Anyone use Slingbox?
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to stevestojan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
A friend of mine was doing a similar thing a few years back, not with a Slingbox, but something else that I had never heard of. Not sure of the working, but apparently, he could remotely change the channel so just to mess with his father form time to time, he'd call him up while the game is going on, they'd start talking about the game, and then he'd change the channel on him just to listen to his reaction over the phone. Worked a couple of times, then he caught on. -
Kind of funny as the one thing almost everyone on this site agreed on is that we'd never carry 5 TE and 7 WR.

Perhaps OT? Timmy Graham's Twitter Pillow Fight
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Or the opposite, the professionals like a Wawrow see the professional side of him as maybe he does write very insightful and stimulating articles. But he has a very petty side to him and doesn't take criticism well and personality wise just isn't suited for the social media age. Maybe a guy like him would be best to write his articles and completely stay off all social media -
So I can fill you in on that on as I officiate HS volleyball. Generally they may talk about their nails, a text one of them got, who's going out with who, where the party will be this coming weekend, etc. And there's always one clueless coach in every league who will yell at one of the girls for hitting the ball out of bounds, "don't keep doing that" they say. Like the girl was aiming for the out of bounds! I bring that last point up only because of some comments from some of the Bills' players in the past few months, particularly O-lineman and EJ, it kind of sounded like the level of coaching they were getting under the Marrone era wasn't much better than that. I can see Goodwin either getting cut today to get down to the 53/54 or wouldn't shock me to see the team IR him. IMO He's not good enough this early in the season to put him on the IR designated to return list, not for a maybe #4 or 5 WR, so if the Bills do really see him as an asset as some people think, they may IR him, or they decide he is to brittle and cut him.

I'll pick last three cuts are O'Leary, Carrington, and Goodwin to IR wouldn't be surprised to see Bills pick up OL and cut Urbik, maybe even a 2nd OL and cut another WR

Dan Carpenter injury (update - put on notice)
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I suppose you could cut Gay, sign another kicker, maybe not a great kicker as not likely to find one at this point. Let him kickoff and field goals for a couple weeks, Keep Carp on the roster and give him a couple of weeks to rest up and heal the leg, then see what he can do in practice. Might just be the leg hasn't healed yet and he needs time. I'd hate to see him become the next Gary Anderson -
If Bryce Brown Starts Week 1
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Captain Caveman's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
From what we saw last year, the reliable part of Fred Jackson is thta he just isn't very good any longer, that's the thing you can kind of count on. -
Technically Saturday is "Offical Turk Day", but like many holidays in this country we make into two and three day events. I agree backup lineman have looked shaky, but you're looking at three or four out there at the same time. Lineman rarely come out of the game except for injury, so if lucky the backup lineman never play. If two lineman get hurt and you have a back up and say RT and LG, while it will hurt, not as bad as 4 subs in there at once like in pre-season. Plus can probably find some serviceable backups from other teams cuts too.

Preseason Game 4: Bills at Lions

Interesting comment announcers made, last game Trrod Taylor started was in the Orange Bowl against Andrew Luck for Stanford. Next week his next start against Andrew Luck of Indy -

That was my thought exactly!! -
Nick O'Leary looks like odd man out at TE
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I did see him on the field for at least one play. -
I'd pick the RB coach. Lets face it the staff is all together on the same page until it comes time for cuts. At that point the RB coach wants the team to carry five RB, the OL coach wants ten lineman, WR, let's go with six or seven. So I'm sure the RB coach was not happy with cutting Fred, but over all the team likely viewed it as a numbers thing and RB was the odd man out today.

Fred Says Whaley Dishonest With Him
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to BringBackOrton's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Guess I'm trying to figure out why everyone seems ot think Rex wanted to keep Fred. Is it because of somthing Tim Graham stated as "fact"? The only thing I can figure is becasue early in training camp Rex called our Brown for fumbling too much, therefore we jump to conclusion, Rex doesn't like Brown, therefore Rex loves fred and would have rather cut Brown and kept Fred. That comment by Rex was also made before Brown had a very strong fumblre free game agaisnt think it was Cleveland. I highly doubt the move of dumping Fred was made without Rex also agreeing with it, infact likely advocating for it. Wouldn't shock me to see it came down to will Fred be happy not dressing most weeks as the #4 back, probably not, so lets move on. But Whaley is being professional about it and letting himself be the fall guy here even if he had nothing to do with it. Normally this was the role Brandon took from the fans, guess we've moved on now. Maybe it was his idea, maybe not but this idea that Whaley got mad at Rex for naming Tailor the started so he then went and cut Freddy is nothing but laughable. -
Fred Says Whaley Dishonest With Him
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to BringBackOrton's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Last few seasons don't matter, this year is what matters. McCoy, Williams for certain. Factoring in ST would put Dixon ahead of him too. And honestly, if Brown gets over the fumbling thing, I'd put him ahead to, but may not matter as Brown likely won't dress unless someone else gets hurt which would have been the same position for Freddy, not dressing for the game. -
Fred Says Whaley Dishonest With Him
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to BringBackOrton's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Why because Freddy says Whaley was dishonest? For all we know Rex may have been the one who wanted to get rid of him, maybe Whaley tried to keep him, but agreed the numbers didn't add up so cut him, and now he's just taking the heat and not blaming others for it, unlike Freddy. Read in one of the columns today some names mentions, Green Bay cutting Farve, Indy cutting Peyton, and Emmitt Smith leaving Dallas, Could easily add Thurman leaving the Bills too. If those guys could be let go, players who everyone in the league knew what team they played for, half the fans in the league probably haven't even heard of Fred Jackson, then Fred getting cut, isn't even a story, which probably explains why it wasn't much more than a whimper on Sportcenter about it. -

Kind of funny reading a post like list about calling someone else an infant. Well like they always say, it takes one to know one. -
Whaley is an idiot for cutting Fred
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Freddie's Dead's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Or could be they just agreed with you so they didn't have to listen to you on your rant anymore.
