The kid seems like a really hard worker. Whether he sinks or swims is probably up to our O-line coaches because I have no doubt he is going to bust his butt making any adjustments they instruct him to.

Can we ban that moron for screwing up a good thing? Tim's opinions are one of the main things that brought me back to this site after a lengthy layoff. He will be missed. The incoherent ramblings of a buffoon on the other hand, will not.

Orlando Pace. From 5 years ago.

M&T Bank Stadium in baltimore is a great venue. You really can't get a bad seat. I got top level seats when ND played Navy there and I wasn't disappointed in visibility whatsoever. I'm going to try to go to that one to!

Chris Brown is that guy from high school who wanted to hang out with the football guys so much that he "joined" the team by becoming the equipment manager. Nobody on the team talks to him, but he gets to tell his friend the lunch lady how him and the guys have to go on a road trip or stay late for practice.

Now I know Russell was maybe the worst QB in the league for the Raiders, but he does have a cannon, and is young.
So with that in mind, any chance we (the bills) or you as a Bills fan, has interest is Russell?
Keep in mind, Russell did play for the Raiders. I am not making excuses for the young man, but it is hard to develope into a superstar, or even a good player when the Raiders draft you. No matter how good or talented you were supposed to be. (i.e. Huff, Gallary, McFadden, etc)
I am not under the dillusion that russell is the answer for the Bills, but if he were cheap and easily signed, would you remotely be interested?
My answer: probably not
I knew it was just a matter of time before someone suggested this insanity. Terrible

Who do we have at LB?
OLB
Moats
Maybin
Ellison (who is too small to play OLB in a 3-4 but too weak to play ILB)
Kelsay
Schoebel
ILB
Batten
Pos
Mitchell
That's what I can come up with

I think they like to get the goat of Chris Berman by picking on the Bills.
I also like how he irresponsibly reported we were "heartbroken" about not getting Tebow. Nix comes out and flat out calls that incorrect and nothing from Schefter. I have been harassing him on twitter ever since to make a retraction. The one thing I hate about ESPN is they claim to be journalists, but in reality they hold themselves to no code of journalistic conduct. You are wrong about something you print a retraction.

WE FIRED OUR OC AND LT ON THE EVE OF THE SEASON!!! Then we played pop warner football all year and started how many different players on the OL? The kid never had a chance. Jauron is the devil and he tanked last season completely.
-
I don't get it. The guy produces. Who the hell care about measurables when he plays fast? Rice's measurables were not great and turned out to be pretty good. This kid will make the roster and contribute on ST.

There are 2 other threads on this

Here's what is hard for me to get an assessment on:
Last year, during the preseason we FIRED our OC because our head coach wanted a "simplified" offense. A week before the season opener we cut our starting LT. That type of chaos and a simplified offense crippled our ability to score points.
How hard do you think it was for opposing defenses to diagnose our plays and personnel schemes. Hell they probably knew what we were going to run before we did.
There's no way we can't be improved is there?
exactly! +1
-
Which, by the way, is one of the reasons I like Davis as well. Can you imagine a wad like McShay ever showing a moment of doubt? Or in any way showing respect for an opposing opinion? ESPN deserves McShay and Kiper and Gruden and Young and the rest of the uninformed ego maniacs they collect like a hound dog collects burrs.
+! McShay and Kiper know they sit on a throne of lies. Their entire job consists of picking up info on 3 round and later talent from secondary sources and watching tape on frontrunners. Most of their "opinions" are based on second handed information. They could never admit they were ignorant of anything
-
Nix said we're done adding QBs. Get used to it
-
Hopefully this team does not enter the season with glaring needs, when they could make a few deals to try to get better still.
Spend a few $$ and help the O-line while there are still good players out there. Add a TRUE #1 or #2 WR.
Excellent contribution. Whining without any proposals. You should work for the government.

yeah we hit spec teams-
spiller returning
easly maybe?
Moats
Batten

+1 We got better on special teams too.
As for draft grades, I think Charles Davis summed it up best when he saw Chavous give us an A and he didn't fight him on it. Instead, he said "I think that means I need to go back and watch some more tape."
There is no way we were even close to making a playoff run with the roster we had coming into this. Seeing our picks and watching the pressers makes it obvious we are in the first year of what is most likely a 3 year plan to put us in contention for anything. Reaching for OL or drafting a QB you don't rate highly are desperation moves and we've been drafting like that for 10 years. I went into the day upset with the FO, but came out of it encouraged that we are taking the right steps to field a solid team. That being said, we will draft around 12-13 next year.
-
I am happier with this draft than any draft I can remember. It's a weird feeling as a Bills fan to be satisfied following a draft. Hopefully my positive feelings are warranted and these players are the first step towards the Bills returning to relevancy in the NFL.
Probably because we didnt draft high risk players like Maybin and expect our "amazing" coaching staff to turn them into solid players
-
He's got cut because his play last year was terrible. Pass
-
How many teams in college run a 3-4? Like 2, Bama and Cal. Every 3-4 OLB is a conversion LB.
Batten also played some LB in packages
Exactly. Almost every 3-4 LB is converted after college. I expect the guys will do just fine. I would also expect Batten will push Maybin, who I have very little patience for at this point. That kid pulled the prima dona card and ruined his rookie year for holding out so long and doesnt seem to care he let the team down in a big way.
-
NFL Network hands down. ESPN sucked all day. They should have put Schefter on air a lot longer. Hes the only guy they have who isn't terrible. I don't understand why they are so bad. The best analogy I could draw is, it's like they're running on modem technology in a high speed internet world. They simply won't adapt and change
-
Yeah I was bummed Mayock got sick. I was also bummed he took a break from commenting online for about 6 picks in the 5th round and missed saying anything about Wang
-
He's thoroughly impressed me. He's talking about small school players playing in games against other small school teams I havent even heard of. At one point Rich Eisen just stopped and gave him props for his depth of knowledge.
-
The guy has watched A LOT of tape. I've been watching all 3 days and he has consistently had info on every guy no matter how obscure. He had Clausen rated 48 and he went right there. I'm impressed.
As I'm typing this they just asked him and Charles Davis to rate the Bills draft. Davis gave us a C+ and Chavous gave us an A. Chavous says the 2 DEs we took late can both be very good LBs as pros. He also liked Wang a lot. I'm not touting the guy just because he threw us a bone, but he has schooled the panel for 3 days, showing them they are just going off of public opinion. Like most people here know, often the guys on TV haven't even watched a lot of tape on these guys, they're looking at draft rankings just like us. Having gained a lot of respect for Chavous this week I'm very encouraged that he thought well of our draft

That's what most of these guys do. Seems about par for the course. Interesting that when touted acquisitions like Adalius Thomas don't pan out, the same writers who slammed us for not getting them ignore the issue entirely.
