If the Bills outright let him go, how many serious offers would he get to compete for a starting job?

I don't think we need a 12 game/year slightly above average LT for $4 Mill. Can't we get someone else?

Is this guy an upgrade or downgrade from Jennings. And why is Jennings going to get some mega-deal? He did have a nice year this year, a "contract" year, and had a couple nice games.

I really think we need to draft some talent, not free agents or converted left tackles. If TD can't get some talent in the second day of the draft, something is wrong.

We've been talking about how much Bledsoe is hurting the team for three seasons now. He hurts more than he helps and absolutely disappears in big games. He had a career year, 73 QB rating. That is his average. Enough talk, he is done and has been for some time.

He has career "73" QB rating. That's pretty average.

I read somewhere that Mauck was the O-line coach for two or three seasons where his team led the in sacks. One of the years was with the Bills, but that was not the last team leading league in sacks.

I once pulled two rat-like hairs out of the side of my chest. They weren't growing there, they were just polking out through the skin like they were implanted.

Hey, an 8-8 QB is better than what they had this year. No? Wouldn't this improve them instantly?

Too obvious???

Seriously, trade both Bledsoe and Henry to Miama in a package deal. We could move both those guys and get some value and future draft picks.

TD is trying to "help" TH like New England was trying to "help" us by trading us Bledsoe. See Super Bowls won.

He is only worth what you can get for him. A second round pick, mid-to-high round sounds fine to me if TD doesn't find a way to throw it away.

That is what I'm talking about. You simply don't reach for a guy like Denney, trade away a pick to move up eight spots for a guy in the second round. Buffalo was coming off a 3-13 season and correctly going through a roster purge. You need as many quality value picks , best-player-available types, to have as many chances as possible to rebuild your roster with solid players. Add to that Denney coming from BYU and being two years older than a normal draftee, and you are asking for problems. The draft is a game of chance, so why stack the deck against yourself?

He appeared in twelve games and had 16 catches. Were his hands injured?

I don't know. This was his 3rd year. He had 16 catches all year, and I bet about half as many drops.

Wrong again. This was his 3rd season, and he is 27 years old. That is the other problem I had with this pick. Sorry about using facts or stats.

Oh, OK. Now it all makes sense. So the Bills coaches don't start him or play him in passing situtions because they don't need him to rush the passer and his first step slowness is actually good?

My point is that TD reached for him in that round, trading up to get him thinking he was getting over on Pittsburg I believe. After a 3-13 season and then drafted another LDE. Guess we really showed them. Do you think Denney would still be on the roster if Pittsburg did get him. He was a bad selection that high. I don't blame him, not his fault. TD selected him there.

OK, fifteen tackles for the season? Stats from NFL.COM So he does start, can't rush the passer, and had 15 tackles?

Yes I am. The Alaska responder is implying I don't know what I am talking about because I don't know the scheme or a player responsibility. Does Denney? Rush the passer? Try him at TE to try and get something out of him. I know that Denney is a 2nd round pick that isn't starting and TD drafted another LDE to replace him.

Hey, tell TD. If Denney is such a find in the second round, why is he not starting and why did TD draft ANOTHER LDE in a subsequent draft? Just the facts.

I think you are way off. Reed - Gone Wire - Gone Denney - ? Bannan - Gone Pucillo - Gone Not seeing below on the roster: 7b.^ Rodney Wright WR Fresno State (250) 7c.^ Jarrett Ferguson FB Virginia Tech (252) 7d.^ Dominique Stevenson LB Tennessee (260)

Sorry Mr. Denney. Your son was a great 2nd round pick and excellent value selected in that position.

We have 4'th pick overall right tackle who is adequate is guess. And Kevin Thomas is OK as a nickel back. http://www.billsdaily.com/gameday/ The rest of these guys could be gone. And remember, this was a draft where Buffalo was coming off a 3-13 season. We dtafted very high and that was not the time to reach. 1. Mike Williams T Texas (4) 2a. Josh Reed WR LSU (36) 2b. Ryan Denney DE BYU 3.^ Coy Wire S Stanford (97) 5. Justin Bannan DT Colorado (139) 6. Kevin Thomas CB UNLV (176) 7a. Mike Pucillo G/C Auburn (215) 7b.^ Rodney Wright WR Fresno State (250) 7c.^ Jarrett Ferguson FB Virginia Tech (252) 7d.^ Dominique Stevenson LB Tennessee (260)
