The Stephon Gilmore Wildcats.

Jairus Byrd played QB in high school too. Maybe he'll take some snaps.
-
I like thinking outside the box, though. Garrison Sanborn at free safety perhaps?

It would appear eball has a good eye: http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/OTA-Report---Day-6/85d66e09-1952-4ed0-a778-ea71e44f2f96

You've got to ask the question, if it's so strategically important for the NFL to have a franchise in the 2nd biggest media market in the country why is it taking so many years to act on? Clearly it's not really a priority of the league's ownership.
I think it's strategically more important for the NFL to have the THREAT of moving a team to LA more than actually having a team in LA. It gives existing teams all sorts of leverage. Look what just happened in Minnesota.
That said, when this topic pops up every 3-6 months or so, it's a serious bummer. My head says that, for many reasons, it won't happen. But my heart has that twinge of doubt and fear. As fans we have had our hearts ripped out of our chests and stomped on so many times before.

In addition to what everyone else has said, the Iggles took an offensive line coach, Juan Castillo, and made him their defensive coordinator, a move largely received with a resounding "WTF?"
We have yet to play a down with him as DC, but I think everyone can agree Wanny beats Juanny every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

I did read somewhere (sorry no link) that he was consistently whaling the hell out of the ball, out of the end zone, and had to be told to dial it back a little so the return guys could actually get some reps.
-
I just have to wonder what kind of "heart ailment" he could have had that only sidelined him for a year. Major surgery and rehab is one thing, but issues with the ticker are serious business. Any more medically inclined TBDers have any ideas? To my knowledge, exactly what he had going on was never made public, right?

Coaches don't know them by name yet
That makes sense, but wouldn't they do that for other new guys on the roster, besides the big names obviously. I think everyone knows who Mario is, but maybe not random waiver wire pickups.
-
So is the name on the helmet a rookie thing? Any purpose for it, or is it just so the vets know who to haze?
-
People, people. It's gotta be REPO MEN. When you don't pay attention to the bills, they come repossess your things.
Offseason nickname championship!

For all those who either don't get that KSK is a humor blog, or don't think they're funny in the first place, I submit this. A piece from today on the celebrity minority owners of the Miami LOLphins: Click here.

Did he give any signs of having character issues in college? If so, that may have taken him right off of Buddy's board regardless.
-
Yeah, it doesn't sound like money changes hands until the ticket actually changes hands. That seems even safer than eBay, and people buy and sell crap there all the time.
-
Just another idea of the media drumming up a story based solely upon their own beliefs and without any evidence. The Bills have stated Young was brought in only as a backup and we don't have a cagey FO or HC; they mean what they say. No reason to even pay attention to it.
Exactly. This story was going to be written no matter where Vince Young landed.

I think someone posted an article about this recently. Under the new CBA, 3rd rounders are actually becoming complicated to sign. Something about 1st and 2nd rounders being slotted and their salaries predictable. Then also something about 4-7 being quicker to negotiate with because they really don't get much at all, relatively speaking.
So 3rd rounders fall somewhere in the middle between "Gettin' PAID" and "Lucky to Be Here." While they don't end up making crazy money, they're scrapping for whatever they can get.

Golfing mechanics and throwing mechanics are not even close to the same things. Throwing is a much more natural motion and golfing goes against the natural kinetics of the body. I've never heard of a QB going David Duval one day.
You're right that golf and throwing mechanics are very different, but overhand throwing is NOT a natural motion, ask any orthopedic surgeon. Our arms are not designed to move that fast, in that direction, over and over and over again. It's why pitchers' shoulders and elbows always break down.
-
I don't know, pro athletes seem to tweak their mechanics all the time, especially pitchers and hitters in baseball. Sure, old habits are hard to break, but these aren't weekend warriors we're talking about. They're highly paid professionals who can put their entire focus into something as seemingly mundane as the angle of your arm in a throwing motion.
Sure, some of the pros are better at adjusting mechanics than others, but everything we know about Fitz says that he's not just smart. He's a humble guy with a good deal of humility who had to work against all kinds of lowered expectations to get where he is today. I don't think his ego will be getting in the way of adjusting his mechanics and improving his game.
-
If there's one thing Fitz is world class at, it's taking information and synthesizing it. Like how Chan has said he only ever needs to explain things to him once and he's got it down. (He's a pretty smart guy. Went to Harvard, dontcha know.)
If he can translate that to his mechanics in his work with Coach Lee, that can only mean good things.

“It’s not something I’m going to have to get used to, it’s just a number,” Williams said. “I look at it like it’s a new day, a new chapter in my career, so I’m changing things up a bit.”
Good for him. The superstition and attachment players have for numbers can be a little ridiculous sometimes.
-
I think what the new CBA allowed for was the third QB to be active on game day, not like before, when they could only come into the game due to injury. So, that makes it smart to carry a jack-of-all-trades QB like Smith, or even Teblow.
-
Ryan Fitzgibbons and Steve Young. Great QB tandem? Or GREATEST QB tandem?
-
Anyone go for the unlimited sales this morning? I wonder how close to selling out key games are, opener, Pats, the night game.
-
Yeah, my guy said July.
Brad Smith listed as QB

Smith will make the roster. Recall the new rule that allows three active QBs on game day. He can run, he can catch and presumably can throw in a pinch.
