Literally? I'm holding you to that.

You know what's sad? If someone told me this was really Coy Wire, I wouldn't be shocked.

You're too new to be making smartass comments

According to most sites I see (tsn.ca is the one I use the most), the top DT available right now is none other than...... Sam Adams And honestly, i'd much rather have him back than anyone else available right now. He had problems with Mularkey and ran his mouth off, but he got a raw deal last year. I can't believe they kept benching him. I wish we could bring him back

If we hadn't taken Tripplett to be our smaller, penetrating DT; then i'd say we'd take Bunkley. But since we're looking for the big, run-stuffing guy; it would be Ngata. Bunkley's not even 300 last time I checked.

Not even close! Grady Jackson has been an absolute force for Green Bay. He is the epitome of what we're looking for. He's a freaking wall. The reason he wasn't re-signed was because he demanded huge amounts of money. At this point, he's the best option out there if you want a DT.

I've been quietly saying this for a long time now. But saying the Bills should take Vince Young is like saying you're a baby-killer around these parts or something. I agree completely with everything that was said. We're in a complete rebuilding mode. If Ralph or Marv don't like J.P. (like i've thought all along) than now is the time to get the new QB of the future. We'd just be wasting time putting in someone that no one is high on. Maybe that's why they've been stringing Moulds along. Although Moulds complains about young QB's, I have a feeling he wouldn't have a problem with a "big name" like Matt Leinart or especially Vince Young. The way I see it going is this: 1.) Houston - Reggie Bush 2.) New Orleans - Mario Williams 3.) Tennessee - Leinart/Cutler/Young 4.) New York - D'Brickashaw Ferguson (they resigned Chad and will most likely get Ramsay) 5.) Green Bay - A.J. Hawk 6.) San Francisco - Vernon Davis (Huff or Ngata could be it as well, but i'm 75% on Davis) 7.) Oakland - Leinart/Cutler/Young 8.) Buffalo - If we're picking a QB, in a perfect world; someone would pick Cutler before us. Unlike everyone else, I feel Cutler may be good; but nowhere's near the hype he's being given. I think this QB draft is eerily similiar to the 2004 Draft. There's the #1 guy (Manning - Leinart), then there's a guy who came out of nowhere with monster hype (Rivers - Cutler), and then there's somebody who has a world of talent who unfairly drops because of silly question marks (Roethlisberger - Young). Jumping ahead of Oakland wouldn't cost much of anything either if we really wanted one of them. The bottom line is if Marv and Ralph aren't high on Losman and we address the line's in FA (one more DT and an OL or two), then we'd be dumb to pass on Leinart or Young if Ferguson and Williams are gone. Especially if the pick is Huff.

I started thinking about the Moulds' situation today. Why haven't we released him yet if he wants his money or he wants out? Maybe we're waiting for the draft. Maybe we're trying to see if we can get a replacment for him and if we can't, we'll pay him. But this is a pretty poor WR draft. It was then that I realized that this draft's best TE could also be it's best WR. Vernon Davis has been described as a WR trapped in a TE's body and not a great blocker for a TE. But what if we put him at WR? Maybe we could get him to drop some weight (dear god, do you think he could get faster?!) and switch positions. Then I started thinking, maybe he could be an H-Back. The only true H-Back I could think of in the NFL was Chris Cooley. He played that position and took all the glory while they had a "Starting" TE do all the blocking. That man was Robert Royal, who as we all know is a Buffalo Bill. Perhaps that's why Marv wanted him so badly. Royal knows how to play in such a system. Perhaps it's all for naught as I see Davis possibly being gone before we pick. But with us seemingly trying to fill most of our line holes in FA, could he be the player we're shooting for? And could we just be sitting on Moulds in case we can't get him? In my opinion, that's what's going on here.

I like Flanagan, but I think he's going to retire. I also like Chris Hope, but he's a FS and not a SS. I actually agree with you. But i'm probably the only one. So you might not want to say his name too loud around here. Honestly, I think we're in the perfect position to give him a shot. What could he possibly screw up? Our chemistry? What chemistry? Our QB? What QB? I think whatever team gets him will get a vastly different player. Because unlike Phili, he knows this is probably his last chance.

Personally i'd like to see Buffalo talk to the following men in no particular order: OT Tom Ashworth (New England) DT Rocky Bernard (Seattle) OT Jon Runyan (Philidelphia) DE Robert Mathis (Indianapolis) OG Toniu Fonoti (Minnesota) OG Stephen Neal (New England) SS Tank Williams (Tennessee) C Jeff Mitchell (Carolina) Of that list, Tank Williams and Rocky Bernard are at the top. But perhaps they have too much of the "i've heard of him!" stigma attatched for our new look Bills to go after.

Cardinals | Team would likely match any offer Wells receives Wed, 15 Mar 2006 09:26:47 -0800 Kent Somers, of the Arizona Republic, reports the Arizona Cardinals would likely match any offer restricted free agent OG Reggie Wells (Cardinals) receives, unless another team offers him an outrageous contract. The Cardinals are currently $14 million under the salary cap, making it hard for a team to structure a deal the Cardinals can't match. If we offer him an outrageous contract, i'll flip out. Some people are worth it, but I doubt an unproven Cardinal OG coming off a major ankle injury is.

EXACTLY! I could easily see Marv at a press conference smiling with T.O. and saying, "I met this young man and he was a tremendous character. He made some mistakes but he assures me that he's ready to play". I feel that we're in a perfect position for him. If he does screw up again, what will happen? We're already screwed. Denying us would just screw him more.

What would he kill? This team is being tore up from the floor up.

I realize i'm asking for trouble by even bringing this up, but could it? I mean both Owens and Moulds are players that should have been released by now. Each team will need a replacement at WR after their departures. Now with Givens being signed, there isn't really anyone left on the market. I know Marv is looking for "character" guys, but he's also not stupid. Whatever team gets Owens is going to get a vastly different player. He knows that this is his last chance. If he messes up on his next team, no one will want to spend any money on him at all. I think it's a definite possibility. Now i'll hang up and get flamed worse than the high school star, i'm sure.

I also think he has some trade value. But not much. Team's that are actively shopping players like Phili and their DT would look at Moulds i'm sure. Basically what i'm saying is that if there are teams looking to get rid of players like us, I could see us swapping.

I agree with you. I'm not a huge fan of Villarial either. But he'll have to do for now. He isn't great, but he's not terrible either. Jauron has some history of coaching him when he was a very good lineman. Maybe he can help him out. I REALLY want Ashworth. So I hope they chase him.

I wouldn't trade Moulds and a 2nd for Schaub. But Moulds for Schaub straight up? You'd have to be downright retarded not to do it. Schaub has showed many to be a guy who has a lot of potential. Unlike Losman, Schaub has actually CONSISTENTLY played well when giving the opportunity. I'm not giving up on Losman, but we don't know what we have in him. If Losman falls on his face this season, we need to let him go. We definitely should go after another QB for insurance. Schaub would fit the bill because he wouldn't be someone like Brees that MUST start. If we are going to release him anyways, why wouldn't we entertain a trade like that if it was available?

That's because the plan has been to trade Moulds for Terrell Owens all along. Why else do you think both teams and players have been taking so long?

I don't want to sound like those guys who go crazy if we don't sign a player everyday. But it was good to see Marv start grabbing people right off the bat on Saturday. But it's been REAL quiet since then. Which would be fine normally, but this year's free agency is happening EXTREMELY fast unlike last season. Everytime I turn around, top FA's are getting signed. We really need to pick things up again. One of the FA's that i'd like to see Buffalo go after is New England's RT Tom Ashworth. Now I haven't heard a lot of people talk about him and honestly with the way FA is going he might have signed with another team or resigned with the Pats without me even noticing. But if he is still available, he'd be the perfect fit for the Bills. He's a young, hungry, "character guy" who was solid in NE and just seems to be getting better over time (not to mention, one of the more recognizable guys on the Pats OL/Brady commercials lol). He would fill a need and wouldn't be a huge name demanding huge money like some of the other guys out there. I also think we should pursue Kevin Mawae like reports indicated earlier. He's one of the top Center's in the NFL. His only real concern is age. Which is fine because we just need a quick fix until we know if Duke Preston can be our Center or not. It would be far too dangerous for us to just throw Preston into a line that is shaky already. If we could get them both, our line would be substantially upgraded at a fairly reasonable price looking a little something like this: LT - Jason Peters LG - Mike Gandy C - Kevin Mawae RG - Chris Villarial RT - Tom Ashworth To me, Ashworth, Mawae, and Rocky Bernard would be the guys I really hope we can sign before FA ends. I would also be happy with Ryan Pickett or Grady Jackson. If we had money left after them (which we probably would after letting Moulds go), i'd go after Tank Williams as well. What would you guys do?

I second that. As someone who has battled depression at a young age (and am still on anti-depressents) I know how tough it can be. I also know it takes a real man to admit to anyone that they need help and have problems. To do what he did in the fashion he did it is extraordinary. Good for him x 100.

That guy's a douchebag.

DAMN! He's who I wanted to replace Eric. Oh well, looks like we'll be going with Evans, Davis, and Parrish.

Kill yourself. Wait, maybe that was a little harsh. How about this, go away and never come back. Then kill yourself.

Seriously, how can people complain? Larry Tripplett is on the verge of being a premier DT in this league. He's young, fast (for a DT), and agile. He wasn't an official starter for Indy because they had Corey Simon and Monte Reagor. But even as a role-player he was a playmaker. He was high on my FA list of DT's. Robert Royal has been recieving some real unfair criticism on this board. He may be a relative unknown to most, but i've watched my fair share of 'Skins games (my grandfather LOVES them) and he's a young, quality player. He was overshadowed by their H-Back Chris Cooley, but Royal was a threat when he needed to be and one helluva blocker. He's also a pretty funny guy. I remember once when I was listening to Rome (I know, he sucks) on the radio that someone had bailed on Jim as a guest for his ESPN TV show later that day. So he announced on the radio that anyone listening (who was a pro athlete) who wanted to be on "Rome is Burning" that day would be on the show. I was kind of intrigued to see if anyone would be on the show and when I tuned in, he had Robert Royal on. He was saying that he was listening to the show and being a blocking TE, he couldn't pass up on an opportunity to get some face time lol He has something that this team REALLY wanted. What that is, i'm not sure of yet. But I guarantee you we HAD to pay him what we paid him if we wanted him. Because Washington would have done the same. Andre Davis is an interesting pickup to me. He's definitely a quality playmaker. He always was coming out of Virginia Tech. He's had some injury problems that has hindered his stardom. He's too good (and too expensive) to be a #4 on this team though. I'd put him at the 2nd or 3rd position. So does this mean that our starting WR's will be Lee Evans, Andre Davis, and Roscoe Parrish? I personally don't have a problem with that. As a matter of fact, it could be an incredible trio as long as they can all stay healthy. Let's face it, Roscoe wasn't drafted in the 2nd Round to be a #4 WR and PR his entire career. Let's see what he's got. All in all, I love the signings thus far. I like that Ryan Pickett's coming in. But i'm holding out hope that we can get Rocky Bernard, Ma'ke Kemoeatu, or Grady Jackson instead. And can anyone answer these questions for me? 1.) What is our cap situation after these signings over the weekend? 2.) Do we have enough room to sign all of these guys?: - Rocky Bernard - Tank Williams - Kevin Mawae

You're right, it shouldn't. But how can you say it'll never happen? If New Orleans signs Drew Brees, it's a damn good possibility that Young will be there.
