And they could have easily cut him if he didn't perform well in camp, so they gave themselves a chance to get a good player and he delivered. If they gave him a 2 year deal and this was the contract year - I could see the Bills having a point. But to expect a discount because of just an opportunity to come to camp when all the risk was on him - that's garbage IMO.

Ridiculous. If he had 15 sacks this still had to happen.

It seemed like he was almost embarrassed to win the super bowl - because he had so very little to do with the win. If he had 250 yds and 2 TD's he would have been celebrating like it was 1999 - but he just couldn't let loose and I think his play made him feel weird about doing that.

Could you be more specific about the 5 minute penalty? Is it 5 minutes game clock time, on the side of the ball you play, can you come back out if a certain thing happens like the other team scores?

I thought Alphadawg said no one yet has been involuntarily chosen?

so says you

Clements and Winfield? You don't think we've changed just a bit under Nix and Whaley? We haven't stayed in "average mode" - we are now loaded with talent and it is going to be difficult to keep them all. Hardly the same situation as way way way back then.

Great Britain will never let him play there.

Maybe they'd prefer a tea gift set to present to their government.

It was interesting once upon a time.

It's only a game or two of bad weather. Same could be said if he went to a smoldering hot city coming from a dome.

They need to worry about their own issues of which there's plenty. Glass houses.

Are you saying you are or aren't a football expert? Or is it that you just have the ability to dissect comments to the point you can predict the future?

I kind of like the idea of adding Colston for a few reasons. I think his size alone would be helpful - he'd be the first down guy that knows how to get open to allow Sammy to get the chunks - he's not a premadonna type of receiver and would accept the role - with not a lot of cap space it would be difficult to get much better.

To be clear I'm not the biggest Rex supporter but I personally don't mind him believing he's not the problem. He has been an excellent defensive coach with a long resume. He seems like a guy torn because he wants to be brash about his defensive abilities but he knows he can't now. To me that's what's making these press conferences uncomfortable to watch - and has very little to do with him being unwilling to take responsibility.

Well what would you have him say in a press conference that he's being asked questions? I mean is there something he could say to comfort you? The answer should be no - you should just want him to coach the team and have them play well. So don't watch the press conference. I see somebody that's embarrassed at the performance by the defense and he tries to joke it off and it seems awkward - but he knows he's got to get the defense playing well for the ridiculous questions to stop.

That you had to ask shows you're not very bright.

It's very hard to do with our cap issues this coming year.

Exactly, and no one is more critical of our own players than us.

The debate isn't whether he has the right to try. The debate is whether it's possible he'd be wanted. There's plenty of guys that have earned the right to try and keep playing - in fact many that have earned it more than Fred.

You don't think they know?

You're right he's never been "fast" but he did other things to make up for it. Now he's so slow that he can't use those other tools. It's like he's running in soft sand out there.

You don't think a running back having a problem running is related to talent to do the job?

There's no way he's a guy that gets called if a RB or two goes down. He's the kind of guy you either value his locker room presence and bring him in or you never do. He's not talented enough to just use after an injury.

I really hope Ritchie says absolutely nothing about this. Let this moron drown in the criticism.
