that may true but as long as he owns that card he is still more valuable then the next guy.
He won't be so valuable if I were an opposing OC. I would plot to plant him into the turf and therefore remove him as an irritant the moment I detected that he was getting special dispensations.

I thought we went over this already? The Jets D shut down everyone. All those numbers for all those recievers suck. This was not because of Revis alone, but rather the Jets D being very good all over. Revis didnt cover the #1 guy every single play. Revis was coving some of those #2s, 3s, or the TE when they caught passes. Revis wasnt covering the #1 when they caught some of those passes they did. Those stats prove nothing.
Thats like saying "Thomas jones ran for 200 yards vrs the Bills, and since Poz is teh MLB its his job to stop the run, so man Poz must SUCK!"
Revis was given a "get out of jail free" card by the refs, in the NYJ games I saw...

Is he dying? Folks only appreciate poets after they are planted.
And no, I am not going to give this fellow any free material.
I smell a con.

I think 2-14 is realistic...However, I expect a lot of close games.....2-14 doesn't necessarily mean 14 blow outs....But, I'll be shocked if we don't finish in the basement of the division...

I have some experience with that and many on avsforums say that's a piece of crap.
The Zenith or Insignia converter boxes (they are the same design with different labels) have given me good results in several installs. I got the Insignia at Best Buy. Don't know if they're available anymore. At full price ($80 at the time of the switch), you're creeping into a cost-benefit decision of just getting a new HD teevee with a built-in tuner.
I have a Zenith DTT900 - I bought it when those coupons came out (as it turns out, what I bought for $40 is now around $30 last time I looked).
Re outdoor antennas mounted on structures - be sure to properly ground them:
-
7pm NIGHT practice open to public.
If they cancelled the practice - I'm surprised. If the heat is truly oppressive, you can work on OL timing, snap counts, DL positioning, defensive backfield positioning, etc. Not a lot of running needed - but necessary education.

Adam Schefter and Aaron Maybinot on Twitter.
Schefter is the most recent one to be plunked into the TSW Cauldron of Boiling Oil.
The Mayflower is one of the permanent residents.

That's why character is so important in the evaluation.
As in CIN's #6 overall in '09 - T Andre Smith. Owner Mikie thought he was getting another one of his bargains. Held out 30 days, and broke his foot the 2nd day he practiced.
He's on the active PUP...foot/conditioning. Current weight is 370 lb.

As for the over-the-air signal of local channels, you will need a digital converter like this. You can probably find one in your local Walmart/Target/RadioShack.
I bought one a while back...my cable dies 2 or 3 times a year. I also purchased one of those 9 buck antennas. They both work well enough.

$34 million with $21 guaranteed gets it done.
If somebody gave me $21M guaranteed, I'd pull up lame and have the checks forwarded to the Caymen Islands.

I didn't say he had to.
But if you criticize someone for giving bad evidence, and your reason for calling it bad evidence seems limited to the fact that you don't like what it shows, and then you yourself give no evidence at all ... you'd better be ready to be called hypocritical or lazy or uninformed or all three.
I'll take door #3.

At the same time, loudmouth Rex Ryan is telling the media that if Revis reports on September 11, he'll be starting on September 12.
Nice job, coach. I don't care if the statement is true -- it's idiotic for Ryan to make it publicly.
Indeed.

Now that Suh has agreed to terms I would be surprised if Spiller is not signed by the end of the week.
If he is not signed by that time, then there is a reason to be concerned.
At first blush, one would think that grabbing the upfront cash is the thing. However, the guaranteed cash gets slashed at, to be handed over to the protected class (fed-state-local gov't workers).
My initial posts about these contracts were that one should grab the upfront $. Thinking more, I have little doubt but that guaranteed cash is considered as constructive receipt and that these kids will see half of that disappear via a 1040 ES form. Unless they want all of their assets frozen and get tossed into jail.

I tried to find the stats for three and outs and couldn't but they were the worst in overall 3rd down conversions which essentially causes the same problem, namely a defense that is always on the field because the offense can't sustain drives. If the Bills were to move to even the middle of the pack for this stat the defense would be able to rest and still be able to play in the fourth quarter as opposed to being completely gassed and run over.

Thanks for the link! Sad..but there it is.

One thing is clear to me---while the jets have been angling for a Super Bowl run this year, there are a lot of moving parts that could crash down around them. Charismatic coach (and there is a fine line between charisma and crazy), talent-laden team, many new faces, some old jets locker room heros shown the door... This is the type of problem than can impact the team negatively and that's allllllll good for Buffalo fans.
Last season, the Jets got into the playoffs thanks to one club that traditionally lays down once they have their spot sewn up, and a win against a team dripping with defensive injuries and an idiot HC and OC and a touted qb that has stunk for various reasons, and got to face the same jerks in the 1st round.

I largely agree with this post. But there are a few nuances I see differently.
In a 3-4, there are four highly critical positions: NT, RDE, pass rushing OLB, and #1 CB. The NT is supposed to use up two defenders while being an anchor against the run. You want a guy like Ted Washington or Pat Williams there. The RDE is also supposed to be solid against the run, while being a source of a good pass rush. Bruce Smith is obviously the dream RDE, but if you can't have him you at least need a Marcellus Wiley. The perfect pass rushing OLB is a guy like Bryce Paup--a guy who knows how to get to the QB, but who also gives you versatility to stop the run or drop into coverage. A solid overall football player.
The fourth player you need for a 3-4 to be successful is a good shutdown CB. An Antoine Winfield. With a guy like that, you can put him in one-on-one coverage against the opponent's best WR, and know that you'll be okay. The #1 WR will probably catch a pass here or there, but over the course of the game he's going to be kept under control. The fact that you can get away with covering their #1 with just one guy frees up an extra guy for your defense.
One of the main themes of the 3-4 is to free up as many players as possible. Each defender thus freed up becomes a source of unpredictability. You can rush your three down linemen + one LB, for example. Even with that, the other team won't necessarily know which LB is going to rush. So that's unpredictability right there, even without blitzing! But if you can add in a second rushing LB, that will make your pass rush even tougher for the other team's offense to handle. A shutdown CB gives you the flexibility to rush that extra man, instead of having to use that defender to double cover the other team's #1 WR.
It's always a roll of the dice...

Compounded by the team's seemingly endless rash of injuries (especially on defense), the Bills had a dreadful time stopping the run against the league's best rushing teams. But the whole point of this exercise was to show that the Bills had a tough road a hoe in defending against the run, based on their opponents. While it might be useless trying to account for the unique combination injuries, bad coaching, and poor play, what can be determined is that the Bills had to play against tough run offenses.
Conclusion? The Bills certainly performed poorly as a unit defending against the run, but perhaps the Bills weren't as bad in this category as it appears, insofar as they played quality rushing teams. And while nobody's dancing in the streets over the Bills' defense this year, hopefully their opponents won't turn out to be quite so difficult in the aggregate as rushing teams.
Stats are stats, etc. IIRC, they "led" the league on 3rd down rush yards allowed - something like 5.6 ypc. Run or pass, the opposition held the ball against them when it mattered.

Better than no evidence. Like for example, this post.
The poster you reference need not respond to a snap of your fingers and spend time digging about...
Revis is a decent cb, but IMO was given a lot of latitude in the games I viewed.
The NFL has a pecuniary interest in promoting "stars."
I think he's being stupid, or easily led. There's already a lot of $ on his table, and NYJ will sweeten things. Given the uncertainty surrounding next season, he and his handlers want to toss the dice and go for the throat. Sounds like all-or-nothing.

We all know that drafting a QB in the top 10 costs a team a ton of money, especially upfront money. We know that are owner isn't the most free-spending owner in the world. We also know that there will be a new CBA come hell or high water, that will adjust rookie salaries.
Could it be that the Bills are waiting for the new rookie cap in order to go get their QB? Just a thought I had, knowing what we know.
BTW 5-11 this year... oh well
Plausible.

No such thing as a shutdown corner? Check last year's statlines for the guys Revis covered:
Were I a ref, he'd garner a flurry of flags.

Quote from the article: "He's sharp book-wise."
He freakin' ought to be.
Yes. He's on trial, awaiting his metamorphosis.

Revis situation is ugly

It gets done. If you watch CIN (not recommended), you will see how they go after Polamalu and Lewis. Polamalu leads with his head and gets smashed. Cedric Benson knocked him silly last season. Lewis is smarter, but he usually ends up committing a gratuitous personal foul late in the game., e.g:

That thing kept CIN alive for an eventual win.
I'm betting that next time they face Revis, he will be on the hit parade.
