Whitner, Hardy, Royal practicing
By Chris Brown - Posted November 14th, 2008
Donte Whitner is practicing for a third straight day. It does appear as though they’re still keeping Whitner out of any unnecessary contact this week to give the shoulder as much time to heal as possible. However, there was one instance during walk through where he lifted the arm of his separated shoulder completely straight up over his head. We’ll get an update from coach Jauron after practice.
James Hardy practiced for a second straight day which is a good sign and Robert Royal was back practicing Friday after missing Thursday’s practice with an ankle injury.
The only non-participants were Josh Reed, who worked on the side with trainers and Aaron Schobel.

Where is the part showing that "Man you can tell Reed wants to play"?

I had just heard Larry Quinn in the last couple of weeks stating that he hoped Bass Pro could be open by Dec 2010 when the World Jr. Hockey Championships come to town. Instead, we can't even get a contract signed to knock down the building that is standing in the way of Bass Pro, let alone get something built in a timely manner. WTF!
-
Great game. The offense is very explosive, but the defense is embarrassing.
By the way...What was up with 3 runs into the line before the winning kick? There is no way they had that much confidence in the kicker to make a 42 yarder(or whatever it was).
-
Further proof that they should stick to sports talk. Not even remotely funny.

Go UB! It may have to be a shootout for UB to win.
PS Akron's new stadium looks nice. I know UB's stadium was build for the World University Games, but I hate the fact that the track keeps the seats so far from the field(especially the ones in the endzone). I doubt this can ever be corrected short of bulldozing it and starting from scratch.

Lets be realistic, Jauron is here for a while. What is the likelyhood that Guy or Modrak or Perry Fewell are let go at the end of the season?
I'm not sure if Modrak is involved with pro personnel evaluation in even the smallest way, but Guy should definitely be shown the curb and if he is running his FA recommendations by Modrak, then they both should go.
Posey
Triplett
Fowler
Teague
Dockery
Royal
Price(the 2nd time around)
Darwin Walker(trade fiasco)
etc...
Quote from 1/2008 espn.com article...
Director of college scouting Tom Modrak and director of pro scouting John Guy both were elevated by owner Ralph Wilson to vice president in their respective departments. Wilson called Guy and Modrak "very deserving" of the promotions.
What a joke!
-
Didn't they promote him a year or so ago? Why not let him hire an assistant special teams coach or two and give him more responsibility on the OL or DL Or Offensive coordinator
You want to give him more responsibilities with the OL, DL or OC, but what is his expertise in these areas?
-
They hung onto to Tripplet until his contract ran out.
Triplett signed a 5 year deal with the Bills and played here for two years. Do the math.

I am really growing tired of the channels dedicated to one artist. Do I really need to listen to some Springsteen song that he recorded in the crapper or obscure Led Zeppelin songs that even the diehards wouldn't recognize.
-
He didn't say anything about walking, so close to the stadium is relative.
I guess he could go to Danny's or 7/11 then.
Could be. I guess it could be interpreted either way.
-
The OP said he wants to get to the stadium a couple of hours before the game and then get something to eat...as in walking distance from the stadium!
-
No, I don't see anyone rushing out to sign him. But can we really do any worse than we are now? Give him or Simeon Rice a shot, worst case scenario, we still don't get pressure, but the Bills would've shown the fans they tried to fix it. Oh, and by the way, the Jets just signed Ty Law (another wash up...or is he?). You know, the same Jets who picked off Trent twice two weeks ago and allowed only three points to the Rams last week. Its called being aggressive. Its called improving and adding DEPTH. Its called trying to make yourselves better even at 6-3. Its also called making a CONSCIOUS effort to end the New England dominance. I know their our division rivals, but good for the Jets. At least someone is trying to improve themselves in the division.
Rice is 34 and has been inured and/or out of the NFL since mid-way through the 2006 season. It's great to throw names out there, but at least give it some thought first. As far as KGB goes, if his knees are shot, the Bills medical staff can't wave their magic wands and make them better.
Don't you think the word spreads quickly throughout the NFL when certain players have hit the wall?

Grab 2-3 slimers from Louie's with a couple orders of fries w/sauce and then wash them down with a couple of immodium pills!

Dont just tell me who sucks tell me who you think is going to come in a play better. The FO went after gonzo and it didnt work who else on our roster would be a better option? Our former 7th round pick? Maybe our 4th rounder with 3 catches in his career? neither one has proved much in either blocking or recieving
Exactly how much of an impact has Royal had in the running game? They have one of the worst rushing attacks in the NFL! As far as receiving goes, Schouman and/or Fine in the little they have shown are Royal's equal at the very minimum. It is time for Royal to join the FA bust list under the direction of the GREAT John Guy...

With the 3 year contract in hand, Jauron is here to stay this year and next at the very minimum, and next year would have to be a disaster(6-10 or worse) for RW to fire him.
Bringing up Bill Cowher's name as a potential candidate to replace Jauron is riciulous. Anyone who has followed Bills football for as little as 10 minutes would know that Ralph will never pay the big bucks for a HC. NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN...NEVER!
The only "big name" who ever came to Buffalo was Chuck Knox and he had nowhere near the resume that Cowher has. The one great coach he had in the 60's he couldn't get along with(Saban) and eventually got rid of him. The rest of the HC's RW has hired were bargain basement...
Collier
Johnson
Ringo
Stephenson
Bullough
Levy(he was a CFL has-been when hired by the Bills)
Williams
Mularkey
Jauron
Cowher as HC of the Bills...

...or make a move soon to pick up a defensive end, they can forget it.
What kind of a move do you suggest since the trade deadline has come and gone? KGB? Have you noticed any of the 31 teams in the NFL rushing to sign him? In terms of finding a way to get to the QB with blitzes, Fewell has shown nothing in terms of resolving the lack of a pass rush.
What you see is what you get in terms of the pass rush.

If you think a petition with even 500,000 names on it would have any effect you are delusional.
Only 499,700+ do go.
-
Fowler
Teague
Anderson
Reyes
Dockery
Whittle
Gandy
and a couple of others I am probably missing!
Either John Guy sucks at evaluating NFL talent, the coaching is sub-par or these players flat out can't cut it. The 3 day one picks in April better be OL or DL.
-
ACor58 is right. We are very, very competitive right now with the bottom say, 15 to 20 teams, but don't have the depth to withstand 6 or 7 starters out (butler, reed, whitner, fowler, schobel, boty, parrish, mcgee et al) to stay with the top 10 teams.
Miami and the Jets are top 10 teams?
-
Between the tackles he's a beast...
Is that before or after he does his dancing?
-
Are you suggesting the Dline play Oline and the Oline playing on the Dline? Cause I like it.
At this point, could it hurt?

Expect Lynch to play 8-10 seasons. He'll have two-four 1,000 yard seasons. The rest he'll have between 600-999 yards. Expect him to finish somewhere between 7,500-10,000 yards. Really good running back, but he won't be great.
Very lofty expectations. Only 43 RB's in NFL history have hit the 7500 yard mark and I haven't seen anything close to enough from Lynch to believe that he can achieve that total.

Could that have something to do with our complete inability to put any pressure on the QB?
4/5th of our OL is black. Maybe that is the problem. Wrong color on both sides of the line.
Maybe you are on to something.
Problems with the Aud tear down?

The point is to have some significant development completed in the next two years whether it be Bass Pro/entertainment/retail/lodging and all the other things the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corp. keep "talking" about.
That being said, the new "master plan" was promised in August, then September. Haven't heard a word about it since then.
No accountability=no results.
