Poz was hurt so much, that I con't think that you can even count those years.....he only did 5 games one year, and there was another washout as well. As a brittle middle linbacker, we were better off with Poz elsewhere. I wonder how many games he has played at Jacksonville...any complete seasons?Neck? What neck?
Both go from jaw to shoulder. They don't have necks.
Either way, Kiko is really turning out to sounds like a great pick up assuming he can do the same in pads. I don't recall Poz being given as much responsibility until his 2nd or 3rd year.

Ugh....these guys did this for profit....they sold the recording to deadspin.com for $200. I don't know if they go to jail, but, not out of the question. And, they will be found guilty of illegal wiretapping, just a question of what sentence they draw.I loved how Nix got flamed here after falling for something he never should have expected. What those guys did was mad shady, immeasurably unethical and as we're about to find out, borderline illegal. I doubt they're found guilty of anything, though.

Only one vote counts....Dan Snyder.....the owner of the Redskins. And, Dan says he will not change....end of story. If the US Congressmen who recently ask him to change are offended, they need not patronize his events. Folks, the money talks. And, I do agree with Mr Snyder in this case.

Such analytical tools will take time to implement and grow in therms of use and validation of the techniques. That is unless you can steal somebody from another franchise that is already in this game using these tehcniques. (see Moneyball the movie) I believe they will get to the development of this tool asap, they are still shaking down the new organization. And, the new scouts are going to have to be amenable to this approach.....and if Whaley doesn't believe, this won't happen either.

No, just hand CJ the ball...don't make last years mistake.And then move CJ out of the backfield as another receiver. Who do you double-team?

OK, now I will list my 4 seats on the NFL ticket exchange.

In business, you can't be proud...a good idea whereever you get it!!!I'd rather have a good Buffalo way of doing things. Hate being a copy cat, or being even a percieved one.

I like that Whatley made these changes day 1, he knows what he wants to do, and he went and got the guys it takes to run it. Also, despite the non political correctness of getting folks you used to work with, it immediately puts the lines of communication in place with understanding at both ends. And, to be a great GM, Whately doesn't need to know it all, he just has to have people who do, and use them well. Good start!
No need to reinvent a process if you can copy one that works well. Good for him, a good idea whereever it comes from!I think the changes show Nix wasn't just a figurehead as some had speculated.
I thought Whaley's comment about Fisher was interesting, "...he knows the process that I'm going to implement." It sounds like Whaley's going to make the Bills scouting department run like the Steeler's scouting department.
-
Its Whatley's time, and I like he was in training for three years. Very corporate like, preparing the man, and he knows he is being prepared. Makes you pay attention if you know you have to carry the mail yourself in the near future.
-
I like that Buddy will be around to advise....Whatley can make the calls, but grey head advice is always useful, even if you reject it in the end. Did a lot of that in my corporate career, and it never hurt me, and helped many many times. Good Luck Buddy. And, time for Whatley to "saddle up"...good for him as well.
-
My guess...practice squad, activated after first injury to a WR. Would help his case if he could do something on special teams, but not likely, unless he can tackle. Never make him a TE...if anything, train him up and try to work on his speed.....teach him the moves and knowledge of a pro. But, I gotta tell ya, anybody who caught that many balls is already a pro in a certain sense. Anyhow, good to see a free agent drawing attention. As for DeRick Rogers, I wish him the best outcome, and am not betting against that man.
-
Did Easley return a kick for a touchdown last year? That was at least one play.....maybe that was preseason....can the board help me remember?The list is mostly predicated on fooling people through final cuts and then contributing zero. I guess that it should come as no surprise that these two are having a great spring!!

My experience in business (not football) is that when an individual gets a change of jobs, sometimes that individual blossoms into a swan (from an ugly duckling) Its just the circumstances. Hopefully both traded players find their stride in their new roles.

ACtually, I could see rookie wide receivers on the roster opening day. that would include Rogers, and the two drafted. Risky, but what is there to keep over them. Stevie, Brad Smith and the Graham. Six is about right.....The good news is, they were able to land him by telling him, "Look, we have 1 set starter at WR. You'll have a good chance at earning a spot on the roster here."
The bad news is, they were able to land him by telling him, "Look, we have 1 set starter at WR. You'll have a good chance at earning a spot on the roster here."

Manuel should start as soon as possible, but no sooner! Need the coaching staff to make that call, none of us here that smart. I remember the Bills staff of another decade ruining Todd Collins in Buffalo, but he lasted elsewhere in the league for 15 years. don't push the rook to fast in my view.
-
Smith was not yet a pro in the eyes of the assessors. That was the bottom line in the article. Come on, if you want somebody to pick you in the first round, you don't go off with your electronic toys when in their presence. Lacking judgement and comprehension of the situation.
-
The problem with the Peters situation was that he had 3 years left on a contract. Folks, when you sign, you are bound. Peters and Parker weaseled out.....I would not allow that in any circumstances. Its a manhood thing in my view. Byrd situation is different...no contract....but thye tag thing. He is trying to weasel that situation.....I wouldn't allow it myself......We should all hope like hell that Byrd is thought of like Jason Peters in 2010.
Parker and Peters thought Peters should be paid the going rate for top LTs. That number was 10m. They would have gladly signed with the Bills for that amount, which was about the third most at the time. Jake Long was 11 I think. I can't recall who else made a little more than 10. The Bills were only willing to pay 9m, so they traded to Philly who was willing to pay him the 3rd best in the league.
If the Bills are willing to pay Byrd the going rate and the 3rd best S contract in the league right now, which is what he deserves by being his contract year at this point in his career, then we have him locked up for 5+ years.
You should all hope it plays out like Jason Peters, except this time the team pays the going rate. I know I do.
-
Yep, with Parker as the agent, let Byrd sit out the season, no more trades like the Peters deal. Don't let Parker drive a trade....let Byrd pay the price for having such tactics in play. by the way, if he sits out, he still has a contract in force, I think.....doesn't clear out the tag he has.....worse scenrio, he shows up 3 days before the first regular season game, then he has to be inactive since he can't play the D, which is new. But, you could put him on special teams.....heh heh.No doubt Eugene Parker is playing the same game with Byrd as he did with Peters. If so, I hope the Bills let Byrd sit and rot. If he will not sign the tender, let him sit. They will still own his rights come next year. I would love to keep him, but they should not allow themselves to be held hostage.

It will take a year for everybody to learn Pettine's system. I don't hopes for early success. I remember being 4-3, the 3-4, then 4-3, now 3-4 again. Nobody doing what they did last year. That spells mistakes and poor results. I hope I am surprised, but franchise stability is required to have top notch offensive and defensive systems. Rookie mistakes from everybody next year.

Fitz had a 48, look what that got us.

Actually, some could argue that they are baredly able to function at all. And, others would say they do not function even now!agree

Easier to answer after the schedule comes out.

Yes, my son was in Pittsburg for two years, and tried to go with his Bills jersey on....BIG mistake. Steelers fans are not tolerant of other fans, and my son never wore his again in Pittsburg. ON the other hand, went to Baltimore a couple of years ago, and things were fine in the Ravens stadium. As for the comments on the JETs, would NOT wear Bills gear to the JEts/Giants facility...crowd is mostly mentally ill, and an incident is likely.Steelers preseason game years ago....I caught some flak on the trolley, the city bus, using the restroom and got a full can of beer thrown at me in the parking lot. Would I do it again? Absolutely.
As for Buffalo, except for a few drunks, the fans are tolerant of other Jerseys. (I am a season ticket holder)

Well, in our group, I have to drive, so I get one before we eat, and then I am on soda. That is our version of a DD. Sorry I can't be a big hitter like all the brave talk here.
Bills sign WR DeMarco Sampson

This one makes my head hurt a little. they have a lot of receivers, and many of them are their pickups...meaning they are at least somewhat invested in these guys. So, this pickup has another source.....maybe looking for receivers that can do practice squad....or maybe they have already written off Kaufmann because of lack of speed. And Smith and Easley. Easley was a 4 pick, but missing all that time...and likely no longer practice squad elgible.....anyhow this new signee would ,at least , be practice squad elgible. Could also be that the Bills have some insight that we don't know, Maybe Whaley likes this guy, or scouted him, or something.
