Many moons ago, TOm Barasso had his 9-11 burned after a terrible Sabre performance/game. I wonder is these hoodlums in Leonis's cases are the offspring? Do you people remember the Barasso car burning?

haaaaaaaaaa

Added to the excellent play of the OL was great downfield blocking by OWENS. Any screen or 2nd level run depends on good blocking downfield. TO was a monster with that. And Nelson was good too. All in all -- they finally seem to know what they are doing upfront. I credit VAN PELT and better talent. They are ONE playmakere away on defense from benig a contender (need an impact LB).

I agree. Like the throwback in TENN many years ago -- these idiots did not coach when it counted. same on the two defensive stands with 5 minutes left. WHAT THE HELL COVERAGES were they in? April is a GREAT STs coach -- but that coverage needs to be tighter. BLAME JAURON IMO. like it or not -- he is the fall guy...

I like how all three stayed on their blocks. Jackson was able to get to the second level a few times. One time, there was a penalty by Bell - on a BIG RUN GAIN. I also like how Levitre gets nasty and goes after guys with some moxie. Wolfork is a load. And Levitre wore him down. In the senior bowl -- Levitre played left guard and was dominant. He is fast for a big fella -- he looks exactly like a denver bronco lineman 10 years ago. carbon copy...

These three played GREAT. Bell had some mental mistakes, but all in all, he was solid. He needs some experience, but the tools are there. He also needs to work on pass rush moves to the inside. he got burned a few times on those. He can handle the outside rush just fine. His run blocking was super. He has good drive and was out in front a ton. He can run like a deer. Levitre was SUPER. He literally picked up Wolfork a few times and moved him. He was absolutely GREAT. He protects well and on running plays was down field going after guys. He seals blocks off and uses great leverage. He is fast. In space -- he looked like an all pro IMO. He is going to be a dominate lineman. Wood (see Levitre). Plays like a 4 yr vet. Mean and stays on his blocks. Technique and balance and power are all there. He handled Javis Green with ease.

Sure, they will get beat. But damn it, lets see them, especially that young green OL, go out and knock some dicks in the dirt. No kitty football tonight. I want to see Butler going after guys after plays and Wood pancaking guys where he can. Solid blocking from the TE of choice will help... On DE, Mr. Maybin's time is here. GO BILLS!

TENN has one of the best defenses in the league --if not the best. no one can run on them

Ha, thanks buddy. For 12 years now -- I have been wrong with this team. I surpised they didnt cut Nic Harris -- that would be the norm for them.

no team in the league can boast depth. there is a shortage of LBs and def line player. as such, maybin needs to go where he is needed. the team still needs impact players. TD was the worst GM is the history of the team. he treid to get 53 average players -- as opposed to 40 average players and 13 IMPACT PLAYERS. Mike Williams bing a scrub did not help. But really, TDs guys were/ are average to below average at all positions. YOu cant win in the league without a 4-10 impact types on your team. they dont have to be 1st rounders. i think the bill finally changed their approach on this -- as evident by the promsing play of nic harris at LB and Frad Jackson (a free agent pick up) -- who is becoming an impact RB by any standard.

there is something to be said about changing the culture. trying to get rid of losing types and start fresh with kids who dont know any better. all in all, they got rid of a losing player (walker) -- who has never been a winning pro team. he was on a sad raider team first. this can either backfire or turn out to be brilliant. when it is brilliant -- often the talent and pedigree of the players are usually HIGH. GREEN BAY did this a few years ago and now has a dominant line. NE did it many years ago and is now dominates. you need to have good players to do it. this experiment should be interesting. drafting a RT next year would be awesome -- if BEll pans out.

Jerry Crafts was just seen at the Buffalo Airport with Ron Francis

yeah, "lg" -- usually means left guard. thus, no kidding he wouldnt ply lt (this means left tackle). he hurt his achilles game 4 of last season. that is a long time to recoup. also, that injury IS NO longer career theatening. i suppose you should ask the pats why they signed him -- i mean they dont do anything, right? actually, you know more than the pats front office, right? so, when they make a roster move -- you usually doubt it, yes? the moral of the story? bills should have signed him as ol (offensive line) depth.

i would like to see sage rosenfels come over in a trade. then let him run for his life behind this swiss cheese line. this line will have to be gritty and will learn quick during this long season. vince wolfork must be loving it.

simmons was a premier guard for pitt for many yrs. what is so funny? ne was smart to sign him. he would be a great lg for the bills. he is an emotional leader type. do you have anything substantive to say? or just giggling?
