I don't remember saying that Peters is the guy i'd want. But he is a Tackle now. I was simply listing the tackles that are on our team. Anderson? Are you high? Bennie Anderson will be filling our hole at LG. Not to mention, he's NEVER played Tackle in his career!

The only ones that are going to be cut are L.J. Shelton (who was already cut and we apparently don't want), Kyle Turley, and Todd Steussie. Turley is a GREAT tackle. But his weight is low and he's a nutcase. Steussie's on Steroids. So unless we want to take a chance on one of them, it looks like we're going with Gandy, Teague, or Peters because I don't see anyone else getting cut.

Yes, I would. I realize i'm probably in the minority when it comes to this though. If we're not signing Shelton, then Turley would probably be the next best thing. Unless there's some massive surprise, the only OT's that will be available besides Shelton are Turley and Todd Steussie. Some people thought at one point that Kenyatta Walker would be cut. But after Steussie's steroid problem and Walker's performance last year, Steussie will be the one to go. So if Mularkey and McNally can get the guy to put on some weight, he'd be a DEFINITE upgrade from Gandy. If his head is in the game, he's one of the leagues premier tackles. Is he a loose cannon at times? Yes. But I think our beastly head coach and O-Line guru can handle it.

I don't think that's an issue. I mean if the guy wants to play some downs on the DL, let him. But he's going to be primarily a tackle. I'm sure Mularkey and McNally could get through to him and find a way to get the weight on. I think the problem is that the guy is a nutcase.

You'd be surprised how many members i've had to argue with. http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?showtopic=24511

Bills | Called About Edinger - from www.KFFL.com Tue, 24 May 2005 19:32:27 -0700 The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports the Buffalo Bills were the other team to call agent Ken Harris about PK Paul Edinger, before he signed with the Minnesota Vikings. Damn! At least Donahoe tried though. So we tried to get Edinger, Doug Brien, and even tried to trade up for Nugent. Yet there are still people who stand up for Lindell and think he's safe. I just don't get it.

http://www.nflplayers.com/players_network/...ion=qa&ID=37183 Roscoe claims that the Bills were his favorite NFL team as a kid. Do we buy it? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...5200992015&rd=1 Now this is interesting. The NFL Rookie Premiere took place just days ago. Topps' NFL cards aren't set to come out for months. But somehow this guy got one of Roscoe's personal cards from the set. It's really cool looking with Parrish in his shiny, new #11 home Bills jersey.

Broncos | $2.233M Allotted to Spend on Rookie Pool - from www.KFFL.com Tue, 24 May 2005 11:24:18 -0700 Lee Rasizer, of the Rocky Mountain News, reports the Denver Broncos have been allotted $2.233 million to spend towards their 2005 rookie draft class. The Broncos' rookie pool was the third lowest in the NFL behind the Buffalo Bills ($2.11 million) and the New York Giants ($1.689 million). The Broncos are currently about $2.5 million under the 2005 cap, but that number will change if they sign free agent WR Jerry Rice (Seahawks). Good for us, bad for Roscoe. Then again, we don't have a 1st to sign.

I don't believe in this statement. I hear it a lot though. Everyone makes it sound like we did Willis this great favor for drafting him and he owes us. Like Willis wasn't going to be picked a few picks later! Oakland was sitting there in the 1st EXPECTING to pick him. There were others who were willing to trade up. He was going to get picked in the 1st. Maybe not as high as #23; but to say he owes us because we picked him 3-5 picks ahead of everyone is a crock.

http://www.billsdaily.com/news/index.shtml#052405 McGahee Long Term: John Clayton of ESPN reports that the Bills are reluctant to trade Travis Henry until they lock up Willis McGahee to a long term deal. McGahee has three years left on his contract that is heavily incentive laden. If he continues at his pace, he would hit many of them and then would want to be paid like a top back. Clayton confirms reports that the Titans are the main team interested in Henry's services.

Bills | Had an Interest in Howell - from www.KFFL.com Mon, 23 May 2005 20:07:44 -0700 Roy Cummings, of the Tampa Tribune, reports free agent S John Howell (Buccaneers) said the Buffalo Bills were interested in possibly signing him. As noted earlier, Howell has narrowed his choices to signing with the Seattle Seahawks or re-signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Bills | Passing on Shelton? - from www.KFFL.com Mon, 23 May 2005 20:47:52 -0700 ESPN.com's John Clayton reports it appears the Buffalo Bills will pass on signing free agent OT L.J. Shelton (Cardinals). As noted earlier, he four visits scheduled but the Bills are not of them. Interesting notes. I am really unhappy that we aren't attempting to sign Shelton. I hope that another OT gets cut because i'm not comfortable with Gandy or Teague. The Howell thing is REALLY interesting. With Lawyer Milloy, Troy Vincent, Coy Wire, and Rashad Baker; why would we want a Safety?

Not in my opinion it isn't! I want him tied up longer than just 3 more years. Especially since he's got Rosenhaus as an agent. People call TD satan? They obviosly don't know D. Rosenhaus!

I actually agree with you. When we signed Troy Vincent, he was signed to replace Winfield. He was then switched to Safety. McGee is an all-pro returner. But in my mind, he's a journeyman corner. I see him being more of a #3. We drafted Eric King in the 5th round, but I think he's just depth. Nate Clements R.W. McQuarters Terrence McGee Eric King Kevin Thomas I don't see that being that out of the question.

I don't know if anyone caught this or not. But on the "Inside the Huddle" segment of Sportscenter at 6 today, Jon Clayton was talking about the Titans RB situation. He said that with Chris Brown injured, they really want to have Travis Henry. When Brown comes back, he and Travis would share the duties. But this is where it gets interesting...... Clayton said that the Titans seem to think that Donahoe will not trade Travis until they sign McGahee to a long-term deal! That's a side of this that I never looked at and it makes perfect sense!

http://www.nfl.com 5/23/05 Kevin Thompson's got himself a nice pic on the front page. I wonder how long it'll be there for?

Right now? Sign L.J. Shelton.

Did you just say it's okay that he can't kick field goals? Did you not see Mularkey consistently pass on Lindell? You know, times when we were looking at anything past 39 yards and we punted? Mularkey didn't even try him ONCE from beyond 50! And do you know why that is? It's because he has no faith in him. Rightfully so! Why don't you come down to training camp this year and watch the guy kick? Hell, i'll sit there with you. I live in Rochester, just tell me when you're coming. The guy can't kick it straight to save his life. He missed a 25 yarder!! Yeah you're right bud. Lindell isn't on the hot seat. That's why we have 2 other kickers on the roster and we're looking to add a 3rd. That's why it was reported that Buffalo was one of the teams trying to get Brien and were trying to trade up for Nugent. What was I thinking?

I hear you there! Even when he does make it, I always have to hold my breath. His kicks ALWAYS look like they could go either way. I've never seen him hit a kick right in the middle. Mularkey obviously has no faith in him. He either went for it on 4th or punted the ball away when we were past yard 37.

I hate Rian Lindell. I f-cking HATE Rian Lindell! The only people I hate more than Rian Lindell are the people who stand up for him and say he's a good kicker. Give me a break! But i'll calm my bitching down because it looks to me like we're finally going to remedy our problems at kicker. Right now, we're rocking out with 3 kickers on our roster. Usually, we only have 2. So that raises a red flag to me. On top of that is all the reports from credible sources that we were chasing Doug Brien, trying to trade up for Mike Nugent, and are close to signing Matt Payne. But if Matt Payne doesn't get signed and Joe Rheem is just fodder, then the Chicago Bears will answer our problem. Let me explain...... The Bears recently signed Doug Brien to a fair deal. He will be their kicker in 2005. This made them release Paul Edinger. He's a good kicker and he would be an upgrade from Lindell. But not only was Edinger a casualty, famed Boise St. kicker Tyler Jones will be as well! The Bears signed him after the draft and now don't have a spot for him. They'll probably let him show his skills in the preseason and then cut him loose. So we have Edinger on the loose and Jones soon to follow in the coming months. But it doesn't stop there! The Bears also signed Nick Novak after the draft. Nick Novak was the kicker from Maryland who was rated higher than Payne and Rheem on draft boards. So the Bears are going to cut loose Edinger, Tyler Jones, and Nick Novak. One of them (Tyler Jones please!) should be our new kicker if Payne doesn't come into town.

I DON'T KNOW!!!!! I really hope we sign him. The guy is a good tackle. He just needs the right coach and there isn't a better coach than McNally. Maybe TD doesn't like him for some reason. But to say that Gandy is better than Shelton is just retarded.

TKO!

NFL | Crosby to Apply for Supplemental Draft - from www.KFFL.com Fri, 20 May 2005 09:01:28 -0700 The Spartanburg Herald-Journal reports Clemson WR Roscoe Crosby is applying to enter the NFL through the supplemental draft. "It's been a difficult road for me, but I've always wanted to be a professional athlete," Crosby said. "I've been really happy with my progress, so that's what led to the decision." The supplemental draft is typically held a week before July training camps begin. Crosby is 6-foot-3, 208 pounds. If Crosby isn't selected, he will become a free agent and can sign with any team. Crosby has been playing minor league baseball and has not stepped on the football field since 2001. Crosby said he will hold a workout for pro scouts at an undetermined date close to the supplemental draft. Crosby did work out in front of scouts at Clemson's pro day March 17. He missed the deadline to declare early entry into April's draft because he was involved in an arbitration case with the Kansas City Royals. Wouldn't it be hilarious if Buffalo drafted him and we had the Roscoe twins?

The signing of Lee has me perplexed. How is he any better than Shaud Williams? He's no veteran. He came from the same draft as Willis and went undrafted. In my opinion, Shaud is better. But i'd like to see what you guys think. I'm becoming known for my polls on this board (perhaps even hated for it) and I thought it was due time for another Also, I saw this on si.com. It turned my head a little when I read it. I'm not saying we should sign him as he seems to be shot to me. But tell me this doesn't sound like our resident, demonic GM: "Running back Eddie George, for one, isn't ready to conclude a nine-year career that began with the Tennessee Titans franchise before moving to Dallas for a season in 2004. He has discussed returning to the Titans and also is exploring opportunities with Tampa Bay and another team his agent declined to reveal." -- USA Today With Chris Brown injured, i'd see Tennessee wanting TH more than George IMO

There's a Bills store in Rochester too. It's in Pittsford Plaza.
