Watson? Watson? Someone actually brought him to camp? I assumed he was selling Weber Grills or working for Hostess in the Pop Tart division with his penchant for being toasted.....
They were going to change the name of the nickle back position because it overvalued him...
Okay I am done

With or without farm animals BGIM...maybe TD has a pig thing going on like the guy from Louisiana in the story the other day....
Me, I think TD has trench coat flasher written all over him....

Why's everybody surprised Dorenbos made the team? It's not like any other long snapper was used in pre-season. Burns makes the team due to special teams coverage and his rep. as a runner. All Ritzmann did in preseason was make plays - so - congrats to him. Pucillo was the starter for most of PS, so, the coaches must see something in him. He seems to be the pissing boy for Bills fans, but, we don't see him day in day out like the coaches.
I'm not surprised. They tried Nuefeld, Denny, Teague--none had the velocity or accuracy according to reports from Chris Brown and Jeff Morrison. I think the Magic Man has a chance to be an Adam Linger type---he has a very unique talent and seems to be very willing to work to get better.

I hope there is something to the Sobieski back and shoulder thing. Wasn't Sobieski a 4th round pick last year? That is pretty fast turnaround on a relatively high draft pick. Obviously, somebody at One Bills Drive thinks Puccio has some game, given all the time and opportunity he has been given to develop.
The only thing that bugs me buftex--is that Sobieski was not even a starter in college for most of his career because of the shoulder issue...he even shared time as a senior. That's UDFA material to me -- not a draft choice....a little frustrating to waste a pick but it won't be the first or the last...
-
I feel bad about this one to Rico. The kid did show some early promise..but he seemed very lazy the last two years. The opportunity was there for him due to injury last year and then Ruben being cut and he never really competed. He looked slow at tackle and very tame at guard.....well he lasted three years....I think that makes him pension eligible...
-
I think Tucker overtook him for the back-up Center role in the last two weeks. As far as Sobieski vs. Pucillo--we never really saw Sobieski on the field for real..we know Pucillo is bad--but maybe Big Ben was worse. Also, I have heard about shoulder and back problems for Sobieski that border on chronic....
-
4 UDFA's make the team--not a bad job by the scouts.
Three UDFA's are from Tennessee
Greer
Ritzmann
Baker
We really like Phil Fulmer's boys.....
The other, Shaud Williams really showed something.
Welcome for the entire year Shane Matthews. I can't say I mind having a back-up like Matthews waiting in the wings....I think we upgraded back-up QB even though it was by necessity.
Someone will pick up Stevenson in a heart beat...Gildon will get another shot somewhere as will McKenzie.

Your GM is forced to spend an evening listening to the outtakes from the new Paris Hilton CD full volume

Preseason 2004 AFC East Champions with a 28-27 win over the Philadelphia. With the reverence that some hold for the preseason, I am assuming this race is over.....September to December are irrelevant...

A likely story....do your best Soooooooeeeeee and pig laugh for us--it they're weak -- we know you're innocent.
Although your story makes sense--those folks from AK wear pigs on their heads during Arkansas football games. It has obviously gone beyond worship into perverse...

Gives a whole new meaning to Makin' Bacon.....

I agree with KH's assessment but wanted to ask Bill what do you think is a reasonable expectation for the number of impact players from an individual draft. Are you more focused on who we passed over to pick the guys we did or on who we selected and them not meeting expectation.
If you are focusing on who we drafted take a look at the 2003 draft.
2003 was:
McGahee-Back up tailback, who may or may not regain his burst--this is a key to his evaluation
Kelsay-Part-time Starter
Crowell-Not shown much
McGee-Nickel Corner and KR with potential/Starter when Vincent moves to FS in 05 or 06
Aiken-Back-up to Moulds - 5th receiver with higher potential
Sobieski-Back up at all 3 interior OL positions
Sape - the 4th or 5th D tackle
Haggan- Starting to come around--sideline to sideline playmaker but behind a great starting group that was all acquired by FA..
So we have 1 part-time starter (Kelsay); a key Defensive sub (McGee) and three potential "first off the bench" back ups (Aiken, McGahee and Sobieski)--and then two guys who probably have been beaten out by a street free agent (Stamer) and a 7th round pick (Stevenson) To me, that's 5 of 7 contributing at or above the expected level after one full year in the league (taking into account McGahee's special circumstances)--The sporting news draft preview magazine does an analysis like this for every team for the previous 5 years and 5 of 7 would be slightly above average for the second year removed from a draft...
Just food for thought...

He appeared in two games, but moved to the active roster in October. So is it being on the 53 man roster or actually being active for a game that makes the determination?
-
So let me get this one straight....AJ Smith, who said signing Flutie to the big contract was a mistake and all Ralph's fault, and then became the driving force behind signing Flutie to a cap unfriendly deal in San Diego and now wants to trade him back to Buffalo so we can absorb said contract....
AJ may have planted this rumor with Florio thinking the fan base would go ape to have Flutie back in Buffalo. Earth to AJ--"This ain't happening bud..."

While doing a story about the Jets, (2002?) Scott was working out with the Wr's and in a drill where your back is to the jugs gun "throwing" the footballs and having to turn around and make the catch, Scott got hit in his left eye, splitting his cornea and lens.
It required several operations and he missed almost 3 months of work.
What makes things worse, is when Scott was younger, he sustained a detached retina in his right eye and counted on the 20/20 vision in his left eye to see well.
Stu's ailment brings back memories of the whole Marcia Brady "Oh my nose" episode. I lost interest in Maureen McCormick after that because she couldn't catch and turned my attention to Eve Plumb.
Berman's hair--take it from a bald guy--combovers are always stupid looking--go bald with dignity.

I am sorry, but you have to understand...there is no possible way this team can recover from a 1 win 3 loss preseason where they have had numerous penalties by guys who may or may not be on the team Sunday at 5 PM, numerous mistakes by guys who will hardly ever see the field and a frist team offense that only scored one touchdown and 3 or 4 FG's while assimilating a new offensive system.
Add to that a Defense that gave up long runs all over the place, long passes also. Sure there's been no scheming, no blitzing, etc...but let's ignore all that because we are just going to be in the crapper.
Finally special teams--they are just going to be in the bottom 5 of the league--guys just brain farting all over the place--ignore again the fact that the team was experimenting with guys in different places and that many of them are being overly aggressive trying to make the team....
Well I have a lot of yard work to on Sunday's this fall....
This is supposed to be fun--but that's why fan is derived from fanatic....

I don't think Sape can go to the PS since he was activated at the end of last year for the final few games. Could be wrong though...
Here's my 15 bye-bye's:
Justin Bannan-DT - Sape beats him out due to more upside
Joe Burns-RB-Coaches like him but injury hurts him--Neufeld is Backup FB
Gerald Dixon-DB (PS)
Jason Esposito-OT (PS)
Jason Gildon-DE
Drew Haddad-WR
Mario Haggan-LB - believe it or not--this one bothers me the most--loses because Crowell was a 3rd rounder..
Luke Lawton-FB (PS)
Mike Pucillo - OG (Tucker and Sobieski take the middle OL back-up spots)
Constantin Ritzmann - DE (PS)
Marques Sullivan-OT (Price and McFarland are the Back-up Tackles)
Fast Freddie Smith - WR/RB/KR (PS)
Rod Trafford - TE
Shuad Williams - RB (PS)
Greg Zolman - QB (PS)
Also on PS - Jason Peters, Mike Shafer
Also when Milloy is back
Pearson Prioleau - FS (Baker beats him out for the Back-up role)
We activate Smith from the PS...

Ummmm....notice on the computer model it says "SUBJECT TO LARGE ERRORS- DO NOT USE FOR PLANNING". If anyone is anywhere close- be safe and get the hell out of the way. Especially if they tell you to leave. Not worth risking your life to stay and "ride out" a massive Category 4 Hurricane. I don't understand what some people are thinking when they refuse to leave.
You are right on...plus this one is just massive--Hurricane Force winds 80 miles in any direction around the wall, Tropical Storm Force winds 185 miles out--that means the area that gets the eye is going to Hurricane Force winds for 10 straight hours--(Storm is moving about 16 mph)--

What about DC---plenty of stuff to do for the kids--The museums are fun and interactive and the Capitol mall is a great place to play and run around--its not oppressively hot this weekend either...

My step daughter is in West Palm and refuses to leave. We told her to get the hell out yesterday, but she said it won't be so bad. Today she is freaking out and all roads out of the area are gridlocked. Told her to just get in the car and wait with everyone else, but she probably won't listen. Sometimes you really wish the kids were close by...and not just to hug 'em, but to kick 'em in the ass when they are acting like idiots!
God bless her NC.... This one could be as strong as Andrew--it almost looks like driving South toward Miami might not be such a bad idea....
-
I trust nooa pooj--looks like Atlanta and Birmingham are going to get what we normally get....Frances is looking West for her victims....hopefully you guys will catch a break from the crappy week you have had...
I know, I know--they are unpredictable--but that cold front that came through last night is steering this one away from us...we aren't even in the probability chart...NOAA 5 day Frances Map

My Mom and Brother are safely with us in Raleigh, NC evacuating from Jensen Beach/Stuart/Ft. Pierce area (which is a likely ground zero for the eye) and driving all night-- . This is not one to be messed with at all.....
Stay safe all you transplanted Floridians...we'll be praying for you. God bless.

stuck, I would agree with your point--our track record is very, very suspect...but I would add Frank Reich to your list of good ones---we had the best #1, #2 combo in the league when it was the Jim and Frank show. Reich didn't have striking physical talent but he was very, very smart.
