  1. If he failed. he could go home sound in mind that he gave it his best.

     

    This was his big test, he studied he worked he gave it his all.

     

    There is a satisfaction in that.

    Not everyone can win the match. But if you do your very best, that is enough. There is always someone better. Thats called being humble

    Right. But something like "If I got the opportunity in Buffalo and it didn't work out despite my best efforts..." would have expressed it much better. 'Didn't do anything with it' has a very negative connotation IMO

    Kill Billy Buffalo

    #billybuffalomustdie

    Billy's low self esteem makes him an easy mark for local pushers

    I heard he's suffering from depression - always blue

    I KNEW IT!

    Just the way he dances. No straight person dances like that unless they're completely out of it!

     

    This is 2nd offense, right? Trade him to the UB Bulls!

    Meth is not a gateway drug. Also serves medicinal purposes, makes you completely forget about your hoof in mouth disease

  3.  

    Shaq/Easley are on PUP. Ineligible for the first 6 weeks. AFter those 6 weeks, they have six more weeks to activate them. If not ready by the end of Week 11, released or put on season ending IR.

    OK so the article says "The Reserve/NFI designation is applied to players who will not return to the active roster during the current season" - so we will not see Listenbee this year.

     

    So where/how does the IR designated for return go into play?

  4. Didnt Ty Powell get hurt?

    Yes - was a promising prospect then tore his ACL. Looks like signed with Eagles earlier this year but they put him on reserve/retired list so apparently career ending injury.

     

    Not a good comparison for this discussion

  5. Rex has been effusive about Duke multiple times this offseason/camp

    Q: Backup safety Duke Williams looks like he’s with the second group there. That may surprise some people considering his struggles last year. Can you talk about where he came from last year in the offseason to now?

    A: I think that when you look at our slogan about being all in, and by the way it worked for Clemson, and it worked for Cleveland, it did right? I mean they said ‘All In’ in the playoffs. Alright? I’m just expecting the same thing to be great. We’ll sign up for it. But he really is a young man that I even had a conversation with about it’s really about being all in. There’s no ands or buts about it. And he understands how I feel. Man I’ll tell you what. He’s the man that’s bringing in the coffee. That’s how much time he spends in here. So he wants it bad. And I see a different player. I see a player with way more confidence. Not something that is going to be handed to him. He’s going to have to earn everything he gets and he’s ok with that right now. So I think it’s great to see him that way

    Q: Rex, the competition with or without Aaron’s injury at safety seems to be really good right now with Jonathan (Meeks) and Duke (Williams) and Robert (Blanton). Can you kind of assess that position behind the top two?

    A: We’re still letting it sort out because you’re right. Duke, I thought, had a really impressive game, physical. Like that’s the Duke Williams that I’ve been wanting but right down from his attitude and everything else, he’s been a different guy this year. He’s all-in and I think that’s the best thing, whether he’s running with the ones, twos or threes. It doesn’t matter. He’s doing as good a job as he can and you see a little bounce in his step. ...

    Q: Rex, Robert Blanton, you could really hear his voice, moving people around. He was very audible out there, taking charge. Is that something you knew he’d be able to do right away in this defense and can you kind of comment on his development there?

    A: Well you don’t really know until you get him out there but it’s something we kind of suspected. I really liked him when he came out of college, he played corner, safety, so he kind of fit that new breed if you will at safety that they’re playing in this league. A guy that has the ability to play man-coverage and all that but man, he’s been sharp, there is no question about that. When he came in for a visit we kind of thought he definitely had that to him but yeah, he’s been great. I tell you, there’s been two other guys I’ve been really impressed with and these two guys are in before coaches, after, it is crazy, and that’s (Jonathan) Meeks and Duke Williams. I think both those two guys, they come in together, they live with Dan Lynn (defensive assistant D’Anton Lynn), they live with Ed Reed, I mean they’re here all the darn time and you can see it in their play as well. ...

  6. Why did we not try and make a trade for a late round draft pick to a running back needy team ?

    Whaley says to have wanted to give the young man a chance to sign on with another team. But, why should we care about his continued career with a rival. And I consider every other club a rival.

    It seems like we could have gotten something back from him, besides just letting him go.

    And I have also seen allot of people post that we got totally screwed by taking him in the 1st place.

    But. We took him in the 5th. He played. Produced. And is gone. I think he played his worth in his 1 year with the Bills. Hardly a huge gamble that didnt produce some kind of results. jmo

    You don't know that they didn't try. Papa on Sirius implied they did make some unofficial inquiries

  7. FWIW Bob Papa (called the game Sat for the Giants) was on Sirius NFL Radio this morning and said he heard there were other serious "immaturity issues" the team was fed up with.

     

    So much is being made of the weight, I wouldn't be surprised if that was just the tip of the iceberg and that there were other things they found out with regard to drug use and/or other serious issues that they figured he wouldn't get past in the short term (or maybe even get nailed for by the league)

  8.  

    :lol: McCoy asking the practice ref to put more pizzazz into his TD signal was hilarious.

    McCoy seems to be feeling much more comfortable this year and in a much better place mentally. The outgoing side of his personality is coming out more (see him goofing on Incognito in the miked up feature, throwing footballs at Sammy etc.). Coupling this with his earnestness in performing better will hopefully lead to real big things for him this year.

  9.  

    This needs to be nipped in the bud. I am not sure why people are trying to trap Rex in a "lie". Whether Rex knew Saturday or Monday, I am sure in his mind it is the exact same thing right now.

    I was actually thinking the opposite - that MD maybe didn't notify them right away (not sure how the policy works if the player is notified, but not the team?)
