FeelingOnYouboty Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 He's very stiff but the man produced for 4 years. I know people will flip but I'd be super excited if our first two picks were Christian Wilkins and Jay Ferguson. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Hosting Ferguson is another indication the process has been "revised" now that there's an expectation of winning more games in 2019. The process is an ambiguous plan that exists to demonstrate the coach has credibility. No one knows what it is anymore than Dorothy knew the Wizard of Oz. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His "incident" does not seem to be that big of a thing whether or not the Bills draft him. "We disagree with the NFL's position with regards to Jaylon Ferguson," said Lawson via statement. "Jaylon is a great person who made a mistake 4 years ago before he started playing college football. He was involved in a scuffle that resulted in him being charged with misdemeanor simple battery. He received a deferred judgment and $189.00 fine, a proper punishment for a fight between two teenagers. Since that day Jaylon has been a fine and upstanding student athlete that personifies the things we are trying to teach our young people today. The past four years at Louisiana Tech Jaylon has been a team leader who has led on and off the field clearly learning from the lessons of his past." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msw2112 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I don't know what this guy's full profile is, but most of us did stupid things as a teen that we may or may not have gotten caught doing that have zero impact on our character as adults. If anything, getting caught and punished may result in a person being MORE responsible as an adult. If a fight as teenager, prior to his college career, is the only mark on his record, I wouldn't be too concerned about it. It's the guys with repeated offenses, or really egrigous offenses that teams need to be wary of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they went in fully believing they could compete at the highest level with character alone. After two seasons, they've come to the realization that they're gonna need to amend that a bit if they're going to succeed. Case in point; AB. While some may criticize them for deviating from the "plan," I applaud them for learning from their mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - I think it's gone too far. Additionally, I don't see this contradicting McDermott's plan in any capacity, nor does it indicate that they're admitting any sort of "mistake." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think build it from inside out. a strong foundation. QB MLB and Captain of the defense. both are great investments to your core covering each side of the ball. get that stuff dialed in asap ? you can take some risks. Locker room can shape any player. they have not given an inch on their program imho 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said (and many others have said before), I'm glad there was no cell phones and internet recording my youth. I carried a pocket knife in school. Today they put you "under the jail". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toesy Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 A lot of this stuff is just B/S-NFL Football is an extreme sport-it is not tennis. They want intelligent, violent players who will do anything to help the team win and do their best to avoid getting into trouble off the field. High football "character" means helping the team win, not necessarily being a super nice guy. Until he went nuts Richie Incognito was considered a "high character" guy even though he got caught up in that whole Dolphins thing-his teammates and coaches liked him-it was the coaches that told him to toughen up the guy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Maybe we could pick up his brother later in the draft. His brother is Jazz Ferguson. He's a big WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaylon Ferguson-DE LA Tech 3. Kahale Warring-TE San Diego State 4. Mecole Hardman-WR Georgia 4. Devine Ozigbo-RB Nebraksa I'd be pretty excited if it played out like that but I know what you mean. I kinda want to get a bunch of offensive guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
