Chan on Sirius this morning

[Peter]

Jabar Gaffney was apparently released by the Redskins. He has been fairly productive and is 6'1" or 6'2".

 

Although he is a Gator, I would not mind if the Bills at least brought him in to see if he still has anything that could help us.

ya know our ball coach was a QB for dem Gators, right?

[Peter]

I do. I have forgiven him.

The olny FA QBs that I could see them going for are maybe Vince Young or Curtis Painter. Painter is still young and had a couple good games last year. There are several WRs still out there and a bunch of LBs.

Chan came on and said the following:

 

-Gilmore was a good pick not necessarily because they don't like the corners they had, but his potential to be better than them in the future.

-Glenn to them is a LT and only needs to lose a few pounds to be effective in NFL. Glenn told them when they talked to him that he feels like he could play well "around 330"

-He liked TJ Graham because he was a guy that could fly down the field and add more speed to their draft. Even though he is an unfinished product they feel they can develop him while he is producing for the team

-Mentioned last year was tough because of the injuries and hopefully they won't need their 4th LT or 4th center in the season

-Talked about Stevie's surgery and how "it's only minor surgery when it's not your kid"

 

The rest was covered by the OP

Thank you (as usual) for contributing and adding value to this board.

 

I heard the whole thing while getting ready for work. Chan was Chan -- full of southern charm and folksy wit. In addition to what the other guys have posted, I picked up the following:

 

-- talked about drafting for need vs. BPA; said you can't go 100% either way -- it's always a discussion of how close two players are, and then taking need into account if they're close (common sense, yes -- but still nice to hear it from your HC).

 

-- they asked specifically about Fitz and injury last season; Chan confirmed the injury and said he thinks the production dropoff was a combination of lots of things (four Cs, several LTs, WR injuries). Then he said "but all of those things turn into excuses -- we have to be better." Finished that part of the discussion by saying if the Bills can stay reasonably healthy, Fitz is "the guy from the first seven games, not the last seven."

 

-- talked about how much respect Stevie earned from his teammates by playing hurt for most of the year.

 

-- confirmed what Buddy said about why Sanders dropped so far (bad Senior Bowl); talked about how intelligent the kid is, and said their hope is for him to provide depth, and possibly develop into a starter down the road.

 

-- when asked about Tank Carder, first thing out of Chan's mouth was, "boy, that's a great football name, isn't it?" He explained Tank dropping in the draft because he had a worse senior season than junior, and had a couple of injuries that limited him.

 

-- Chan had some interesting insight into the transition from rookie to professional; again, his folksy demeanor was great -- "you have to get these kids to understand they're leaving college football and going to their job. There's no going back to the apartment complex to hang out. Sundays are fun, but they're supposed to be. It's the work getting to that point that isn't always fun." (I'm paraphrasing)

 

-- said he and Buddy "sit around laughing" about where the team was when they got there, and where they are now. Said how much he appreciated Ralph and Buddy bringing him in, sharing the plan, and sticking to it. Chan said he feels they are "on the cusp of doing some special things."

 

Just a great interview; they had him on for nearly 15 minutes.

okay okay..."on the cusp" is a nice phrase that means you still had only 6 wins last season. Lets shut up and get on to those "special things". I'm impressed by this draft and the personnel moves to date...let's make it show in the win-loss record.

Thank you very little… actually for nothing.

 

Just a rhetorical question, is it possible for posts to have a negative value?

 

Just a thought.

 

Back on topic, it's been a very long time since I've been this optimistic about a season.

 

There's a difference between trying to convince yourself that your favorite team is gonna be competitive as opposed to seeing objective evidence to that effect.

Nice avatar eball! I'm normally on my IPhone and can't see people's avatars.

I'm beginning to think that tennesseeboy and toshiero are the same person.
