  1. Just occurring to me, if the gameplan is to shift to smaller, quicker-penetrating defensive linemen, it seems to me that doesn't play to London's strengths. He needs a lot of protection in order to run around and make plays - he's not strong enough to take on blockers and get to the ball carrier on his own. I don't expect him to be cut, but I am wondering whether we take a linebacker at #8. It will be an absolute miracle if Hawk is there, but it won't happen. I don't like Greenway, I hope they wouldn't target him. Any thoughts?

  2. He's been a very one dimensional WR since he entered the league. By that I don't mean he can't do other things, as he shown to be a great Gunner and KR, what I mean is all he runs is fly patterns.  That's not to discredit him, as Malta pointed out he is an immensely talented player, he just hasn't been able to put it all together.

    Yup.

     

    Specializes in fly patterns and the 20-yard curl-out. Reminds me of someone else on the roster - Lee Evans.

     

    Not that I dislike the signing. I'm just wondering what they're going to do to address the middle of the offense (which happens to be the most important). A TE and a physical slot receiver (sorry Roscoe) are still needed.

  3. "Brutal?"  Hartwig is a good, young, up-and-coming center.  Gandy was decent as a LT and would make a fine LG.  And Preston would be better served at this stage at OG than center.

    Why are you arguing with this guy? It's a beautiful day, go enjoy it. Let the Chicken Littles have their day in the sun.

  4. Bentley never had any interest in coming here, period.

     

    The Browns signed Shaffer for $5 mil/season. If you think we should've topped that offer, you're a menace to society and should be confined to indoors, wearing a batting helmet at all times for your own protection.

     

    You all need to chill - the first few days of free agency is when the market is distorted completely by desparation. This team has a lot of needs - overpaying for an unproven tackle is the last thing the Bills need to do right now - just ask SF how happy they are that they raced to sign Jonas Jennings for big money at the start of free agency last offseason. Worked out great.

  5. Someone decided to ask Jerry Jones what he thought (why?).  Per KFFL:

     

    "It's not something I am particularly excited about, but the expectations were that I wouldn't be excited about them," Jones said. "But I don't know if anybody cares how happy I am. Can we make it work as a league? We will see. I don't think we would have gotten to this point unless you brought a proposal to the table that could work."

     

    He's right about one thing......nobody cares how happy he is.

    Hey Mike Florio just called, he'd like his joke back.

    "Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has said the one thing on which pretty much the whole world can agree -- "I don't know if anybody cares how happy I am." "

  6. But who was Fat Mike pancaking and pushing around?  Was it some 210 pound freshman from Northeastern Central Tulsa Tech and Military Academy?  If so, then who cares?  Did Fat Mike actually go against the Dwight Freeney's of the day, ever?  If so, was he pancaking them?  I have no idea.

    No the point isn't who he was pushing around - the point is the effort and intensity he demonstrated on film in college, which he simply abandoned once he became a pro. It happens - there are some guys who just don't love the game that much and are content to collect a few years of huge paychecks. Hopefully he's invested it well.

  7. I'm no expert. I just remember watching film of both McKinnie and Mike Williams (chest) prior to the draft, and I remember being struck by how Williams (chest) would just punish defenders on running plays - Williams (chest) would play past the whistle, continuing to pin down and beat the hell out of guys twenty yards downfield on running plays. By contrast, McKinnie struck me as somewhat unathletic and stiff, preferring to swallow up passrushers with his arms rather than shift his legs and weight. I remember thinking that wouldn't bode well for his play against speedrushers in the NFL, something that has proven to be true.

     

    For all of you who think McKinnie should've been "the man," consider that he's never, not once, dominated a game against an elite speed rusher. The fact is, as some here have pointed out, neither McKinnie nor Williams (chest) were deserving of a top-five pick.

     

    This thread should be entitled, "How did the Bengals outsmart everyone else and have Levi Jones at the top of their board?"

  8. Speaking of FA's..  anyone remember Eddie Robinson making Vinny Testeverde look like Mike Vick, on his way to the endzone? In a nutshell: Vinny runs left, Eddie's gonna beat him to the corner, Vinny fakes right, Eddie drops his jockstrap and falls to the ground.. Jets TD.

    That was Pennington.

  9. Cutting Mike Williams (chest) doesn't surprise me, but the TIMING of it is somewhat odd - why now? To me, it's obvious: immediate cap room is needed in order to lock up Nate long-term. Seems to me like a solid tradeoff, provided they don't overpay for Nate. I would expect an announcement within 7-10 days that Nate will be a Bill for the next 6 years.
