  1. I REALLY love this move!

     

    He was one of the top 10 OT's in this draft and was considered a steal by the Packers where he was taken. He showed a lot of promise during the Preseason and if you look around at Packers boards, no one is pleased. It's not one of those "meh, whatever, we lost a PS player"; they're pissed and rightfully so.

     

    Jon Runyan is in declining health everybody. He's got reconstructed knees. He visited with multiple teams following his Dr. saying he was medically cleared and no one signed him. Even when the Eagles starting RT went down, they brought him in and STILL didn't want him.

     

    And this was the team he gained his fame in and knew him better than anyone else!

     

    Jamon Meredith is not on the last leg of his career. He's a prospect with tons of potential. He's probably the best available at the moment, in my opinion.

  2. If we decide to either trade or surprise cut Roscoe, I wouldn't be against it. We'd need a Punt Returner then. Not to mention, Leodis will be returning kicks while starting at CB, which puts him at risk. He's also still learning and while he shows flashes, we don't know that he's definitely going to tear up the league. Also, Drayton Florence has missed a good portion of camp and the preseason. So outside of T-McGee and Ashton, we don't have a lot of experience.

     

    So in my opinion, it's wouldn't be a terrible move and it's not like we'd have much to lose.

  3. Uh.... what?

     

    He was a 3rd round rookie last year and didn't play much at all. So, of course, his stats aren't going to look good at all. Not to mention, HE WAS A ROOKIE!

     

    If I remember correctly, at the last preseason game, the guy was all over the field. He had a sack one play and picked a fumble the very next play.

     

    I'd say it's WAYYYYY early to be labeling a guy with the "sucks" label. I, honestly, would be shocked if he was cut.

  4. I'm in the minority (or majority, I can't tell with the bi-polarness of opinions on this site) in feeling this way, but I wish Buffalo would sign Vick.

     

    To all the people who say he has nothing to offer, I think you're forgetting that this guy is a former 3x Pro Bowler and almost single-handedly took the Falcons to the playoffs twice in his 6 years in the NFL, surrounded by almost no valid WR's (save for his TE Crumpler).

     

    In a division with a team whose "Wildcat" formation has revolutionized the league, I can think of no one better to run our own version of it than Michael Vick. His experience and out of this world athletic ability would provide stability behind Trent Edwards; something that I think Ryan Fitzpatrick can't. He hasn't looked close to average all camp and he was, at best, average in both St. Louis and Cincinnati. Hell, we are still unsure if Edwards is even the long term answer at this point.

     

    Yes, bringing him would bring backlash from the terrorist group, PETA. But he would also bring more money and more national attention to our beloved Buffalo Bills. Terrell Owens has brought a fair amount of that already, but adding Vick would take it into the stratosphere. In a market where every dollar counts and relocation is more than a whisper in the wind, it would be a sound business decision.

     

    I hope Russ Brandon and Ralph Wilson reconsider their "stance" and turn the "not interested at this time" to "interested" in the near future. Especially if Fitzpatrick & Hamdan continue to show nothing.

  5. I just read the blurb on BB.com and it did not say anything about a white throwback. It merely states that they will be wearing the official throwback with patch which is the blue one.

     

    Don't get too excited, the clowns are here to stay

     

    Did you receive the official press release? I don't know, the Buffalo News is a pretty credible source if you ask me.

  6. "A second-round choice from the 1999 draft, Jansen started 123 games for the Redskins. He was considered an anchor at right tackle, but injuries and age apparently caught up to him."

     

    "The team tried to talk him into retiring Friday"

     

    Yes, please, get it done :w00t:

  7. Nelson, easily.

     

    He was considered by many to be the 2nd best TE in this draft behind Pettigrew (sometimes behind Jared Cook). In a DEEP TE class, he was slotted anywhere's from the late-1st (depending on how high Pettigrew went) to a late-2nd. It's still an absolute miracle to me he was available in the 4th.

     

    Kevin Everett was the 2nd or 3rd best available TE in a pretty poor TE class in 2005. We took him in the 3rd which is about where he was slotted.

  8. Oh wow! We're bringing in Cullen Harper? He's one of the cream of the crop, undrafted QB's. He's usually ranked in the top 10 or so QB's available in the '09 draft. Almost always above Drew Willy.

    Another interesting tryout is De'Cody Fagg (save the immaturity), the WR from Florida State. He was invited to the combine last year and completely destroyed his knee. His career was considered over before it even started. Apparently, he's made a miraculous comeback:

    Too bad we're stacked at WR. He was a stud in college and a top prospect before the combine incident.

  9. So.. we should have taken Orakpo

     

    No, I still prefer who we took and I find the Madden card interesting because it echoes the thoughts of the many.

     

    Orakpo is a better all-around player (right now). But if you're looking for pass rush first and foremost, like us, Maybin's got it all over him in burst and moves.

  10. LT D Bell LG Woods C Hangartner RG Levitra RT Walker -starting 5

     

    Chambers, Butler - dressed backups

     

    McKinney and Scott fighting for roster spot

     

    Joel Bell practice squad

     

    Demetrius Bell is not ready to just jump into the starting LT spot. Even Jason Peters started at RT before being moved. I'm not even sure if Bell had ANY regular season action on any part of the line last year, let alone Left Tackle. He may have all the potential in the world, but you don't just throw him into the fire like that.

     

    Furthermore, Brad Butler has quietly turned into a very good offensive lineman. Honestly, he was arguably the most solid out of anyone last year. He certainly does not deserve to be benched. If anything, he'll be getting a promotion to RT, not a demotion.

  11. I feel we've had a helluva draft so far. But i'm wondering why we drafted almost everyone at different positions then they did in college?

     

    Aaron Maybin - Our pass rusher. Was a DE in college. Buffalo sent out their text alert stating we drafted "LB Aaron Maybin"

     

    Eric Wood - A premier Center in college. However, Jauron in his interview stated we'll stick him in at Guard.

     

    Jairus Byrd - A top 5 ranked CB prospect. Chris Brown stated he'll most likely be playing at Safety in Buffalo.

     

    Andy Levitre - This pick confused me because if were playing Wood at Guard and Butler has been decent, why would we give up picks to trade up and take the best natural Guard in the draft? Jauron said in his interview today that they may try him at Tackle.

     

    Shawn Nelson - TE that will play TE. Maybe we can try him out at WR? (lol)

     

    Nic Harris - A prolific college OLB that we drafted to play S.

     

    All of these position switches kind of concerns me.
