Yeah, it was good to see he came back. And the Chefs paid a lot of attention to him.
And if they had this type of performance without him making a lot of noise, imagine when he does?
-
I was surprised he got the kind of separation he did. He's big, but apparently he must be pretty quick too.
Kinda made me and the million other Bills' fans look silly for our outrage over not signing a FA TE.
Ran a 4.78 40-yard at the Combine.
-
Considering Easley was buried on the depth chart, it's likely no big deal. Troup however was the backup. I hope Heard was getting in some good reps before Troup was out.
-
Plus everyone has familiarity with the 3-4 now.
-
The Bills having Wannstache and the Chefs being without Weis is a huge improvement over last year for the Bills.

Interview on Sirius with Adam Shine and Rich Gannon. This is a segment highlighting best interviews of the week.
On special teams production: "In order to get to the postseason, they'll need better special teams play."
CG: "we are going to probably have 5, 6 or 7 at some times on a kick team ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm out there on that are out there errrr ummm eerrr um that guys out there with no NFL that have done it on a regular basis, so ummmmm we'll have some young guys and you hope that they can go out and execute in that area without the reps, without the what they have been able to do, another thing that has happened with these, er umm in this uh, in preseason this year almost all of our injuries came from our rookies that we err ummm drafted. Not been able to understand the speed we're going to have to do, they didn't understand the getting ready for an NFL season and the guys with the FA the way it went this year. The guys that weren't able to start practice this year until the 4th day um after you opened in some cases the 7th day after you open training camp. That was...Those are the guys that got injured the most this year."
AS: "Why did you guys trade Lee Evans?"
Chan "Well, any time you are lookign at any situation you are trying to upgrade your football team, and you know, to say that Lee Evans wasn't a good player, that'd be a lie, and emmm he was a good player, um. Somebody made us an offer and we felt like we had a very good guys we could depend on and you not only look short term for your team you look long term for your team as well. And we felt like we had some good young develop that would uhh closed that gap for us."
AS: Who d you think will step up for that position? Who are you relying upon for this year?
Chan Well ...uhhh. Well, I think that is going to be the group, the WR grop, we all know about Stevie Johnson, he had a standout year last year, we know that Roscoe can play well when he plays. He's got to make a whole season and that's just something he's not done in the last two or three years in the season. David Nelson came on and played well for us last year and Donald Jones has a good chance to become a good player before it's all over with.
RG: Coach, CJ Spiller struggled a bit as a rookie, ball security learning pass protection issues. Where have you seen the most improvement of CJ and what is his role in the offense?
CG: His role is going to be ummm, special type situations until he does prove that he has accomplished both of those. We didn't get time to work on those things like we would, ball security has been alright his blocking and protection has not been where it needs to be, but its improved and hopefully he'll get more touches and playing time as he continues to improve.
On rushing defense, playing Chiefs who led NFL last year then Baltimore next.
CG:Biggest challenge we have, our number one priority going in to emumm to improve our run defense, we got to ummemmm umm stop the run or we won't be able to win. The number one thing our whole thought process in draft and assessing where we were going to play and to be and how we want to play this year is that thought in mind, how we can stop the run. Its going to be a big challenge, you got'ta keep'm off the edge, we have to stop them when they run up the middle and get a lot of hats to the ball and when that happens you take the chance of leading it one on one so thats a big a challenge we have right now.
Against Todd Haley:
CG: It's not a Todd Haley coached team, somewhere that fired ya, you'd be lying if you said it didn't mean a little bit more. Everybody umm so umm there is a little bit of something, but to say its not there, i'd be lying.
I really enjoyed hearing those words from Chan, just sounded honest and I like how he no longer just leaves his mumbling to "ummmmm" he had quite a few "errrr's" and a few "emmmummm's."
Interesting to hear that about the WR's. That we are replacing an entire roster of WR's for one guy doesn't sound like the best possible idea.
I'm dismayed he pronounced "looking" wrong. Did he use a silent "g?"
-
I don't know. Some will suggest the Bills made an effort to take advantage of a new rule; others will say it's dumb luck because a bunch of hicks are running the show. Take your pick.
Bingo. But whether it was by design or dumb luck, who cares?
-
How much extra cap room do we have again? How much cost savings do we enjoy if we extend Fitz and Stevie NOW that gives us flexibility to improve our team?
Rebuilding I could buy if we weren't so far under the cap.
You can buy or sell whatever you want. What matters is results, which we won't know until the season plays-out.
-
Okay, the "retard rollercoaster" is off-line today. Sorry kiddies!
-
Of course you can. But it's not what the Bills are doing.
They aren't? Did I miss the season?
-
With the talent that the 90's bills had, I'm almost disappointed we went to ONLY 4 super bowls, especially when you compare them to the watered down league of today.
youtube.com/watch?v=mmGnHeylbDM
look at Thurman's runs. He was absolutely ridiculous. Those shotgun draw plays that busted 10+ yards over and over. Give me a break.
Plus, that defense.
I'm very pissed that we didn't win any super bowls back then, but that talent on the team was unmatched and never will be matched again.
Too bad the Bills didn't face a joke of a team as weak as the 2006 Bears.
-
IMHO, with a talent like PM at the helm, the Colts should have won more SBs.
With the talent the 90's Bills had, they should have won at least 1 SB.
-
Every Bills fan, by definition, want's to see Merriman play 4 qtrs....but let the fans have fun in that thread.
This thread is for listing people you think AREN'T looking forward to Merriman playing 4 quarters.
Several people are, so they can say "I told you so."
-
Too bad Hangman didn't workout here. He's got ties to Pittsford, IIRC.
-
Says more about the level of talent on Carolina's OL than anything else. Pick Arizona this week. Big.
Come now, Mackenzy Bernadeau (Carolina's former starting RG) is a stud.
-
Sure they can.
Young guys would include Jones and Easley, who will play more.
You don't have to like the Evans deal, but that doesn't mean there is only one way to understand it.
Nelson is also young (like Jones and Easley, a 2nd year player), and Stevie is only 25. And Aiken and Roosevelt made the PS.
And Brad Smith is 27, while Chandler is 26. Parrish is the old man at 29.
-
Yes.
But admit it after one month, they finally give the most plausible reason.
They've been saying all along that they traded him because they wanted to give the younger guys playing time.
-
Haven't read through the thread so maybe someone else mentioned this already but here it is. A "friend" with some good inside knowledge of Indy says there's a good chance Manning will never play again. Or to put it the way he did, it was that the Colts won't be surprised if he doesn't play again. I guess this is a lot more serious than has been let on.
Any neck injury is serious business and it's possible he may never play again. But too soon to say for sure.
-
Manning is expected to have surgery, miss “significant time”
With rampant rumors and reports regarding the status of quarterback Peyton Manning, a source with knowledge of the situation tells us that Manning could have neck surgery as soon today, and that he will miss “significant time” as he recovers.
Yep, Manning had surgery this morning. His 2011 season is done.
-
Wow, thanks. Hope he's accurate on the O line being better. Don't quite buy his comments on the Evans trade. But overall, this gives me optimism.
LOL! How many different ways do people need to hear it?
-
Or do they tank the season like they did in 1997, to get a shot at Luck?
-
The cast came off and they found he was clutching a steak bomber...
A common scene in your waiting room?
-
i wonder if he hyperextended his left knee by resorting to his old habit of bending it to gain leverage trying to push Jasper out of the way ??.....
someone in another thread said Troup was Horrible....but he looked pretty good against detroits backups....(sarcasm).
Well, either you're right, or a half dozen people are. Given the choice...

Tubthumping wasn't bad back in the day. The rest, I'm onboard with.
Tubthumping should NOT be on that list.

I was hoping that for a guy who finished 2nd all-time in catches for a TE at Iowa (behind some schlub named Dallas Clark), that his lack of catches was teams overlooking him in the passing game. I guess I was right.
