Lurker Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Is there any reason to think the Cards wouldn't match a reasonable offer we make to him? 628596[/snapback] Hey, make the Cards pay up even if we don't get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you gotta do is get Ralph going. Have him tell one of his stories about the old days. That will either put Bidwell to sleep or at least take a week of his time.

JoeF Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Wells profile from Scouts, Inc: Comment: He has outstanding overall size and bulk and good speed and movement for a big man. He shows decent short area pass protection and comes off the ball with pretty good explosiveness and quickness. You like his movement skills when he is attacking the defense in both the run game and the passing game and his versatility at OG and OT make him an interesting player. All of his problems start to show up when he is asked to move laterally and become an east-west type player. As good as his speed is, it appears to be straight line, and when you ask him to slide and adjust, he is not the same player. His ability to sustain blocks and keep his feet moving is suspect at times, and you don't always see great balance. He doesn't adjust to a moving target very well, and despite his speed, he is not a great space player. He needs to become a better lateral player, and his east and west movement needs to become as comfortable as his north and south movements. When that happens, this is a young guy who could develop into a pretty solid football player, and there is every reason to think that his progress will continue Rated a 68 on their scale...to give some reference on that -- Bennie Anderson is a 72; Villarrial a 76; Stephen Neal a 67.... The person rating Bennie last year must have seen the first Jets game that I saw live--Bennie looked like a player... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambler Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 He is 6-4 and 320 lbs. He'll maul all day long. He is what the Bills are looking for in interior linemen. 628594[/snapback] Deja vu? - I heard the same things about Bennie Anderson. Yikes! Plus they have to give up a 6th rounder to sign him. If the Bills are picking up Arizona castoffs I am a little worried. AZ couldn't run the ball. Honestly, I don't know if he can play. Let's hope so.

Aarington looked like crap everytime I say him last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5 Wide Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 It was a nice indictment when Belichick said there was no reason to worry about buffalos horsecrap offensive line in that book....when a headcoach in your own division puts that on the line then I think its time to look at some big guys in the trenches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much for the thinking that they're somehow more knowledgeable than the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Unfortunatly it isn't the "sexy" thing to do bringing in big horses to play in the trenches. It doesn't sell tickets or merchandise. Of course it's the most important thing in football, but I get the feeling a lot of these front offices would rather have the great qb, lb, rb, etc etc, then the bodies in the trenches to do a silly thing like actually win football games. It's been far too long since we've had a competant line, and so far I dont see that changing. It's early in free agency, and we have 4 picks in the first 3 rounds, so I wont get all bent out of shape at least until after the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get why we haven't addressed the line either...starting to really piss me off as free agents like Mawae sign with other teams. We got to bring in Neal or Runyon IMHO.
