Bills just hired Anthony Weaver, 32, as defensive line coach. He has a whole 2 years NFL experience as assistant def line coach with the Jets under Pettine. I'm just saying. He played for Baltimore when Pettine was there so he knows him well.

Two QBs beats "wasting" a pick on a kickoff specialist or project lineman as we've seen recently.

Paul Hackett's last known position was as quarterbacks' coach for the Oakland Raiders in 2010.

I'm a Notre Dame fan but this reminds me of my take on Super Bowl XXVII, a 52-17 blowout. Midway thru the second quarter the Bills are trailing 14-10 and have the ball inside the Dallas 5-yard line. Jim Kelly, who teammates later said seemed dazed by a previous hit, threw the ball up for grabs in the endzone and Dallas intercepted. Two big pass plays resulted in a Dallas TD. Another quick Buffalo turnover and a couple plays later it's 28-10 Dallas and game over. Had Kelly not thrown that INT, it may have been a different game. Dallas fans would likely disagree, though.

I believe Alex Smith will be a free agent.

Should be a defensive game.

Van Pelt was a QB

Perhaps Marrone was the candidate most receptive to the use of analytics?

Are you serious??!!

Well a coordinator could look at it as a possible stepping stone to HC if Marrone fails

Or he doesn't know what he's doing

Ditto is about all I can say

And how about college coaches can't interview for another job until after their season is over, including bowl games? It's bogus when a coach leads his team to a bowl game but tales another job and then an assistant coach is in charge for the bowl game.

Yeah, here's a good one: The percentages of converted third-and-ones with a 5 WR set with empty backfield.

All you need is Lovie!! Wa wa wa wa wa! All you need is Lovie!! Wa wa wa wa wa! All you need is Lovie Lovie! Lovie is all you need Lovie is all you need Lovie is all you need

My bad!! LOL!! I remembered Marv recommending Polian for a job per his book "Where else would you rather be?" It was for the Chicago Blitz of the USFL.

Marv Levy was the Bills' coach and then recommended hiring of Polian.

At least he stopped with the nicknames. Occasionally there was a good funny one like Frank Tanana Daquiri but he would do one for every player which was way way over the top.

He still has a noodle arm. He also needs to hit the weights to improve that any.

WHat happened to Buddy Nix saying they should draft a QB every year?

The Raiders received a 3rd round compensatory pick but Al Davis is no longer around so Hill may no longer be their type of pick.

And hopefully they don't "waste" one of their 9 picks on another RB.

I don't see it.

Exactly. I say, if you like a guy, and it's your turn to pick, don't worry about where he should be taken. Of course, that approach likely had the Bills taking Whitner early. Everyone's favorite Mel Kiper said the Bills reached when they took OT John Fina in the 1st round many years ago. While never an All-Star, he was a solid OT for several years while a Bill. If the Bills like Jonathan Martin at 10, they should take him.
