saw him at Papaya again last night. I swear the man lives there. Full beard and everything. Honestly, I feel bad for the guy. He really took to the community, he just has no concept of getting rid of the ball in a timely fashion. With a real QB coach he might have a shot, I mean hes still only 28 and has a cannon for an arm.

Tyler Dunne sez Nic Harris is da man
rpcolosi replied to Beerball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
hard to believe. But I pray every day that Harris or Bowen over takes Ellison. Another year of a 6'0 220lb WLB makes me cringe. At least harris is listed at 6'3 230. He was a far, far better college player then ellison. Here's hoping... -
I vouche for this ACerr since I'm pretty sure he's a high school friend....

Mike Florio discusses Bills future
rpcolosi replied to Glass To The Arson's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
who the F is mike florio? this guy clearly is garbage trying to fill some time this morning. Yes we all know its necessary to draw Toronto dollars to keep us here - ie suites, etc. But the day of 8 games a year in buffalo is over? i doubt that. once ralph (or new owner) gets 5-10 large toronto businesses to buy suites, clubs seats, etc. they will pack up and move regular season back to buffalo while keeping a pre-season game or 2 there. heck, if it really worked move training camp up there. its just like the green bay/milwaukee ploy, and is necessary to keep us on good economic ground here. we need more big businesses to draw from, and until the city of buffalo starts getting more big businesses here, we will be forced to draw from Toronto and Rochester corporations. other cities do this too - but for us its a necessity. We have 0 fortune 500 companies here. If we want the bills to stay we need our leaders to start making this an attractive area to bring big business. And the best way to do that is like they just recently did was Yahoo! going to Lockport - offer the cheap electric that comes with the Niagara river. Whore out that electricity that made this city famous 100+ years ago... ok rant over -
now i know for sure he's an idiot. you don't break up with that...you don't cheat on that...

yup exactly the same - minus the MVP qb, HOF Left Tackle, HOF RB and london fletcher. OK kidding about fletcher but the rest is true. about the ONLY similiarities are at wideout with TO being Bruce, Lee as Holt and Roscoe as Az-hakim. thats really the only comparions. sorry skooby

Derrick Brooks Still Holding Out Hope
rpcolosi replied to bobcat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
listen i hate ellison as much as you do but they play two totally different positions. putting brooks there would be like getting Eddie Robinson again. too old and slow to play weak side in our scheme. -
Beckett 2009 pro football preview magazine
rpcolosi replied to major's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
your prediction is slightly more laughable bud.... -
eh so what - it tastes better than bud light, bud heavy and coors. and besides, do you really think we lost that game cause of the throwback? We should have been playing flutie, not RJ....

Trade Whitner while we still can
rpcolosi replied to Heart Throb's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
this is a pretty dumb post but hey, you're open to your opinion. we have 2 bad starters on defensive, and neither is named whitner. Ellison and Kelsay. Whitner is a run supporting SS. He is not going to get INTs ala Mark Kelso. Heck, not even like Henry jones because he is used differently in this system. Anyway, like I said, you have your opinion, it just seems brash and a little unfounded. -
the problem I see is he can only play middle or strong side - and we dont have a quick enough LB with size to supplant Ellison. Kawika and Poz aren't fast enough to cover on the weak side. being that brooks plays their position, and is slower than both at this point, i can understand that there isn't much need for him, outside an injury... now if we didn't play a 4-3 I'd love him as an ILB along Poz, but we all know thats not changing until cheerio ' chap Jauron is out of town.

CBS Sportsline blurb on Whitner, Scott and Byrd
rpcolosi replied to Whites Bay's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
whitner would go back to SS and Byrd to FS if anything.... Its not uncommon though for them to bring in Scott to cover TEs and stuff because he has more size then whitner, byrd or KO. but thats mostly on passing downs that they'd have all 3 of them out there. horrible article... -
Three way trade rumor?
rpcolosi replied to HereComesTheReignAgain's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
if we could unload Roscoe it be better. Reed is our best blocking WR, and I don't see them wanting to part with him especially because of how effective he is in the slot. Roscoe in his walk year and a 2nd rounder for Tommie harris? I'd like it.... -
very logical. I see them and the Riches doing it together, unless Jacobs is able to sell the bruins, otherwise he can only be a minority shareholder in the team as per NFL rules. there is no reason to think they cant together put a 900mil bid in. Especially considering one of the Rich brothers is a pastor who inherited $1.5 billion. this is rarely mentioned, and I could not find much on Rev. David Rich online, other than he appears to be a minister considering he has a family and went to Virginia theological seminary. I know he was active in the Buffalo community for some time, but his name is rarely mentioned. I wonder if his inheritance is directly tied to the company then and not accessible. But keep your eye on that. He could very well be Kelly's "private" investor, since Jimbo's wife is a very strong Christian an active in the Buffalo community in terms of outreach and things.... all speculation... i know

read the history - D ends do not do well their first year. period. end of story. don't expect anything. they didnt draft him for this year, they drafted him for the next 5 years. an honest projection? part time, 3rd down rusher and occasional OLB in 3-4 schemes. He is not ready to stop the run and wont be for some time. 2.5 - 3 sacks is a good estimate with maybe 15 tackles? its about time we draft someone for the long run as opposed to everything being "now, now now." we need to build a good, solid defensive core. I think he'll be a good piece to have in the long run - ala mario williams.

from ESPN insiders: Paul Posluszny, LB, Buffalo Bills Another middle linebacker, Posluszny would likely already be one of the AFC East's Ultimate Building Blocks had he not fractured his forearm three games into the 2007 season. In what effectively served as his rookie year in 2008, Posluszny showed signs of becoming an excellent middle linebacker. He made 14.7 percent of his team's plays on the ground, eighth among 4-3 middle linebackers; furthermore, he made tackles in important places. He had a stop rate of 54 percent, meaning that 63 of his 116 plays prevented the opposition from achieving a "successful" outcome on the play (defined here as gaining 40 percent of the needed yardage for a first down on first down, 60 percent on second down, or 100 percent on third or fourth down); that figure was sixth among 4-3 middle linebackers. He has still some work to go as a pass defender and as a pass-rusher, but the Bills count on him primarily to be an elite run-stopper at linebacker. If he's not quite there yet, he very well may be after this season.

he has a degenerative knee condition. i am shocked how this has not been commented on more.

Why is Levitre starting with 1st team
rpcolosi replied to BeastMode54's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
levitre was the #1 rated guard (despite being a OT) in the draft on most boards, while wood was a top 3 center. worth noting. -
Ravens could dump Willis McGahee
rpcolosi replied to TOintheBLO's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
or its another win for Brandon....over a great GM in newsome no less. Spikes and holcomb for draft pick - W for brandon Willis for Draft Pick - W using those on stroud - W peters - ?? clearly he has been solid with NFL talent but he still has shown nothing in drafting. now either thats a sign John Guy does a good job scouting pro players or its a sign no one can evaluate college talent well. -
New Name For K-Gun in the Edwards Era
rpcolosi replied to Chief D's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
a common misnomer is that the K-gun is named after jim kelly. It was not and instead was really named after keith mckeller... -
' a rebuilding team can't afford to give up draft picks and good talent. yes we are rebuilding and yes we are not in a position to trade up in round 1 to the degree that was required for smith. we did fine in our draft. get some OTs next year.
