Yes...but like you say... looking forward to 2 years together. What happens if they lose OL starts more in line with the usual for most clubs? what's your confidence level in the OL bench? They correctly nursed Edwards - not a bunch of time-consuming deep pass patterns. AFAIK.

We are pretty lucky that 31 other teams didn't grab him before pick #219 in the 7th round. Five minutes' deliberation well spent...

May he expect pro bono legal representation to right this intolerable wrong?

Prepare to be disappointed if you feel that the government is going to visit this. For years, Mass. Sen Ted Kennedy defended Lynn, Mass. based GE against their years of PCB dumpings into the Hudson and other rivers, until taxpayers across the nation shared in the clean-up costs. Ted will do no less to protect Kraft and his asset...

The Bills are on thin ice if they suffer a spate of injuries to the OL. Because they have a 2nd year QB, for one. Edwards is the putative starter, and it has been a subject of endless debate about his physical skills. And the receiving corps. And the conservative coaching. And two-TE sets. And were it not for 2 TE sets and conservative play callls, what would have been Edwards' fate? Compare them to another 7 - 9 team. CIN. Their D was wiped out early on. They lost RT Willie Anderson for for 9 games. LT Levi Jones missed 1 game outright, 3 starts, and didn't become effective until mid-season. Starting 4th round C Eric Ghiacuic missed 4 starts. Add in lousy coaching. But they had a canny, talented vet at QB. An authentic blocking FB. A versatile G/T in 2nd round '06 pick Whitworth. An '04 4th rounder G/T Stacey Andrews who they franchised this year...and he needs to compete for a starting spot. The OL mish-mosh set a team record for fewest sacks, and they passed a lot more than BUF. There are two players on their OL bench that likely would start on other clubs. BUF has none of this. They don't have a top QB to compensate for line losses. They haven't taken OL in the mid or higher rounds since M. Williams and so like I say...they are on thin ice. You trust to luck if you don't tap the OL collegian talent except in the bottom of the draft. LT Peters defines the term "dumb luck"...

Yep...right you are. A small vote for Sam Adams. When he came to CIN, as usual for him he wasn't in game shape until after the 1st third of the season. But when he played, he still had that cat-quick move off the snap and drew double teams. I always remember how a poster here described him - "A pass-rushing linebacker who happens to be built like a rhino".

Certainly. Since they were 3rd from the bottom in pass attempts (which aided the low sack numbers along with the lack of deep pass plays) and AFAIK running numerous 2 TE + FB sets, along with not exactly ripping up the league in 3rd down conversions, they may as well continue their ways and not draft OLs until the bitter end of the draft. One OL pick in the 7th round should help them maintain their status quo - assuming the remarkable lack of OL injuries re-visits, this coming season...

It must have been made from the Fabric For the Ages... 4 years' exposure to sweat and salts, desquamated skin cells entering the weave and bacteria eating same, UV degradation, hot and cool cycling, flexing, and 600+ washings and dryings...

Happy Birthday! And a special thanks to Fez for the computer and A/V advice he provides to us.

Thank you...spelling corrections are always welcome!

So... ...you would be responsible for: Purchasing Personnel Training General stores IT Planning Maintenance. They forgot to include shining the General Manager's shoes. Which should be easy because it's doubtful they get very dirty, since it seems you would do everything and he does nothing other than telling you to make more money for the business.

Yep. The Dem Party machine in both States made a selfish grab for an expected prominence, hoping to bring a gravy train full of free dinners, trips etc. for themselves. What they did was to expose the joke perpetrated by the Democratic Party about voter disenfranchisement and voter fraud, and ended up showing the true colors of the Dem Party. The "Superdelegate" system came to light...i.e., to quote Orwell..."All pigs are equal, but some pigs are more equal than others". "The Party of The People"...

No 3rd rounders can sign 5 year contracts, QB or not...

Melon balls? Casaba? Honeydew? Canary? What...?

Long ago, in a Galaxy far away, I read electrical meters...they gave me free bus tokens and bus transfers. One day, you read Riverside. Next day, Sloan. Also one free flashlight. But just one. If you lost it or stole it, tough luck. Free D cells daily though, or a pack of matches to light your way - your choice.

There we go...another willing vanguard.

A Baker always gets a rise.

What...about...Cricket?

Nothing since 9-11-01. Successful screwing, so far...

pHuck you.

Pfft...it's the Democratic Party. They have "Superdelegates"...

Certainly NOT all...

Nervous Guy 'n me were given scripts for it, but decided not to take it. The company was recently was ordered to include more stringent cautions about it - suicides etc. - it acts on similar parts of the brain as anti-depressants - and there are certainly problems with them.
