We need H-backs to block for him.

I do think we will go after a TE in FA. Today's TEs are key components of the running game. That's why they call them H-backs or powerbacks. They're kind of a cross between a fullback and a TE. It's why fullbacks are rarely used any more. Gailey does use TEs in his offensive schemes and primarily as an H-back. It is definitely a priority if they want to get CJ Spiller rolling. If he can catch too, well that's just an added bonus. We will find one and we will find a QB to backup Fitz too. Beyond that, it all depends on how things play out.

That's a great story. The guy is a long time Bills fan and is now doing the new turf for the Ralph. His company is making a top notch product too.

I moved from Lockport to Northern New York back in 1989, but I remember listening Bills radio back then and it was pretty good. Don't know what happened, but this sounds like great sports reporting to me now.

Now I know why they call you Meathead.

Geesh Joe. I thought you had better character than that. Wheres the Senator when you need him. 16-0 or don't bother playing on my team.

I guess the Twitter fad isn't over yet.

Would you take 8'-8" or 3'-13" up your arse? Where do you freaking people come from?

What take? No possibility of this happening so there nothing to have take on.

Nick, that was a great interview! Keep up the good work.

Nooooo!!!! Keep him in there!

At the 6 minute mark, his helmet is knocked off and he is still fighting for more yards. He's a fighter. Me likey.

That's the one I was thinking of. Where is he now?

LB Resign Poz. S Resign Whitner(I'll probably get bashed for this, but he is the best available) CB Resign Florence(He has a lot of experience and we need a leader for our new CBs) TE Andre Smith(We need some depth here and he has some upside) QB - we need one or two on our roster but I am up in the air on who. The way I see it, we could either grab two young guys with potential or we could grab one viable veteran starter that can win games in Fitz's absence. I like Hasselbeck or Palmer but there really is a very small chance of getting wily veterans like this. I know a lot of people like Thigpen, but he just scares me. Tough call here. As for the offensive line, I think with the addition of Hairston and our acquisitions from the last couple of years we can stand pat here. Wood, Levitre, Hangartner, Bell, Urbik, Wang and a couple of lesser known backups are on this team as well. Baring major injuries we are good. If we acquire anyone it'll be a be a tackle. Front seven is looking pretty good with the last couple of year's acquisitions, though you can never have enough LBs. We are looking great at the tackle positions and DE positions. K. Williams, Troupe, Carrington, Dareus, D. Edwards, Jasper all show great promise. I don't know if any of our LBs are probowl worthy, but with a front like this, they are bound to look better. Skill positions like RB and WR also look pretty good. We still don't know what we have in Easley but he'll be back this year and the rest of our line-up is certainly nothing to sneeze at. We have some very dangerous weapons in the arsenal. Our new running back is considered a one cut and up the field runner who is very good at finding running lanes between the tackles. This is something that Spiller struggled with last year. A nice complimentary pick. I think we can stand pat here as well. Greatest needs at this point appear to be QB, TE and LB. We have some talent but in these three positions, I would not say great talent. It is possible that a couple of stars will rise out of this group but QB and TE at the very least need depth.

OK, you lost 100% credibility with the link to Walter Football. This is the absolute worst place to find smart football information. And reality is not always a cold dose. I know you are a long suffering Bill's fan, but wake up, man. There is much to be optimistic about.

Another interesting thing is Gailey said his body fat level was pretty low. To have a body that size and low body fat is amazing. This guy is definitely a very rare find. It may not translate on the field, but it won't be because of physical attributes. Desire is the only thing that could slow him down now. And frankly, given his sudden promotion to the pros, I think he is going to do every thing in his power to hang on. Can't wait to see him line up across from an NFL caliber center.

Actually, Fitz and Palmer are good friends. I don't think anybody's feelings would be hurt, but I do think they would push each other for the starting job. Palmer has put up some serious numbers for the Bengals but that is a team that just hasn't been able to put all the pieces together. I wouldn't mind him coming to Buffalo at all. Maybe we'll get lucky and they just let him retire without demanding a compensatory pick.

We'll have to revisit this thread to see how "grounded" in reality you are. Why don't you move your pious arse to another thread and let people enjoy their team. This is just some good old fashion optimism. There is nothing wrong with that but you on the other hand seem to want to be a know it all and a spoiler. Give it a rest.

That was actually a nice article and Donte actually sounded sincere. His replies were reasonable and he is sounding a bit more mature than in the past. I hope he does come back and have the battle of his life to retain his starting job.

Palmer and Fitz are good friends. It's not so far fetched that he may land in Buffalo. Cincy says they have no intention of letting him go. Palmer is threatening to retire if they don't and swears he will never play another game in Cincy. Sticky situation, but if he leaves, Cincy will want some kind of compensation for him. Question is how much?

Shoot, add Dwan Edwards and Alex Carrington and we actually have depth if someone gets hurt or have a nice rotation to keep these big guys fresh. We just didn't have that last year. The Bills have quietly been building a dominating defense for two years and everyone is only looking at what we got this year. The addition of LBs, safeties and CBs all add up to an overall improvement in all phases of the defense. I don't know if we'll see Poz, Whitner or Florence back but if we do, we'll have one hell of a lot of depth and one hell of a lot of competition for starting jobs. George Edwards and Dave Wannstedt have got to be licking their chops right now. I know I am.

Call me crazy, but I have higher expectations.

I want to see him lined up with Eric Wood in front of him. That will tell you what you need to know. As for what he did in college, he play at Bethel. You aren't going to find anything there. The team had a horrible offensive line so that is where they moved him even though he was probably a better fit as a nose tackle body wise. We're just going to have to wait till training camp to see, but damn I am stoked to see what he can do. As our scout said, guys this big strong and athletic don't grow on trees and in fact are extremely rare. He was intrigued enough to follow his progress for years. That just doesn't happen unless they saw something worth investing the time on.

Delusional? Dude, I get the impression that Jasper would love nothing more than a chance to go toe to toe with Wilfork. I wouldn't exactly call that delusional, though. There is nothing wrong with optimism. Nothing at all.

He can play offensive tackle too.
