Currently there are 11 WR's on the Bills roster. Out of those 11, who do you feel will will make the team and what WR position will they have? Marcus Easley Lee Evans James Hardy C.J. Hawthrone Felton Huggins Chad Jackson Steve Johnson Donald Jones David Nelson Roscoe Parrish Naaman Roosevelt I forgot about Roscoe in my earlier post, so I closed that thread. Here's my list to start the season: #1WR: Lee Evans #2WR: James Hardy #3WR: Roscoe Parrish #4WR: Marcus Easley #5WR: Steve Johnson Extra WR they keep (healthy scratch on game day): Chad Jackson Practice Squad: Felton Huggins The rest will be cut.

So far, there's been a 3 man competition for the #2 WR position. IMO, to start the year, I think Hardy will get the start at #2, Johnson will get the #3 WR and Easley will get the #4 WR position. This obviously could change depending on how these 3 do in training camp and in the pre-season. I also wouldn't be surprised by the end of the year if Easley becomes the #2 WR, since he's shown some good potential in OTA's so far. Comments...

IMO, Jackson & Spiller are can catch very well, so I think Gailey could use those two for short passes. Seeing Spiller's highlights, he's caught deep balls as well, something that Thurman Thomas used to do. IMO, I think the bulk of Lynch's carries should be in the red zone since he is hard to bring down and keeps his feet moving upon contact.

Even Turk Schonert said after he was canned that Jauron stated there were too many formations and too many plays. Schonert also said that Jauron wanted the offense stripped down and compared the offense to a pop-warner type offense. What QB can be successful under those conditions, especially with a horrible O-line?

I think if he were to get the Bills to the postseason, then opinion's might change. IMO, Edwards is not a bad QB, I think him, along with many other Buffalo QB's have been badly mismanaged since Kelly retired. It seems like people are expecting a rookie QB to be stellar within their first 2 years in the league. It took Drew Brees 4 years to develop into a good QB. Look at Todd Collins, he was only given one season as Bills starter and he was taken in and out of the lineup that year, that's nowhere near enough time to develop a QB. I'm not saying Collins is a franchise QB, but he did lead the Redskins to the playoffs one year and is still in the league.

Good points. I can see Edwards & Brohm battling it out for the starting position. You're right about Fitz, even though he's had some nice passes in the OTA's, he still throws a lot of balls that are deflected or intercepted.

http://www.buffalobills.com/media-lounge/v...64-bfb85361eca3 In yesterday's OTA, Edwards threw 2 long TD's, 1 to Felton Huggins for 60 yards and the other to Chad Jackson. I know it's only OTA's and the pads aren't on, but could Edwards thrive in Gailey's offense? Comments...

Add in Wes Welker is coming off season ending surgery and the Pats have no running game.

Agreed.

It's a good question. Since McNeill didn't sign the RFA tender and his salary for 2010 drops to $600,000, what does A.J. Smith want for him and what is Nix willing to give up? http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d8...mp;confirm=true Looks like the same for Vincent Jackson.

So you're saying that Fewell's defense never went into a shell with the lead in any games? Fewell never played scared and went to the prevent defense in any game? Nevermind that Special Teams failed to do their job and recover the ball.

Cincinnati is iffy and did not play well down the stretch. The Patriots are on the decline, plus Wes Welker is coming off of season ending surgery. The Pats still have no running game and have a very young, raw defense. Miami doesn't have a good QB, plus they're getting a locker room cancer in Marshall. People forget the Bills beat the Phins 31-14. IMO, the Jets will win the AFC East. Another team that was a contender (but missed the playoffs) is the Steelers. Rapelisberger will be suspended for 6 games, so that will have an impact for not only those first six games, but until Pig Ben gets back in the swing of the regular season. Plus, the Steelers traded Holmes.

http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/bills/14829 This article shows if the Bills had competent coaching over the last 4 years, the Bills could have been in the playoffs at least 3 out of the last 4 years.

+2 You're 100% correct. But most of the naysayers on here seems to think the Pats, Phins & Jets will be 11-5 or better and the Bills will be 5-11 or worse. I can see the Bills at 9-7 with a wild card berth this season and at least 3-3 in the division.

http://www.realfootball365.com/comments/bills/14887/ This article takes a good look at teams that successfully transitioned in one year from the 4-3 to 3-4 defense.

Billsfreak is a moron and a cry-baby coward. I bet if the Bills were to ever win a Superbowl, he would be the type to have something to complain about it. "Yeah, the Bills won the Superbowl, but..."

LMAO!! I remember that. Dukes ripped on that fan big time and said (something along these lines): Watch in a few years and we'll see what that fan has to say. Well, I'd say that fan was absolutely right to have his jaw dropped to the floor and Jamie Dukes, Charlie Davis and Marshall Faulk are a bunch of idiots.

Mike, I doubt billsfreak accepts either offer. This guy likes to talk like he's a 'know it all', but won't back any of it up. Doesn't surprise me that this guy has already claimed to have accepted one of the offers, but no one can find the post in which he accepted the offer.

I like the ranking at #21, IMO it's accurate. IMO, the Saints should be ranked at #1 and the Colts at #2. The Saints won the SB by convincingly beating the Colts. The Colts had young WR's last season and will only get better. With Dallas, I'm so sick of seeing them rated high. IMO, Romo is great during the regular season, but stubles in the playoffs. Plus, they have Wade Phillips as HC. While Phillips knows how to get teams to the playoffs, but that's been about it with him.

That idea is about as dumb as the idea that was floated around here about doing a walkout after the 1st quarter at RWS. So, the NFL players are gonna bust their butts during training camp, pre-season and the regular season to make it to the playoffs, then say "I'm not playing, I'm going on strike". That makes no sense.

Bring on Shane Falco and Coach McGinty. GO FALCO!!!

I agree. The Bills had the 2nd best pass defense last season, but had the 30th ranked run defense. Getting bigger in the front 7 will help the run defense this season. The pass rush will be the biggest question going into the season on defense. I know there will be an adjustment period with installing a new defense, but I can see the defense finishing in the top 15 at the end of the season.

http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2010/06/10/s...n-not-til-sept/ Sorry Schobel, but you're not Bruce Smith, even though Bruce used to pull the same antics (getting his knee scoped to avoid training camp). If Schobel thinks the Bills are going to wait all the way until September for him, then he's crazy. Schobel will have to transition from DE to OLB and he thinks he's just gonna avoid all the OTA's, mini-camps, training camps and pre-season games and just come in and know the new defensive system and know how to play as an OLB? Go ahead and retire now Schobel.
