  1. Yeah. Since we still don't know what we have in McCargo, it seems a bit premature for the Bills to just cut bait and spend another first round pick on a DT. Now, that said, there are few positions I would be upset if the Bills used a pick on. We can use upgrades @ MLB, DT, WR, RB, C (I'm still not sold on Fowler), OG (maybe, if they don't move Walker inside), DE, and CB, so if the pick is on any of those positions, it would be alright.
  2. Good point, Brandon. Present both sides of the issue.
  3. Ma'ake Kemoeatu gets the Ravens a 5th round pick but Anthony Weaver gets them a fourth? Interesting.
  4. Agreed, Bills4154. Motley especially, as one of the big things teams look for in RBs is their ability to help out in pass protection. You'd be hard pressed to find a better pass blocking RB ever than Motley.
  5. The murderous ex player. Not where he belongs. I knew this was the "Greatest RBs of the Jim Brown era and beyond" thread. I just knew it.
  6. Agreed. You obviously spend the 2nd overall pick on the QB who can: a. get rattled easily when pressured b. put up monster stats vs scrub teams and chokes in big games vs good ones c. tip off the defenders before throwing by patting the football Who wouldn't want a QB like that?
  7. The guy was a phenomenal linebacker, but top ten running back? C'mon, now. Greatest RBs? Here's 10, in no particular order: Jim Brown (okay, he's first, so the rest are in no particular order) Barry Sanders (awesome; wonder what he would've done w/ a line like Emmitt had) Gayle Sayers (injuries cut his career short, but he still was awesome) TMEP Eric Dickerson (had great lines, which helped him play long enough to showcase his brilliance) Red Grange (dominated pro ball like no RB before and only Jim Brown did afterward) Walter Payton (Sweetness is a favorite because of his combination of speed, grace, and ruthless power) Earl Campbell (Skoal Brotha was as powerful as any back to ever play; injuries and brutal style have taken quite a toll on him though) Tony Dorsett (give him a slight edge over Thurm, but both are worthy) Marion Motley (great runner, maybe even better pass protector)
  8. You're least likely to be my least favorite.
  9. What makes it even worse for her is this 'flag' system they have. If a person's application has a red 'flag', they can't even interview the person. From what she's telling me, they're getting more red flags than yellow (can interview, but still tough to hire) or green (most desirable) flags.
  10. I'm salaried, Joseph.
  11. No pun intended, eh?
  12. You hurt my feelings. Big meanie.
  13. I'm finding this out. Still, it sucks though. She'll be scheduled off @ 5, but won't get home until after 11pm (people call out sick, can't hire any decent help, etc.). I'll be glad once she gets a full staff @ that store and can quit working these slave hours. She's basically putting in 'bout 15 or so unpaid hours weekly @ least.
  14. Ever since her promotion, she's had 'bout enough time to work, go home, sleep, and do the same thing over the next day, other than the week we went to Vegas (timing not right).
  15. Me? I'm not the arguing type. I already know I'm wrong.
  16. Branch is a classic 2 gap DT. He'd be best suited as a NT in a 3-4, as he reminds me of a younger, more raw version of Jamal Williams. As a 4-3 DT, I believe, he'll be okay, but playing in a scheme that doesn't best fit his abilities.
  17. Stop lying to them, William. No. That's the last thing we need. Back to the regularly scheduled crankiness.
  18. See? That's the problem w/ this board. Too much sarcasm. I can't stand that.
  19. True, it isn't just about size. Lyle Sendlein from Texas, who is right 'round 300lbs, is a guy who is a very good pass blocker (impressed many @ the combine) who isn't nearly as weak in run blocking as Datish. Another guy who isn't really huge is Dan Mozes of West Virginia, who is an extremely good run blocker, but will probably fall to the later rounds due to some poor performances in Mobile and Indy. I think the kid can be a really good center in the pros, a backup for sure if not an eventual starter. In terms of size, there's Fresno State's Kyle Young, who is 6-5 and 'bout 335. He's a guy who has played some tackle and guard before also. If he's available in the 4th (maybe) or 5th (not so sure) round, he'd be a decent player to pick up.
  20. I'm not impressed. He reminds me a bit of Fowler, in that he's got very good skills, but is not the strongest of centers. He's particularly lacking vs bull rushers, something he'll see a bit more regularly in the NFL. Considering the size of the DTs/NTs nowadays, you're better off w/ guys who won't get overpowered too much.
  21. You're probably correct, William.
  22. Don't feel bad. A person can have triple that amount and still their opinions & posts won't mean sh*t.
  23. You've got Joseph all wrong, bug. A little rude and arrogant?
