  1. I have not lived in Buffalo since 1988, but I do remember Susan Banks was quite the looker in her day.  Is she still on in Buffalo.  I think last time I was home, I saw her on the tele, and she looked as fetching as ever.  Classy, beautiful, and a good reporter.  Down here in Austin, the local news personalities are horrible.  Lots of hotties, but terrible anchors/reporters...

    Banks is still around. see her Channel 7 profile here.

  2. Most Rochesterians should know who I am talking about.  She does the weekend newscasts for NBC in Rochester.  I think she is one hell of a cute girl.  Depressing news stories are not as depressing when she is on.   

     

    My wife always knows when she is on.  I turn on the news and if it's her, I give a big Ohh yeahhhh!!!  Then I get the look, even though my wife agrees with me and says she is pretty.

     

    Just once, that's all.   :(

    Buffalo's got a cute female reporter or two. My personal favorite is Jodi Johnston, who ironically enough also works for the NBC affiliate. You'll need to scroll down to find her http://www.wgrz.com/bios/default.aspx

  3. So, who do we go with?

     

    I say we start Reed, and move him to the slot in 3 wide packages. Evans hasn't proved he's better than Reed yet, and since he's a rookie, I don't think he should be given the benefit of the doubt as far as that's concerned.

    19314[/snapback]

    Hell Evans didn't show to be better then Sam Aiken. I definately start Reed and put Evans in on 3 WR sets but give Bobby Shaw a nod too. As to me that first drive against Detroit showed what this offense should be. A slow methodical move the chains offense.Yes, it's nice to have someone like Evans who could take it to the house if gets in the open field but until he can prove to be a guy that get seperation and catch the ball consistantly I say meet the benc Lee. I was also mildly surprised we didn't see Evans used in the return game. I know he wasn't much of a returner at Wisconsin but this is the NFL, if you're not starting you should be on special teams IMHO.

  4.  

    And if he failed as a TE,  was he so bad he coudn't play tackle?

    19290[/snapback]

    I'd have to redig up his combine numbers but he might not have the strength to play tackle. Not to mention he has to learn the position. I'm sure another team might give him another look but I have a feeling Peters will never have much of an NFL career as he is a man without a position.

  5. In question...

    LG: Smith, Tucker, or Pucillo?

    WR: Reed or Evans?

    DE: Kelsay or Denney?

    FS & SS: Milloy is the starting SS, but he's hurt.  Who's the starting FS and who covers for LM?

    KR/PR: McGee, Smith, Clements, who?

    19291[/snapback]

    LG: Lawrence Smith should start.

    WR: Josh Reed or Bobby Shaw

    DE: Ryan Denney with Chris Kelsay in on passing downs.

    FS: Izell Reese

    SS: Coy Wire until Lawyer Milloy is healthy

    KR: Terrence McGee & Josh Reed

    PR: Terrence McGee, Nate Clements & Shaud Williams.

  6. Players get to choose what teams PS they go on if they get multiple offers.  One draft pick of Buffalo's choose to go on SF Practice Squad instead.

    19206[/snapback]

    The player you're referring to is Jimmy Williams, who's currently the 49ers nickel back. Prior to that he was a pretty nifty return man.

  7. I saw the Bears cut DE Claude Harriott, whom they drafted in the 5th round in a group of earlier cuts. He was a big time pass rush prospect as a junior at Pitt but go hurt and seemingly slowed down last year as a senior but might be worth giving a look. Of course he doesn't fit the current mold of high motor DEs we seem to have on the roster now.

  8. Fred Taylor seems to have gotten past his injuries.  He just finished his second straight injury-free season, one in which he rushed for over 1,500 yards.  I think I'd take him.  One to keep a lookout for:   Kevin Jones.  My brother is also in a keeper league and told me that Jones was the top pick in their draft.

    18545[/snapback]

    Taylor's my 2nd choice behind Barlow but may not be there as there's a chance he could be kept. Kevin Jones is definately on my list but not with the top pick. Yet with the way Chris Brown been tearing it up in the preseason it made me explore my options.

  9. I'm in a 10 team Keeper Catch Performance League (ie All TDs are worth 6 pts, Each reception is worth 1 pt and a prorated bonus on yards gained) and my draft is coming up soon and have questions on who to use the top pick on. My keepers are Domanick Davis, Santana Moss and Derrick Mason. I'm leading to taking a RB first overall and need help to choose which RB to choose.

     

    All summer long I was eyeing Kevan Barlow with the pick. Now he has the hip injury which concerns me slighly. Now looking for help to decide whether to use the pick.

     

    Should I take Barlow or Chris Brown, Fred Taylor, Rudi Johnson or Corey Dillon?

  10. No.  While they could come it up with an injury settlement Brown could not participate in meetings and supposedly that is important to coaching staff.  He does not have so many skills to be useful to the team without intimate knowledge of playbook.

     

    Besides on an injury settlement, the player can not come back until at least week 10.

    18467[/snapback]

    Partially right, the player can not return to the team he had the settlement with until week 10, however he can sign and play on any other team before week 10.

  11. I'm thinking of getting a webpage just to do stuff like post pictures or even do a daily journal or something like that.  Any tips on who I should check with?  Prices?  What things should I look for?  Any help is appreciated.

    16108[/snapback]

    What's a webpage? Seriously though it sounds like you want to do a blog and there's tons of site that allow you to do one unless you were thinking of doing r.rich.com. As fun as webpages are, if you want a good one, they are a lot of work.

  12. That list makes a bit more sense.  I don't see us dropping PP though.  How has Bannan been in pre-season? For some reason I like him and hope he gets another shot.

    13226[/snapback]

    As far as I can tell Bannan been non existant, hence listing on my cut list. The reason I see us letting PP go as he's been weeded out as Coy Wire is likely to replace Milloy the first few weeks (and then return as a backup) and Rashad Baker is likely going to backing up Reese and don't see us keeping 5 Safeties. Not to mention we might get a little cap space letting him go.

  13. To answer the question on NFL Europe exemptions they only count from the cut to 80 to 65, once we go to 53 there are no exemptions.

     

    So Here's my list of 15:

     

    DT Justin Bannan

    FB Joe Burns

    CB Gerald Dixon

    OT Jasen Esposito

    WR Drew Haddad

    SS Pierson Prioleau

    OG Mike Pucillo

    DE Constantin Ritzmann

    DT Lauvale Sape

    RB Ken Simonton

    TE Rodney Trafford

    QB Greg Zolman

    WR Jonathan Smith

    OT Dylan McFarland

    FB Luke Lawton

     

     

    PRACTICE SQUAD

     

    QB Greg Zolman (or Brian St. Pierre)

    WR Jonathan Smith

    OT Dylan McFarland

    FB Luke Lawton

    DE Constantin Ritzmann (or DE from Other team)

    ---------------------------------------

    CB Lawrence Richardson

    S From Other Team

    OG/C From Other Team

  14. You have your 8 players signed to the practice squad and the season has started.  A team wants to sign one of your practice squad players to their active roster.  Do you have the opportunity to move him to your active roster in order to keep from losing him or is he gone???

    13115[/snapback]

    I'm pretty sure the rule states that the team that has the player on their practice squad can activate the player themselves before losing him (ie right of first refusal).

  15. Aside that's been what said Mike Shanahan supposedly said that Barlow was the top back in the 2001 draft and we all know how well he's had in locating quality RBs. Right now, I'm hedging toward taking Barlow or Chris Brown as my second back.
