  1. Yeah like when he ran and fumbled the ball with no one hitting him or his pick 6. Between that and Edwards kicking their ass. I can understand why people who barely watched Thigpen outside of a few throws he made think he's a good option
  2. Played exclusively in a gimmick offense the pistol which is a highschool/pee wee football offense in KC last year. Did not take a snap from under center. As far "Throwing it downfield" what a crock of sh--. Averaged 6.2 yards per pass. Trent Edwards averaged 7.2. Edwards also had more yards passing per game. Talent level of the skill players around them were probably around the same, although the chiefs had a worlds better te, and Evans/Bowe is a wash.
  3. Mike Sherman was so beloved by his peers around the NFL that he's no longer in the NFL in any capacity. I mean really just because we picked sh-- as our hc, doesn't mean the other sh-- was any less smelly.
  4. Schobel is decent when he's healthy. He's been getting pressure in preseason. Chris Kelsay and Denney should've been cut a long time ago. As far as Who is Copeland Bryan. A potentialy good defensive end who won't see the field because Kelsay is a "team captain". I mean seriously how inspired would you be to play for a guy who all he does is talk to the media about how he has to make plays, or how the team is underperforming, when you're reason numero uno for the biggest weakness on the Bills defense? Having Chris Kelsay as a captain is about as inspiring as spackle
  5. Alvin Bowen/Chris Ellis/Stevie Johnson Nobody needs young promising front 7 defensive players, and a wr who may have some potential in the near future. We Have Josh "1 td every 3 years" Reed. Why people think we're "loaded" at wr is still a mystery to me.
  6. The better Chris Ellis turns out to be the better it will be for the Bills. We know what we're gonna get from Kelsay/Denney which is a bunch of sh--. I'm so tired of watching these hacks. The faster a Maybin/Ellis/Copeland Bryan replaces them the better off the Bills will be.
  7. Congrats to Sanborn and the Sanborn family on a well deserved opportunity
  8. Yeah I agree but I would've taken everette brown over byrd in the 2nd rd. Contrary to Jauron's defensive philosophy about corners. I believe you can never have enough defensive ends in the NFL.
  9. Vick over his career has been sacked once every 9 pass attempts. Being fast doesn't mean you can escapse sacks. Infact more so called "mobile qb's" get sacked at a much higher rate than pocket passing quarterbacks.
  10. Jauron was in Chicago from 99-03. I was referencing the 2001 team. The Jauron team that went 13-3. Their Dline was Re- Phillip Daniles Dt- Keith Traylor Dt- Ted Washington Le- Bryan Robinson. The lightest guy on that dline was Phillip Daniels at about 280 lbs. Otherwise we're talking about over 700lbs alone between Man Mountain Ted and Keith Immovable Traylor. The 01 bears had players at every level, but even Urlacher himself would tell you it started upfront with Washington and Traylor. Now maybe this was by complete accident and I'm missing something about Jaurons Chicago philosphy, and having Big Ted and Traylor was a case of even the sun shining on a donkeys ass, or Jauron had a moment of clarity where he realized "If you have a great dline it's not that hard to win in the NFL." Even when Jauron was with Detroit. The Lions had Shaun Rogers. Even here the Bills mixed and matched for awhile until they came away trading for Stroud. The light and quick aka the tampa 2 rage didn't really come into play in Chicago until Lovie Smith took over.
  11. Ted Washington and Keith Traylor were "light and quick"? Otherwise agree with your post.
  12. He's an awful starting defensive end. His percieved ability as a run stopper is overrated. Watch the guy closely he bites on more end arounds, and lacks agility to protect on outside runs. If he can crash upfield he can hold his own, but when he has to move laterally he's terrible. He has zero pass rush ability, and he's not someone you have to account for at all. A guy who for all intents and purposes will only get you 2-3 sacks a season is indeed "awful". His 06 season with 5.5 sacks was more of a mirage, than a glimpse of what he could do in a so called good year. It's far past the time where he should've been replaced, as he continues to hurt the Bills defense.
  13. Mitchell is what he is. He's always been a bit of a stiff and lacks good lateral movement which results in quite a bit of missed tackles, dating back to even when he played for KC. He looked pretty bad at times for the giants as well up until their dline started to up their game. He's a liability in coverage as most of our lbs are. He'll be starting for us though this year. Next year maybe it's a different story. What stood out most to me was how much of a child Keith Ellison looks like compared to Nic Harris. I know it was just 1 preseason game, but I can't wait to see more of what he can do, as well as Bowen.
  14. Alvin Bowen and Nic Harris seemed to be consistently around the ball when they were out there and flew around with a lot of speed. Hopefuly one of them steps up and overtakes Ellison
  15. Favorite: Philip Rivers, and Roethlisberger Least Favorite: Drew Brees and Tony Romo
  16. So you have intellectual arguments you know you can't lose? Do you also argue with people from The Flat Earth Society? I mean really what you're boasting about is the equivalent of debating Helen Keller after listening to a Book on Tape. As far as finding Earth Like planets that neither proves nor disproves anything. You'd be surprised by the number of people that this would strengthen their faith for. Yup but some people just don't get that, and people much prefer to either deface the message, or take the message to an unhealthy extreme.
  17. Ask him why the jets hate Leon Washington so much? I mean really Washington is one of the best punt returners in the league, and they're taking him off that to give punt returns to Jim Leonhard?!? I understand they want to give Washington more carries this season, but if there is one team who rivals the Bills in special teams capability it's been the Jets. This just seems like a huge step back for Westhoff's group. Not only that but the lack of movement on a contract for Leon Washington is absurd. If I was a jets fan it would perplex me to say the least.- Granted I realize this is more of a question for Tannenbaum, but yeah. http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2009/03/n..._to_return.html Ask him stuff like In the early stages of Rex Ryans tenure how the defense is shaping up compared to the Ravens? How has Gholston looked? If the front 7 looks to have an agressive style that he in turn can benefit from? Kris Jenkins faded down the stretch last year. Is that a concern of the defensive staff moving forward, and has anyone else along the dline poised to step up? Are he and Kerry Rhodes developing good chemistry at their safety positions, with fluid communication? Are you and Bartt Scott taking an active role among your peers to help them learn Ryans defensive system? Is there anyone on the defense that maybe the average fan hasn't heard of that we should pay attention to? Than get into some "Who was your biggest help in your journey to make it in the NFL where you are today? All that small guy overcome such and such situation fluff. Honestly I'm not a fan of Leonhard the guy got lucky to ride the coattails of some of the best defensive players in the league. A luxury he does not have with the jets. If he proves me wrong I'll eat crow, but he'll go back to being the terribly exposed slow safety he was with the Bills or as Rich Gannon put it during a game against the jags 2 years ago "I don't know what Jim Leonhard was doing out there, but he looks like he shouldn't even be on the field" P.S- Congrats on getting an interview with a NFL player, and I hope it goes well, and best of luck to you in your Field
  18. I was gonna go but my friends I was gonna go with flaked out on me. So I'll be watching on tv.
  19. No I'm just not a fan of the guy as a football player, and now that he has nothing to do with the Bills I have no reason to care. That and I probably won't watch the UFL anyway.
  20. That's a sign of improvement but really it's gonna be funny when Peters proves a bunch of these people wrong and has a great year.
  21. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/sports_blo...izing-deal.html Granted MMA is not really my thing, but this is a fight that would be worth the ppv price tag.
