I'd rather have a goose. Both illegal, migratory animals. But one is good for Christmas dinner.

You know dwarves and geese are in cahoots? Keep it up.

What area? You close (within a couple hundred miles) of a AF/Navy base? Probably some new jet.

I wouldn't know. I'm normal, well sort of.

Yeah you would think he'd know what syndrome he has. Afterall, he woke up with it.

Oh yes it is. It was a direct order and left the cops with no leeway.

He is in Maryland, where the just outgoing mayor and now governer has a 100% arrest policy. Meaning if the police question whether to arrest someone or not the policy if to bring them in and let the supervisors and DA sort it out.

Nagurski, Van Buren, Motley?????? Too early on Tomlinson. I love Thurman and think Faulk is great but neither is top 10, not even sure Sanders is either. Payton, Sayers, Brown, Simpson, Nagurski, Van Buren, Motley, Campbell are easily the top 8. After that Come some of these other guys, and can be debated.

Unitas was mentioned in first post. But agreed on the second.

Graham, Baugh, Tittle?

Wow, how do you guys forget Lanier, Hendricks or Ham?

This list is a joke right? How can you not have Biletnikoff or Alworth? What about Ray Berry? Other then Rice, who I was just making you guys think on, because other then the media telling you he was great most of you have never even seen play, or have no idea why he was great other than stats. The next 4 should be Huston, Biletnikoff, Berry and Alworth. Then Largent. BTW it isn't even close.

Yeah like he would have done anything if he wasn't in a pass happy offence, with the best QB of all time. He had average hands, no speed and was undersized. Thanks but unless I am running that type of offence have a great RB, RB, good other receiver and the greatest Qb, I'll pass.

Who is #1? Steve Largent? Fred Biletnikoff?

Oh I am not forgiving the DL, especially the DT's. The problem they had was they were not tying up OLinemen consistantly. To a point you can have one shoot and disrupt, but the other has to be a stay at home, space taker. None was doing that.

I agree to a point, but part of the LB's job is to read the offensive blocking and fill the gaps. Even if a OLinemen is there which there will be in a lot of situations, because well there are 5 OL plus a TE and FB, and only 4 DL. Therefore some will always be uncovered. The ability for the LB to in effect be another quicker DL is apparant and the ability to read that gap, step into it and make the tackle in that gap at the LOS is important. Rarely does a DL make the tackle, but their job is to control the gaps for the LB who has to make the play. A lot of our running defense problems last year BTW were not even up the middle, but rather poor angles by the OLB's and the Safeties. The coaches even mentioned that they were not getting outside and funneling things back to the middle. Remember the 50+ long run by the Lions Jones. Granted the DT's had issues but a lot more was caused by poor LB play. Including Fletch and Spikes. Ellison impressed me a lot, but it was painful watching him really attck and get tossed a few times because he weighs about 220 soaking wet. He needs to gain some weight, but his instincts and ability to attck the holes were pretty damn good if you asked me.

I think we all agree with that. But unlike the outside LB's who rarely get a OLinemen on them the MLB typically will have one of the guards or the FB get a hat on him. The MLB will always have to shed a block to make the play. Speed while helpful especially in covering the underneath TE and slot WR's that do slant patterns, the biggest asset for a MLB is the ability to fill the gap and make the tackle, by getting through the blocks. 70% of the run plays will be between the tackles where the MLB has to be in on the play.

http://www.buffalobills.com/blog/index.jsp?post_id=909 Brown makes an assumption that Fletch is the only one and I can tell you that about the only one that impressed me about attacking the LOS was Ellison. The rest were reacting rather than attacking.

I don't hate Crowell. I just don't think he is a good every down backer. I see too many mistakes. He has good speed, but poor tackling at point of attck skills. No ability to shed blocks that get to his level. His speed does make up for some and he is able to recover a lot and make tackles past the LOS, but 5-7 yard gains everytime get a little old. For a good write-up on stats especially defensive, read the following. The tackling stats are all fake. They are whatever anyone feels like making up and putting down. As the story puts out, a lot of times to help a player get more recognition for post-season honors. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2003/foot...e.statistic.ap/

Thompson plays for Cleveland and has put up okay numbers as a part time starter. But stats don't tell the whole story. Crow isn't a very good backer, and I seriously don't he starts in the middle. In fact, before Fletch left I wouldn't have been surprised if he was a nickle backer by next year. He still maybe, he is too light in the seat, has issues getting off blocks, and takes bad angles. He does have good pass coverage skills, good speed however.

That's a nice little sotry, but let's not convict the police until the facts come out and not the media and parents "view" of the events. Is it quite possible that he was trying to run, and while calming the parents the cops decided that cuffing him might keep him in place and not let him endanger himself by running off into the streets. Afterall he is only 7 , gotta look out for his welfare. Could you imagine the story if the kid had run away into traffic and been hit? Yup, I'll wait for the actual facts to come out. There are always two sides to the story. Let's hear them both.

And a Bills Fan message board of their choice. Rumor is Pats are negotiating for the one with all the pictures, graphics, etc.. that will cause an epileptic fit if used too much.

Please keep your homo tendancies to yourself. They are immoral and this board has a don't ask, don't tell policy.

Not all are bad. The residents of Antarctica are pretty good. What is it they are called again? Penguins. See Penguins are good people, just ask Tom, he loves Penguins.
