1. Nall's contract expired. He was not let go.

    709074[/snapback]

     

    What I meant is that if the guy was so good, GB would have either annoited him

    as their future starter or at least in the last year of his contract dealt him to some

    other team for a draft pick. Or at least they would have extended him for a few

    more years in his last year of contract.

     

    2. The guy is a competitor and wants to start.  He won't beat out Favre.

    3. I have watched him develop and think he is a good QB. 

    4. When he has played he has done well.  Yes, being #1 passer in NFL-E a few years ago isn't much but he succeeded at what he was doing.  He got little regular season work but when he was in did well. 

    709074[/snapback]

     

    Which QB in the NFL is not a competitor....There are only 32 starting QB positions

    in the NFL...You think QBs are going to be sitting back and waiting for their turn.

     

    What regular season stats are you talking about. The guy has played mostly

    NFL-E and Pre-season games.

     

     

    I have posted nothing against Losman except that he is inexperienced.  All QB's need 3 to 4 years of apprenticeship to learn to play in the NFL. 

    As Marv said going through the "expense" invested in Losman why should he throw away the investment. 

     

    Remember the Packers were contempating drafting Losman but he was off the board and they never got the chance. 

    709074[/snapback]

     

    Agreed... Unless Losman is given the chance to lead this team without having

    to look behind the mirror, he will never succeed.

  10. We will start of slow but the young kids and JP will get on a roll and finsh a respectable 7-9, and everyone will very excited that we have begun to turn the corner. Just as the season winds down the Sabres or on thier way to the division crown and number one seed and an eventaul title for WNY!!! Good lord did I just right that! That cool aide is very good anybody want some? :devil:

    709116[/snapback]

     

    Which will include 5 wins at home in the later part of the season.

  11. The Packers had a top 5 draft pick fall to the 24th pick.  A starting QB over age 30.  It was a value draft decision that is all. 

     

    Like many Packer fans I thought it was a waste of a first round pick. 

    Nall is a far better QB.  Nall has the better arm. 

     

    Did you know that Nall went to the NCAA finals as a javelin thrower? 

    He has arm as demostrated recently in his 60 yard completion in practice.

     

    Why hate a guy who may really help the team? 

    I think Marv got great value in Nall for the size of his contract.

    708972[/snapback]

     

    If that were so, why would the Packers let him go....If the Packers think he will be a good QB, they are going to play him ahead of even a 1st round pick to get value for him......They will at least try to shop him around last year....

  12. I see this differently.  Nall has proven himself in the preseason and NFL Europe.  It's not much, but it's more than JP's done.  Playing poorly in both the preseason and the regular season--as Losman did last year--doesn't count as proving anything.

     

    I'd agree Losman has more overall physical talent than Nall.  On the other hand, Akili Smith had more physical talent than Joe Montana.  That doesn't mean Akili Smith was the more talented quarterback.

    707496[/snapback]

    I agree physical talent is not everything....as my point about Brady earlier...

    However, how do both JP and Nall compare in the Mental aspects....

     

    A QB becomes a good one, when he stops thinking during the play and lets

    his mental phase dictate what he does with the ball. (Unless you are a OL like

    the Patriots where you can count 1.2.3.4.5.6....before throwing the ball).....

    It is essentially important which QB has the best grasp of that aspect and he will

    be the one leading the Bills next season.....Unfortunatley I don't know how

    both JP and Nall have fared on that front....

  13. I am bored of the McGahee, Nance and JP topics...Let us start a new thread

    about the defense.

     

    How does our current DE players (Kelsay, SChoebel, and Denney) fit into

    the new scheme. Are they going to be marquee players in this scheme brought

    in by Fewell ? Do these guys have the right speed to penetrate the OL. How

    did they work out during the OTA

     

    Your thoughts....

  14. Nall had a beautiful 60 yard bomb that went for a would be touchdown. 

     

    Losman threw an effective(not beautiful) deep ball(yardage not mentioned) that was defended/incomplete. 

     

    Holcomb was not mention in association with the deep ball. 

    Good to see the QB's are starting to sort themselves out.

    708831[/snapback]

     

    Classic Reading-Between-The-Lines :D

  15. - the redskins can sign all the all stars they want they will never pan out, they do it every year

     

    708480[/snapback]

     

    Don't underestimate the Skins. Under Gibbs they have refocussed and they

    play hard for him....They went deep into the playoffs last year and could have

    taken out Seattle, if only they had converted their chances.

     

    Clinton Portis had a monster year last year and they still have a GREAT

    defense....If Randal El can make the difference, Mark Brunell might make teams

    pay.....

     

    The skins are going to be the under-the-radar team in that divison and then

    make that deep run.
