R. Rich

Going by what we had @ the time, I didn't think it was a horrible pick. Sure, he was a RT in college, but he was still the blindside protector of LEFTY Chris Simms. I didn't think he would have as much difficulty transitioning to the pros as it turned out that he did though.

As I said earlier, I think Albert can make a pretty good OT in the pros, but I believe he could be an all pro caliber guard also. Still, if he plays @ tackle, I do not believe he'll embarrASS himself @ all.

I guess technically I did.....in middle school. In high school, I played OLB and TE (only for a year and a half, thankfully; I couldn't stand playing offense). In college, it was strictly OLB. I don't think I do anything special, other than try to really pay attention to the individual abilities of the players instead of just reading the box scores to tell who "had a good game" or not. Many others on the board watch the game as I do.

Ease up on him. What he does in the privacy of the executive washroom is his business.

Got mine on Monday. Well, maybe the guard @ the gate will recognize you and cut you a break for this weekend's game if the tickets don't arrive by then.

Yep. Cigarette Smoking Man benched Flutie for Johnson from the grassy knoll.

It could only help that state.

While their fans might brag on Long, I don't think many football insiders would praise him as the greatest lineman of all time. Long will probably be a very effective right tackle, but I just don't believe he'll be as effective playing on the left side @ this point in his career. While I don't think he'll struggle like Robert Gallery did, I also don't believe he'll make the seamless transition that Joe Thomas made last year. Thomas may be just a year or so away from being lauded as the best tackle in football along w/ Jason Peters. There were some who cited Ryan Clady as a better prospect due to his athleticism and long arms (even though he's got the rep as not being physical enough). Personally, I think Branden Albert has huge upside. I think he'll be a pretty good OT if that's in the cards for him. I also think that if he's moved inside to guard, he could become one of the very best @ the position.

I'm not worried or afraid of any team's offense. I am really more interested in seeing how Marcus Stroud pans out (injuries a thing of the past or not), whether or not Kawika Mitchell can help stabilize the defense by giving the team a linebacker who can drop back to defend if necessary or stuff the run when needed, and of course to know if Leodis McKelvin can quickly learn the ropes and become a very productive corner. If those moves all pan out, the Bills could be in the position to make some of those offenses fear them.

You act like people are supposed to be accountable or something. Get w/ the program, Peter.

You know, it must be real tough to meet up w/ someone who is standing RIGHT NEXT TO YOU!

Uh........okay.

No.

I think it's the November 30th game vs the San Fransisco 49ers.

62 days and counting!!!!

Found it.

Not me. I thought it was another way too over the top performance (like the foul Scent of a Woman). The best thing in Devil's Advocate was the performance of Charlize Theron, who was her usual brilliant self.

Reminds me of a time Dennis Miller read his name kinda like that on MNF. I thought it was very funny.

Still 'bout $8.00 more than I'd have charged.

Now that I can definitely agree to. How the "Hoo hah!" man beat out Denzel Washington for the best actor Oscar is a mystery. Can't agree here. Jack has had his moments, like his very underrated performance in The Witches of Eastwick. He's had some less than stellar ones too (that annoying movie he did w/ Diane Keaton), but overall, I'd say he's still watchable.

The closest I've seen in recent years to Ham's ability to diagnose plays and get there consistantly in time to disrupt things is Ray Lewis, and even he isn't as good @ it as Ham was.

Lambert would have the edge in his athleticism, but Ham was the best 'backer that team has ever had. Both were outstanding though.

Any relation to Erik? Oh, that's right. You do know my wife.
