...Bennie Anderson left training due to a twisted ankle?

Gibson is the dark horse here but... It's one gift horse i wouldn't back. I would be suprised if Gibson pans out. He pretty much became to Detroit what MW did in Buffalo. Gibson ran out his welcome a little more quickly than MW, probably because MW was a #4 overall and Gibson #27. Gibson was a beast at Wisconson, blocking for Ron Dayne...Unfortunatley Gibson will probably = MW in terms of package offered- happy to be 370lbs of potential. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/...ayers/3801.html Give me an O-lineman with an Antoine Winfield sized heart, someone who wants to smack heads and drive block someone's ssa back to their own endzone.

This pick wasnt nearly as bad as Parrish though. Taking a 5'8" 165 lb WR in the second round and with your first pick ( Bills didnt have a first ) who will never be anything more then a slot Receiver is just DUMB Perhaps we have a vision of a league of undersized guys... Parrish and Corey Moore DE (3rd Round, 2000) are the starters so far...Kind of PeeWee Football for the NFL. Imagine, the stadiums could be smaller, 50 yards would look like 100 with little people playing. Offensive linemen could weigh 250 again. The food bill would be less. They'd occupy less room on a plane...

I am visiting my brother in October and intend to go to a regular season game at the Ralph. Which game would you see if you had to attend either the Minnesota or New England game. I have been to Buffalo for training camp and preseason games about every 2 years since '98 but have always been told i should check out a home Bills game. I went to Buffalo/ Rochester following the 3-13 season- so it's not dependent upon onfield success. Which would be easier to get tickets for? Thanks

Please, if you are going to post something like this- warn me. After wading through TBD at present, i nearly feel off the chair laughing at this.

I think he was interviewing with Saban and the 'Phins- looking for $10m, guaranteed...

Thanks for providing an insight to the DT situation. It's getting tough to find some good posts around here over the last couple of seasons, making it all that much harder to follow the Bills from across the Pacific.

Great picture of the lady lemswoman going "D'oh" with her telephoto lens pointing the wrong direction...

http://s13.invisionfree.com/WOMag/index.php?showtopic=14 I know he's a footballer first, however a Clean and Jerk of 172.5kg at a bodyweight of 158.80kg isn't very good. This was in June 2005 as well. The Snatch was even worse, only 130kg. Seriously, these aren't great numbers for a 21 year old of his size and touted as an NFL caliber inside tackle, high 1st round- maybe to Buffalo. I hope someone's got some "powerlifting" totals for him that show some heavy Squat, Bench and Deadlift results. There is a chance that these "Olympic" lifts can be counted as someone with poor technique or who is too slow, lacking power rather than the lack of functional strength. I do credit him though for at least competing in weightlifting. From this though, I'd be concerned that he was just a Big kid who lacks dominating power...

Well, I guess someone could bring back Stalin Colinet (DE) and he'd rule everyone under the Iron Curtain...no fun in this UN with Stalin...

I get the feeling that this current period of free agency is more of shoring up the depth chart than anything as well as casting off some dead timber. In surgery, we'd call this debridement of the wound. Go the Octagenarian

So we've forgotten Kris Farris (?) the former Pitt O-lineman that didn't pan our from the Donohoe era due to injury...

Isn't he a "high motor white D-lineman"? Hmmm, he'd fit into our rotation with Denney and Kelsay...still looking for our Phil Hansen replacement when everyone else is looking for a Bruce Smith!

Sorry, who was the 4th choice?...How about-i didn't even know the guy we took was rated for the first round...or, are you sure that's the correct weight of the guy we just drafted...did we just draft another high effort, white DE...i can't wait until the next year for our draft pick to start...

...congrats

um, apologies firstly, but i think he's dating US Olympic swimmer Mystie Hymen. Can't wait for that marriage.

If we run a cover 2, similar to the Tampa defense, is this kid a "potential" (that's a lot of potential...) Derrick Brooks type athletic LB?

Okay, so I'm led to believe the Longhorn school system produces busts? So it's the college that got these kids a good draft spot and then went on to influence them in their future careers, supporting them in their failure? Wow. Long arm of the interfering Longhorns that they can overcome a professional 24/7 coaching staff and the big A%@ professional salary. Well, i'd like to thank Lyons Hopkins Kindergarten in Warrnambool, Australia for their continuing positive influence and support for me in my professional career, being an alumni 1978. Without which i have no doubt, i'd be a bust

The guy from Candlemass had an awesome voice. Geoff Tate seems to be getting the votes though. The self title album was !@#$ing awesome. Hmmm, what about Doro Pesch (?) or Lita Ford, well at least to look at

To judge this guy without knowing anything but accusations is unfair. What happens if the paternity test comes back negative ? Is he still a low character guy. 605455[/snapback] ...Mark Chmura anyone?

...how about an inside source that says his "stock is climbing" from a clubs personal work out. So let's see now/ The Bills draft so far according to: 1. No high motor white guys for the D-line. 2. No average college player who had a great combine. 3. No player who had an average combine but has performed stellar in personal work outs. ...we should start a thread. How not to draft...

He failed miserably and though he's since departed, we're still paying for it today. TD or Butler- take your poison. I would say the Bulter years towards the end of his reign parallel those of TD's for draft longevity. But for every Dwight Freeney there's an Eric Flowers and I just wish our GM's had that Almanac from "Back to the Future".

In Oz, it's been the same argument. Turin, which appears in the Australian version of the world (that's the map where the south pole is at the top so that Australia becomes up-over and not down-under...) is pronunced and advertised as Turino. I just don't remember the Greek Olympics here as the Olympics in Hellas? I am eagerly looking forward to how the Beijing Olympics are to be pronounced, let alone spelt. Does wingdings even have enough characters for the chinese language?

Maybe the fear of him going down from a special teams tackle/ hit from a designed play, that prevents him from participating any further is factored in by the d'oh coaches. I guess on a bad snap and run, you just take it. His worth is as a punter over, hopefully a 19 game season But i still like the idea, particularly if i've got someone like the Jests Ben Graham, who played 10 years of AFL (albeit for Geelong). He could take a hit and probably give it back...see Darren Bennett...

This is a funny thread...My mate and I couldn't work out what was going on. I suspected it was the Anthem, but neither of us were that sure to have bet on it. At least you don't have "girt" in your Anthem...as in "girt by sea". Who has ever used "Girt" in a sentence before or since the writing of the tragic Oz anthem...and we'll hear it daily during the Commonwealth Games- yawn...
