"Coach Jauron mentioned the word cohesion on the offensive line. It’s the most important part of our operation, the cohesion in that line." Heh.

Except for one thing: http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast/post/_/id/...ackle-of-choice

Well, perhaps some people did ... http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast/post/_/id/...ackle-of-choice

And traded that guy to Oakland before this year's draft.

Supposedly, they expect everybody -- including Bell -- to be able to practice tomorrow. Hope they're right.

Kudos. Got any MegaMillions numbers we can borrow?

Graham: Volatile Bills take another risk on offense Maiorana: Bills release left tackle Walker

True, but it's more fun this way.

The timing is ... interesting, to be sure. Then again, if Bell's back doesn't flare up, perhaps Walker goes in the cutdown to 53.

Yup, that's the plan. Just confirmed by the team.

Oh, they apparently have a plan (if this is true, but Jasno's a reputable source, so I'll believe it for now). Now, whether it's a good plan ...

Wheeeeee, as the merry-go-round spins madly out of control. Well, at least this offseason hasn't been boring ...

Just bemuses me, is all, when someone argues facts with such certainty without bothering to ascertain that they're correct. Perhaps that's because whenever I'm wrong -- yes, even about a detail like that -- I get the pleasure of running a correction in the next edition of the newspaper. P.S.: The answer is Akron, Oh., at his agent's house. You'll find that on the same page of Armed and Dangerous.

You wrote that he was done with football, not just the NFL: "If anyone calls he may not even accept an offer to tryout..this is not me guessing this is what JP feels about his own future. Go ahead and rip me if you wish, but he is still living in Buffalo and is actually exploring business ventures in the area." So how did that work out for you?

FWIW, anyone who thinks it's perfectly acceptable to flame another poster here -- regardless of their job description -- can leave right now. The way I see it, there's plenty of room for discussion and debate without descending into snipery. And while John considers his options, I'll tell you this: the treatment he received from a few people here has put me one step closer to the door myself.

Ex-Patriots LB Tedy Bruschi to join ESPN as football analyst Oh, good grief.

Probably didn't think it was necessary to mention it, because to Ralph, Wade's suggestion was a non-starter -- he wanted Jones GONE. Reportedly, Phillips did refuse the ultimatum, and we know the results. Interestingly, while most of the people I've heard from since this went down agree with Chuck, not everyone does ...

Ah, good, they did put it online. (FWIW, he actually wrote that Friday night for Saturday's edition.) Interesting note toward the end, that this is the first in-season assistant-coaching casualty he can remember during his time covering the team.

The BWI board is the only one in my bookmarks, but I haven't posted there in years. Maybe Rich would have a better answer...

Office? With a laptop and a BlackBerry, have office, will travel.

You know what makes me laugh? At the game I covered today, the home team went to a no-huddle -- with a freshman QB -- midway through the second quarter. Everybody on the offense has a wristband with the plays, he calls out the number, and away they go. And they scored three touchdowns with it. Lost the game, but not because of anything the offense did wrong. Yes, I realize the NFL isn't small-school preps, that there needs to be a higher degree of difficulty to keep the defense from raising hell. But sometimes, it looked like the Bills were the team being outsmarted, not the opponents ...

Bwahahahaha. (re: Mr. Berchtold -- no comment.)

Although I do happen to believe that Jauron wasn't acting alone when he whacked Schonert, I was just about to ask what problem you saw with the timeline in the story.
