First Round Bust

I should have said...the only thing new is the history WE dont know....not meant to criticize or get personal as that is a saying a trivia-history oriented person like myself uses...

the only thing new is the history you dont know... second to the immortal Bruce in career team sacks NFL Draft:2001 / Round: 2 / Pick: 46 Career history Buffalo Bills (2001–2009) Total tackles:483 Sacks:78.0 Forced fumbles:19 Fumble recoveries:8 Interceptions:3 Defensive touchdowns:1 Schobel earned his first Pro Bowl appearance in 2006. His best season as a pro came in 2006 when he posted a career high 14 sacks. Schobel, a first team alternate for the 2007 Pro Bowl, was called upon to relieve an injured Jason Taylor in the Pro Bowl. This was his second consecutive year in the Pro Bowl. He started in 116 consecutive games with the Bills from 2003 until 2008, when he was on the inactive list for a game against the San Diego Chargers due to an injured foot. After a team-leading, 10-sack 2009 season, Schobel informed the Bills that he was considering retirement. To add on, new coach Gailey said that he was looking to switch from a 4-3 to 3-4 defense It was reported by the Buffalo News on May 10, 2010 that Schobel & his wife June had sold their Orchard Park house, further adding to the speculation of his impending departure from the Bills. On July 27, 2010 Aaron Schobel announced he was 70/30 on returning to the Bills. On August 4, 2010, the Buffalo Bills released Aaron Schobel. He never signed with any other team; being released instead cemented his decision to retire, which he did on August 16.

and so was Cam Lewis (CB) from the Bills, likely PS pickup unless he gets goosed by our 6th rounder who was cut as well, which would be...wild

for a dude from Miami to complain about the heat in the 716 qualifies him for an AARP membership, does he eat dinner at 345 PM ?

guy I work with is a long-time Pats season tix holder, we are talking decades, is very happy to hear that Cam is gone, he was not happy they signed him to begin with an used the word SUCKS when we would talk about Cam...Pats do have a lot of dead cap space, so if they get those pricey FA vets injured they have less flex this season

4 year vets are excluded from waivers and are automatic free agents, has played well enough in a key position to get more guaranteed money, more than the $135k he signed for, mutually beneficial...another wise move by the front office to open a slot, then IR a keeper for short-term and then bring Holister back after that happens

well Murray is 1-0 versus Josh, so he technically is one up...until we meet again...

meh, Kyle Shanahan is a top 5 coach ? over Tomlin or Pete Carroll ?

two rookies - two second year sophomores in the league -five nfl vets who have been with us 1-2 year max - and Taiwan and Siran are your most experienced Bills ST going on third years more or less...

1. optics 2. what are things teams do when working to trade a valuable asset for a hundred Alex 3. Taiwan Jones catch on third-and-long with Milano making a poor coverage play, the bomb to DiMarco, going to the Duke in the crunch...we've come a long, long way and learned a lot from that...

good points...but all HC are defensive coaches so lets see how they do with the qb position...the Bills qb has the highest ceiling....could 3 teams make the playoffs out of the AFC East this season ? not likely but possible... got to credit with how and quick Miami rebuilt, tho what helped them was that stupid trade with Hou where they received an over-abundance of high draft picks, the floor is high with Tua, but wonder about the ceiling...hate to say it but BB is going to be a tough out with the usual top D... he went free agent shopping they had a very good draft, they likely found that accurate-proficient-error free qb that BB requires....

a good, positive, dude. beyond the football jock talk which he did well, he embraced the 716, it was mutually beneficial and he will be missed, hard for someone to come in just before the opener and hit the ground running....best to marcel and thanks for feeding us barnyard animals and being one of us...

it was either cut Johnson or Obada and get nothing for them or take what the market offers, Panthers needed someone better than current roster offers to get back the 5 sacks they lost cutting Obada, plus some special teams play; Bills get 5+ sacks from Obada not likely to get from Johnson and likely Gilliam take Johnson spot on ST

there is the media's extrapolation of the coaches presser, based on training camp reps and there is the fans consumption of same, which in tends to over-analyze, sensantionalize (see Rodgers Aaron GM wannabe comments) , etc ,bottom of the roster players, Jake K was cut by the Pack, the Bills and the Saints, so he his on his fourth chance in one year. the glass is half-full in that he is getting chances, but its half-empty in that he is bottom-half of anyone receiving core, and really wont move up unless better receiver(s) are hurt...he is this board's new posterboy replacing Duke Williams...

I think this move bodes well for Taiwan Jones, the Bills value ST, coaches say he is an elite gunner, has a 700k dead cap issue that they save by not cutting and re-signing as compared to Phillips cut and resign for less than 200k and can be placed on IR for a couple week (still in a knee brace)...Obada wins out, gets 5+ sacks, leaves as over-priced FA at age 30, trends to Bills get FA comp pick

harken back to the old days when the weekly "card" featuring the teams and the point spread was all there was to betting, it made you feel like you part of the network, the underground, and some would say what you are doing is illegal and you could be arrested, esp if you win, so dont say where you got the card from..and a tie meant you lost...the daze of mis-spent youth and a few lost dollars

another reason to luv Fitz and his cave-mountain-trapper-explorer- Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal-man look...hopeful he comes back to be Josh backup someday soon so he can retire as a Bill with a super bowl ring at which point i would seek him out during the victory parade downtown and bear hug him, take selfie, shake hand, ramble on in drunken stupor about our love for him, our team, our city, our fans, etc, etc

I was told there would be no math...sigh

gonna suck in this season of high expectations if this issue has weekly updates as if the injury reports arent enough...sigh

no field goals, no way...also many fond memories of many glorious sunny September Sundays of BIlls games when living on the Niagara Frontier, but I guess the Steelers brought their gloomy weather...Dusty Baker (baseball manager) has said many a time that it always starts to rain come game time in Pitts...

but its down to IR for the season or payout settlement and goodbye....

its happened...once.....the legendary Rob "I need a job" Bohlinger... https://americanfootballdatabase.fandom.com/wiki/Rob_Bohlinger

with alll these Why-OH-Ming claims...gotta wonder if Josh is playing armchair GM like Rodgers wants to play so badly in GB...I hope Josh busts his balls this weekend and tells Rodgers that he ordered the Kumerow plckup and his golf buddy says...sure thing bro...

I think the 90s team would work the middle-of-the-field quite well with the TEs (Metz and McKeller) and short-timing routes to HOF-ers Lofton and Reed also would be run-heavy tween the tackles....even tho not mobile, that was a big O-line to try and get behind but Kelly would take some hits but keep on ticking.... Athleticism-conditioning-nutrition-etc but coaching would be the biggest diffferentiator, the 90s coaches, once they figured what worked they kept it up and thus have to question the lack of creativity, diversity and adjustments, etc that todays coaching demands and rewards moreso than before..Walsh, Gibbs for example, were ahead of their times....so todays team would win big, but the 90s team would likley be more vaccinated and not miss the game, cant say that about todays group...and yes that is an on-going issue...

ode to the Duke, walks off into the sunset like he had a load in his pants or is it PS ?
