Let us hope that he doesn't run better than 4.8, and doesn't bench more reps than 20.
If for some reason he has a terrible Combine and workout, we might be lucky enough to get him, then if we are able to sign Grady Jackson. Our line might be amazing, but we have to hope that the other DE have great workouts and he doesn't, also he is a high energy guy.
imagine Schobel with some help on the other side.
and I want to take this moment to say, Aaron Schobel is in my top 5 all time favorite Bills, every year he has improved, last year it was against the run this year it was the entire package, he might be the 2nd most complete DE in the AFC. He doesn't rant and rave, and doesn't dance. I think a good reward would be to bring his brother to Buffalo, Matt Schobel is a very good TE, he has trouble blocking, but he creates match up problems, because he is very athletic.
thank you for your time

what are the chances we can restructure his large contract, making his cap hit after release to be around the same if we restructure.
I'd rather not have to pay 5 million for an invisable player,. Maybe he can play RG since I think we are all pretty sure that Villarrial is close to the end.
-
the reason I see Tressel not being a Bills coach is simple, First off, there are storied Franchises in the NFL, they can get great college coaches to go into the NFL from rather large programs, the Dolphins for one. Dolphins have a long history. The Cowboys can get a coach out of retirement, do you think that we could have gotten BP to come out of retirement. 2nd money, I am sure that Tressel is paid well. the Bills underpay coaches and are unwilling to pay 2-3 million a year for a coach.
I like Vermeil, he has done it before, he is loved by our defensive leader, and the love could spread, soon they'll all be yelling we love Dick. Players play hard for dick
-
I got this glowing lawn sign, every year my brother in law and sister sent me something Bills related, and every year it's something that makes me laugh a little, of course they send real gifts with it, but now I have a flaming Bills sign to display...next year
-
the way Preston played the other week, I don't feel he is going to be a starting guard in the NFL, nor center, this was another TD reach. Love LeCharles Bentley, he is an anchor. I could see moving gandy inside, he a good athlete (at guard, not so much at LT) and as for Marcus McNeill, my feeling is he is not going to amount to much in the NFL, he is similar to Williams, but not as strong or as athletic. But like Williams he lacks heart. Give Williams a pay cut and a 2nd chance next year. I would still love to Sign Jon Runyan, and place him at RT, with Williams moving to RG.
-
we couldn't afford the conract he is being paid.
And he'll end up playing for Miami next year, mark this post, the Dolphins need a QB, and they have lots of money. This could be taken as good news or bad news for us, the bad news is chambers could be great with a good QB, the good news is he takes a lot of sacks. and the Dolphins line is not considered good, it might be worse than ours......nah

lets start with whom I'd like to see,
The Indy Colts vs. the giants, you've got the manning match up, good personel, in terms of good sound bites, harrison and Freeney are ex cuse players, I've always thought highly of Barber. not to mention Tom Coughlin coached RIT and is an ex cuse. also also Indy going undefeated, so I don't have to hear about the Dolphins doing it. and it shuts up the pats.
least favorite, easy Cowboys and pats...I don't want to hear teacher vs student, bledsoe vs Brady or coaches....i hate both team, both fans are some of the most annoying. plus we'll have to hear how bad the bills are at least once.
-
Jim Fassel, why because i don't really want to see another OC or DC come in here and just go through the motions so to speak, this is a team full of vets, and we need a coach that has Head coached before. the list is short, Mike Ditka-is an idiot, jimmy johnson doesn't like the cold, and Marv is too old, Jim Fassel brought an undertalented giants team to the super bowl, he was Loved by his players.
that is what we need, someone that doesn't have to prove themself and will get instant respect from the players.
-
If we could get Reggie Bush I would crap my pants.
However assuming we don't we need to address both lines in the draft...WE HAVE TO!
however I think once MM and TD hit the road together on a gay cowboy trip, I think we'll be okay, we need to keep Eric Moulds, and I think we can drop his pay low enough where cutting him would be close to keeping him capwise. he is still talented and one of only a few on this team able to go over the middle.
Mike Williams is gone.
sam Adams should stay.
Jeff Posey should get his walking papers
Bennie Anderson is eating up a roster spot and a paycheck releasing him does save us money.
Mark Campbell-I think he is a free agent
trey Teague
A few Free agents worth looking at IMHO
LeCharles Bentley, and build around him.
Jon Runyan, very physical, something we didn't see with Mike Williams at all. and because he'll be 33, he should be a hell of a lot cheaper than thomas. Jason Peters is currently our best Olineman, prior to the offseaon, he is good enough to move to LT, if he fails Mike Gandy is his back up.
Matt Schobel-Very athletic TE and since he has family here maybe he'll sign for less, he would be our starter next year, until Everett is completely ready.
then draft as such, we need to build around JP, he is still our future
1-Haloti Ngata-assuming he declares, if Mario Williams is there I would entertain him, I think Williams is a sure thing. Ngata, has a little more risk.
2-Max jean-Gilles-he might be a little overweight at 350+, David Joseph would be a good alt.
3-Todd Watckins-use JP's one solid ability so far, Watkins is the best deep threat in the draft. and is 8 inches taller than Roscoe
3b-Daniel Bullock-his progress tells us how important Lawyer is, if he learns fast, lawyer may be off to his third team.
4-James Wyche-quick and potential good DE
5-Gerald Mills-I would love to get him, he played TE for tulsa, and is the #1 TE in every stat in college this year, but at 6'2" 235 ounds he is best in the pros as a H-Back or FB-he's tough and can dominate, and could turn out to be the best pick if we get him.
6-back up QB like Gradkowski
7-Pierre woods-OLB-
JP could be very good with a few more seconds in the pocket, a line of
Peters, Jean-Gilles, Bentley, Villarrial-Runyan
with short outlets like Mills and Schobel, and a healthy Everett
an additional deep threat like Watkins, and an even year for Moulds.
on Defense you start with a healthy Spikes, with the playmaking ability of crowell (who is far better than Posey) and Fletcher.
with a Defensive line of Schobel, Adams, Ngata, and Kelsey
the 2ndary reamins the same. side note lost in this season is the play of King, who I think is playing very well for a rookie.
-
Jason Peters-Max Jean Gilles-LeCharles Bentley-Chris V.-Jon Runyan
sign Bentley in the offseason along with the well seasoned Runyan, the first year cap cost would be less than Mike Williams, it would be less than what we save releasing mike williams, and in the 2nd round draft MJG-unless your flavor is David Joseph, who might not be as talented but is more athletic. MJG weighs in at about 360, while joseph is a light weight at 315
this line is better at run blocking, and is far better at pass blocking, and is reasonable price wise
-
don't you wish you had a say... and don't you wish they would tell you there intentions.
well here would be mine
Hire Jim Johnson DC form the Eagles as my new head coach, well respected and well liked.
OC Mike Martz...once the rams release him, the greatest show in snow?
DC whomever coach johnson wants.
Free agents I will target
LeCharles bentley center-tough athletic center
Jon Runyan-Tough physical RT, and a well seasoned vet.
Matt Schobel-I bet you didn't expect him, but a very good athlete, with great hands he would start if everett was not ready. ran a 4.6 40 prior to the draft several years ago and was drafted in the 2nd round.
Grady Jackson-up there in age and up there in weight.
my Draft targets
1-Haloti Ngata large athletic DT, I think I read that he recorded 60+ tackles this past year, that is pretty good.
2-Max Jean Gillies-LG from Georgia, tackle heavy draft projects him into the 2nd round. a nice steal by us...finally since I am your GM thinngs are going our way.
3-Todd Watckin WR from BYU-6'3" 195, great speed, JP Losman has found the touch on the deep ball, however with midgets trying to catch it it makes it tough for him. Sorry to my employees for calling them midgets...but come on, 5"8".
3b-Daniel Bullock-Neb. SS, future SS after lawyer leaves
4-James Wyche DE from Syracuse great athlete and a bit of a project, but less than Ritzmann was
5-Gerald Mills from tulsa-TE/H back/Fullback-destoyed UCF in the con USA championship. great hands and a tough blocker, ideal for the greatest show in snow. also is a great release for Losman.
6-Bruce Gradkowski-back up QB from toledo
7-Pierce woods-from michigan, LOLB/DE
I will try to extend Eric Moulds contract saving money, I will offer the same to Mike Williams, but if he does not proform in preseason say good bye. and bring his weigh to 340.
also say goodbye to Teague, Bennie Anderson, jeff Posey & Mark Campbell.
but i will resign Clements and any others that are Free agents.
I will keep josh Reed, because I believe that we need to give him back number 25, and make him a running back....as a WR he sucks, however as a 3rd down back he could be great.
vote for me and I will even take suggestions, and be up front with everyone. i would also allow this to be Johnson team, and not mine...yes that was a stab at TD

so many of our problems in so little time.
While getting Hutch would be a great move, I have Bentley rated ahead of him as an offensive lineman. Mostly because we need an anchor. Sunday proved to me that Dookie is not ready. But good news this is a better than average tackle draft,
the biggest problem facing Losman is the push up the middle, mostly by blitzes, but also by teague's inability to stop a Bull rush. Mike Williams has to look at himself in the mirror, I remember drafting him, and the "experts" said he was a can't miss, saying he has a great personality...a passive one...that is his problem. Jon Runyan is a free agent, he doesn't have a passive personality, he's aging fast but, he brings a physical game. (assuming he is healthy, honestly I have been unable to watch any other games after we lose).
I feel strongly that Peters could play LT, he's more athletic than any tackle in the NFL, and he has dealt with the physical RT position well.
Mike williams might be better suited for RG, as long as he takes a major pay reduction. Someone should tell me why the best lineman we have is a RG, can we move CV to LG?
So my Line...
Jason Peters-CV-Bentley-meatball-Jon Runyan..Runyan is a cheap upgrade and Bentley gives us the best center we've had since Hull. More importantly we add two players with a physical nature that will fight until the whistle. and sometimes longer, but we need that. but we also keep 2 excellent athletes in Peters and Williams who could learn from a vet like Runyan, and we keep the one bright spot on the line....but we also keep Gandy and Preston, and maybe hopefully get a lineman in the draft.
I think we have to keep Adams, ealier in Nov someone talked about Jackson from Green Bay..I'm down with that. I trully feel that Bannan is nothing more than a great special teamer. and anderson is the weakest lineman I have ever seen. In a perfect world we would get Mario Williams first and then in the 2nd round capture watson....let us dream. Mario Williams is a DE much like Peppers. and watson I feel is a lot like sam Adams, but he moves slightly better.
if that doesn't work out I will be very happy with Ngata, as a plug in and a four man rotation of Jackson, Adams, edwards, and Ngata....if my math is correct that is like 1400 poundsish....that will wear down the interior of any line.
as for WR, Reggie Wayne is Peerless price. and I will be GD if we get another cancer Miami player....they seperate teams! I prefer Bryant, but if that is our best option in the offseason we are in trouble.
I really like Stovall, he is huge and gets open...he is similar to Owens in that way.
as a third rounder he is perfect!! another player I like alot is byrd the TE from USC. But where does he go.
I still feel that we keep Moulds, and get a new coaching staff.
we need our vets!!!!
-
in a fantasy world my attempt
trade Willis McGahee and next years first round pick for the 2nd or 3rd pick, whatever gets us Reggie Bush, assuming that he leaves early. He creates match up problems and might become the best back in the NFL, then with the circa 10th pick draft Haloti Ngata, if he leaves early, 2nd choice would be Watson or Wright, however if DE Mario Williams leaves early and he is still there, draft him, so ideally Mario Williams.
then in the 2nd assuming we got Ngata draft Dominique Byrd TE out of USC, I think he is more pro ready at TE than any other TE in this draft, he runs solid routes and blocks well.
in the 3rd I get Maurice Stovall, great size and an athletic ability, I feel strongly that young QB need big WR.
talant-whatever is left. but include as a late round pick Garrett Mills, 6'2" 235 TE, that could play FB, and catches the ball very well.
resign Clements and sign Jeff backus, also extend Moulds contract, and williams...yes i know, but we could save money while keeping talant.
not sold on Wayne, I feel he is the 2nd coming of Peerless, whom we could have anyways
so breakdown
extend moulds, and williams
resign Clements
sign Backus
Figure out the Posey (CUT HIM!!!!) situation, along with the Adams (KEEP HIM, Please) situation
1-Reggie Bush RB (after mcgahee trade with 2007 1st ronder)
1b-Haloti Ngata DT
2-Dominique Byrd TE
3-Maurice Stovall WR
3b-talant
4""
5""
6-Garett Mills FB
7 talants
yes i know but one can dream

reduce the saleries of Mike meatball williams, and eric Moulds, saving an est 6 million while keeping them on the team. Okay Meatball is having a hard time on the left side, could we move Chris V over to the left side? So meatball can have his way?
Sign free agent Jeff Backus with left over money, he is not a great LT, but he is the best in the market this year, and I think he would love to get out of detroit, even if he played college at Michigan. Any word on the signing of ross Verba? Since he was off a year, TD is licking his chops to sign him
resign Clements...has to be done.
not sure where we stand cap wise at this point, but assuming the deal for backus only cost around 3 million the first year, we should be in okay shape....
CUT POSEY!!!! I have been saying this for the last 2 years that he is the weakest link on our defense, he gets knocked back and he is horrible in coverage.
Arrington is on the out in washington, maybe the pinkskins would to part ways? maybe for a 3rd rounder? he has been healthy this year, and he and the coaching staff have not seen eye to eye. since they take his bonus he wouldn't cost us more than 3-4 million a year, we could also resign him and and extend his contract.
then draft
1. Haloti Ngata-best DT in the last two years
2-Tye Hill-he is up for the thorpe award, but i think he falls into the 2nd round on draft day.
3-Maurice Stovall-questionable hands, but great size, young qbs need big WR....see Eli manning...don't see ben Rothksfgahfaberger.
other 3-traded
4-James Wyche DE, with good size/speed and has a lot of experience after playing for the SU defense this past year. has the potential to get bigger and play Left or right end
after that draft speed.
and I like our odds.
-
okay you cut moulds save 5 million+ cool right, howeverwho in this years free agent market could you get to replace him? Reggie wayne is Peerless price. and no way in hell is he worth 5 million a year.
I strongly believe we can reduce his salery, and keep him, he is younger than TO and the lack of game breaking ability has more to do with his offense and not him, he is being asked to catch 6 yard outs.
Moulds is still the most talented player on the team. okay well maybe after peters
-
one thing I've noticed this year is that we don't create match up problems, for example if you are playing the chargers, LT can not only run the ball but he is a very good reciever too. So you have to respect him in both areas. when you see him in the huddle, you can't just put a LB in there to counter it because he could line up in the slot or Wide, and you might have a LB or a slower safety covering him. but if you added a another corner to try to counter him, they'll run it.
we don't have the personal to do that.
another example is a TE that can beat LBs, but is too big for CB and safeties to handle.
This steeler like offense just doesn't create it,
Wyche for OC-bring back the no huddle
-
I don't know about good hands, I've seen him drop a wide open pass in the end zone like his name is josh reed before. But speed he has, and he is a tough blocker.
and i thought Jay R, was a good TE. Bobby collins had potential. Hell I'd take Lonnie right now
-
how about a new GM, that knows how important it is to get those things. trading for Campbell errrrr not smart, drafting undersized WR in the 2nd round. Hell, I'd take Alex Smith (the TE) right now over Parrish, or an offensive linemen, and don't give me there were no good linemen after, there were, there always is. Drafting Mike williams.....who the f drafts a RT with the 4th pick...who? us! I would take 1st mate Bryant McKinnie right now, fewer chances of a boat trip, well unless the maid of the mist counts. how about SS roy williams?
It starts with TD, he makes the picks and signs the free agents.
-
Ngata, without question, he is the best player in the draft, he has size and quickness, having seen him play a few time this year, I'll tell you at 340+ he falls back into zone coverage and does pretty well. We would be very lucky to get him.
there is not one WR in this draft I would pick in the first round, which brings me to this we need to keep moulds! Also while Lewis is a good TE, we need to figure out if Everett is going to be our starting TE next year, or if this system only needs a campbell starting. I am hoping that he can regain his speed.
I would rather see what the free agency marget has on tackle before drafting one, Jeff Backus is a free agent and I like him, also there will be salery cap releases.
I think LB is also a need, not only for depth, but who knows maybe starting. this is a strong LB draft, assuming that many juniors come out.
and before you put down texas DL remember Casey Hampton and Shawn rogers are both from there, and we'd take either one of them now
-
I mean, I know this is an emotional response, but where do we begin? From Top to bottom yesterday we sucked, well special teams were great. good kick off returns and Lindell made a nice long field goal, not to mention we covered very well. But outside of that we sucked.
I can't blame JP for yesterdays game, he looked his best thus far. If Josh reed could catch the ball who knows maybe he would have set career highs.
RB-can't blame Mcgahee too much, he was limited since we were down the entire game. and Shelton...I have beef with shelton, he doesn't block as well as he did last year, and he is a stiff.
The Offensive line is terrible. Teagues is gone, Gandy is okay but he should be a guard. Anderson is Terrible (thanks TD) the right side is okay, considering how we got peters his potential is huge, but his play against SD was weak.
WR, we have to find a way to keep moulds, he is our only WR that can get the short passes, Reed shouldn't be a bill. Lee Evans can vanish, partly because he needs time to get opened, and time is something Losman doesn't have. Parrish...why did we draft a tiny WR, when common sense will tell you a young QB needs a big target. TE......how bad can we suck at TE. Mark Campbell is the slowest TE in the history of TEs.
on D, if you have not noticed the problem starts at DT, Anderson is a waste. Bannan forgot he was playing defense when he knocked his own man off of Turner. DE we need more speed!!!
LB-Crowell is a keeper, I think next year Spikes should line up at Strongside and Crowell at weakside, he runs well and hits hard, Fletcher is already on the decline, maybe he needs spikes that much and a defensive line too, but that end around last night made me want to cry. which brings me to Posey, I have no idea why he is still in there, he can't cover, can't tackle, and is slow (remember the fumble he picked up, had a 15 yard head start and was caught by a power running back) CB, we need depth, Clements should be resigned right now after last nights game he should be cheaper. McGee is a nickel back, but is starting. at Safety we need to get younger.
I Blame TD, not the coaches.
-
Tom and Mony's is more than likely where you want to go, at Orange and Holden. Forget ESPN zone, you'll have to be there at like 11:30 to get a seat. Or at least the one time I tried to go down there that is what happened. Fridays Front Row on International drive isn't bad, and there is an ale house near disney.
-
He is maybe the most Bias announcer out there, well after the the ESPN crew and rich Gannon. My favorite moment was when Clements and Chris Horn started to fight, he kept saying well clements was holding him down, and when they both got a flag he reacted with a "yeah right" but a few plays later when Dalton started hitting the back of Willis' helmet he said these two teams have been at it since the London Fletcher hit on Green. needless to say if I never see another broadcast with Cross I won't be too sad. It ranks up there with Rich Gannon almost cheering for the Bucs and Raiders. where is Steve tasker when you need him, not to announce, but to hit them.
-
I think he should be added to the rotation even when Adams returns. bannan and anderson have the weakest set of hands in the NFL, they never man handle RBs like they should be able to. they might be in good position, but they don't make the tackle. If jefferson can that the easy answer is start him. I've yet to see anderson make a solo tackle and it is very frustrating.
-
Bentley would be great, but look for jonathon ogden to be released, he is highly overpaid and has trouble with speed rushers. I think he has several years of great football left. As for the interior of our line, Duke is the future at center, hopefully he can build on what he has done so far this year. At the moment our weakest position is LG, the Anderson pick up makes no sense now. I think Gandy would be able to fill that spot if we can't find someone in the draft.
I feel we have to address the OL in this years draft.
so this is my line
Ogden
Gandy/draft pick
Duke
CV-or anderson (he has to make a better RG than LG I hope)
Williams
Why Can't the Bills

We have seen it happen before, the 1999 Rams for example, no one expected what they did, but a coach that inspires and a team that has had so many down years, get a break and amounts to something, world champs!
However I don't feel MM inspires, we need an emotional leader to this team.
Next year i see our defense getting better, the addition of a 1st round draft pick and an active offseason will help our defense, but we can't go through another offseason of expecting players to step up. Or to overachieve, Mike Gandy was released by a sorry team, now he is starting at the most important position on our line, and he might be the 2nd best player we have.
We can't release vets, if we want a turn around we have to keep our talent, at least the talent that wants to remain. Releasing Moulds for example would be a HUGE mistake, without him we have 3 WR that stand 5'10" or less. He also is the leader of our offense.
young QB+ poor offensive line+short WR=sacks and ints, if you can't protect Losman and he can't just wing the ball in the area of a WR he is more than likely going to throw ints and get sacked. Eli Maning has had a good year because he has tall WRs, a good TE, a good RB release and an improving line.
