  1. Norv Turner would be a good coach with enough talent.
  2. Here is a link that explains it.
  3. Even the Jim Kelly led Bills had some awful games. Of course, those Bills would've crushed a team like the Rams by the end of the 1st quarter...
  4. No prob. I figured you were probably kidding...
  5. The Cover-2 is a very vanilla defense. It's a good defense to run when you jump out to a big lead or the other team's offense is fairly prone to self-inflicted hose-ups. If you are ahead, forcing the other team to march the length of the field slowly works to your advantage -- the clock runs fast and the game stays close or you can hang on. However, when the other team's offense has its A-game going, sitting in a vanilla defense is to their advantage. They can dictate run and pass at will, keep your defense on the field, burn the clock, and keep piling up points all while the Cover-2 is helpless to help itself.
  6. Are you being serious? The goal of any defense is to stop the opponent from scoring and get the ball back to the offense. A defense that let's an offense methodically matriculate the ball down the field for scores time and time again is actually the worst defense of all. It lets the opponent score and run huge chunks of time off the clock giving the team no chance at victory. By never taking any chances, the defense plays with one arm behind its own back and discards even the potential to make game changing defensive plays. Like an ostrich sticking its head in a hole hoping the bad thing goes away.
  7. It was a joke. And not. Just because a guy is huge (see Mike Rockwood) means nothing.
  8. I'm sure Bill in NYC missed this fact.
  9. But he gave up a sack. He sucks! Cut him now!
  10. Sounds like Jamie Nails with more hype.
  11. Steve Young says he doesn't remember him.
  12. Spacebook. I like that. Thanks, 89!
  13. Maybe he and Travis Henry can be cell mates.
  14. I heard he was trying to lose weight to play the bean pole in the school play.
  15. Jesus boy stuff? Yes, he is the only Christian in the NFL. His popularity (and no doubt his personal belief system is all about herd thinking) would increase greatly if he was Muslim.
  16. Are you being sarcastic?
  17. Trouble is that given Al's "tendencies" how many qualified coaches are even remotely interested in talking to him about the job there? I mean it isn't just that he's crazy and wants total authority; but, on top of firing a coach, he'll make self-contradictory claims to justify stiffing someone he fires. It's not just bad football, it's bad business. Shanahan and Kiffin should start a support group.
  18. What does Ditka know about dogs doin' leg humping?
  19. ...and fugtastic coaching!
  20. You compel easily.
  21. or protrude.
  22. It's stupid early, but the McKelvin/Corner/Cox picks have worked out fabulously well for the Bills so far. It lit an acetylene torch under Youboty's booty and has kept McGee and Greer on the hot seat to perfect their craft and not relax and backslide. The Bills have serviceable depth at the position and some options in the next couple of years so that don't have to panic and pay big money to a resume name like Troy Vincent.
  23. This is a complete fabrication. The Bills had 17 players on IR. Most were backups. Whatever works for ya. Here's some facts though. The talent in 2001 consisted of: Jim Miller, Marty Booker, Dez White, Anthony Thomas, Olin Kruetz, James Williams, Brian Urlacher, Rosevelt Colvin, Keith Traylor, Mike Brown, Daimon Shelton, RW McQuarters, David Terrell, Marcus Robinson, Leon Johnson, Paul Edinger, Brad Maynard, Shane Matthews, among others. The talent in 2002 consisted of: Jim Miller, Marty Booker, Dez White, Anthony Thomas, Olin Kruetz, James Williams, Brian Urlacher, Rosevelt Colvin, Keith Traylor, Mike Brown, Daimon Shelton, RW McQuarters, David Terrell, Marcus Robinson, Leon Johnson, Paul Edinger, Brad Maynard, Shane Matthews, among others. And the big difference between 2000 and 2001? Newly hired GM Jerry Angelo traded locker room cancer and starting QB project Cade McNown away for almost nothing.
