The Senator

Nice find, BeerSphere - thanks. Like I've said before - if Andy Reid calls you, Buddy, DO NOT ANSWER THE PHONE. No question the Eagles are gonna try to stick it to the Bills for dumping a fat, lazy, injury-prone tub of goo with waning talent, a huge attitude problem, and a $60M price tag on them - and walking away with 3 draft picks! Way to go, Russ! GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!!

If Jacksonville doesn't take him in the 1st round, I'm guessing the Bills - if they want him - will have to make the move in round 2 before Belicheat* grabs him with one of NE's* three 2nd round picks (the Cheatriettes* have Jacksonville's 12-spot in round 2). I'm beginning to warm to the idea. If Belicheat* likes Tebow (BB* is very tight with Urban Meyer, has visited Florida's practices every year, has had nothing but praise for Tebow of late, and has the luxury of developing Tebow while starting Brady*), the Bills might do well to grab TT with their #41 pick as our QB of the future AND keep him away from NE* - particularly if Dan Williams, Terrence Cody, Cam Thomas, and Ricky Sapp are all 'off the board' when our turn comes.

Buffalo Bills 2010 draft positions.... Round 1, Pick 9 (9) Round 2, Pick 9 (41) Round 3, Pick 8 (72) Round 4, Pick 9 (107) Round 5, Pick 9 (140) Round 6, Pick 9 (178) Round 6, Pick 23 (192) (From Eagles) Round 7, Pick 2 (209) (From Lions) Round 7, Pick 9 (216)

Never doubted you, naj - thanks for the info Would hate to use our 1st or 2nd round pick on him, but am beginning to warm to the idea of grabbing Tebow in round 3, assuming he's still there, and a QB depth chart of Brohm, Fitz, and Tebow... 1- Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa 2- Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee/Terrence Cody, DT, Alabama/Ricky Sapp, OLB, Clemson 3- Tim Tebow, QB, Florida 4- Cam Thomas, DT, North Carolina/Jason Worilds, OLB, Virginia Tech 5- Riley Cooper, WR, Florida 6a-Brandon Carter, G, Texas Tech 6b-Danario Alexander, WR, Missouri 7a-Josh Hull, ILB, Penn State 7b-Adam Ulatoski, OT, Texas GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!!

I lost whatever small modicum of respect I once had for Edwards when he puckered-up and started smooching Dick Jauron's rear-end. Apparently even interim coach Perry Fewell wasn't quite comfortable with TE as field general, thinking Fitz gave the Bills a better chance of winning games down the stretch. But you're absolutely right about the O-line and competent offensive game plan (though Edwards had adequate offensive targets in Evans, Owens, Reed, Lynch, etc. - he just sucked so bad he couldn't figure out how to take advantage of them). The Bills need to take care of their OT and NT needs in rounds 1 & 2, their OLB/DE needs in rounds 3-5, and use their late round picks on huge, mean, nasty, absolute freaky OL monsters like Brandon Carter, Adam Ulatoski, etc. Build the O-line, then watch Brian Brohm thrive... GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!!

How 'bout some cheese with that whine, dog? Well, at least ya didn't go all 'Simon' on me! But puh-leeze - players, coaches, GMs, and owners get relentlessly bashed here non-stop - this is the first time I've seen someone ask for a 'cease & desist' out of "consideration to your fellow posters". I take unmitigated crap for being a fan of Mike Leach, and ya don't see me whimpering in protest. But back to the topic at hand - funny, but I can't remember anyone ever latching onto something Jim Kelly said that was so uncomfortably freakin' weird that it raised eyebrows (probably 'cause Kelly's a stud, while Trent's a wuss). You say you want facts with my 'negativity'? FACT: Trent Edwards is a self-proclaimed Dakota Fanning fan, going so far a to proclaim the 15-year-old star (probably closer to 11 when he said it) his 'favorite actress' - a pretty strange choice for a 22-year-old PAC 10 QB, if you ask me... Link - Get to know Trent Edwards FACT: Fanning-Fan's tight end and Stanford roommate, Matt Traverso, is on record as having waxed his body, describing himself as "charismatic and fashionable", and carrying the handle of 'Princess' (this guy would be right at home with Johnny Weir)... Link - Get to know Matt Traverso I've merely reiterated what these 2 clowns have admitted in describing themselves, and provided links to those facts. How exactly could that be construed as inconsiderate and selfish? Here's another incontrovertible fact - Trent Edwards is about as fragile as a China doll and has finished only one complete season without injury since high school (his junior year at Stanford)... At Stanford, Edwards sat out his freshman year in 2002 so he could concentrate on his studies, and began 2003 behind starter Chris Lewis. After an impressive showing as a back up, Edwards got the start for four games, but was then sidelined with a shoulder injury for the rest of the season. In 2004, Edwards was the starter, but again suffered injuries that knocked him out of two games and kept him out of two others entirely. Edwards' best year was 2005, where he started all 11 games, completed 168 of 268 passes for 1934 yards and 17 touchdowns, leading the Cardinal to a 5-6 record. In 2006, Edwards was the starter for the first seven games, but suffered a season-ending broken foot against Arizona and relinquished the starting role to Dan Kuntz. (Contrast that with someone like Jim Kelly, who suffered a concussion and kept playing until he called the same running play 4 straight times and finally got sent to the bench, who played with braces on both injured knees and a flak jacket to protect broken ribs, or a mensch like Kurt Schilling pitching in the ALCS and World Series with blood soaking his sock from a ruptured tendon, and maybe you'll begin to understand why I call out the wuss from Los Gatos for his extreme fragility.) Here's another fact about Trentie - wuss can't toss a little pill 60 feet with any accuracy or zip, even when there's no pass rush coming down on him and he knows way ahead of time the exact spot he's supposed to throw it... Link - Trent Edwards throws like a girl I have no problem with the guy competing in an all-out contest to determine who should be the Bills starting QB but, IMHO, Edwards is gone. An ex-Bill. Brohm, Fitz, and a free agent vet or rookie (Tebow?) will comprise the QB depth chart this Fall. Now prove me wrong. Tell me why Trent's so great, and so tough, and - like you said - use facts, rather than 'I'm a really big TE fan and get upset when you insult him.' GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!!

That's exactly what Fanning-Fan's self-proclaimed "charismatic and fashionable" body-waxing tight end and Stanford roomie, Matt Traverso (aka 'Princess'), said!

Most fans realize that Pro Bowl voting is a complete joke and more akin to a popularity contest, much like a high school election, than any true measure of competence or achievement. But don't take my word - better to heed a guy who has a better handle on all of this than any TSW poster, so here's (once again) what a former offensive lineman (who also played alongside FatBoy Peters) had to say about FatBoy's selection and the entire Pro Bowl voting process, particularly the players' vote... Link - Russ Tucker SI Article Like safeties and cornerbacks really have a good grasp on how an opposing offensive lineman plays, especially one on a team they don't face at all during the season, right? (Well, maybe if you're former Jets safety Abram Elam blowing by FatBoy Peters as he waives you straight thru to JP Losman without so much as trying to lay a hand on you, maybe - just maybe, you're the one safety who knows Jason Peters sucks and often gives less than half-effort, preferring instead to just 'phone it in'.) Fact is, Jason Peters is an ex-Bill, and an injury-prone lazy tub of goo with waning talent and a huge attitude problem who pulls a hammie running from his bed to the breakfast table, then takes a seat on the bench while dreaming about his next holdout and big raise. Glad he's gone, and glad someone else is paying his salary. Memo to Buddy Nix/Chan Gailey - guys, if Andy Reid calls, DO NOT answer the phone, 'cause the Eagles are gonna try like hell to get even for trading them a $60 million tub of goo for 3 draft picks. GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!!

Speaking of big-mouthed Internet tough guys... Simon, Simon, Simon...can't tell if you're joking or serious - or just drunk out of your mind - on this one, since it's so freakin' obvious to all with eyes that, as a NFL QB at least, Trent Edwards is a boy amongst men. That the pu$$y has been able to play a complete season w/out injury only once since high school speaks volumes toward the guy's physical toughness, or lack thereof. Fact is, Fanning-Fan Edwards IS a pu$$y. Period. Incontrovertible statement of fact. Hic finis est. Don't think so? Then grab that bottle again and pour yourself another double shot of belligerence, while you tell me where the giant, life-threatening 'killshot' was coming from on this throw... link I didn't see anyone getting ready to smash poor little Trentie's face in - all I saw was just a Dick Jauron brown-nosin' freakin' pantywaist who - with all the time in the world, knowing exactly what spot to throw to, and with absolutely no possibility of being hit or intercepted - can't toss a little round pill 60 feet with any zip or accuracy, with no one bearing down on him at all. I'm actually embarrassed to see that Nancy-boy wearing a Bills uniform. Fanning-Fan Edwards = One Crappy Freakin' QB. Quod erat demonstrandum.

I have no problem with Tebow at all - in fact, I LOVE the pick...in Round 4. 1- Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa 2- Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee 3- Ricky Sapp, OLB, Clemson 4- Tim Tebow, QB, Florida 5- Danario Alexander, WR, Missouri 6a-Adam Ulatoski, OT. Texas 6b-Brandon Carter, G, Texas Tech 7a-Jason Beauchamp, OLB, UNLV 7b-Josh Hull, ILB, Penn State

19 and 0 baby!!! GO BILLSSS!!!! REVERSE THE CURSE!!!!!

Definitely agree that Brohm will beat out TE and Fitz for the #1 spot, but think Fitz will be higher than TE on the depth chart. JMO.

Exactly - not to mention the whole noodle-armed, inaccuracy thing... Link - Trent Edwards Arm In all honesty, I'd rather the Bills jettison Edwards before giving him this season's playbook. If he latches on w/another team, good luck to him - he still won't last a full season w/out injury, no matter what line protects him.

Actually, Josh Reed is a UFA and likely will not be re-signed, so apparently the OP is suggesting we enter the 2010 season with Roscoe Parrish, Justin Jenkins, Steve Johnson, James Hardy, and - presumably - three WRs-to-be-named-later?

Well if you watch the video I linked, how is it that Fanning-Fan Edwards can't throw a baseball 60 feet with any accuracy or velocity and get it even close enough to home plate for the catcher to spring from his crouch and chase it down? I mean, we're talking a 20-yard toss with no decisions as to where to throw, no defense to read, no activity down-field to decipher, and no 300 lb. linemen bearing down on him. Just a nice, easy, 20-yard toss... Link - Trent Edwards Arm I don't care if we put 5 All-Pro O-linemen in front that candy-ass - if that's how he throws when he's under absolutely no pressure at all, has no decisions to make, knows exactly what spot to throw to, and has all the time in the world, then he ain't gonna ever cut it in the NFL. Even Dakota Fanning throws a ball better than that.

I'll say I was mistaken. But I expect Brohm will win the job, with Fitz as backup, and an inexpensive, aging vet will be signed for depth. JMO. No, Trent is not exempt from my verisimilitude regarding a quality O-line and competent OC - he just plain sucks, and will never last a full season in the NFL w/out injury (he has played only one full season since high school - his junior year at Stanford). Edwards may find a job in the UFL, but I expect Trentie's next job will be with Synopsys in Silicon Valley (Edwards interned there during his college days).

I thought Lynch's mom & younger brother moved back to Oakland - maybe that's the house that's 'For Sale', as I'm unaware of any 'For Sale' signs on the front lawn of the townhouse where he has lived since he became a Bill. The only things on that front lawn are usually his Porsche Cayenne and his bright-green 'gangsta-mobile' (much to the consternation of his neighbors and the homeowners assn).

Regarding Trent Edwards' arm-strength, accuracy, and overall 'dweebiness', I give you Dakota Fanning's biggest fan... Trent Edwards Arm If anyone thinks this clown will be the Bills starting QB, they need to have their head - or their eyesight - examined by a competent medical professional. Personally, I doubt Edwards even makes the Bills roster.

HAPPY FREAKIN' NATAL ANNIVERSARIES, YOU CRAZY BASTAGES, YOU... Cheers!!!

Yes some of you guys are just way too much Maybe if we actually get a solid O line, if poor Trentie boy could only get some protection, we'd see more of that rocket-like arm and that pin-point laser accuracy... Link - Trent Edwards' Arm Time to face facts, Fanning-Fan Fanboys - Trent is done in the NFL. He and his Stanford roomie can now go back to waxing their bodies and watching Dakota Fanning films.

Um, if they hired someone 'from this century', wouldn't they be like 10 years old?

Basically - VERY basically - a 'spread offense' is an offensive package designed to make the defense defend the entire field; it could be thought of as a set of looks and play options designed to 'spread' the opponent's defense both horizontally and vertically, making them defend the entire field. In a spread offense the QB typically lines up in a shotgun formation, and either all offensive targets line up as receivers at the LOS, or one RB lines up in the backfield with 4 receivers at the LOS. It's high-power, high-scoring offensive strategy typically used in college - Urban Meyer is one or the premier architects/disciples of 'the spread', and used it successfully with national championships with Chris Leak in 2006 and Tim Tebow in 2008. Mike Leach's Texas Tech teams ran a version of 'the spread' that some call the 'air raid' - almost exclusively pass-oriented - and led the NCAA in passing offense 6 of the past 8 seasons, placing 2nd the other two. At Florida, Meyer/Tebow used a package referred to as the 'spread option' where the QB can either pass, hand off to the RB, or run the ball himself, depending in his read. (Most TSW experts will insist that 'the spread' will never work in the NFL, even though Urban Meyer's close friend Bill Belichick* has used a spread package with Tom Brady* & and the Patriettes* for years, with amazing success. Peyton Manning and the Colts frequently use a spread offense as well - just watch how many times Manning audibles this Sunday and puts all 5 targets at the LOS.)

The Bills will finally reverse the 'Curse of Pete Gogolak' on February 6, 2011 in Arlington, TX... GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!!
