i love that its maybe against hamdan. whats that tell ya? he's playing 2/3rd stringers. he better friggin dominate those guys. wow. great move branon...

its the nfl. there are only 16 games. that should sum it all up.

and most of those were great college linemen. smells like a 53 man roster cut to me.

YES an under 300lb guard. how under sized can we go?

pretty sure mckinney wasn't on the team last year. and chambers was a backup tackle. just don't post anymore... thanks

it probably means we are upgrading the ralph again....OR it means toronto is kicking the tires on building a new stadium which would be necessary before buying the bills. again, buffalo will NOT build a new stadium for the bills. no one has the $$$ for it, including all 3 levels of government in this region. no one wants to hear it, but thats more logical than WNY getting a waterfront dome.

if ralph could only hit a home run like this when it comes to our current GM...

finally someone with some evidence. there was also an article in the toronto star about them possibly going after the Rams. Heck if this happened, the bills would receive some type of compensation I'd think, and it would allow for Golisano or someone else to still compete once the team is up for sale. all this said, the most likely spot for the rams is LA. They have had poor attendance figures for awhile now, so I wouldn't be totally shocked to see them go back to LA. Unless Toronto is really going to up their anti for the team. I still don' think it cuts into the Bills that much, mostly because the Bills fans we currently have are in Ft. Erie, Niagara, Hamilton, etc. And from reading posts on here, it seems that Buffalo is far more fan friendly for tailgating and making it an 'event' than toronto is to open public drinking. but hey this is all jsut my opinion...

nothing revolutionary in this post... who knows, we'll find out at the end of the season but when was the last time the bills FO pulled a 'fast one' ? when polian traded for cornelius bennett and that was awhile ago.

he played a lot from a down lineman position which is where most of his sacks came from. 3-4's often use 4 down in pass rushing situations. thats what happened with him. He is a natural DE, not an OLB, and he doesn't want to be an OLB in a 3-4. this gives us a slight advantage of NE since they need a much bigger DE for a 3-4 if they used him at end. lets hope we can out bid these guys: http://www.daytondailynews.com/blogs/conte...r_de_ellis.html

see the prior greg ellis thread.

i've never heard that. because he was cut prior to making the roster his contract shouldn't be guaranteed. in addition, he was a june 1st cut in order to save roster bonus $$. I am pretty sure the cowboys aren't on the hook for anything, and the 1.5mil you are referring to is instead the owed or pro-rated portion of his SB that will go towards the Cap number for the cowboys... maybe you are talking about something different that I don't know about, but if so, please post where you got that from. all this said, maybin is not moving to OLB on our team since his coverage skills are not why signed him, and Ellis playing over maybin for a year or two would be a good thing. I am a huge proponent of rookies not seeing the field at first because it gives them a lot of time to develop, but teams hate to pay guys to ride the pine. the only problem is, it works to sit them and have them learn . signing ellis would also make kelsay/denny better in that they play less...

ugh if tim is even right about this one.... http://myespn.go.com/blogs/afceast

sorry about that mod - didn't see the other link up already.

This is a player who'd be a terrific addition at LDE. he is undersized enough for DJ to like him as an end, though I don't know how well he'd rush the passer being an end over an OLB in a 3-4. Either way he's a solid player that be good for a 2year deal. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4224851 and his scouts inc info: Grade: 75 | Key Alert: None Comment: Ellis is 10-year veteran with very good size and adequate speed and quickness. He reacts quickly to the run. He has good size and strength to maintain effective hand use. He has long arms to stack and shed. He will get upright with his pad level, but has good strength and balance to keep his feet. He's a former defensive end who understands leverage. He can play physical and get off blocks with good timing. He is still quick enough to work his feet and re-gain outside leverage. He is also quick enough to contain and force running backs back inside. He has adequate acceleration in space with good effort to pursue from behind. As a pass rusher, the Cowboys will bring him off the edge from a three-point stance where he has good success recording sacks when his hand is on the ground. He has strength in his upper body to re-work his hands inside then react off of the offensive tackle's technique. He's physical with his hands and works to finish. He is also strong with the ability to rip inside-out. He has a variety of pass-rush moves including spins and counters. He does a good job turning speed to power. He will get upright on counter moves, but comes hard inside and has strength into traffic. He has some limitations in coverage due to his lack of burst in space. He will stall changing direction and lack the quickness to break down consistently, when isolated.

people are idiots. they have a contract with the bills. unless ralph chooses to break it, and i do not think he will, then there is no chance that the Rogers group could even talk to the STL team estate about buying it.

when u have team that is probably a 4th place team and a team probably a 1st place team in the division, the choice is obvious. shockingly, the best thing we have going for us is jauron in this case because so many players love playing for him. that said, this guy is a bear by tonight or tomorrow, guaranteed.

exactly. I want 'high motor' guys that contribute to the dead locker room atmosphere jim kelly was talking about lately. anyone who's playing on a sports team knows you need a good balance - guys who are the goof ball/pranksters to keep it loose, guys who are the consummate hard workers and are quite and steady, and guys who are vocal leaders that can call out a teammates productivity or lack there of. we do NOT have the latter type from what it sounds like, and i'm glad TO has the balls and numbers to do it. we haven't had a player like that since moulds, spikes and fletcher. sure TO isn't the preacher type fletcher is, but ill take a successful guy to help call out other people!

wow way to judge a guy based on 3 t shirt practices... also this is the same writer who is all about hte bills getting michael vick and saying we need to sell more tickets (um we have sold out how many games straight now?). this article and writer is bull s__t. but orakpo will probably be better than maybin regardless.

i love the bobby april idea. I think the guy would make a stellar head coach. He's got balls to do some tricky stuff but his players are always solid on the basics. I really think the dude knows the game of football well, not just special teams. It be interesting to see if they give him a shot or not. My personal thought is we do start out 2-4 or 3-5 at the break and dick's long gone. with the big 4 of holmgren, cowher, gruden and shanny out there, I'd hope to God that Ralph bite the bullet and pays up for them. Cowher is the obvious #1 and the others are all #2's.... but who knows..

hey dude, they are just dogs. lots of babies killed by abortions every day, but i am assuming you have far more interaction with dogs licking you and touching you then actual humans doing anything positive or beneficial for ya. PETA and that whole group needs to chill a little bit. when dogs become more important than a human life, thats a horrible flaw in our society.... maybe worth re-thinking your priorities?

can everyone who thinks hes a bust use some intelligence? its a known fact most WRs are not good their first year. look at eric moulds please or Chad Johnson or most good WRs. It takes 2-3 years, and for Hardy look closer to 3 due to the injury and having a HOF replace him for the time being. Lee had a good first year by most standards, but that is rare. look at these GREAT receivers down below. a lot didnt even START as WRs but were RT their first year. so use some intelligence dont just label a dude a bust because you were expecting the second coming of Randy Moss in year one... http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MoulEr00.htm http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/J/JohnCh01.htm http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/S/SmitJi00.htm http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HousTJ00.htm http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/S/SmitSt01.htm http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HardJa00.htm

funy - if skip knew anything he'd know we have one of the best attendance figures in the league. guy is a moron, alwaysh as been and always will be.

i totally agree. the man is the ONLY reason they are i buffalo. if you are too young and immature to appreciate ALL he has done, which includes providing us with 4 straight super bowl appearances and a connection to the other big cities in America, then do NOT show up to the HOF ceremony and do NOT attend a bills game....

good article by carruci: http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d8...mp;confirm=true I am curious how April will combat this. he is smart so i trust him but this will greatly nullify the only thing Roscoe really does well. I can't blame us for trying to trade him at this point especially with this rule change.
