  1. This is a good point. Playing the OLB in the 4-3 is extremely different than in a 3-4. 3-4 OLB is very similar to 4-3 end which is why Kelsey went to OLB and now back to DE. Merriman is very good at holding contain on the edge on running plays, and he is an excellent pass rusher. I do not think "Zone Cover Guy" or "I need that dude on Gronk!" when I think about Merriman. I want him getting after QBs and not messing around in the secondary. Let Morrison do that. It'll work out better for us.
  2. Its really good. Chan is good about having the guys sign after practice too. Make sure you leave yourself plenty of time because it does get crowded and parking at the shuttle locations can be annoying. Last Year I waited for like an hour after practice and Fitz signed my Brother's Harvard Football Hat which was cool.

  5. I do really want to see that stadium and Andrew Luck up close, not as much as I wanna see my Bills play, but I do wanna see that place. It looked spectacular for the Super Bowl.
  6. Dude tore it on a zero contact play, like a lot of guys. Johnson's hit on him had nothing to do with him tearing his acl. http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-network-around-the-league/09000d5d8222c2b7/Chiefs-lose-Berry-for-the-season
  7. OffSeason Ollie made me think of Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I love Sanborne. I mean, he should probably get Mario Williams/Peyton Manning Money when he due for a new deal. Seriously.
  8. Thinking about going to the game in Indy. Its only about 2 hours from where I live. Would love to go and meet up with some fellow Bills fans. Maybe this thread it too early, but maybe not...
  9. Its great. I just watched it and really enjoyed it. I was worried that Fred wasn't going to get in the video, but he did at the very end. GO BILLS!
  10. I've always liked Chad. He is a quality guy. I was living in Cincinnati during the time he was there and he and Palmer and Tj were ripping it up and he was very public. He has a good heart IMO.
  11. I like our chances at 11-5. I'll agree here.
  12. Gruden and Billick won SuperBowls without a "great" qb. Jim Fassel took the giants to the superbowl with Kerry Collins in 2000.
  13. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Huq3ku_5LYs&list=UUyHC4Fa_GiPd56FXy3Imdww&index=1&feature=plcp This is great!
  14. I only see doing this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rmUZQrvF5o
  15. Country music, my profession, Buffalo Bills, New York Yankees, and of course my Xavier Musketeers! Throw in some ice cold beer and smoking hot women and thats about it (outside my family, of course).
  16. As a teacher, this creeps me out. I'm 26 so I'm thinking, if these Babe's of the teaching profession want someone who is relatively young, why not me? Hmmmm? I mean at least its legal...
  17. So, do you picture me tearing it up on the Hardwood for the greatest team in Cincinnati?
  18. Sorry for your loss. My thoughts are prayers are with your an your family. I thought those covers were terrific...
  19. I think that there was obviously more to the "Bounty" Scandal in New Orleans than just cash bets on the First INT or # of Sacks, etc. "I want to express my sincere regret and apology to the NFL, Mr. Benson, and the New Orleans Saints fans for my participation in the 'pay for performance' program while I was with the Saints. It was a terrible mistake, and we knew it was wrong while we were doing it. Instead of getting caught up in it, I should have stopped it. I take full responsibility for my role. I am truly sorry. I have learned a hard lesson and I guarantee that I will never participate in or allow this kind of activity to happen again." -Gregg Williams. I understand that in this statement he says "Pay for Performance" and I think that was carefully crafted word choice. He did not gripe about his punishment at all when Roger Goddell. handed it down. To me, that says "I'm guilty and I know it. I'm not going to say anything to hurt my former players, but I am not going to rebut this because its true." For the people who are upset, like Vilma and Fujita, the punishments are extreme and in rare company, especially for Vilma. An entire year is an awfully long time and will inhibit his ability to maximize his earning potential while an NFL player. That being said, I fully support the suspensions of these players. I believe that the Commish must have enough evidence to believe beyond a reasonable doubt that these people were either directly involved in the "Bounty" program, or were involved in trying to cover it up when the NFL came around asking questions. There is a lot of truth the OP's thoughts on having to protect the league in the courts someday. There is a lot of reason to believe that that is part of this decision by the Goddell. Additionally, I think that there is a little bit of a "guilt by association" going on here. I don't know any of the evidence that Goddell has or doesn't have, but I do believe that he has enough to say that these guys are directly involved in some fashion. What he might be saying is, and I am not I totally agree with this, but its my thoughts on what might be going on, "I know you guys had something to do with this. I know more guys did too. I can't prove anyone else. I can prove you to an extent. Therefore, because I need to protect this league, I need to make swift and harsh punishments so that I can prove the League did all it could to prevent this type of "Bounty" system in the future and in the Courts. You guys are guilty in the League's eye, whether or not you are guilty to the same degree as your punishment doesn't matter." Its an example thing. If the Commish has the evidence to prove that its more than example thing, then I 100% support all of the suspensions. If he only has reasonable belief (as some reports are saying) then I don't think I agree with the extent of some the suspensions, especially the player's suspensions. Sorry for the long winded response.
  20. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/19415365/nfls-10-biggest-jerks-wideouts-rule-but-plenty-of-nasty-to-go-around Who is in your Top 10? I would have to put Belichick in there. Probably Theismann too.
  21. Nelson is not going to step into the "Outside Receiver" role. He is a slot player. That is why I did not include him. I was thinking in terms of one of the outside guys going down and who would need to fill in.
