I like some of the things you say. But, the term LOCK is used a little too frequently. By the sound of your statements in whole why would the Bills even have training camp. Lock should be a 100%. And, using the example you don't know Lee Smith's name how can he be a lock. I don't think he will make the team as a blocking TE. Strongly agree. I think Urbik will backup at C and G. Hairston could backup at T and G or make the team as a starting G. I like everything you say here.

I voted Houston, but, Tennessee is right there too.

Ramses Barden and the other tall WRs are also all ahead of TJ on the depth chart. He can NOT catch the ball. That is the problem!! If he has not learned to catch the ball at this point in his life and career I strongly don't think he will learn to catch it now. So funny and so true! You can't teach how to catch at this point either!

That is a ridiculous statement!!! He can't catch. He can't attempt to catch a ball without jumping, even when it is right in his numbers! This post of yours shows you lack little knowledge on the sport or have not watched him play!!! He is currently approximately the 8th WR on the roster and can't play special teams (besides returning kicks). I am usually very positive about the Bills and the posters on this board....but, this is just a statement and thread of madness. You receive zero points and I am stupider for hearing you!! He is NOT a NLF WR!! I hope you are joking!

Funny and well said.

I watched some of the first season or two. I did not want the Bills on the show at all with the distractions it brings. But, would have watched it if we were on Hard Knocks. So, overall pleased we are not on it and I will not be watching it. Go Bills!

Well, that statement is just not true. You may not go to games, that part may be true. That is sooo funny because of the truth of the situation!

I dislike hindsight as well. But, I will play along. He would have never seen the field. Maybe the practice squad and then plucked off it to another team. But, thinking back, the Bills didn't have Brady on their draft board. Almost every team didn't have Brady on their draft board. New England was the ONLY team that even spoke to Michigan's head coach prior to the draft.

I am Canadian and live in Southern Ontario. Actually very, very close to Hamilton. I am 100% against the Bills moving to Canada! The Canadian fans and market don't deserve it and would not support the Bills the way an NFL team should be supported!

Agreed. well said.

I am concerned. As long as Crossman is there I am concerned. It is also dissappointing we have given him so many resources to offset his inability to coach!

If he is cleared how is it irresponsible for a team to sign him? Someone will sign him. It is not the teams job to worry about morals and ethics.....that is why doctors are used to clear or not clear players.

I am not sure if Hackett can cut it. But, love the fact we surrounded him with every tool possible to succeed in the offseason.

Agreed on the 2nd tier QB and the pay grade. I do not think it will happen until one of these QB's is allowed to hit free agency and it corrects the market. The first chance at this happening would be Dalton. Or will Cincy sign him to $20 million per year? Luck is worth more than Kap for sure.

Agreed. A gamble that does not seem neccessary! Don't you think the 49ers could have signed him for less than Aaron Rodgers and Manning? Did they just throw the money at him or did he command it? That blows my mind!!

I would take Robey over Brooks 10 out of 10 times. Past performance is the greatest indicator of future performance. Robey is limited, but, excels in what he can do. Brooks has proven over and over again to not be able to compete in this league AND not be able to stay healthy. Add that to he is from previous regime. Robey, 10 out of 10! Hands down! I don't disagree with you. I THINK we are on the same page?

I don't remember the exact situations. I agree with you regarding liking stats and exacts, unfortunately I don't have them regarding Robey. But, it was late in the year. It was not often. It was 1-3 times a game when he played a lot of downs and the oppositions knew he was going to play a lot of downs when we had 3 CBs in the game due to lack of depth usually when a man was in motion to gain the mismatch. I don't dislike Robey at all. I like him....but, just for certain situations. Size is not everything, but, when you are 5 to 9 inches shorter than the WR you are one on one with it is very tough for Robey to win the battles. Blitzing and covering the WR in the slot he is excellent. It is when he is covering the slot WR and they run motion or audible Robey and the Bills are at a disadvantage. Once again, sorry for not having facts and examples...I would prefer if I did too. I don't recall him ever losing his man either.

I love Robey. But, he can't play every down. When he did last year it allowed the opposition to get him one on one against a size mismatch. He is great as a situational and/or blitzing CB. He can't be our #3 CB. He can also fill in for injuries quite well more so during a game. When the opposition knows he will be playing a considerable amount, beside situational and blitzing play, that is when he gets in those tough matchups and gets burned.

Well said and funny!

Agreed, true and funny! Totally agree. I think Manuel will be better than fine. But, if not, we need to get an established veteran QB with our ready to win now team!

I just hope he is allowed to play in enough games to get 7 sacks!

So true. It just isn't right. To make the money on the front end and then after for suing how you made your money. You can't double dip! Funny! But, probably true!

Agreed. I like where your head is at!

I I agree with everything you said EXCEPT I don't think Searcy is a sure thing to make the roster. Not saying Searcy won't make the roster, but, I think it is far from determined already. Ladler could be a very good player for us. I do think he will make the roster. Also, Ladler thinks he will make our roster and that is why he signed in Buffalo.

QB - Jim Kelly 5 RB - Thomas/Davis 4 WR = James Lofton 3 TE - Reuben Gant 2 DE - Phil Hansen 1 DT - Pat Williams 2 LB - Bennett/Talley/Conlan 5 CB - Nate Clements 2 S - Jairus Byrd 3 $27 on the button! Pretty tough to beat that team!
