One could only hope -Comfortably- as well

Price playing spot duty for Jennings normally would not worry me. The difference now is that we have Price / Smith(newb)/ Tucker (for the injured Teague) forming our left side. That, my friends, scares me ....

Good work Kzoo, that's a nice layout and you express your points well. The only problem I see is that you tend to weigh the cheap, minimum/low salary signing failures (Robinson/ Watson, etc.) up there or equally with the high priced FA signings (which btw have all worked out pretty well). Sometimes you just take a stab at a player and if there is nothing really to lose in return, no harm done.

The problem is that was not my argument. Shaw has a HISTORY, not one game, a HISTORY. My EXAMPLE was the jets game because that's fresh in people's minds, but it occured multiple times last season, and I would assume it has carried over in practice as well. There was also mention last season of Shaw running "poor routes" which could include "poor" reads.

Will either of you even consider the part (even if not the whole reason) that missed hot reads played into this decision? It's right there on tape. I feel like a broken record.

I know times are tough, but Nodnarb it's sad to see you going off the deep end ;-) This may help (kidding, well not really)... Go back to any tapes of games you might have from last season (beyond week 4 or so) and look at when Shaw is the slot WR and note how many times the opponent blitzes off that edge and how many times Bobby adjusts his route to a quick slant or short hitch to allow DB not to get killed. Now, look at your tape from the Jets game last week and watch the football hit Bobby in the back on a Hot route. That's all you need to know about Bobby. You're not going to hear it from players or coaches because the Bills are a classy organization in that fashion.

No can do for me. :-( I've got a meeting to go to .....

It's simple, if you are a WR and show a fairly consistent pattern of not adjusting your routes based on hot reads when the opponent blitzes, you're gonna be gone sooner or later. (this evidenced when the ball Hit Shaw in the back in the Jets game).

Unbelievable , just unbelievable. I don't understand the need to manufacture stories that aren't even true...

OMG some of these posts simply have me rolling :-) Amos Zereoue? Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!! OMFG! Fantasy football <> real football

Thankyou oh voice of reason

I'm with Campy on this. You do not have any more insight than any body else here that it was "lip service". Trading TH now would render the depth on this team completely useless.

JJ looked poor last week for one reason. Concussion. As Lori says he has usually played pretty darn well against JT in previous meetings. I wouldn't like our chances against JT with Price in there even though he's a fairly solid player.

While I agree that he is hopeless at Safety, don't you think he's a valuable player on special teams?

I'm telling you guys the release was because of the (lack of) hot read adjustments, which carried back to last year.

Ahh, the pass in the back. I forgot about that. I also remember a quote somewhere last season which stated that although he was failrly productive last season, he did miss a lot of hot reads, which is exactly what happened vs. the Jets. This could be the reason right there....

I don't see what this move accomplishes other than if it was some sort of disciplinary action. Color me confused until further notice. Good news for Aiken though :-)

I'll be there, but probably not til @ 11:00 am

I hope so as well but I haven't really looked at him as far as blocking skills go. What have you seen in regards to his abilities in that area?

Jeez 1billz, I meant "plenty around here" as in Trolls, etc... I guess that came out the wrong way. But I still think you're silly trying to base anything on our coach's comments to a media outlet. Did you ever stop to think that they just do this because they have to?

1bills, there are plenty around here who'd be happy to stick your foot in your mouth without you doing it yourself ;-). Do you honestly think he doesn't know what he's talking about or that you somehow know better?

Umm, probably because the guy playing in there now is better than him. BTW, You're looking good on our bet Rico , even if it's more because of record than Play on the field....

I think the Bills are still looking for a Line for the game as well

He is definitely covering the ball with a second hand much more frequently this season, almost sometimes to a point where his balance is affected by it. His one armed carrying technique is basically the same as he used last year, which could have been better but was a vast improvement from 2002.
