    Hope you come back and visit when he’s convicted/pleads guilty.

     

    Isn’t there UA board you can slither off to and pollute in the meantime?

    Of all the crimes to go on the limb for beating the hell out of a chick is not one I would. Ban him from the league

     

    Well, looks like the court of public opinion is WRONG AGAIN

     

    There is a reason why a lot of people let DUE PROCESS AND FACTS come out before publicly convicting them

     

    Reuben Foster is no saint, but people get ruined by this type of stuff very frequently. Often it ends up be nothing more than false accusations and libel.

    It also demeans the women who are actual victims of crime who are strong enough to come forward.

    well that sucks that she lied, I called the guy an animal after reading that he kicked the dog and hit her. If she's lying and she's admitting it, lock her up now because that is as bad or worse than actually being abused.  The damage to his reputation is irreparable.  it's like being accused of rape.   People never look at you the same again 

     

    Reuben Foster’s ex-girlfriend will testify that she lied to police about him

    The ex-girlfriend of 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster is prepared to testify under oath that she was lying when she told police that he assaulted her.

    That’s the word from attorney Stephanie Rickard, who told the Sacramento Bee that her client, Elissa Ennis, will appear in court on Thursday and testify that she was lying when she said Foster hit her.

    Ennis was injured when police arrived to take her statement, but she now says she suffered those injuries in a fight with another woman, not with Foster.

    It is unclear whether prosecutors will still attempt to pursue charges against Foster. He faces three felony charges, one for domestic violence, one for attempting to prevent Ennis from reporting a crime, and one for possessing an assault weapon. He could still face legal jeopardy for the assault weapon, even if prosecutors do not move forward on the two other charges.

    Meanwhile, Ennis could face charges for lying to police, although a legal analyst contacted by the Sacramento Bee said prosecutors are unlikely to pursue such charges.

     

    And there it is, ruin someone in the kangaroo court of social media as we have seen here, and walk away unscathed.

    What Do YOU Remember about Thurman Thomas?

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted · Edited by RocCityRoller

    One of the most patient runners I've ever seen. He had such a unique running style L Bell is the closest I can think of right now.

    PLays looked like slow motion, until you see that it ended 8 or 10 yards down field.

     

    Thurman avoided negative plays and almost always gained something. Rare to ever drop a pass. WR good hands.

    If teams could game planned to stop the run, he would do 60-100 yards of damage through the air, If they keyed on his short area catching, he would gash them on the ground.

     

    I remember consistent production. 4 years in a row led the NFL in yards from scrimmage, something not done before or since.

    There were lots of 5-10 yard runs, almost none longer than 50 though. Equally good inside or outside.

     

    I recall an MVP season in 1991

     

    Many years Thurman was in the top 3 in rushing with  game or two to go and had to sit the last game or two to prep for another playoff run, never won a rushing title, but could have won multiple

     

    Three games remind me of Thurman Thomas at his best

    Monday night against the Jets, he went off like a fire cracker 18 carries for 214 yards (11.4 ypc)

    Superbowl XXV against the Giants 15 carries for 135 (9 ypc), and 5 Rec for 55 yds

    and the 93 AFC Championship game against KC when he gashed them for 186 yards and three TDs

     

    He and Bruce Smith are still my favorite all-time Bills.

     

     

    Top 10 Boneheaded Moves of NFL offseason

    Bills have had bonehead off season if I've ever seen one:

     

    1) Signing Star who has underachieved for consecutive years now

    2) Overpaying Trent Murphy who has injury concerns and was suspended for PEFS

    3) Chris Ivory - really? 

    4) Not addressing Wide Receiver in a remotely impactful way

    5) Trading 2 second round picks for a statistically inferior prospect

    6) Leaving the draft with 3 picks in the first 3 rounds when they started with 6 and have a roster full of needs.

    No, it's not that we all love Zay, but at some point players are cooked.

     

    Dez, Decker, Maclin - all cooked. Stick a fork in them.

     

    This team is building for the future, not looking for other teams all-pros from 5 years ago.

    Josh Boyce, WR rumored to have a visit

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    Actually I think the WR we need to keep tabs on is Phillip Dorsett. 4.33 combine speed, 6.7 3 cone drill.

     

    Compared to John Brown. NE has a ton of WRs and Dorsett's best asset is deep speed. The Pats don't employ much of a true vertical game. I think he may be the odd man out.

    No offense to Decker/ Dez etc but I don't want any other team's golden oldies. I'd roll the dice with Dorsett if he becomes available.

    Overview

    Second-team All-ACC wide receiver in 2014. Ten of his 36 catches were for touchdowns and he averaged 24.2 yards per catch. Took part in 2015 Senior Bowl practices, but did not play in the game due to injury. In 2013, played in eight games and missed five games due to a partially torn MCL. Caught 13 passes for 272 yards and 2 touchdowns. In 2012, led Miami in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns. Had four games of 100-plus yards. Won a 5A Florida State Championship while at St. Thomas Aquinas High School.

     

    Pro Day Results


    40-yard dash: 4.29 and 4.27 seconds
    Vertical jump: 38 inches
    Broad jump: 10 feet, 9 inches
    Short shuttle: 4.03 seconds
    3-cone: 6.85 seconds

    Analysis

    Strengths

    Takes the top off the defense and throws it in the trash. Elite explosiveness. Gets to top speed quickly and is a seamless glider on crossing routes, leaving man-to-man defenses in his wake. Can work outside and from the slot. Elevates and attacks contested catches. Outstanding body control and can adjust to the ball in mid-air. Mind-boggling big-play production with half of his catches going for 25-plus yards in 2014. More than just a vertical-only receiver and has the blazing feet and stop-start to beat zone coverage for big plays.

    Weaknesses

    Had partial tear of MCL in 2013. Still raw in his routes, relying on pure speed. Inconsistent with his hand placement to catch and lets the ball get on top of him. Small frame and will have to withstand hits over the middle as a slot receiver.

    Draft Projection

    Rounds 1 or 2

    Sources Tell Us

    "I will guarantee he goes in the top 40 this year. In fact, I will be surprised if he doesn't go in the first. Elite speed and separation player." - NFC executive

    NFL Comparison

    John Brown

    Bottom Line

    Dorsett is an ascending prospect who has averaged more than 25 yards per catch since 2012. He can challenge teams vertically inside or outside and he has home-run potential after the catch as a slot receiver. With smaller wide receivers like T.Y. Hilton and Antonio Brown proving that small and fast can win in the NFL, Dorsett should be coveted by more than one team and has the potential to turn into a star in the NFL.

    Which position shall we add next in Free Agency

    Retirement of Cognito is a big loss.  He was the key to several of Shady's runs.  Between him and Wood, they paved the path for Shady.  And we haven't had a NFL caliber Right Tackle for a long time.  The OL is a mess and requires significant attention.  I am not saying their replacements are incapable...but they are unproven. 

     

    I have to respectfully disagree.

     

    With a new OC and more of a power blocking scheme I think Miller is back in play. He handled his benching professionally, I have to think that counts in McBeane's book. I think the change in scheme, being a good soldier last year, and his improvement from his rookie to 2nd year was measurable. I think Miller will do everything he can to regain a starter role. He is also entering the end of his rookie contract. I think Miller will give it everything he can.

     

    Teller is a mauler type prospect and the NFL is loaded with starting OGs drafted in rounds 4-7. I like Cogs a lot, but he was starting to show some decline in play.

    Ducasse actally graded out to average on PFF by year end. He is insurance in case Teller isn't ready or McBeane is not down with Miller.

     

    Bodine has been a 4 year starter at Center since he was drafted, for some pretty good Bengal offenses. He also has never missed a game. That also means he was McCarron's starting C. I think that was one of the more sneaky tactical moves by McBeane this off season. Groy is there to compete as well. Wood's absence the year prior was hardly noticed (surprised me) when Groy took over. The inside run game actually improved from what I recall.

     

    T is worrying. Glenn did play 5-6 games last year, but his injury definitely hurt his play. Dawkins did ok, but I'd like Buffalo to improve LT so Dawkins can slide to RT where he was drafted for. That might have to wait till next year. Get a good LT in the draft or with the big cap relief to protect our new QBs. No one is a Mills fan at RT, but there is Newhouse, who has started 70 games and is a swing tackle, to push him and add some depth. Lastly McDermott has been on the PS for a year or so, and is huge. Maybe stashing him on the PS will pay dividends, or at least add depth.

     

    A third starting calibre LB, or a WR with some speed seem bigger issues at the moment. Kaelin Clay, Rod Streater and Malachai Dupree will have to try to fill that role.

    I love people around the NFL speak of Buffalo as though the weather there late in the season is radically different than lots of other NFL cities.  It's not.

     

    We also don't play all the late season games at home.

     

    Weather doesn't really impact Bills football enough to even be a minor concern. 

     

     

     

    While I agree with you about snow/ blizzard conditions, the winds off of Lake Erie are a mess.

    Bills would have “strongly considered” Mason Rudolph at 22

    Wow this just shows this regime is completely clueless.

     

     

     

    Pittsburgh had a first round grade on Rudolph too.

    http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/04/29/steelers-ranked-mason-rudolph-alongside-first-round-quarterbacks/

    " They found they liked Rudolph so much that they placed a first-round grade on him, but when it came time to make their No. 1 pick they went with another guy with a first-round grade who filled a more pressing need: safety Terrell Edmunds. Rudolph wasn’t picked in the first round, and the Steelers believed it was prudent to fill their hole at wide receiver when their turn came around in the second round. When Rudolph wasn’t picked in the second round, either, and things moved into Round 3, the Steelers started to believe they had to find a way to capitalize on this unexpected opportunity." - Steelers.com
     

    Does Pittsburgh suck?

    How do they build, through the draft or fancy F/A signings?

     

    This regime has gotten the salary cap back in line next year, got rid of malcontents and found a way to motivate a lackluster roster into breaking a 17 year playoff hiatus

     

    but they 'are clueless' according to you

    Kid has the right attitude:

    " "I want to say thank you to the Bills organization for making the leap and putting their faith in me,” said Allen. “I'm going make them look like they are the smartest people out there."

     

    You do that, kid! 

     

    Sounds like you're coming around. :) Look I go overboard with the comparisons sometimes, but I want our guys to succeed.

    The analytics don't look good, and I'm a six sigma guy, but hey that's why games are played on Sunday.

     

    I like seeing folks at least be willing to change their original opinion and have an open mind to give these rookies a chance.

    I do see a lot more of that here than the old BBMB, it's a welcome and refreshing change
