  1. This won't help his chances of staying healthy:

    Dolphins McKinney out 2-3 months after neck surgeryAssociated Press

     

     

    DAVIE, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins starting guard Seth McKinney underwent surgery Thursday to repair a neck disc and is expected to be sidelined two to three months.

     

     

    "He'll definitely be back this season," agent Ralph Cindrich said Thursday. If McKinney's out for three months, he would miss half the regular season, which starts Sept. 7.

     

     

    McKinney was sidelined in training camp when he experienced numbness. He had been expected to start at guard after starting 29 games at center the past two seasons.

     

     

    McKinney can begin working out next week and can start lifting weights in six weeks, Cindrich said.

    Head coach Dick Jauron has named veteran QB Kelly Holcomb the starter for the team's first preseason game this Saturday against the Carolina Panthers.

     

    "He'll probably play a good deal of the first (quarter) and part of the second (quarter) then J.P. (Losman) will come in," said Jauron. "We'll probably just switch it the next week."

     

    Jauron went on to say that the decision was based on age and seniority.

     

    "There is no need to read anything else into it really. I think they'll both get a good deal of playing time. You know how that is. It just depends on the playing time."

     

    Stay tuned to Buffalobills.com for more details.

  3. I am guessing you mean "drivel" and "segue.." But maybe, based on the overall analysis you offer, that is giving you too much of the benefit of the doubt....  :lol:

    But I think he really did mean "ulcerous," although for the life of me I can't figure out what that means.

  4. Short passing offense?  Short as in Losman short? Or the actual distance the ball is going thru the air?  I was mislead all off season.....all these reports coming out of Miami about the Fins keeping that Linehan style of offense intact?  Without looking it up, I think they were in the top 5 of passes thrown for over 20 yards......btw, that lightning-quick break thingy, I think that applies not just on short pass routes.....being lightning-quick out of your break even 20 yards down the field prolly puts the DB at a big disasdvantage.

     

    Did this reach safety sign?  For 6 years?

     

    Dolphins receivers = HILARIOUS

    Bills receivers =  ?

    You know what, you're right. Why am I even engaging you? You have Mike Mularkey calling the plays and Bennie Anderson on your o-line, it's gonna work out really well dude. I'm excited for you.

  5. I wonder why Nick Saban didn't address these blatant SERIOUS needs.....how does he expect the defensive tackle position to hold up with only Keith Traylor and Vonnie Holiday?

    737652[/snapback]

     

    Good question, which is probably why he is trying to talk Dan Wilkinson out of retirement.

     

    And what does he expect? His O-Line to allow his starting RB's to average 4.5 y/p/c again? And what makes him think his O-Line will again be in the top 5 of sacks allowed?

     

    Good point, I'm sure he signed Bennie Anderson, LJ Shelton and Seth McKinney - all who were booed out of their previous full-time positions - just for depth and not to actually start...

     

    What is he smokin' to think Chris Chambers and Marty Booker are acceptable starting wideouts?  With only Kelly Campbell, Wes Welker and 3rd round pick Derek Hagan competing for the 3rd wide receiver slot?

    737652[/snapback]

     

    Agreed, especially since he's now running a short-passing offense that requires receivers to be lightning-quick out of their breaks. They don't have a single player on their roster who fits that category. Booker, Campbell, Welker and Hagan is a HILARIOUS roster of no-names. But keep patting yourself on the back, bud.

  6. Maybe he showed up to camp out of shape. They didn't draft a LB until Ellison, so it's possible they expected Posey to be at least a backup. Then again, as many here have already said, Posey was given a lot of chances to make plays and never really did anything to distinguish himself (although the previous coaching staff constantly stuck up for him and insisted that we stupid fans could not understand everything that goes into being a good football player, etc.).

  7. There is also a difference between a rebuilding team taking a safety in the Top 10 vs a contending team taking a safety in the top 15.

     

    That difference, among other things, amounts to $7M in guaranteed money.

    736637[/snapback]

     

    You too. Sheesh.

     

    BTW, Allen isn't just a safety - he's an injured safety whose injuries are considered by some to be career-threatening. And the Dolphins may be "contending," but they also have serious needs at o-line, d-tackle, and WR. If you ask me, they should have traded down to pick up Mangold or Sinorice Moss. But, I know you'd rather just blare away on your one note over and over again...

  8. Oh, I get it........"WE'RE DOOOOOMED".  :D  The sarcasm will BEGIN to be funny when it's justified.  I hate the Fish, but they have a good coach, they won their last 6 games last year and added a great young QB in the offseason.  There is a difference between a rebuilding team not being able to sign their top pick and a contending team not being able to do so. They have bigger fish to fry, so to speak.

    Can you lighten up, just a little bit?

  9. I don't get it. You reach for a safety in the first round of the draft, take a guy with unquestionable talent but questionable ability to contribute right away, when you have tons of other holes on your team including offensive line, defensive tackle, etc., and then you can't even sign him in time to let him have a chance to contribute in his first year.

     

    I mean, WHAT IS NICK SABAN DOING?

     

    :doh:

  10. Do you have any of the following traits:

     

    1) Talk like a surfer

    2) Look like a circus midget

    3) Functional illiteracy

    4) Become briefly petrified/statue like when facing the rush

    5) Look like the pillsbury dough boy

    6) Powder puff arm

    7) million dollar arm with a 10 cent head..

     

    We have had all these since Jim Kelly left--some of them multiple times...just checking.

     

    You have my vote if none of the above apply..

    736209[/snapback]

     

    Hmm... I think I may have trait #3, because I can't read the other ones.

     

    Also I tend to lock onto one receiver. If you ask me it's because I'm only practicing with one receiver, but it's still a problem nonetheless.

  11. What the hell is everyone around here going to talk/B word about now? If all the whitner threads are done, there goes the first 6 pages of TSW.

    736181[/snapback]

     

    Oh, don't worry, there still is plenty to B word about:

     

    1) QB "controversy" probably means all 3 QBs suck

     

    2) Kevin Everett is a bust

     

    3) the o-line still sucks

     

    4) the d-line still sucks

     

    5) Marv has fallen, and he can't get up!

     

    6) Bruschi

     

    etc.
