Sen. John Blutarsky

You are my hero. WTG Lori.

Also, while I'm at it, do you have anything to contribute to the thread in terms of players or are you just going to pick at the suggestions of others that you admittedly haven't seen?

and if he gets past Miami we'll see him in September after Al Davis snags him in Oakland. Can you quantify what a Bill Parcells player is? I'm aware that he generally prefers biggish DEs but he also takes rangy DEs and makes them pass rushing OLB like LT, DeMarcus Ware, and Willie McGinest. IMO, a Bill Parcells player is a guy who plays hard, shows up for work and keeps his mouth shut. McDougle could have walked away from football at least three times and nobody would have thought less of him but he keeps coming back and working hard. I think Bill would respect that.

Nervous. I'll be waiting for the Roosevelt Leaks moment the screws us all year....

It's not that he didn't "get it" It's that he had possibly the worst luck of all time. 2003: he injured his ankle, knee and hip in the final pre-season game and missed 8 games 2004: missed one game with irregular heartbeat and 4.5 more with a sprained knee 2005: shot in the abdomen during a robbery a week before training camp, missed the entire season 2006: broke 2 ribs in practice, missed 3 weeks of the regular season, played in a rotation 2007: ruptured triceps tendon during training camp missed entire season. He's a guy who had enough talent to be a top 15 pick but has been completely star crossed. Mark my words if the Eagles cut him we'll see him in Miami twice this year.

I'd like a closer look...

Anyone else see that ad with MacLean's amg with "The Smartest Cities in Canada" Are there enough cities in Canada to have a real comparative article?

To be fair, talking about Youboty's performance is about todays game. I made a topic re: players on other teams you're watching to see if they get cut, no problems.

Mayle turned himself around there. my ACME is hiring...

The Youboty revelation confounds that. Do we have to keep 6 CB AND 6 WRs now? if so what position gets skimped? IMO at WR Jenkins is a lock due to ST gunnery CB I'm not too sure who they like or not. I think they like both the rooks but I dunno about James.

I've watched him and he's been a force, including tonight. He torched the RT, got hogtied, and flushed the QB into the other end who got the sack. Sack totals aren't everything.

I guess the question now isn't whether or not he makes the team, it's whether he's the nickel or dime back.

Maybe they're under the cammies?

Who is #26 and what has he done with Asthon Youboty?

Why wait, have the red tag hangin in his locker on the way back in a la "Major League"

We really need a sarcasm emoticon. But it would be good to boost sales overseas, more revenue for Ralphie. How's life below sea level these days? I hear the Netherlands are a lovely place to visit...

Dude, 53 PR yds against in a whole year...sick... Of course our offense didn't punt much back then either, but still.

So, if Gibran hamdan makes the team does that mean the Bills will become big on the West Bank? Will we see guys in Hamdan jerseys throwing rocks at Israeli soldiers?

Lotsa blitzing tonight by both squads, unusual.

He's making a statement...

I've got three from the Eagles and I will rank them by order of interest. 1. DE Jerome McDougle - Jerome was a former first round pick who has absolutely no luck at all. he got hurt as a rookie, got healthy, got hurt again, got healthy then got shot in an attempted carjacking in Miami (he was the victim, not the perp). He's healthy again this year and has been pass rushing like a man possessed. Before Victor Abiramiri got hurt McDougle was the 7th DE on the depth chart. At best he's 5th right now. They may not keep more than 4 and definetly won't keep more than 5. Normally he'd be a lock to make the team with the way he's playing but the Eagles D-Line is crowded and they drafted somebody to replace him, which brings me to... 2. DE Bryan Smith - Smith was a 3rd round pick intended to take McDougle's spot on the roster. McDougle's great performance has made the choice tougher. He's a 3rd round pick and fresh so you'd think he has the edge to make the team but it's hard to say at this point. One of them will be released and should be picked up immediately. In fact, I'd be surprised if either of these guys got past Miami on the waiver wire. It may be worthwhile to call Philly to see if they'd take a 7th rounder for the player so they don't cut him outright. it's possible the the Birds will keep both of these men and release Darren Howard but hat will cause a great deal of dead money for Philly and cut into DT depth since Howard rotates between the two spots. 3. RB/FB Tony Hunt - Hunt was a 3rd round pick last year but didn't play much. The Eagles converted him to FB this year after they were displeased with the FBs on the roster. Problem is he's not really a FB and doesn't block much. Is is very possible the Eagles moved him as a last ditch chance to keep him on the roster, they are also crowded at RB with Westbrook, Lorenzo Booker, Correll Buckhalter and right now Hunt is the 4th RB in the depth chart. The choice will come down to Hunt, Ryan Moats, or either of the two FBs already on the roster. Hunt is undersized at FB and does not return kicks. The traditional fullbacks block more and contribute on ST, Moats returns kicks. It's a tough call and he may stay, but if he stays the other FBs are gone and Reid goes small. If he goes he would do what we wanted Wright to do for us, except hold onto the ball while doing it.

If he's going to come in for week 1 I'd expect him to come in next Tuesday. He could theoretically walk in 24 hours and one minute before game time and force the Bills to do this, howver, that would really hurt any chance he had to recoup any of the money he's already been fined. That's a normal part of holdouts is to negotiate away all or part of the fines. If he forces our hand like that to earn a free game check I doubt the Bills will forgive the fines. They shouldn't anyway... if he comes in this weekend I'm fine with waiving the fines and calling it water under the bridge.

The NOAA 5 day track takes that thing straight to the Big Easy. Lets all hope it stays weak.

Well, with three QBs like Brady, Favre and Chadwick to fellate how would ESPN have time to cover all four teams?

Well, Jason Peters probably won't but honestly you never know who does read things in here. We got a least a few confirmed journalist lurkers about and if I were an agent I'd have someone on staff reading these things and trying to control the spin. Who knows if that's happening. Regardless, it made me feel better to write it that way and I think it made for a better post (despite the post midnight spelling).
