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.

Bills Daily shows the Bills at $15.9 Million under as of 3/11 but the signings of Triplett and Royal were announced on 3/11. So, is this number before these signings or after?? It obviously doesn't include signing of Davis and re-signing of Jerman.

Well, it seems pretty certain Josh Reed won't be back. So, with Moulds' staus not finalized yet, that would leave only Aiken, Parrish and Freddie Smith with Evans. I think Davis makes the team, even as the #4 receiver.

The 2005 Bills sure weren't familiar with what it was like in that Miami game.

Thanks for the tip.

signal when it snows??? This is the 2nd time this month it's snowed here in California and I lost the signal. The ACC Final starts in about an hour!! My roof has a good pitch to it so I'm not too enthused about going up there to get the snow off.

We got 4 inches out here in the Sacramento area and it's still snowing. And to think I delayed a visit to my Dad in Buffalo to avoid the winter weather. LOL!!!

Hey, Bob, get any snow down there??!! We got 4 inches and it's stil snowing!!

I heard Oakland pulled out of the persuit of Culpepper after hearing Minn wanted a 2nd round draft pick. What did they expect to get him for?? I know he had a major knee injury but this is also a guy who's had 40 TDs in 2 separate seasons. Al Davis has used a 1st round pick on a Todd Marijaunavich and an earlier than expected 1st rounder on Seabass and he doesn't want to spend a 2nd rounder on a Pro Bowl caliber QB??

Hey, like your avatar. Those 2 guys were the best of the Muppets for me.

That was my first reaction. Unless he has super strong arms and hands, he sure isn't going to bring down a big NFL RB like Alexander or McGahee like that. I was expecting a big hitter.

You maroon!! It went to OT!!

Yes, the key would be the versatility you'd have a with a TE like Davis. The Bills offense has tended to be pretty predictable over the last few years. Think of the use of the TE similar to the blitzing defense we've had. From play to play there's the unknown of which players could be involved in a pass play. Just like with the defense where another team wouldn't know if the blitz was coming from an outside LB or a corner, you could have the two TEs that were both good at blocking and receiving. One one play, one TE goes out on a pattern while the other stays in to block. On another play they reverse roles. We don't know how the current team management will look at things but I would like them to go for versatility and an impact player with the 8th pick. I would also like the idea of drating Huff. Think of some of the top defenses and their top players. Pittsburgh , for instance, has Troy Polamalu at strong safety. He's an excellent player that brings a lot of versatility. He can come up to support the run, blitz on a definite passing down and also get back into coverage. I''m not very familar with Huff but if that's the kind of player he is, he could help the defense tremendously. It seems the Bills management had determined that Lawyer Milloy may have given them the run suport and blitzing abilities but he wasn't very goo d in pass coverage. Takeo Spikes gives the Bills the same type of player at LB, as he also is effective whether it's in pass coverage, blitzing or supporting the run.

People always become critical of the GM when a draft pick doesn't pan out. It is not an exact science, however. The pick of Flowers was a bad choice, but only because he was taken with a late first round pick. If I remember correctly, the general consensus was that he was a late 2nd round or 3rd round pick. The Bills (Wade Phillips) were wowed by him at the Combine and "reached" to take him. This didn't necessarily have much to do with John Butler and the scouts. All of the NFL teams have reps at the Combine and their overall lists are about the same. They could have different opinions about a player based on their needs, how they'd fit on their teams and what came out of the interviews. So, again, the worst you can say about the Bills' selection of Flowers is that they took him too early. Had they not taken him, another team would've a little later in the draft. He just didn't make it as an NFL player. You can apply this same logic to the drafting of Mike WIlliams with the 4th pick in the draft. On everybody's board, he was rated high. Had the Bills not taken him at #4, he would've been taken at #5 or sometime soom after. He just turned out to be a bust with the Bills. You can't really blame TD for picking him.

I like the idea. While there are no real good excuses for the way the defense played last year, they could've been better if the offense did more. So, by drafting Davis, maybe keeping Moulds is not as big of a deal. If Moulds is kept, what offensive potential!!

LOL!!! The 1st one was a sign that said: "Dont't Drink and Drive" which included the misspelling. The 2nd was a ground level grave marker with the name: "DUMFART"

Let's try this one, which now is a little appropriate.

Duh, now it shows but obviously it wasn't a good choice anyways as it's illegible at this size. Back to the "drawing board".

I tried to setup a picture for an Avatar and it still doesn't show up when I post. After my initial try, I shrunk down the size. It showed up in the Controls section when I updated it with the reduced image but still won't show up when I post. Any suggestions??

Generally, it's "Those that can't, coach. Those that can, why tarnish your image!"

I.Bruce has been very injury-prone. Things like turf toe and hamstrings that linger for weeks. I don't know if he can be counted on. I'd rather keep Moulds.

Runyan isn't on the list at all??

If TD was still GM, that would be a good possibility. Doh!!!
