  1. Came to play Has his game face on Brought their a game Game of inches War of attrition Giving 110%
  2. I was a Rams fan growing up in Rochester (until my best friend brought me to a post strike preseason game and I was hooked.
  3. They also said the same thing for Hyde. They said who's Jordan Poyer? He will thrive in this system, believe that.
  4. Thomas no but Sanders all day as far as a FA pickup. But either would be costly.
  5. I'm watching Foster closely during TC. He flashed some signs but we'll see. #jetsweep
  6. That was a rough year after wide right.
  7. Wide right, seeing Kevin Everett walking around on Oprah.
  8. Haters gonna hate. He had a great show and was so much more mellow thoughtful and informative than his morning or afternoon counterparts. None of you know the whole story, not many of us will. Radio pays crap and he will have a much better chance to make a living somewhere else. Good for him. It's probably been a long time in the making. I'll miss him, I looked forward to his tempered takes that stood in contrast to Howard and Jeremy's caffiene fueled blather and I just can't listen to Schopp and the BD, they are awful. Ho hum, I'll stick to sports talk Saturday now.
  9. So i broke down the draft and this is what I came up with as far as the depth per position (and listed the free agent market after that). Remember this is just my estimate of the depth by looking at round projections in the draft and it would not be complete without a look at the free agent market, so i included the depth of free agents by contract value on Spotrac.com. It's all on a 5 point scale, and by our needs at this point (WR, RB, TE, C, G, T, OLB, DT, CB) I think we're OK at S, ILB, DE, FB, QB for now. I included notable names with each entry. WR: 4 (5 in rd1, 8 in rd2, 2 in rd3, 3 in rd4) - Brown, Johnson, Richards, Samuel, etc. RB: 2.5 (2 in rd1, 4 in rd2, 2 in rd3, 9 in rd4) - Love, Harris, Scott, Snell, etc. TE: 1.5 (0 in rd1, 3 in rd2, 2 in rd3, 5 in rd4) - Wilson, Petite, Conrad OC: 2 (1 in rd1, 2 in rd2, 1 in rd3, 10 in rd4) - Jenkins, Risner, Burkett OG: 2 (0 in rd1, 1 in rd2, 7 in rd3, 8 in rd4) - Benschwazel, Bars, Piersbarshger OT: 4 (3 in rd1, 6 in rd2, 5 in rd3, 6 in rd4) - Adams, Williams, Little OLB: 4 (5 in rd1, 8 in rd2, 2 in rd3, 3 in rd4) - Allen, Jennings, Burns DT: 4 (5 in rd1, 8 in rd2, 2 in rd3, 3 in rd4) - Lawrence, Oliver, Gary CB: 3.5 (5 in rd1, 8 in rd2, 2 in rd3, 3 in rd4) - Baker, Beal, Jackson, etc. Edge: 4 (5 in rd1, 8 in rd2, 2 in rd3, 3 in rd4) - Bosa, Ferrell, Jackson Free Agents WR: 2.75 - Fitzgerald, Cobb, Moncrief RB: 2.75 - Bell, Murray, Lynch TE: 3.5 - Walker, Eifert, Cook C - 3.75 - Kalil, Jones, Easton G: 4.5 - Iupati, Levitre, Saffold OT: 4.5 - Brown, Veldheer, Massie OLB: 4 - Matthews, Orakpo, Morgan DT: 4 - Suh, Atkins, Richardson CB: 3.25 - Jackson, Grimes, Claiborne Edge: 4 - Ansah, Lawrence, Wake Again, it's really freaking early but I can see us reaching for a RB, getting another WR in the early rounds, building off of Edmunds and getting an OLB in rds 1-3, passing on a lot of olinemen (the draft is really sparse at this point except for tackle) and signing a lot of FA o linemen and probably overpaying a little bit. But definitely not Whaley type of overpaying. And I'd love to see Delanie Walker in a Bills uniform. Man, this is going to be a long off season. Less than 100 days to kickoff though!
  10. And I worry about wear and tear on Alabama RBs and defensive players. I hope they don't run him into the ground this season because I can see us reaching for him in the late first or in the 2nd. That's not a very deep FA class next year. I gave it a 3.25 out of five, compared with the guards and tackles are a 4.5 out of 5 - I can see us blowing a lot of all that cap space next year on olinemen. However the WR rookie class is very deep, there are 5 guys with a first round grade, a whopping 8 with a 2nd round grade and then 2 with a 3rd round grade and 3 with a 4th. It would be a good year to go out and get a wideout if Zay doesn't perform. Although I think he will make a big leap forward.
  11. I downloaded the Cover 1 app and there are some great articles and links on there and their podcasts are excellent. I usually use Walter Football as a sort of stepping off point and then do my research from there, I just get my names from there and then look in to them using their college's media as a guide. The local colleges of each player usually do an excellent job. I know there are not a lot of WF fans on here but they do a decent job of listing folks to put on your radar. I follow Erik Turner, Aaron Quinn and Nate Geary on twitter, they have a lot of links to some in depth draft research if not some great observations of their own.
  12. I know, I know. Just a role player that didn't work out but critical stories of the Hoodie are still pretty delicious but not very filling. Like a half a glazed donut.
  13. A reduced role didn't sit well with Cassius Marsh - not even when the New England Patriots were winning by a considerable margin. Marsh told the San Francisco Chronicle he confronted Bill Belichick after the Oakland Raiders' game when the Patriots won, 33-8, and Marsh only got three snaps. That wasn't the only drama that stemmed from the game. Here's what Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reported: "I'm told he pitched a fit over playing time at halftime of the Patriots-Raiders game in Mexico City (he was in on two snaps that week), which contributed to his release days later." The Athletic's Jeff Howe confirmed Breer's report, and added additional details. Hopefully, the bout with Gatorade jug cooled off Marsh. Although, he still seems to be steaming about his time with the Patriots. He expressed a number of qualms with Bill Belichick's methodology. "I confronted (coach Bill Belichick) about all the things that were going on," Marsh told the San Francisco Chronicle's Eric Branch. "I won't get into detail, but it was B.S. things they were doing. I just wasn't a fan. And so I, basically, without asking to get cut, I kind of asked to get cut. … I had confidence that I would have an opportunity elsewhere and I would take advantage of it." Marsh was not the player the Patriots had hoped he'd be. They traded a fifth and seventh round pick to the Seattle Seahawks for him, likely with hopes he'd be at least a role player on special teams and defense. He ended up a jack-of-all-trades but master of none. He struggled to maintain edge discipline as a pass rusher and run defender, and never developed into a coverage linebacker. "They asked me to do a bunch of stuff that I had never done: covering running backs and receivers and basically almost never rushing the passer, which is what I did in playing defensive line," Marsh told the Chronicle. "They don't have fun there. There's nothing fun about it. There's nothing happy about it. I didn't enjoy any of my time there, you know what I'm saying? It made me for the first time in my life think about not playing football, because I hated it that much."
  14. The new app works fine for me, and if I listen on my computer I just use the website it's a lot easier. The new app's lag/loading/buffer time is a LOT less than the old app. I like it a lot better. And it's a little tricky at first to find the on demand and podcast stuff but it's there. Is it just me or does everyone have a really hard time with change these days?
  15. Yikes. Just don't look up "line drive" on urban dictionary.
  16. We should have gone with BillsMuffia, that would be less gay.
  17. I stand in front of the line of scrimmage. Just like Wycheck did.
  18. ????️‍?️? I miss the dancing bananas
