The Cincinnati Kid

McKelvin has 5 INTs for his career. The difference of 3, when Jenkins has had a very good rush in front of him, does not sell me on him over McKelvin. I like Leodis. I think he is a good player and will have a good year and hopefully several more in a Bills uniform. Williams, Gilmore, McKelvin and Brooks are going to be pretty darn good in the Dime with Wilson and Byrd roaming behind them.

I'm not generally a fan a redheads. I think Dalton is washed up.

Well, that Iowa for ya.

I recall Johnny White being an excellent Gunner on STs. I don't care either way, but if we are looking for a ST guy at 3rd RB, then it has to White. Time will tell.

I don't think Vince will create a controversy. My buddy, a Giants Fan, keeps telling me that VY will be our starting by October and I just think he's crazy. Vince is our backup. He will not challenge for the starting spot, and will be a great relief option if Fitz gets hurt, but he will not create the Fitz or Vince debate.

I was a little confused until I realized that its Mother's Day and read the 4th post in the thread. Maybe that will help.

I think that when Dick and Bobby left Nix and Chan filled the Roster with guys who could play offense and defense and then figured out the STs later, and that is why it fell. We got rid of guys who were only STers like Ellison and company. April had too much power over the roster and it hurt when the injuries came. Now that we have a roster that is actually capable of playing NFL football, we can get 4-5 guys who excel on ST and also play O or D. There is a difference.

No thank you. We have enough receivers with drop problems...

Me: Wanna hear a joke? Person: Sure. Me: Women's Sports.

After seeing that video, I would take Fendi and Caussin as Chandler's backups.

I hope Dareus has more of these kind of things to say. Love it... The whole quote with the "mmmmmmph!" is hilarious and outstanding.

I'm done with Chris Kelsay. I met him, and he is a cool dude, but he offers very little outside of Run Fits from the DE position, and frankly, I'm over him. I would not at all be surprised or upset if we cut him.

I thought I recalled hearing the Bills players, specifically David Nelson, talking about the use of iPads for their day jobs...

The Top 10 Picks are 5 year contracts, I believe. Edit: Top 10 are 4 yrs with a team option for the 5th. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/04/20/fifth-year-contract-formula-could-push-tannehill-out-of-top-10/

No. We don't need aging vets in their twilight! We are trying to put together a young core of guys to help this team win. It would be counterproductive to cut a guy like Donald Jones for Ochocinco. They would give you the same skill set and number of catches, the only problem is someone else would grab Jones and develop him, while we would watch Ocho stumble off into the sunset. NO!

I say no. We'll be just fine. I don't want a guy with the kind of baggage those guys bring.

This is so bizarre. Its a long read, but really interesting. From Deadspin.com http://deadspin.com/5906658/is-an-espn-columnist-scamming-people-on-the-internet-[update] and http://deadspin.com/5906849/sarah-phillips-admits-she-concealed-her-identity-made-poor-choices-with-who-to-trust

CHAMPIONSHIP! Lol. I like our chances at doing well and breaking the drought. I'm more of a wait and see kinda guy. Would love improvement. 6-10 last year means a 3 game turn around would be great, so I like 9-7 with realistic chances for 10 to 11 wins.

No

Take the Bills straight up.

I went back and forth on Asper and Brown. My reason for taking Asper was that he can play both C and G and so can Urbik. I don't know as much about Brown, other than Buddy said he likes guys that can play two positions because you only get 7 active on Sundays. If Brown can play G too then it will be an interesting Camp Battle. Maybe Asper sticks on the PS. My reason for Heard over White is that in the 4-3 system I believe that you'll need at least 5 DTs and 6 LBs. Heard gives us that, but again, I am not in any position of knowing and maybe the preferred position in the LB and 7 LBs is better than 5 DTs. Regardless, this competition is going to be fierce.

I believe the argument against bringing in Gaffney is the same as the one about bringing in Clark. We don't have a real need for an aging vet on a roster that is going to have make tough roster choices as it is. At the WR position we are going to have to cut guys that have contributed for the Bills. No need to complicate it any further.

Thanks Hindsight.

I agree that young NFLers need to see how their teammates work and get it done in the offseason and weight room, but it does not have to be from a guy in the same position. Nobody works harder than KW, Stevie or Fred. If a young guy on the Bills wants to emulate a work-ethic, then he should watch one of those guys. Dallas Clark is likely done. He had a great career, but as someone pointed out, his production has led to his demise. His body can't take all the pounding anymore. I wish him well in whatever he does after football, but I don't want to give a roster spot to an aging vet with little to nothing left on a roster that is already loaded with guys who can contribute. We are going to have to make some difficult veteran cuts this year, and having Clark would just make it even harder.
