Speaking of "Spikes" - I had lunch with a guy today that knows Brandon Spikes. He ran into him about a week ago and said he blew up with weight and doesn't see any chance of him playing.

We talk a lot about how Rex somehow messed up a great defense - I think he got inside a very good kickers head too. He was on Carpenter the first chance he got and never stopped. I never understood why he dissed Carp so publicly so soon.

Um yeah, that's the kind of player they're going to have to take a chance on because of our cap situation. One that hasn't done a lot but you think they can. Ok you disagree that Kiko can. Wow

Sweet

I'm so glad I blocked FireChan many Months ago.

Only the Bills he can't be over the Sabres - same city.

You're a genius Yeah trading for Hughes was stupid too.

Oh I didn't notice that.

They should have kept Zac Dysert.

Um maybe because of his first season? Set the bar higher? Ok with what money?

Since my real choices are taken I'll go with: Darby

Sounds like the trade is complete but I'll answer your question. Trying for someone better is great but Kiko is still on his rookie deal with a cap hit of 990K and change - so he fits with our salary cap - and like I said you're taking a chance that he can produce a lot of tackles. Who do you think is better for under a million for one season, Powell? Powell is fine but we need 2 LB's so I'm not sure why I have to only pick him.

I hear what you're saying but the NFL is what people want to hear about. If they start talking about Canisius basketball listening would drop.

I don't think he's as good as everyone thinks either but we're pretty desperate for LB's. I think it's worth the draft pick for the chance he stays healthy and can make a bunch of tackles. We are in a position where chance taking has to be part of our strategy.

I'd offer a 6th round pick for Kiko and make him our outside LB for a year.

I think part of the allure with Sal is we like and respect his story. The guy started his own little podcast - developed a following - and made enough of a name for himself to get a real gig. It's impressive for sure and he deserves credit. I wouldn't pretend to know but I don't think he's lazy - it's just that he seems to have hit a wall with developing his skills and getting better.

Exactly and are forced to overpay because no one is going there until they prove the ship is headed in the right direction. I'm not making fun because we've obviously been there. We're a professionally ran organization now which makes me so incredibly disappointed in my fellow Bills fans when they say things like wanting Whaley gone.

I can't listen to Schoop. I live in Charlotte, NC and I use the app to listen to The Howard Simon Show most days. All sports shows can be irritating at times but I find Howard Simon's show the best. I actually don't like Sal and when he's on it's a bit like amateur hour for me. Jeremy and Sal had never heard Manning called "The Sheriff" and the NFL is supposed to be Sal's wheel house. They were acting like everyone was stupid for for all the sudden over the last 3 days calling him that. It made them seem so ridiculous when he's been called that for years starting with Gruden on Monday Night Football. Sorry for a discombobulated post but Sal aggravates me at times.

Not really. We need to decide if Cog is asking for ridiculous money and if there's another guard out there in FA with comparable skills for the money we're offering him. It's the prudent thing to do and appears that's what we are doing with Evans coming in.

I could see you thinking Kyle may not be able to be what he once was - but Bryant is no replacement for him. Linebackers absolutely have to have excellent tackle play to do well.

There's no question that he's one of the best defensive tackles in the league negatively effecting the opponents run game.

Do you really understand or watch the guard play throughout the league to make that statement? If you do, kudos. I just can honestly admit I don't spend time honing in on guards around the league to say he can't be replaced.

I think you're underestimating the decline of our defense whenever he's out.

I'm sure he wont be that desperate for work.
