Buffalo's reputation amongst free agents
clayboy54 replied to clayboy54's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Eifferts are from Fort Wayne, where I now live. Quite a few NFL players come out of here. Jalen and Rod Smith, Rod Woodson, Jason Fabini, and even the late James Hardy came from here. The top physical trainer here is a great friend and he also is the trainer of these guys during the off season. He is a former NCAA div 2 left tackle. I certainly don’t claim any inside clout at all. We do get to know and befriend some of these players and their families. That said, we always promote Buffalo and as long time fans, paint the best picture of the team and the community. You, my friend have made an interesting comment made to my wife yesterday into a poor effort at a personal attack when none is deserved. -

Buffalo's reputation amongst free agents
clayboy54 replied to clayboy54's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yeah, they’re pretty good friends actually. ? -
Just this morning, my wife was working out with Greg Eiffert (Tyler's dad). Of course, we always try to encourage opportunities to land quality free agents. Greg argued that the Bills facilities are the worst in the league. Why would Tyler want to go there, he asked. This is a good example of how poor the Bills reputation is among those players who have not spent time there. They just see the old stadium and assume everything else is outdated as well. We all know that is not at all the case. Going back to the Wilson regime, yes, it was the case. However, the Pegulas have spent a ton of money outfitting the facilities with state of the art technology. The is evidenced by the building of the new health and sports medicine facility that we learned about this past summer. I haven't been inside the facilities (except the fan-accessible portion) in many years, as I no longer reside in WNY. But, I do keep my eye on what's going on inside from my old friends that still work there. Sure the stadium is old and spartan. It supports the economy of the region. But the players' facilities are first-class. Here, we worry about attracting free agents with comments like "who will come to Buffalo if we cut so-and-so", etc. Realistically, it is far more important to express to the rest of the country that we are committed to providing the best training and rehab facilities rather than whether or not they should like cold weather. I found this very interesting. I'd enjoy hearing your comments.

Bills fire WR Coach Terry Robiskie
clayboy54 replied to Reed83HOF's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Do you really think they are just firing guys without a plan for a replacement? They just might have a better guy ready to take the job! -
They can’t afford the cost of a years supply of air horns.

I was honestly disappointed on draft night. I watched a lot of clips on all the prospects and hoped that Mayfield would fall to us. I think it was the attitude and "it" factor that Baker showed. Since that time, I have seen that "it" factor from JA. I have become a true believer based exclusively on that. I could care less about completion percentage defining "accuracy". Take for instance, Brett Favre. He's a HOF QB that didn't have pinpoint accuracy, was a prototypical gunslinger, and was unequivocally a winner. Josh has every ability to be a Brett Favre type as a minimum. His real ceiling above that will depend on his decision-making, ability to read defenses and continued work on mechanics. There is no doubt in my mind that he possesses the work ethic and desire to get there. The big caveat is that NFL football is the consummate team game. Will Beane and McDermott be able to build the championship-caliber team to support such a QB? This is what remains to be seen.

Texans at Jets: Saturday Afternoon Fever
clayboy54 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Watson is way too indecisive for me. He looks lost at times and while young, he’s no longer green. He should have better command out there in my opinion. He has a load of talent for sure. So does Josh Allen. -

I’d take Josh Allen over Watson any day of the week. -

Now that Benjamin is gone, Josh's completion percentage will go through the roof. Accuracy issues? What accuracy issues! -

Thoughts on Allen Pre Injury vs Post
clayboy54 replied to corta765's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I agree, and as others have said, it would be nice to see him stay in the pocket longer. However, there is no way our current O-line can support that wish. This is especially true now that we've lost Bodine for the year. It's a shame because the lack of pocket and staying in the pocket aren't on common ground in Bflo. That's like asking Allen to stand right here on this land mine. I'm afraid we can't expect him to be a pocket passer until we provide Josh an NFL quality O-line. -
Please guys... Just stop listening and he'll go away. Keep listening and he gets to stay. It's that simple.
