  1. I LOVE the potential of the secondary, but I’m also disappointed we didn’t do more to improve the line play. What I hope is our front office saw more value in the secondary players this year, and will upgrade the lines when we have more information to work with. We still don't exactly know how our guys will react to this system, and if younger players like Kelsey, Preston, McCargo, and Anderson step up we won't need to bring in nearly as many people. We can also look at our recent FA acquisitions and decide if these guys are better role players or starters. During the off-season we can take the considerable cap room we have, and bring in the people that will help us make our playoff push. Like I said I'm upset we didn’t do more to the lines, and I expect us to struggle once again in that area this year. But before I label Marv an OL neglector I'm going to give him and Jauron one more year to evaluate what we have, and how that fits into the new system.
  2. I'm so obsessed with 06 that I'm going to just play that for now. Besides I like mine all custom with the rosters, and sliders and those usually don't start coming out until a month after release.
  3. How about Carwell Gardner?
  4. You can't go wrong with Evans or MaGee.
  5. My favorite line is you can CULTIVATE up to 100g without incarceration It's considered a minor misdemeanor, 100$ fine. The paraphernalia thing sucks, but in comparison to my old stomping grounds I'll gladly take it. If you look at grass be prepared to guard your A$$
  6. I'll keep that in mind if you ever make a Ohio tailgate. Why Ohio? Thats why
  7. Old man strength By the way, you just met the 10th percentile.
  8. It seems like in most posts you go to great lengths to explain your point, and try to come to a logical conclusion. I guess I just don't understand a lot of the logic you use. It seems like you base your assumptions off isolated examples rather then the overwhelming majority of events. This response is a perfect example. You have often cited the Ravens Super Bowl run in an attempt to un glorify the QB position, when in reality the overwhelming evidence points toward needing a high tier QB to win the super bowl. Is it possible to win the Super Bowl with an average QB? Yes Is it likely? Hell no. Dibs didn't cherry pick the best QB's ever, he just picked the QB's of teams that have won or gone to the Super Bowl. It's not a coincidence that most those teams had pro bowl caliber QB's.
  9. I started delivering pies a few months ago on Friday Nights. $100 extra a night helps. Unfortunately I have developed the habit of not putting the belt on. At this point it's completely asinine not to. Story's like this reinforce that, and I’m very happy to hear your wife was ok. My girl got in a freeway accident a few years back and she’s still a little paranoid of semis
  10. Because I said so, and I hate anybody over the age of 24. How old are you again?
  11. Just curious about the average age.
  12. I'm over in the Toledo area, looks like they will also have it run threw here. Pretty cool if it goes threw.
  13. I would rather exploit starving children in third world countries then my fellow Bills fans. You sick, sick, SOB.
  14. It would be cool if Drew Stanton wen't so high. I played against him in high school.
  15. Amen. If we suck this year I at least want enough youth to show me we won't suck the next few years.
  16. You’re correct in assuming Whitner’s true value is an unknown, as you pointed out he could be a great player, making the selection justified.But as of now we know the majority of teams in this league find safeties drafted in round 2 or later . We also know we could be an average team this year. Regardless of how Whitner turns out we have every right to question why the Bills would paint themselves in a corner by making Whitner so indispensable. We were forced to draft Whitner because Jauron decided to play the Cover 2 and he was the only guy who could fill a gaping hole on this team. In the midst of what could be a rebuilding year this urgency probably took us out of any trade considerations. Even if Whitner does work out I hope Marv and Jauron give us a little more freedom to work with next draft.
  17. After researching Fairchild I think he will be a good fit for our players. The Rams ran with him calling plays, and the success of the QB's in St Louis is intriguing. I'm not worried about him, but I’m VERY worried about our defensive intentions. What this looks like to me is another example of a coach forcing his system on a team regardless of the talent at hand. Recently we haven't applied pressure well from the DL, so we relied on the blitz. As a result we had blown coverage, and gave up long runs. We needed to tone it down but the approach we decided on is the complete opposite of what we have been playing. Now we will play a vanilla look that asks your DL to apply pressure, something we haven’t been able to do for a long time. We will also ask the DL to stop the run with speed, and penetration. As a result our LB's will be left more exposed, which is not exactly Fletcher's strength. Our corners will shift from more man to zone responsibilities. This will benefit MaGee but it neutralizes Clements man skills, which until last season were regarded as top notch. We were also forced to draft a SS and DT with our first picks because we didn't have a SS capable of playing this look, and the FA DT market was thin with the type of DT's this system fits. Eventually we will have the right players for this defense but we clearly don’t now, and we overextended ourselves in the draft to get them. Jauron never had great talent to work with in his former jobs so I give him a pass on that, but I do question his ability to bring in enough players for his system in the time a HC usually gets.
  18. We don't have a proven starter at QB or one that has even proven to be above average at this point. AT WR we have a #1 who is being a #1 for the first time, a number #2 who we aren't positve can be a #2, and a whole flock of 4's, 5's, and 6's who have not yet shown they can be conistent 3's. OL has been the number one posted complaint in wall history but the addition of Flower and Reyes is supposed to make us forget how many sacks we've given up the last few years? We did the same thing to the line we did with TD, add value starters hoping they would pan out. After the Bennie Anderson expereince I'll wait and see before I believe it again this year, especially considering the yards per carry averages of Carolina and Minnesota's run game last year. Conclusion- It's all up to Fairchild On defense we have NO run stopping talent at DT. Anderson is not a viable starter but he will start, let's hope he doesn't get injured because we have nobody who can play his position behind him. Oposite him we signed Larry Tripplett, a player who could never help the Colts improve their run defense while he was in the cover 2 for them. McCargo is a rookie so factoring in any major contribution from him is s premature. Oposite Schobel, Kelsey and Denney have yet to show they can give us consitent good play year round. 75% of our DL is below average, and the Cover 2 has been notorious for allowing power run teams gaping alleys in the middle. Conclusion- It's all up to Fewell
  19. To make a baby conventionally she would need a washer around her vagina.
  20. He just needs a TE, and a few more lineman.
  21. The Lions had a team besides Barry?
  22. Growing up in Michigan I was lucky enough to see most of Barry’s games, especially later on his career. What an amazingly humble athlete with a style that will NEVER be duplicated. Anybody remember the run he had against us? He had a similar one against the Bears. My other favorite is when he broke into the open field against the Patriots, literally making one of their players go in circles.
