Well, if the NFL teams are looking to over pay slow white defensive linemen, i think my chance to live my dream is on the horizon.
-
-
Yeah i just realized that. But it is understandable considering the initial conversation was about a safety.
Side note, when referring to either Roy Williams, how about we say WR Roy Williams or S Roy Williams.
-
They have been playing the Yankees game for years, and last year was the only year they were even worth looking at as a playoff contender.

Buy her anything that she wants.
Do it while you can still afford her affection!
J/k. Congrats

Well, remember that Roy Williams was taken at #8. Some of the other safeties that have turned into great pros were taken a little later with Rodney Harrison at 14, Polamalu at 16, and Ed Reed at 24.
The video of Huff someone provided didn't give me a good enough impression of him to be taken at #8, however.
Agreed. With a guy like Roy Williams you saw in his highlight reel alone that he was going to have an impact on the football field. Remember that hit that was always shown of him completely leveling that guy? I think that guy was from Oklahoma State.
I think Huff is an athletic player and i think he will be fairly good if not very good in the NFL. I just think that the #8 slot is really high for a guy like him. Yes he is fast and all that other stuff, but i think if you want to take him you have to trade down and risk someone else picking him up before the Bills.

Well see now i would have to agree with that to some extent. The one thing that this show has been neglecting is the way that a mobster's offspring get involved with the "business". Although i don't think it is likely that this will happen, I think it would be an interesting twist to do so.
-
I don't think it was a "great" episode, but i think it was an interesting way to start the season off. A couple of things though...
1. Vito is obviously conspiring to kill Tony on the account of what he said about "something" happening to Tony. I think he is letting the power that he as acquired over the lay off go to his head a little bit. I think he may be conspiring with Phil, who is Johnny Sac's acting boss while Johnny is in prison. Vito is the only contact between the New York family and the Soprano family, which means that he has the power to manipulate the relationship for his benefit.
2. Tony caught a break with - I can't remember his name - the guy who was a rat and his son has MS dying. He couldn't get out what Tony was saying on tape before he croaked so, that's just one of those things that you'll have to look for.
3. Tony is not going to die. Let's be realistic here.
4. The guy who hung himself will more than likely come back at the end of the show. Do you remember how he wiped the blood on the road map when he was driving back from the hit? The FBI knew he was involved with Tony and he was working for them. Could this be the thing that finally links Tony Soprano to a murder, even though he did not give the order? (Christopher did) Did the guy who hung himself leave a suicide note?
5. When Tony was giving in to Phil on one of the shady deals between the New York family and the Soprano family, - where Tony was going to get 35% of the deal instead of the original amount - is that going to portray Tony as a weakling and inspire some factions of his family to rise up to seize power?
6. The main question i want to ask is how many of the guys from the past are going to end up affecting this story in the future? For example, the guy in the Pinebarrens. I have been waiting for him to show up in one of these episodes, seeing as Christopher and Paulie "might have" killed him.
All and all i thought it was a decent episode and i think these are some key things that people should keep in mind for the remainder of the season.
-
I would prefer if Buffalo picked up Rocky Bernard in free agency rather than Pickett and i think Bernard's stats speak on his behalf.
To solve the safety problem i think we need to go with a guy like Tank Williams, i think that Williams is the best possibility in free agency. The only other guy worth looking at in free agency is there because we put him there.
If we don't get Williams i think there is plenty of safety talent in this draft. Ex: Darnell Bing, is not that bad and i could certainly live with him.

Few would accuse me of viewing Losman through rose-colored glasses. But these stats don't make a meaningful case against him. It ranks QBs strictly on the basis of how many yards they accumulated over the 2005 season. Since the playing time was split 50/50 between Holcomb and Losman, neither Bills QB had a realistic chance of making this list.
Amen.
-
I am not saying the Bills should draft a QB, but I found this interesting. The Bills need a QB according to the stats.

Passing leaders.
Okay. But all the quarterbacks on that list were not splitting playing time with another guy like Losman was. I guess i understand what you are saying now, but i still think that Losman is hands down the future of the Bills. If he wasn't splitting time or hearing crap from people in Buffalo, i bet he could be atleast in the middle of the pack next year.
-
Wow you're right about the conference thing. I need to put the bong down or something. HAHA
-
I'll step up for the personal attack.
I have no problem with the Bills drafting a QB early in the first round, especially if there is no good offer to trade down. I would rather a QB than reaching for a lineman because it's a need.
If anyone thinks that the Bills will become a playoff team because they picked a guard with the 8th pick in the draft you should just find youself another team to root for cuz you dont know sh*t about this one.
The idea of drafting a wuarterback with the #8 pick if you are the Bills is down right retarded. The Bills don't need a quarterback! If a quarterback does fall to us, guess what? The Detroit Lions are right behind us drafting in the #9 position. They are in dire need of a quarterback to rebuild their team, and they will draft the quarterback that falls to them. Buffalo can use this as an advantage and shop the pick before the Lions to any team that needs a quarterback.
So please just shut your motuh with you ignorance. I'm sorry to put it so bluntley, but for christ sake. Pull your head out of your @$$! WE DON"T NEED A QUARTERBACK!

I think that Ngata has the size and ability to play NFL football, but i don't think i want to take a chance on him.
The reason i say "chance" is because he is playing in the Pac 10, and personally i believe that the Pac 10 only has one or two good teams. I don't think the game film is there to see if he can hack it against NFL caliber players. So therefore, i would pass on Ngata.
I think you are better off taking somebody from a better conference that the NFL draws a lot of its players out of. For example the SEC. Hands down has some of, if not the best football at the collegiate level. It seems as though everybody from the SEC is picked up by teams because of the challenging football that they play down there.
I think Vernon Davis, Broderick Bunkley, and Mario Williams are the best players in this draft, and i think Buffalo needs to take a serious look at these guys because they are going to be the future stars of this league.
-
I would have to agree, that is how i would want it to be in la la land.
How would this be for a d-line Mario Williams, Rocky Bernard, Triplett, Schobel.
It sounds pretty damn good to me.
The only thing i have a problem with is that we don't have to worry about Broderick Bunkley falling to us. We could even trade down and get him. Not trying to be an @$$ or anything but, you know how it is.
-
I think the Bills should trade their whole draft for Terrell Owens. How is that for a realistic plan. Or better yet, we could trade up to the number 1 spot for Vince Young, and that would be the end of our offseason. HAHA
Really though, i would love to see the Bills bring in Rocky Bernard and Jon Runyan. I think Runyan is more of a need player at this point, and is also kind of a reach, but a reach that is realistic. I think the guy out of the two who is more likely to signed is Bernard.

How is this a stupid thread question?
"It is conceivable given recent developments that one of the big 3 QB prospects is available at #8. If so, should the Bills draft one of them?
Personally, I would hope they were there and give the Bills a chance to trade down and get a couple more draft picks on top of a premium lineman with the top pick."
Failing to understand a hypothetical question is stupid. The possibility exists that a top rated QB may be there at #8. Evaluating the future success of the top pick is a completely different question. The question pertained to the propriety of drafting a QB or doing something else.
I favor doing something else (i.e. trading down if possible) but I hope a QB is on the board to give the Bills some leverage at least.
I see the title of the thread as an indication that the creator of the thread wishes to draft a quarterback in the first round, and i think a lot of people see it that way also.
-
His absence to the fans will be similar to that of how teams prepared their offense against him on the Bills defensive line...
Coach: "Justin who?"

This is a stupid thread question to begin with, let me start off by saying that.
How many years will it take for some of you to realize that the draft is a crap shoot, and the majority of the players drafted in the first round end up being mediocre or bust. Year after year people sit here and talk about "how great this years draft class is".
The perfect example is the "Year of the Quarterback" in 1999. That was supposed to be the best draft if you were looking for a QB, because "all of those prospects were going to have success in the NFL". Let's recap. The only decent quarterback that year was Donovan McNabb and with the absence of Terrell Owens, his credibility as a player has been highly questioned. The rest of the bums in that draft are screwing in lightbulbs with Rob Johnson and Ryan Leaf.
The Top 10 picks in the last few drafts have been overall mediocre. Yes there are a few people that have had success, but there are many that are considered bust.

All the others it is too soon to tell what the out come is.
But year after year you buy into this draft hype thinking that some of these guys are going to change their teams fate as soon as they step on the football field. Year after year, the information is there and year after year we buy into these stories and hopes of success when really every draft class is pretty much the same from year to year.
The bottom line is, the Bills need to trade down based on the information provided above. If you trade down, do your chances of not drafting a bust go up? Probably not, but atleast the cap hit isn't going to cripple your team for years to come (Example: Ryan Leaf in San Diego).
I vote trade down with a team, pick up Bunkley and another pick so that we can rebuild this team and make it the way it was when the Bills had success.

Davis would be a huge improvement over Josh Reed.
Not to be an !@#$, but his name is Andre Davis, not Andrea. Just an interesting little tip because there is a linebacker on the Browns named Andra Davis.
Davis played at the high school just down the road from my high school so i have been following him ever since he was drafted, and i gotta tell ya, the guy has speed and he can make some great plays in the open field.
SIGN ANDRE DAVIS!
-
Okay, now here we go.
I might be a little biased because I actually PLAYED against Andre Davis when I was in high school (he kicked our team's butts all over the place) but he was always the one guy in that crowded Browns WR corps that I thought had some serious talent...and he put up very good stats considering they used him basically as their 3rd WR.
And he had a similiar problem in New England where he was on the merry-go-round of Patriots WRs.
Could be worth a look.
And Triplett never really panned out to be as dominant of a DT as Indy expected...but hell, he's better than Tim Anderson and could at least bring some talent to our DT field.
Did you play against him when he was in Niskayuna?

I think Rocky is a better choice for DT. Hands down.

I like the possible addition of Morris based on the fact that i have kept an eye on him while he was in Seattle. He hits the hole quickly and doesn't dance before he gets there. He is the north-south runner Antwain Smith was supposed to be, we should just not get Bishop Harris to "f" this one up for us too.
