  1. If we had 4 other lineman with Wood's talent, dedication and mindset I'd agree with him.
  2. Aren't DE's in a 3-4 alignment basically uncovered tackles?
  3. That's NEVER going to happen but holy crap would that put some asses in the seats!
  4. My dream 3-4 Johnson - Wilfork - Stroud Poz - Mitchell - McClain - Maybin That would be a FORMIDABLE group to block. Maybin coming off the edge the way Bryce Paup used to would be freaking frightening for opposing QB's!
  5. SLAP IN THE FACE If you offered the entire population of Buffalo the chance to go to Miami right now the city would look like Chernobyl this weekend .
  6. Apparently there's a lot of people here who haven't enjoyed the pleasure of the dreaded ankle sprain. That picture is pretty typical. I played volleyball in college and this is an absurdly common injury in volleyball and basketball. The biggest problem is that once you have a sprain like this it becomes a recurrent issue. At first sprain, if you tape the snot out of it to keep the swelling down you can still function fairly well. You have to rely on excessive tape or a brace like and AirCast to support the ankle but if you can just hold the swelling down you can play. The swelling takes away your mobility and ability to bend your foot and that's when it takes you out of the game. Essentially the swelling is the bodies way of saying "I'm shutting this joint down and you're not going to be moving it"! I'm not a tough guy by any standard. In a tournament I sprained my ankle, tried to be a tough guy and had it taped and played 4 more matches. I wound up with an evulsion fracture and was in a cast for a month.
  7. I'm willing to give Hardy one more year to prove something to me. If he can't keep his ass healthy and play at least 12 games then he's a total BUST!
  8. Apparently you've completely overlooked the fact that Nix has been hired to run the FOOTBALL operations NOT the organization. Sarcasm only works if you have your facts straight otherwise you just wind up looking stupid. Case in point.
  9. Here's an excellent article on DeHaven's return to Buffalo. Here's the part that SCREAMED to me: "Buddy Nix is a football guy, just wait and see," DeHaven said. "You don't have to take my word for it, but Buddy Nix knows football players. There are a lot of guys out there who know heights and weights and 40-yard times, but not all of those scouts can tell you whether the guy is a football player. Buddy Nix can." http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/story/943876.html
  10. That won't matter if he can't stay on the field and so far he hasn't proven he can. You put him behind out current OL and he'll be out before the end of the first game. Line first, QB second.
  11. Um, Phil didn't even play in SB 25. He got a ring standing on the sidelines.
  12. Most of the people on this site couldn't tell the difference between the Tampa 2 and the 46. This place is overrun with smacktards that hear something then spend the next 2 years parroting it without a clue as to what they're saying. Anonymous poster: "The Tampa 2 sucks" Oblivious idiot: "YEAH, the Tampa 2 sucks". As to the 4-3 to 3-4 discussion, I have to think that the current coaching staff understands the limitations of our current roster. Gailey specifically said he will tailor or schemes to fit our players and I just don't see Nix/Gailey going into this without a well thought out plan.
  13. They should rename it the Pro-Blow. I watched the first series for each side and turned it off. A for the NFC DT knocked someone on his ass and rather than proceed to the QB he stopped to help him up. That was enough for me.
  14. There's only 2 reasons they haven't announced the hiring yet. Their guy is either on a college team and they don't want to announce it prior to signing day (Wed) or he's on one of the teams in the SB. That's it, end of story. I'm also positive that whoever it is, he's being consulted on all the assistant coach hirings.
  15. If you watched the Senior Bowl Lefevour was the best QB on the field and it wasn't even close.
  16. Holy !@#$, Tebow IS Captain Checkdown!
  17. Tebow started and looked really mediocre. His arm strength is not impressive. The QB from WV has a cannon, reminds me a lot of Vick.
  18. Most players have a financial incentive in their contract that kicks in if they get named to the pro bowl. It's not an insignificant about and I've heard numbers in the $200,000 range. I doubt he'll get paid now......LOL.
  19. My favorite: "Gunna git me a shotgun and kill all the whitey's I see" - Garrett Morris
  20. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_City_Miracle
  21. Were you saying this when he was 5-1 last year? The fact of the matter is there was something in the guy that allowed him to lead the team to a 5-1 record. If he starts 5-1 this year would you still hold the opinion that he "sucks"?
  22. If Gailey holds an open competition between the 3 QB's on the roster and decides that Trent is the most talented then I have no problem with him being named the starter. No one was bitching about how much "Trent sucks" when the Bills were 5-1. For the first time in his career Trent has a head coach that has a !@#$ing clue how to run an offense. He also knows how do develop a quarterback. If he wins the job I'll hope and pray that he turns out to be great. Lets not forget, Favre and Young were run out off teams because they "sucked".
  23. One thing about Buddy, he speaks his mind and he doesn't care if you like what he says or if it's politically correct. In that article when discussing Gailey: "He adjusted to [Tyler] Thigpen. Give me a break. Then look at what happened to the offense after he left." It would have been better if he said "Tyler Freaking Thigpen"!
