Chris Ivory's Role In The Running Game?

Do you really have to ask!? -
Mock Draft Has Bills Selecting At #1.....
RocCityRoller replied to Bill from NYC's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'll wait to see how the Bills actually finish and how all of these prospects play out this year. I still think LB/ OL or WR will be our first round pick next year. #1 seems ridiculous, I could see 5-11 or 6-10 a real possibility due to all the changes on the offensive side of the ball, but this Defense should be top 10 in most defensive rankings. A stout defense and Shady and the other RBs should eke out 5-7 wins IMO. If 5-7 wins puts you at #1 overall I'll take it in rebuild year #2. -
Buffalo 66 is twenty years old this week
RocCityRoller replied to Another Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I saw it a couple of years after it came out, really enjoyed it. I was in Philadelphia when i caught it and was really homesick for anything WNY related. -
That's what I thought, but wanted to cover the bases. Todd carved out a solid career as a backup and had a few moments late in his career.
-
Too early to rate with an entire Offensive scheme change and 2-3 new potential starting QBs. I have stated that I think the O-line will be more solid than anticipated by some of the doom and gloom posters, but there will be a learning curve and some shake out. My guess is the O-Line will start a bit shaky but gel around mid-season.

Chris Ivory's Role In The Running Game?
RocCityRoller replied to OldTimeAFLGuy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If the O-line was still intact, I would agree. With all of it in flux and unknown, and the Daboll run scheme largely untested I am holding my breath. Ingram and Ivory have been two RBs I always enjoy watching run, because they run with a bit of nasty. Just not sure what Chris Ivory we are getting, and how the O-Line, scheme etc will meld. IMO it is a good risk for both parties. It should also be known Ivory has had a bit of a fumble history. His ball security is my primary concern. -
^ Todd Collins or Frank Reich? I thought there were times Jim Kelly should have taken a week or two more to recover from injury since the team always seemed to rally around Frank Reich I thought JP Losman had what it took to be a very good, not great, QB I believe Chan Gailey was the best HC the team had between Marv and McDermott On that topic Marv was tremendous at managing ego's and a good motivational one liner at times, was but was not a great Xs and Os coach I thought we got two defensive steals in the 2010 draft with Carrington and Moats. I bought into the Darrick Rogers (WR) pre-season hype Butch Byrd belongs on the Wall of Fame

For Harrison Phillips, the NFL Was Always His Why
RocCityRoller replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Really excited to see what Phillips and Edmunds can do to help transform this D with White on the back end. McBeane are very methodical in building up McDermott's specialty, the defense. Last year the Bills knew they could not rebuild the whole Defense, so they focused on a unit, the secondary. They invested in two under the radar FA signings and a high draft pick in Poyer, Hyde and White. They hit gold. This year the focus was D-line. Again 2 under the radar FA's in Murphy and Star L. Again a high draft pick in Harrison Phillips. I have to believe the thinking is that improved D-line pressure will immediately help an already good secondary and solidify the rush defense, forcing throws toward Poyer, Hyde, White and Davis. I expect McBeane to focus on LB next year through FA and draft. I believe none of the LB FA's will be big names, but steady contributors or guys who fit the scheme and process. I also don't think they expected Edmunds or Phillips to be available when they were in the past draft, so they moved to get the guys they wanted and it helped move along the process. LB is probably a year ahead of schedule if Edmunds pans out. I wouldn't be surprised to see 1 or 2 mid level LB signings and another round 1-3 draft pick on LB next year. I believe those LBs will fill in the weaknesses or compliment the D-line and secondary (pass rushing specialist, run stuffer, or coverage types) as needed. The big splashes will probably continue to be on offense next year with Daboll firmly entrenched as OC. Matthews and Zay Jones were probably supposed to be the big splash on offense last off season and it was a whiff. But they countered and tried again with Benjamin. Allen and Daboll are the obvious big moves this off-season. No one could have predicted the melt down at OL. I see a plan evolving and it actually makes sense. I hope Dirty Harry is a part of it for a long time. -
Tremaine Edmunds vs Gronk

Over/under coverage by Tre White and Edmunds? -
Training Camp 2018 Dates
RocCityRoller replied to BuffalothruMyVeins's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
4 is the historical limit per person per location. Does anyone have a list of locations to obtain tickets? Concessions discounts to those with valid military ID if history proves correct. -
Charles Krauthammer Last Days---RIP
RocCityRoller replied to 3rdnlng's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
RIP Mr. Krauthmmer. Thank you for your class, intelligence, factual observations and ability to hold meaningful dialogue on contentious topics. As a person who has relatives with disabilities, I appreciate that he never parlayed his disability into a request for sympathy or special treatment. -
I’m going to lose my ****. Taking questions ...
RocCityRoller replied to Juror#8's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
What were your net gains vs. Jan 2017? Lets say they were +100k since 1/2017. You took a 65k paper loss, still up 35k. Never emotionally buy or sell. I took a stock to and through bankruptcy a few years ago. Lot's of shady context. I held my 'shares' until the court ruled in favor of the company. 5 figure real loss. You win some you loose some. You lost paper value in a day, you sit tight, reevaluate your investments and know the next uptick is forthcoming. It's a long game. -
Got a FredEx jersey off Facebook Marketplace

My point was billieve420 sounds like he curses every player he buys a jersey for! Not buying an Allen jersey may give the kid a chance. -
Got a FredEx jersey off Facebook Marketplace
RocCityRoller replied to JÂy RÛßeÒ's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
We all thank you for your sacrifice -
LOL, that is Rochester Democrat and Chronicle (Gannett) and WHAM sports journalist Bob Matthews. I think he is already well past retirement age. One of the last things giving the D&C any credit at all. As bad as Buff News may be the D&C is a complete failure at this point. Went to crap shortly after Gannett left Rochester for VA Fairburn is really good, I hope he does stay somewhere in the region but gets promoted.

There will be a lot of crow handed out to media...
RocCityRoller replied to Hebert19's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm betting the over on my under LOL! Truth is, I was being an @ss last night and had to edit my response to not bring up gambling or politics where they didn't belong. We are agreed the 5-7 win potential is real. We differ where I don't see under 5 wins as even possible. Nice to agree with you for once. Sorry for being an @ss in the prior post. -

No biggie I was just hanging out with James K Polk. He was at Al Bundy's high school hall of fame ceremony for scoring 5 TDs in one game
