Paup 1995MVP

Bryce Paup was pretty sweet, especially in 1995 when he won the Defensive Player of the year award. Him and Bruce coming off the edge were quite the force. I have been to Blacksburg twice to see games several years back. Quite an experience when the team comes onto the field to Enter Sandman, and the crowd is going nuts. They used to have a real strong team. I saw them when Wyatt Teller was playing there. He was dam good and the leader of their O line.

Good point 78. We will have to see what happens come draft night. (I love your user name. Never really thought about it. Until I just read your response. Very sweet. Bruce was a special player. And a real good guy also.)

TJ Watt is a dam good edge rusher also. Much respect for his game. I like Highsmith on the other side as well. Not one of the top 5 in the league. But a very good player. Speaking of good defensive players, I was on my phone sitting by a fountain in downtown Fort Lauderdale early last Friday evening and Aaron Donald just comes strolling by. The dude was not overly tall. I am 6'1 and he was no taller then me. His arms are a little bigger though. LOL

When Michigan has a good college basketball team I follow the tournament. Otherwise, I barely pay any attention to it. Its not a bad sport. But can only focus on so much. I am all in on the Bills and the NFL every week. And I love College Football just as much. My other sport is Nascar. I can record the race on Sunday, and watch it during the week late at night after work.

Cosell is a smart guy. But most fans who watch the team week in and week out could easily see that Diggs wasn’t making many big plays any longer in the second half of the season. And on top of that his body language looked very apathetic about the entire thing. Some guys just fall off pretty hard at a certain point. Beane is no dummy. He gets paid a lot of money to be one of 32 NFL GM’s. And he is one of the best of that small group. He watched all the games. He watched the film after the season. I am sure he talked with McDermott and Brady and whomever else he needed to talk to about Diggs. And he came to the conclusion it was time to get rid of him. His play wasn’t worth the aggravation or the money. And to get a 2nd round pick for him before he looks like he doesn’t belong on an NFL field any longer was brilliant. I liked Diggs a lot. But he certainly isn’t great anymore. Or very good for that matter. Whether he is even good any longer should be the question that Houston and their fans should be asking. I am excited about the Bills and their reset of the roster. The roster was getting stale w veterans who were no longer in their prime-Diggs included. Beane will have us a strong solid roster come August once again.

I will take a healthy Matt Milano over him...And certainly a healthy Nick Bosa. And Chris Jones...remember him. I am sure there are several others too. If he is coming at Josh Allen one on one, he doesn't get a hand on Josh.

Do you think they told him when he signed, " We like you. But we don't want to have to play you?"

Yup that was sad. But he was a stand up guy and really tried to help his wife in every way he could. He is one of my all time favorite football players. And seemed to be a really good person too.

He was awesome both in college at Ohio State (had 26 tackles in the 1986 Michigan-Ohio State game) and for us. Too bad about his neck injury. And as a TV football analyst he was a riot both college and pro. That was one tough football player. They just don't play like that anymore. And my namesake Bryce Paup had a dam good run w us too until he tore up his groin.

Tre Whites $10 mill comes off the books on June 1st.

I think we fleeced Houston for a second. Diggs was terrible at the end of last season. Has no juice left. Couple that w his persona and we came out real nice.

Exactly. South Florida is packed. I wish it was not so crowded in Fort Lauderdale. You have to know where and when to drive to keep your sanity. But other then that, I love it down there. I have my political views. But try to avoid going there on a football site.

What are you talking about? South Florida is beautiful. Come down to Fort Lauderdale and check out the beaches and the weather bro. You sound like a moron. What oppression and nonsense do you speak of? I guess Eastern Ohio is something special?

What do you think is a fair punishment for what he did?

I watched a lot of Lions' games last year. He was the worst player on their roster. Couldn't cover anyone. He was really bad. It was an easy cut anyways.

Rodgers can't move anymore. And why would Philly get rid of Reddick if they thought he had much left in the tank? I am not concerned about anyone. Like I have been saying since the season ended. If we had been healthy on defense, we were going to the Super Bowl. And I expect to be better overall next season.

Compared to what WR's are getting. That's not a big contract. Funny when you see what a guy like Mostert is getting (who has had a solid career). And then you see what Tremaine Edmonds and Gabe Davis are getting paid. All I can say to that is WOW!! Glad we aren't paying either of them.

Good answer. Would not put him up there with the all time greats. But had a real good career.

Who was the last great center drafted in the NFL? Not good. But great. Dermonti Dawson or Dwight Stephenson back in the 90's? There have been some good ones. Humphrey for KC is good. But he is not overly dominant. Mitch Morse is pretty good. We need some very good to great WR's. Josh Allen can escape most pressure, but he can't escape not having elite WR talent. And for those who were really not paying attention during the second half of last season, Stefan Diggs was not playing pro football at anywhere near an elite level.

I will give you that on Fields. There is potential. This will be year 4 for him I believe. Maybe it will come together. If nothing else he has good wheels.

Come on Jersey. Have you watched either guy play the past couple seasons? Fields will get swallowed up by the AFC North. And Wilson has fallen off a cliff the past few years. If say Washington or the Giants had made these moves everyone would be saying they are a 5 win team at best. Because it’s Pittsburgh, and King Tomlin it has to be the bomb. Everyone seems to revere Tomlin. But McDermott gets all sorts of flack on here, when he has been a much better coach of a much better team over the past 7 years.

You must be in the dark depths of Ohio Boyst. Huge Michigan fan and alumnus. We had an excellent team across the board last year. We aren’t flashy. But guys who play at Michigan are old school tough solid smart football players. And are also leaders. They usually are not athletic freaks. But that’s not our program. But you want guys who understand the game. Always play fast and hard, and are coachable, you pick Michigan men. Think Lamar Woodley, Brandon Graham, Charles Woodson, Jim Harbaugh. Aiden Hutchinson-he is a freaky athlete. In this class Sainerstill will be real good in the pros as will Wilson at WR. Zinter will be a beast once his leg has healed. And McCarthy will be excellent once he gets acclimated to the pro game. Guy is a winner and a leader. A dark horse is Braden McGregor. Bills should take him in the later rounds. He is long and plays hard w a lot of attitude. Can be a consistent 6-8 sack player. Had a real big game against Alabama in the Nat Championship semi final. Go Blue !!

Poyer was a warrior for us. So was Morse. Tre was a good guy. But it feels like years ago he played for us. I had a bigger connection towards Poyer and Hyde than Tre.

I agree. I am glad McDermott is getting a little more assertive w his detractors. It’s his team. And he should become a little more vocal as a big time coach in rhe NFL. I was down on him after we fell to 6-6 w the loss to the Eagles. But he did one hell of a job not losing the team, keeping them focused and winning 6 straight games w a ton of injuries. Especially on defense. If we were healthy we would have likely gone to the Super Bowl. Mike Tomlin has won one SB. As has John Harbaugh. I put McDermott right there w them, if not better. Ron Rivera😂😂

Just keep worrying about the team. You seem really good at that man. I would be a little more concerned about how the Sooners are going to do entering the SEC next season. I am sure you guys won’t suck. But should be interesting. But good signing by the Bills🏈🏈
