i like Moore since his 49ers days(i think is the same guy) but then came the injuries,cut or waive then dissapear until last year at the end w/bills
Wrong player
Kyle Moore was drafted by Tampa Bay in the 4th round of 2009...played 2009 and 2010 starting some but then got cut at the end of last yrs preseason.
Lions signed him after cuts then cut him midseason....Buffalo signed him at the end of last season.
Kyle Moore played for USC defense along with Bengals Manauluga and the Packers Clay Mathews...came out in 2009 draft...9 starting D-men graduated and I think many of them got draftes.

Jay skurski just shy of 10 min in talks to a Seattle radio station about buffalo. The first 10 minutes the persn talks to a patriots reporter.

"Peace Bridge Design #386 Up For Public Vote"
(hey, you didn't say what section of the paper)
So true---me and my brother when we come back into town are amazed at the constant stories of the new peace bridge being built and the attempt to get a Bass Pro shop or soemthing else for the waterfront.

I'd keep an eye on Nick Foles in Philadelphia.
Given Philadelphia history of QBs who cant do anything outside of Philadelphia's offense---thanks but not thanks.
Somehow I think you guys will still be too busy with this subject and miss out as the Bills make a legitimate run at the playoffs this year.
Its a fair question to talk about.
Personally I dont believe a rookie QB can come in and win---history doesnt support it. History also supports if the QB sits on the bench for a yr or two when they come out they are much better because of it.
Yes I think Buffalo should be looking at a future QB--not necessarily one for 2013---but one for maybe 2015.
If you look at the team if they perform how we believe the biggest needs to be addressed in the top 3 rounds will be QB, LB, and a UFA position loss.
Lets say Buffalo makes the playoffs but is out in the wild card round...their pick would be low 20s. Some forcasts have the Oklahoma QB landing around that spot.

Well, when Losman was drafted the Bills told us he was right there on a par with the rest of that draft class' first rounders. Eli Manning and Big Ben have won Super Bowls and may some day be in Canton. Phillip Rivers has carried his team to the playoffs in the past and is the undisputed leader of his team. The other guy that Modrak rated in this group is the one the Bills traded up for and he's out of the NFL, though he might get on a roster as a disaster QB.
The good news is Modrak is now at BLESTO, so the Bills aren't the only ones reading his scouting reports.
Lets look at those QBs and see how stable their offense coordinator/offensive philosophy and head coaching have been vs what happened in Buffalo.
Doesnt matter how great a QB is...if you run them through something like 4 offensive coordinators over 5 years you are killing the QB---no matter how good/talented they are
-
My prediction...the offense will have some red zone issues.....they win 26-13. Defense makes some plays giving them a shorter field.
-
thanks, where do you see that though? the506.com hasn't posted their map yet
The stations have published what they will air so if you go on titan or zapit
-
For week 1...it appears the Bills-Jets game will air in:
all of NY State
Erie, Scranton, and Philadelphia in Pennsylvania
Cheyenne, WY, Denver, and Colorado Springs (These markets carry the Broncos --Tebow fans I guess).
-
Buffalo will not sign him until after all the cuts are done and they see what all is out there. Other teams may be looking to cut/dump an old tire TE and get a pick for them.
-
Not sure how it relates to Gailey...
Did you read it?
The article talks about crating new offenses--in particular to the wildcat and versions of them and his work as KC Chiefs OC job when Tyler Thigpen played in KC.
-
His wife is hot.
Can we just sign his wife ???

I think what you were reading is teams that didn't take them OFF of PUP, meaning they have to miss the first 6 weeks (such as Jahvid Best).
I won't claim to be an expert on PUP, so I certainly could be wrong. I did read this on the PUP wiki though.
"A player who, as a result of football-related injuries, is unable to take part in training camp practices may be assigned to the preseason PUP list. Players can be moved off the PUP list to the active roster at any time, even after one practice. A player cannot be placed on the PUP list, however, once he has taken the field for a practice, even if only for a few minutes."
Teams put player on the PuP list as part of their roster moves to get down to 75. PuP list players do not count against the roster.
The Steelers RB Mendenhall was taken off the PuP list so he can participate in practices and be part of the team.
the Bills put TE Caussins on the PuP.
Under the PuP the player has to wait till after week 6 then when he is finally activated from it he has 3 weeks to then join the club on a roster spot otherwise he is cut or put on IR.
Once you are off the PuP list you are off.
There are clauses in this because how do you determine if the player is healthy to play or not. The key is that it was an injury from last year so he could practice.
The other STUPID CLAUSE in it.....who thought this should be shot....
You cant go on the PuP in the offseason without going through waivers. The Patriots claimed the Giants TE who got hurt in the super bowl through this system when the Giants wanted him to go on the PuP.

If you've actually watched the games, you'd think differently. This is where stats are deceiving. There's a reason why Matt Flynn, Matt Cassel, and Kevin Kolb were highly chased after their tenure with their old teams. They played well in their last years of their contracts.
I did--I live in the Seattle area....
The the NFL works is highly based on system. If a QB understands the system that goes tot heir stength they turn out great. The other aspect is system stability. What kills QBs is having to constantly change systems. The far bigger factor in success of young QBs is being in a system that doesnt change.
A problem with JP and with Alex Smith of SF is that they went through a new OC just about every year. That is a nightmare scenario.
TJ knew the system...Minnesota OC came to Seattle which is why TJ went to Seattle. He knew the playbook---but he didnt know his teammates. He would have known one--Sidney Rice but he was lost for the year in the preseason.
Their schedule ....
@SF--close game--made 19-17 late in the the 4th before SF had a 100+ yr KO return after the TD drive and then added on a punt return TD both under 4 min to go
@PIT-loss
ARIZ-won
ATL---nissed a game winning FG on the last play of the game.
@ NYG--won
@ CLE--bad loss---TJ didnt play...Lynch didnt play
CIN--It was 17-12 then 20-12 in the 4th before CIN had two returns TDs (punt return and a INT return)
@ DAL-loss (not as horrendous as Buffalo)
this point the were 2-6...they then go 5-1 playing:
BAL-win
@ STL-win
WASH-loss...they had a 17-7 with about 10 min to go before WAS scored 2 TDs and a FG to win.
PHL-Win
STL-win
They get to 7-7 in the playoff race...had they won ATL they would have had full control of their playoff fate
SF--loss---seattle had a 17-16 lead till a late 4th FG gave SF the lead/win
@AZ-loss in meaningless game

Another idea to eliminate the punter....
stop them on 3rd down if the choose to "punt" the ball is placed 40 yards down from the spot of the ball...if that spot is the endzone then a touchback. Thus if you are inside the opponents 40 you will have to go for it on all 4th downs you choose not to try a FG.
Eliminate the kickoff the same way...40 yards from the quickoff spot.and set kickoffs at the 35. A team could choose to do the onside kick.
To add stategy...rewars kicks placed at the 40 yrd line are farther back worth 4 points instead of 3.
The article is playing off the same statistical stuff that was talked about extensivly (and TMQ mentions it in his piece) when the Patriots went for on 4th down around their own 30 yd line. What are the probabilities of making it on 4th and short and what are the risks given field position.

From the article:
"Consider that the Giants-versus-Bills Super Bowl in 1991 came down to a 47-yard field goal attempt on grass as the clock expired. When the kicker missed, he was blamed for the loss, though 47 yards on grass is 50/50 for the best place-kickers. Earlier in the game, Buffalo punted on fourth-and-1 from midfield and on fourth-and-2 from the Giants' 44. The Bills were the league's highest-scoring team that year, averaging 6.3 yards per offensive snap. Had Buffalo gone for it on those fourth-and-short situations, victory was likely. But had Buffalo gone for it and failed, coach Marv Levy would have been roasted with criticism. He did the expected, sent in the punting unit, lost the game -- and the blame went to someone else."

Keep an eye on Jeff Tuell this season - he's very likely to last until day 3 of the draft, possibly even go undrafted - and, if Chan Gailey is fully committed to a pass-happy spread offense, there can be no better mentor than Tuell's new coach at Wazzu...
.
i live in Washington...know all about Tuell. He showed potential last year...what happens with Leach....He would have been someone to take a flyer on say 5th round or below. But now with Leach he will be watched and examined by many. A good year he shoots up into 2/3
-
The slant/quick routes were done to counter QB pressure. If they are able to hold a pocket longer bigger plays and longer plays can develop.
-
Seattle media is reporting (confirming) the Bills give up a 7th round pick which could turn into a 6th based on circumstances.
-
Yeah, ponying up $4m per year for Brad Smith was just so much cheaper.
GO BILLS!!!
Look at the jets receiving corps now?? Bills help that some.

Just like with Roscoe P....Ashton was cut by the Jags....
-
The Bills (and other teams) sometimes cut people they want to transition to the practice squad in the first round of cuts. These cuts tend to be looked at less closely than the last round. Teams are looking for a 54th player that was cut that are good enough for their 53. It's tougher to look for developmental guys that probably won't make the roster.The Bills sacked Jason Peters in their first round of cuts during his rookie season and later signed him to the practice squad (and eventual full-time starter).
I agree as well......You cut players now they are ignored by most for PS considerations. A player you think is PS material could more likely pass through now than next week. Part of that is because those cut after week 4 also likely played quite a bit during preseason week 4 so teams have more game tape on some of these players to view and analyze. If they are some of the last cuts the teams will look more closely at the players cut.

i would expect Buffalo in rounds 1-3 to be looking to draft:
1. Quarterback
2. Linebacker
3. Replacing positional player lost as UFAs (Buffalo have a few starters who could walk after this season)
Easley..

actually if team B is playing team A the next week (it could be longer like 2-3 weeks or next game).....team B CAN NOT pull any players from team As PS.
