Competition is good but how many do they need? Tate did very well last season, ranking in the top 10 in both punt and kickoff returns. They added Taiwan and wasn't T. White supposed to have been a good returner?

Yes, when Holmes was signed some people were excited but I had posted that my friends that are Raiders fans said he was frustrating because he'd make a great leaping catch and then drop an easy one.

With the game being so different back then, if u look at the QB stats, each season there were like only a couple QBs with stats approaching even close to what we see now. Jack Kemp was a championship winning all star QB but he'd have like 6 TD passes and 20+ INTs.

I've always thought Steve Young was borderline. After a couple of underwhelming seasons with Tampa Bay, he sat for a few seasons behind Montana and then only had like 4 really great seasons. But I suppose if Warner is worthy with a Super Bowl win and a few great seasons, Young was also.

I was listening to local sports talk radio earlier and the 2 guys on the show were both on the side of Kap should get another NFL job and they thought he was better than someone like Cutler. LOL! This, however, was the opposite of what I heard on COMCAST Sports Bay Area yesterday where the host, also the Raiders play-by-play broadcaster, doesn't like Kap and thinks he can't play.

Yeah, sometimes it seems like it's Hall of Very Good. Same with baseball

Wait, there were hilights in the 1969 season?

And what is the difference between the three days being Thursday, Friday and Saturday vs Friday, Saturday and Sunday as it used to be? I guess having the meaningless game on Sunday, it was an afterthought following the Saturday inductions? Still, will people show up on Thursday to see the game or just wait to show on Friday? I hate when they do that on NBA broadcasts with the head coaches following the 1st and 3rd Qtrs, especially for playoff games. They split the screen but you miss the play-by-play.

I saw just about all their games. Yeah he's inconsistent but IIRC he was a true freshman. Let's see if he makes a 2nd year jump in productivity. Good to see he worked to get in better shape and improve his speed. His size and raw talent are comparable to Cam.

I understand signing someone after you've had a few days of training camp and identity any shortcomings but it was weird that the Bills made those roster moves a couple days before camp.

Exactly what I thought. Fiori interpreted it as leaving Buffalo instead of leaving the stadium for a new one

I don't know what it's like having 300# defenders trying to pummel you but I've been surprised how so many QBs stare down receivers instead of using their eyes and execute poor play action fakes, especially considering how effective they can be. Perhaps it is because they have these defenders trying to kill them but sometimes, especially play action fakes, it seems to be half-hearted attempts.

Awesome, Astro! It's tough to do but I think you outdid yourself with this one. Thanks.

Yes, this would be the worst for this season. Yates could fill in for a couple games but would have major impact if whole season. They have shown in the last 2 seasons that they can still score points without Sammy and run the ball without McCoy but the games without Tyrod were ugly

Yes, and he got "rewarded" by getting to leave for Pittsburgh

Or he could be a douche and try to collect from the uncle's survivors.

Don't even suggest that he join the negative nancies at the News! Yes, we have had too many coaches that didn't properly use some of the talent (Spiller, Roscoe, Goodwin, etc.) in the past by getting them out in space.

I don't agree with it but with travel from one coast to the other, it could be more like 3 days. We know Rex would let them go and probably go with them.

Starting out as a dictator? His "mentor" Rex not only would've let them go, he probably would've gone with them. Of course, flying coast to coast, they'd likely miss 3 days.

I thought that from the start. Did anybody agreeing to that consider the impacts on getting players ready to play regular season games? Then you have the limited time coaches let starters play in preseason.

Thanks Astro! You're descriptions are awesome and almost make it seem like I'm there.

Awesome, as usual, Astro! Great to hear about some action .Those 6 weeks from the minicamp were too long.

That's about right for the Bills. Draft a guy in a certain round then get rid of him for a pick 3 rounds later than you drafted him

So, I guess he was "Lucky" that they figured out he was the wrong guy and charges dropped but "Unlucky" that he got cut. Sounds like an opportunity for a good lawsuit against the guy using his name.

I agree with Bmore. Sammy doesn't yet have enough games played. Also, for me, being so injury-prone is a big negative.
