Buffaloed in Pa

Damn ,I almost puked. No supper tonight....Thanks buddy.

That damn bird chirping song from the 70`s . Lovin you ,I think it was called. turned the dial as fast as humanly possible. I hate that song.

Like father,like son.

Yeah ,we would have liked to see one of the other Bands coming up,Heart,Steve Miller,a couple other ones. We went not knowing about the bands at the artpark. Nice little town. We sat on the grass on the side hill by the trees. Funny thing at the main fort we were looking in the rooms on the second floor and there lying on a bed was a big old cat. At first we thought it was stuffed. Would not even move. I let out a couple kitty,kitties, and its tail moved. Thought maybe it was a ghost cat.LOL.

I`m Baaaack. Had a goodtime. Went all over the place Falls, Lewiston, Ted`s hotdogs,Grand Island, Stadium store at the Ralph. McKinley Mall,a couple Topps stores. Had to bring some Sahlens home. Went to the Yes and Procol Harem concert in Lewiston.Not a big fan of either,but it was something to do. Ate at the Silo,I thought it was pretty decent. Should not have gotten chili sauce on my dog at Teds,couldn`t taste the dog,just the sauce. The N.Y. falls view I thought was pretty good. Although the tourist part does not compare to our neighbors side. Picked up a few Bills Items,drank a few Molsons and got some Hortons donuts. Back on my little 30 acre spot in Clearfield County Pa. Thanks everyone for the info. Had a goodtime. Oh yeah the Fort was cool. But the weather was hot. My poor wife sweated that Fort thing out.

Anything besides the falls there ? Fort Niagara worth seeing? Thanks

yeah ,I grew up on aldridge and whitfield . Both off of S.Park Ave. Irish pub or bar on every other ave. on s.park. I did go to caz park a few times.Played in leagues at Tosh Collins . The Irish were drinkers and fighters ,for the most part in my neighbor hood. We had fun though playing football anywhere we could find some grass or in the street. Lots of footballs hiting wires and cars. Street hockey just started in my teens. Glory Days.

Their really isn`t a # 2 receiver in Chans offense. 4 and 5 wide sets,hit who is open. Our receivers are just fine. We have size and speed receivers. It`s all on Fitz. MLB is the spot that scares me.

I can tell you one thing. Their not Irish.

Food channel ?

I grew up in S. Buffalo in the 60`s and early 70`s. It was mostly shanty Irish. Went to S. park high. Now when I drive from lackawanna through S. Buffalo down S. park avenue. I wanna puke. What a slum this place has become.

South Park Ave. from Lackawanna to the end of S.Buffalo. A real slum area. Growing up in that area,and now driving through. One thing we say. Rollum up. Damn that place is nasty.

Bottom line,he`s not great. But I`ve seen a hell of a lot worse. Plays the run good. Always a step away as a pass rusher.

I can visit and not live there. South Park Ave. What a dirt hole S. Buffalo has become since I was a kid. Still love the Bills .

More linebackers,This is the weakest link on the team.

Linebackers,linebackers,linebackers.

All I can say is with that D-line in front of him and he struggles or we struggle against the run up the gut,a change will happen. Who then will step in? What if he gets hurt? I still would like a vet ILB around.

I liked Davis against the run. Got rid of him because of age. Torbor I didn`t like at all. Did you read Shep`s reviews ? The Negs were dead on from what I saw last year.

From the sites I seen ,just now the bads were as not aggressive,not good at reads, not good at coverage, not physical,doesn`t shed blocks.More bad than good.These are things I saw last year. So keep on ripping. I call it like I see it. He needs alot of work,lets see how this staff coaches him up. Like I said .If he is our pick I want him to do well. Look him up on google or yahoo, for his scouting reports. Go Bills geesh. I still think no exp at this ILB core is risky.

WHAT were Sheppards weakness coming out of colledge? Pre draft scouting report?

Just like I said run and Hit. Hoping . His weakness running and hitting. Didn`t say he will be a force this year. Didn`t say we were solid in the middle with him. Just said he was hoping for Shep to get better at running and hitting. Like I said before I too hope he gets better,since he is the pick to start.

I hope . He was a rookie with no exp. He was part of the reason for being one of worst teams against the run. I think Davis was much better against the run. I know about the Kyle injury on the line, and I still think Davis was better. Shep doesn`t run all that good. This was one of the pre draft knocks on him. Out of what we have there at ILB he is the best. But we don`t have much. Look on the Kyle Williams on Serius post. There is a little there.

Yeah well year after year of a ILB that makes tackles after a 4-5 yd gain gets old. We need a backer that comes up in the hole to make tackles. Is Sheppard this type? Time will tell. I guess thats why the Ray Lewis types are so hard to find. Can`t teach it. It has to be there.

It`s about the whole ILB core. And yeah until I see Sheppard the leopard bring it. I will be skeptical of his play . Even Kyle Williams commented about his concern of Sheppards developement on running and hitting people. I watched every game last year,and Sheppard stood out as a glaring weakness.Not shedding blocks,filling holes and yes slow chasing down plays.Shedding blocks and filling holes are things you learn in High School. I can see bad reads and things. But coming up and smacking a rb in the face or using hands and quickness to shed blocks should be there already. I really hope he comes on. I really do.

Who goes outside then? Moats, Nigel the rookie. No depth at Olb either. Batten, Moats don`t play outside backer 4-3 style very good. I can see next year the Lb draft.
