Happy Days Lois & Clark

According to Bills Daily Ron Edwards had only a 1 year deal in 2004 http://www.billsdaily.com/frontoffice/ Where did you see that he is signed in 2005?

I think that on 4th and long teams know to test Nate Clements He got beat in the Jacksonville game because he would not knock the ball down He got beat again today on a 4th and long for a TD pass to B. Johnson. Although I must say he played a very solid game outside of that.

BLEDSOE CANNOT WIN ON THE ROAD

Travis Henry is a proven player who is young and is a hard worker. Some team (who needs a running back) should want a player of his caliber over some unknown rookie There is a chace he could go for a late 1st rounder but I would guess more likely a 2nd rounder because many teams already have quality starters.

I wonde if the Bills will resign Edwards and how much it would cost them to retain him. I also wonder if Edwards is playing so well because he will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season or if he has finally emerged as a quality player.

I certainly would not trust him on the road again at all. He seems to be an adequet player at home but on the road he is downright aweful. I would play Matthews or Losman against the Pats in 2 weeks over Bledsoe

Special teams really won the game for the Bills Brian Moorman was excellent kicking into the wind Good blocking and good returns in the kickoff and punt game Good call on the fake handoff on a return Even Lindell made all his kicks, although his kickoffs leave much to be desired. Good returns from Nate Clements and Terrance Mcgee GO BILLS

He gave up a 1st rounder. JP was a 1st rounder. He used a 2nd rounder to get JP in the system a year earlier. A top 5 pick would kill the Bills against the cap JP was pick 21 & will cost the Bills much less agaist the cap . The question is how good will JP be? Is he worth what the Bills gave up?

How many playoff games did he win as head coach?

Right now educated options would be Elton Brown OG 6-5, 335 Virginia Anttaj Hawthorne DT 6-3, 310 Wisconsin Orien Harris DT 6-4, 300 Miami Alex Barron OT 6-6, 310 Florida State Marcus McNeill OT 6-8, 340 Auburn Michael Munoz OT 6-5, 315 Tennessee David Baas OG 6-5, 310 Michigan Jammal Brown OT 6-6, 315 Oklahoma Andrew Whitworth OT 6-6, 325 LSU Logan Mankins Sr. OT Fres. St. - Kiper projects him at #24 Tom Donahoe mostly does not like to draft players from the state of Florida so we can pretty much rule those guys out Althogh I think getting an offensive lineman is more important, I also would not be too suprised if he went with a CB since Nate Clements contract is up after the 2005 seaeson There is still a possibility the Bills could get a 2nd rounder for Henry. K Mike Nugent could very well be there for the Bills in the 3rd round http://www.gbnreport.com/2005top100.htm

By Len Pasquarelli ESPN.com On another contract front involving a high-profile quarterback, ESPN.com has obtained the figures for the new three-year deal signed by Drew Bledsoe of Buffalo last week, and they show that the team realized a 2004 salary cap savings of $4.18 million by reworking the pact. The three-year contract is worth $18.5 million and drops Bledsoe's cap charge for 2004 from $8.33 million to a much more palatable $4.147 million. Bledsoe, who is coming off the worst season of his career, received a $6.5 million signing bonus. His base salaries will be $2.25 million (for 2004), $3.3 million (2005) and $4.35 million (2006). There are roster bonuses of $1.05 million each for 2005 and 2006. The salary cap charge will rise to $6.5 million for '05 and to $8.316 million for '06, but those are still far less than the cap charges for those seasons under the old contract. As noted here in the past, Bledsoe was due an option bonus of $7 million by Nov. 1 of this year to trigger the 2005-2007 segment of the contract he originally signed with the New England Patriots in 2001. Had the Bills agreed to pay that option bonus, Bledsoe would have been compensated in 2004 to the tune of $13 million and would have earned $25.5 million 2004-2006. But it is very doubtful, given his 2003 performance, that the Bills organization would have made such a huge commitment. Instead, the club likely would not have made the $7 million option payment in November and Bledsoe would have become an unrestricted free agent next spring. That fate, as players like Kerry Collins and Kurt Warner might attest, isn't nearly as attractive as it once might have been. So Bledsoe and the Bills made a mutually beneficial move. Bledsoe will still earn $8.75 million this year, hardly chump change, and the Bills get to keep the 11-year veteran around, probably for at least two more seasons, to help tutor heir apparent J.P. Losman. As horrible as Bledsoe played in 2003, I certainly would have to say that Donahoe made a mistake with the contract extension. I'm not saying that I totally disagreed at the time of giving Bledsoe an extension but I felt the #'s were too high. I also liked Anthony Weaver instead of Josh Reed with that 2nd round pick. Although many mock drafts had Josh Reed going in the first round, many mock drafts also had Weaver going in the first round too. In hindsight it was an extremely bad draft for Donahoe. http://www.gbnreport.com/2002draft.htm

To my knowledge Donahoe was willing to wait on the trade to get Drew Bledoe to get him for possibly less than the 1st rounder then Ralph Wilson told Donahoe to go ahead and giove up the 1st rounder to get the deal done.

GOOD STUFF CajunBillsBacker The Awards Tulane quarterback J.P. Losman collected a host of awards following his senior season with the Green Wave. The California native earned Second Team All-Conference USA honors as well as Honorable Mention All-Louisiana recognition. In addition, Losman was one of seven finalists for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award given to the top senior quarterback. The Record Book Losman set the Tulane career record for lowest interception percentage (INTs per attempt) with a mark of 2.73 (27 INTs in 987 attempts). He finished his career ranked in the Top 10 in 18 categories, including third in TD passes (60), completions (570) and passing efficiency (129.81). In addition, he ranks in the top four on 13 different lists after just two seasons as a full-time starter. He also ranks in the Top 10 all-time in Conference USA in 10 different passing and total offense categories. The Stats Losman completed 251-of-422 passes for 3,077 yards and 33 touchdowns as a senior. He led Conference USA in passing and touchdown passes and his 33 touchdown strikes are the second-highest total in Tulane history. It was just the third 3,000-yard passing season in Green Wave history. In each of the Wave's 12 games, he threw at least one TD pass. Seven on 7: Seven Quick Notes on #7 1) Rated as one of top quarterbacks for the 2004 NFL Draft. 2) Finished his career ranked in the Top 10 at Tulane in 18 categories. 3) Set the Tulane record for lowest interception percentage. 4) One of the nation's top senior quarterbacks who has been named one of seven finalists the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award. 5) Among the top 10 in the nation with 33 touchdown passes. 6) Completed 59.5 percent of his throws (251-of-422). 7) Put on a fourth-quarter clinic vs. Mississippi State to bring Tulane back from a 28-14 deficit. Completed 13-of-17 passes for 146 yards with two TD passes in the last 8:22 of the game and finished the game hitting 29-of-47 passes for 349 yards, four TDs and no INTs. Going Deep J.P. Losman was successful with the long ball in 2003, completing passes of 50 yards or more in five different games. In the season finale against East Carolina, he hit Chris Bush in stride for a career-long 87-yard touchdown pass, the second-longest completion in Tulane history and the fourth-longest in Conference USA history. J.P. in Draft Ratings Losman has garnered plenty of preseason attention of his own as he has been rated at the top of the NFL's scouting service rankings for senior players. Losman and Ole Miss quarterback Eli Manning are projected as the top two senior quarterbacks in the nation. Last summer, Losman was featured in an article in ESPN The Magazine. 7-11 While Mewelde Moore and Roydell Williams join Losman as the "stars" in the Tulane lineup, Losman had no qualms delivering passes to other players. In 2003, #7 has completed passes to 14 different players. Williams led the way with 66 receptions while Moore came out of the backfield for 39 catches. In addition, Losman found nine different players for touchdowns. Williams registered a team-best nine, followed by Chris Bush with eight and Tristan Smith with five. Moore caught four TDs while Bubba Terranova collected three. Nick Narcisse had a pair of TD receptions, while Carl Davis, Jerome Landry and Fred Smith have caught one. Back-to-Back-to-Back-to-Back Quarterback J.P. Losman joined his predecessors, Patrick Ramsey and Shaun King, as the only TU players to record back-to-back 300-yard passing days in the first two games of the season and then added to the streak with 300 yards in each of the next two games. Losman is the first player to accomplish the feat in the first four games of a season. The record for consecutive 300-yard games is five by Ramsey between Sept. 11 and Oct. 16, 1999. Practically New An impressive aspect of Losman's impressive statistics in 2003 was the fact that he did it with a very young offensive line. For most of the season, Tulane has started an O-line composed of four sophomores and a redshirt freshman in Derek Rogers at right tackle. All told, the five had just 26 starts between them entering the season. Rogers, center Joe Traina and guard Donald Madlock had not started games prior to 2003. Guard Matt Traina (twin of Joe) and tackle Chris McGee both have started 25 consecutive games dating back to the first game of last year.

Let's hope a couple teams take his defensive coordinators and makes them head coaches

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/...yers/47584.html J.P. LOSMAN Position: QB Class: Sr School: Tulane Conference: C-USA Ht., Wt.: 6'2½, 224 40 Time: 4.71 Grade: 4.03 Selected by Buffalo Bills Round 1, pick 22 (22 overall) BIO: Second-team all-conference selection in '03 after completing 59.5 percent/3,077/33/14. Replaced Patrick Ramsey the prior season and passed for 57.4 percent/2,468/19/10. Had a solid Combine and displayed some of the best long-passing skills. POSITIVES: Nice-sized athletic passer with an NFL arm. Quickly sets up in the pocket, has a short, quick delivery and the pass explodes from his hand. Patient, buys time in the pocket and a tough passer that takes a hit in order to get the throw off. Senses pressure, gets outside tackle and easily eludes the rush, making the throw on the move. Looks off the safety and goes to secondary targets, not forcing the issue or making bad choices. Challenges the vertical game and at the same time makes all the throws. Zips the outs into tight coverage, drives the ball downfield, yet also puts touch on passes when required. Makes plays with his legs and has an aggressive running style when he takes off from the pocket. NEGATIVES: Throws flat footed at times and as a result will be high of a target. Too often relies on his strong arm to make the play. Holds the ball too long in the pocket and takes unnecessary sacks. ANALYSIS: A confident quarterback with the tools to back it up, Losman is a physically gifted passer with the ability to play in multiple offensive schemes. Offering a good upside for the next level, he will eventually be a solid productive quarterback in the NFL.

http://www.tsn.ca/nfl/news_story.asp?id=102778 from article ``We're concerned about the growing disparity between the haves and the have-nots,'' Upshaw said, a concern voiced in a different context by owners such as Dan Rooney of Pittsburgh, Ralph Wilson of Buffalo and Jim Irsay of Indianapolis. ``And we're concerned that a lot of revenue that should go to players is not being included in the pool.''

It's political My thoughts are We can't play Matthews because the time and money Wilson, Donahoe, and the coaching staff had put into Bledsoe.
