Why are we soooo concerned about a 6th round draft pick?
Just sign them both!
-
Dorkington
Agreed....every time I look at more film on EJ looking for a reason to sit the kid.....I see something that makes me want to put him back on the field
-
These late round comp picks PROBABLY WONT MAKE THE TEAM
-
You can totally tell his demeanor as a Defensive Coach.....that would have beaned the batter
-
I actually like Housler....this seems like a solid move to me
Now.....Clay seems like a GREAT move.......
-
Point was that Cassel got the benefit of playing for one of the greatest teams ever. So that helps with wins.
But overall, the most recent history is important. There really is no difference in the performance between Manuel and Cassel the last 2 years. IMO, a vet should be superior to the young guy.
Look C I get the position you are trying to promote in this qb situation and I am not against you persay
but
In last years training camp EJ manuel was flat out horrible (every QB in camp was) but EJ manuel is the 1st round pick........and should have been performing far and away better then the other 2 QBs.......he wasnt
Now.....I really do hope that this years camp everyone is talking about how EJ is CONSISTANTLY looking good.....and across the board by all camp goers....and not talking about the few practices that he actually looked good.
Training camp is not regular season.......but man.....it WAS bad
-
I want EJ to do well.....but having a camp like he did last year will probably spell doom for him.
Cassell has found a way to hang on in the NFL....and Tyrod Taylor has been a backup with the Ravens for years

Thank you for your bills service Larry Dean
Best of luck in your future!

Actually he's wrong. His first OC is the only one he didn't hire. When Rex was hired, he decided to keep Schottenheimer. The he fired him and hired Sporano. Then he fired Sporano after 1 season, declaring "I never liked him". Then he hired Morningweig. 3 OCs in 3 years in that stretch.
Interesting

I want a Carwell Gardner jersey. Unsung.
Or Marlon Kerner.
Chris Spielman for me
-
You can bet that McCoy is going to see a huge amount of the workload....which is great it will extend Freddie Jackson's health.
-
Are you saying Ryan didn't hire his coordinators in NYJ?
If I am reading that comment correctly.....then the poster is speculating that he only hired his FIRST one.....
Wouldnt that be the years that he went to the AFC Championships?
By the way....I have no idea whether it is true or not.....but it would be interesting if true.

Got a call from my front-office guy Monday saying SI would be doing an interview/photo shoot with Rex at the Big Tree for an article on the optimism in Buffalo since he arrived and asking if I wanted to be in the photo. Had to keep it on the down-low to avoid a stampede. Well DUH! Found out the next day that Jim & Thurman would also be included. So I took the day off and headed to Buffalo.
The SI reporter talked to Rex at a back table while the assembled volunteers did what we do - had a few beers and talked Bills. Pinto Kenny was there, as were "The Chefs". Chatted with Jim & Thurman a bit.
When the solo interview was over, they all went to a table, had some wings, and talked in front of the camera for about half an hour. Discussed how the Bills are so integral to the community and how Rex is fitting in, how Rex compares to Marv and the current team to the 90s version. Sounds like both Jim & Thurman are involved quite a bit - Thurman's first meeting with Rex turned into a film session on a QB they were looking at (but refused to name). Jim stressed the need for internal leadership, and of course a QB who could use all those weapons. Seemed like there were no tears shed when Marrone left.
After that they arranged the assembled fans behind the 3 while they snapped pics.
Jim seems to be doing very well - was very energetic and looks to have put back some of the weight he lost during treatment.
It was a very cool way to spend a few hours.
Your my hero!

Rex only hired his first OC
Care to comment on that WEO?
Because it does punch a big hole in your theory if true.

Come on Brandon....its only money man!
Lets get the gang back together...
-
This is Buffalo.....we dont need no stinking shade
-
I'm just kidding.
I just dont like them too much. Like barely can stand them.
We apologize
You will get there
-
How so? I would like to understand this.
Which part?
-
they live directly across the street from each other. It's right on the border of OP and East Aurora
Get out of that bush Yolo!
-
Don't get me wrong, Rex is an improvement. But I want more
And exactly who would that be.....
Who has a better record
Is that coach available
-
Would rather already have it in muscle memory--its an attitude. The Senior Bowl isn't Suh. Not just pushing back just to be an a'hole my friend -- just have not been as impressed with the available G's as the pundits...
I love Cordy as a T -- which is the original thing you called me on -- you were right. But if the Bills draft a pure T and Henderson and say Humphries are better in Kromer and Roman's mind -- what do you to with Cordy?--he is definitely one of the best 5...
I'll leave it at that...
Your just expressing opinion hey its cool everyone has got one.
I think there are some really good OL options in this draft. When you further compound it with
The only upgrade has been Richie I.
Chris Williams has back issues......frankly back issues on NFL big men scare the crap out of me
Urbik is average
The others inside are unknown
We HAVE to upgrade through the draft
-
I have watched most of them during the season -- what concerns me is Cann, Tomlinson and Jackson seem to be wait and catch pass protectors instead of "punch first ask questions later" aggressors--tackles are usually more aggressive in pass protection -- and I can see some of the better DT the Bills face just plowing over the better G's in pass situations......
A lot of these guards did fairly well at the Senior Bowl. And the technique that you are describing is coached.
-
What an idiotic response.Perhaps if he ran into a family while he was racing on a public road or a child riding a bike it would be ok because he had a hard life and hes a good player.You guys are embarrasing to all Bills fans and frankly Im losing interest in the Bills because they are quickly becoming a franchise of scumbags.
Something tells me your not long for this board.....
Please keep digging

I misstated on this..guess I could have stated it better this way...none of the 2nd round guards in the draft excite me...I would rather draft a good T who has played some G and projects to either G or T in the pros rather than draft one of the G's. Flowers and Fisher seem to fit this best.
However if it came to it and Humphries or Peat were still on the board at 50 with Tomlinson, Jackson, Cann, etc...I would go for Humphries or Peat and then let the competition begin...Humphries and Peat seem to be pure T's
Actually.....OG is pretty strong in this draft.
I also would like to have Fisher though......because he can play both OG and OT
