  1. Robert Griffin III - Radio Interview with Dan Patrick

     

    I want to be careful not to use the phrase "...he was well spoken..." - All too often that phrase can be misunderstood as racist - indicating that you are suprised a black man speaks so well.

     

    I wasn't impressed so much with his "well-spokenness" as I was with just how stinkin' smart he sounded.

    His answers were sure and confident, and he never once gave the impression that he was goofy.

    Just a straight up smart young man - who sounded football smart.

     

    And...by the way...to Dan Patrick's point...how awesome would it be if the walked into his combine interviews carrying the Heisman Trophy to make the statement and reminder that he won the award and not the other guy.

  2. I am a kid of the 70's. My favorite Bills player of all time is Joe Ferguson. And I still love the idea of Fergy chucking the ball to Bobby Chandler.

     

    So....pardon me as a do a flash back in my mind.....Bryan Scott - jersey and all - brought back memories of Tony Greene - picking off balls yesterday.

     

    Good times!

  3. I don't know how much credit to give Gailey for the "building of the offense".....but I will say this....that was the best offensive play calling I have seen by a Bills Head Coach since I don't know when.

    I understand that as soon as he lays an egg....everyone will be calling for his head - but for today all I can think of was what a great game of play calling.

    The series at the end of the game? Are you kidding me? Dickie and his crew would not have had the brains or the balls to kneel on the ball to run down the clock and kick a FG.

     

    Hail Chan! Congratulations on a great win for the organization!!

  4. I guess we can mostly just speculate until some "insider" or Modrak himself provides some insight.

     

    I will throw this out there and say, they may have decided they were going to dump him some time ago but were too far into the process and didn't want to see their scouting reports end up in the hands of an opposing organization.

     

    Either way...you gotta love the drama. :D

  5. Great interview with the guy from PFW who ripped Cam Newton on the Dan Patrick show.

     

    Should be able to post a link to the interview shortly.

     

    cliffs note: issues he has with Newton were more with off the field....then on field.

     

    Blog Notes from DP.com

     

    Pro Football Weekly draft analyst Nolan Nawrocki joined the show to talk about his draft analysis of quarterback Cam Newton. He had some harsh things to say about Newton’s personality, and Hall of Famer Warren Moon said Nawrocki was using racial stereotypes.

     

    Nawrocki said that the analysis comes from tape, and talking to teams. He said he’s talked to six of the teams in the top 10 in the last 48 hours.

     

    “It’s the most difficult decision some have ever been presented with,” Nawrocki said. “I don’t know if there’s a sure thing at the quarterback position.”

     

    Nawrocki said that teams aren’t sure about Newton or Blaine Gabbert in the top 10.

     

    “This isn’t a personal attack on Cam,” Nawrocki said. “It’s the result of a lot of research.”

     

    Nawrocki said there’s a lot more on Newton. And that there’s a lot of stuff that teams know that the public doesn’t know.

     

  6. R.I.P. Cookie. Sad story of a guy who just never got over a feeling the world had screwed him over.

    I remember reading that back in the day John Madden considered Cookie one of the top two RB's in both the AFL/NFL combined in the decade of the 60's.

  7. Not a fan of Newton. But I do love Luck, and really like Mallet.

    This team has so many needs, its hard to say where they need to begin.

    If Luck isn't there at #3 - which is a certainty....because even if Carolina or Denver don't want him, they will trade with someone who will.....the Bills should trade down and get as many picks as possible.

     

    I know that right now Mallet isn't high on anyones list that I see, but my guess is that by the time draft day rolls around, he will be ahead of Newton on most boards. Don't crucify me for saying it....it's just a hunch.

  8. I've been on this board for a while, not as active as I used to be so forgive me if this is out of line,,,,,,,; and I know Lori Chase is some kind of board admin (?) or something (?)....I don't know - so I say with all due respect....the Buffalo Bills Football Vault story is nearly two months old. How about filing it someplace "below the fold" and bump some of the real stories.
