People stop getting fixated on the "position" of RB. In the more important "position" of playmaker we have POOR depth. He plays a little bit faster the Bush. Bush looks "flashier" on tape in college. But CJ has great moves too - football moves - just one hard cut and go.

Agree with previous post. And Russ Lande ? You mean the guy who think Crompton QB from Tenn is the 2nd best QB in the draft? And Lande thinks Crompton will be a great starting QB? Crompton is sooo bad it is not even funny. It is like hearing Tate Forcier QB from Michigan (5'11" 175) is going to be a star in the NFL. Please. Asked why Lande thinks so highly of Crompton his main reasoning was that he improved. OK so if you improved from 1/10 to a 3/10 you still suck even though you improved. Why would I take a 3/10 prospect over a 9/10 prospect? Stupid over-thinking logic

For those who wanted McNabb but don't want Campbell
balln replied to BobbyC81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Not similar. McNabb threw 2 more TD's, 5 less INTs, took 8 less sacks. And W-L is drastically different. -
Uhh #28 out of 32 is not mid round. That is late first round. He was projected to go there or early second round. He is your best OL'man. It is a bout building a team. You can't take only certain positions based on what round it is. Take good players period.

UPDATED: Tim Tebow, QB, Denver Broncos
balln replied to Kingfish's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Kerry Collins has really really solid mechanics throwing a football. High elbow. Over the top. Perfect release/spiral. "Hitch" - that is Tebow or Byron Leftwich. Also led Giants to a Super Bowl appearance. And a 13-3 Titans record last season when he was mad old. -
With our new GM wanting a big, rough team
balln replied to scribo's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Where are you getting your OP from? Nix never said he wanted a big rough team in his press conference. -
Ok Marv was a HC, never had 30 years of scouting/assistant GM experience like Nix. Levy came in to hire the HC for Ralph. He might have had some kind of role in supervising picks - but he wasnt evaluating and making picks. Don't compare the two. I mostly agree with your other points.

Dude are you watching the game? Their kicker and punter are hurt. They are using a D-lineman to kickoff. -

I don't know what you're referencing. Do better. Their O-line doesn't block anyone. -
Bills-Falcons Official Game Thread

Yes agreed. Lynch is too talented not to see touches. Jackson 25 touches. Lynch 20 touches. Done. -

Bills-Falcons Official Game Thread
balln replied to San Jose Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What are ya'll talking about. Prevent D is two high safeties deep. I see a lot of BASE D with a true SS. Brohm looks pretty good for not playing in an NFL game before, not being with this team in training camp, and having this terrible O-Line. A lot of positives. -
Patriots-Bills to be blacked out in Western New York?
balln replied to gsf101's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No. The Sunday Night Crew only does 16 games, not 17 games. They dont do the last Sunday of the season. -
No way Cody goes before McCoy. Cody is not an everydown player. He should go in the 20's. I want to see the Bills get McClain or McCoy. Or the OLB from TCU. Also the DE from GaTech is a freak athlete pass rusher. Hes huge fast and has rush moves.
-
Yes agreed- saying he will never be ed reed, troy, or sanders means that he is a bust given that he was selected #8 overall. You need to revisit your definition of a bust.
-
Are you serious? Right the Chiefs 2nd (or even 3rd) string RB makes one devastating move and blows right past Whitner (pulls away actually) and its OK? Dude Troy Polamalu or Bob Sanders makes that tackle 10/10 times. Sorry when my team picks a S w/ the #8 pick those are my expectations. He has to come upfield alot faster (watch when he makes open field tackles he just stands still moving his feet up and down) and just be able to be athletic enough to not get juked and then get outran (poorly). I think you see Drayton Florence (whos big and physical and is not fast) catch up to both of them - so I have a good measuring stick for comparison. Whitner is slow - not good enough of a ball hawk to play FS (and not good enough open field tackler) and too small to play SS (cant cover TEs and gets run over by RBs too much). Lets be honest - George Wilson makes wayyyyy more plays than Whitner. Scott makes way morrre plays. And of course Byrd. He is not a nickel cover guy either. He is a backup. A lot of Bills players (defense) are backups.

Yes by far the Buffalo Bills best offensive lineman is Brad Butler. Solid and consistent. How many holding penalties or false starts. How many sacks given up? Butler at RT, Hang (w/ Levitre and wood at g's he is more than avg) at C. Wood RG, Levitre at LG. You pick up a LT in 1st round or FA. You have Meredith (who I think has more potential than Bell - b/c i dont think Bell will pan out), Bell, and Scott as backups --> not too bad backup crew I think. I would still draft OL later in the draft b/c these guys get hurt so much during the season. Absolutely can not have Fitz as your starting QB beginning next season. I don't think they will be able to get Locker or Clausen - maybe Bradford. You go out and try and find a legit starting QB in FA - knowing that your real "starter" whom you will groom until the starter sucks or the rookie is ready is the guy you draft. i am thinking about Vick - 2 yr contract, 8 mill. Done. he is wayyyy better than anything we have (hes not a franchise QB) but you have two good RBs, good enough WRs - I would sign TO 1 yr 5-6 mill too, and presumably a good OL. Offense should be good enough to take run at the playoffs - plus we have bradford or pike learning. The D- we need LBs and DTs. And we need playmakers at those positions. Mcclain ILB from bama. Mccoy DT from Oklahoma. Or the OLB from TCU who is a great pass rusher. These guys are top ten picks - so LT may have to wait. i say if OKung is off the board you go d-fense (assuming clausen, locker are off the board).

Bills should draft 5th this year if we
balln replied to oregonbbfan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Mmmm there is no way the bills are getting a really good (on paper) QB. Rams and Browns will def pick before the bills and def will get locker or clausen. Bucs will absolutely pick Suh. I believe they went back to their tampa-2/43 defense. You are not going to reach (hopefully they wont reach) for McCoy,Bradford, Mallet, TEBOW in the 1st round. Bills will be looking at OL/DL/LB I think where they will pick around 6-11. Mcclain LB from bama, Okung T from Okstate or the T from Oklahoma, and the DL Cody from bama or DL kid from Oklahoma. -
Well he showed emotion - got in refs faces all good things. But very Jauron like time-management and missed challenge. That was a fumble and it could have won the game for the team. Sorry he doesnt get a pass just because its nice not to look at DJ
-
I don't give coaches a buffer just because its his first game. OP is right. Uhh what about the non-challenge of that fumble by Holt? OMGGGGGG even if you don't win it (you have 3 TOs) it has to be made. It was a fumble by the way. Its the final drive of the 4th quarter and a big play. Your players thought enough to pick it up. Refs were super quick to say its down (which tells me its iffy). HAVE TO HAVE TO challenge. The bills get the ball. And run out the clock. Maybe Jax has 10 secs for a hail mary. But yea his 1st half clock management. terrible
-
Case Keenum. QB from Houston. Best pro prospect. Fiery, athletic, looks like Jim Kelly to me. I didn't even look at his stats until now: http://espn.go.com/college-football/statis.../_/stat/passing Just watch him play. Enough said. Oh hes 6'2" 210
-
What are you talking about? Ellison got hurt he plays strong side. Draft plays weak side. Now to fill in for Ellison, Nic Harris is in. The Bills play a lot of nickel so they only have two LBs in (poz and prob draft/harris)
-
Uhhh that was a terribly inaccurate pass to TO - and he is blowing by DB's and our QBs cant throw him an accurate pass. Our OL is bad too- but its the QBs
-
So... maybe Edwards is the problem?
balln replied to Glass To The Arson's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think we need to keep in mind that our D had 6 INT's. I think a healthy Edwards we put up more points (not saying more TDs) and win in regulation. Just to contrast, though Fitz made a point to get the ball the WRs. -
one thing is clear - fitz is making an effort to get the ball out fast and to his WRs ! how many times has he targeted evans and TO? Striking difference from edwards. fitz isnt that good - im just saying its nice
