  1. +1 Great move, IMO. We play Seattle this year and now we've got some serious insight into their playbook. That is worth a sixth rounder and he is a decent backup. He tore us up a couple of years ago.
  2. 2012 Buffalo Bills My projected 53 man roster [uPDATED] QB(3) Fitz is the man, no doubt about that. Gailey loves the guy. I, on the other hand, have lost trust in #14. Working on his mechanics this year have hurt him more than it has helped it has appeared.The #2 spot isn't as cut and dried. Vince Young is a cheaper alternative than Thigpen and he is a proven winner in the NFL, therefore I gotta go with VY. Grade: D+ [GRADE REDUCED] Fitzpatrick Young Smith RB(5) The Bills sport, at the very least, a top 3 running back tandem in the entire league. Freddie is healthy and ready to light up the NFL again. Spiller is in his third season and poised for a breakout year. The only battle here is between last years' draft choice Johnny White vs Tashard Choice. I went with Choice because he has started games in the NFL which would be invaluable to the Bills if something were to happen to Spiller or Fredex. Let's just hope Chan Gailey utilizes this group a ton. We need to be a run first team. Grade: A+ [GRADE UNCHANGED] Jackson Spiller Choice McIntyre Dickerson WR(6) I believe a lot of people will be surprised with how well this unit plays this year. Stevie and Donald are the starters, but you will see plenty of Nelson, who like Spiller, is in his third year which is usually the season WRs finally come into their own. I think this trio can combine for over 3000 yards. Hagan provides some veteran leadership, Graham supplies the speed. Naaman is my 53rd man on the roster. He deserves a roster spot. Grade: C+ [GRADE REDUCED] Johnson Jones Nelson Graham Easley [EDITED] Roosevelt: Naaman is my surprise player to make the cut. The kid catches everything thrown his way and can play special teams. Easley hasn't shown anything. That project is over. Hagan TE(2) Chandler proved his worth to the Bills last year and should only get better. He's a huge target and a good outlet for Fitzy if things breakdown. Smith is a decent blocker. Grade: C+ [GRADE UNCHANGED] Chandler Smith OL(11) If Cordy or Hairston can man the LT position adequately than the Bills can have a top 5 unit here. I love all the other starters. Levitre is the most underrated LG in the NFL. Wood was on his way to the All-Pro team before the injury. Both Urbik and Pears are solid to above average. We have decent depth here, with Rhinehart, and the loser of the LT battle (most likely Hairston). Urbik can play center if anything goes wrong with Wood. Grade: B- [GRADE REDUCED] Our injuries on the line has created a problem with chemistry. I'd like to see what this line can do when Wood and Pears stay in gthe lineup. Glenn Levitre Wood Urbik Pears Hairston Brown Rhinehart Young Sanders Sanborn [EDITED] Sanders and Young might make the team just so the Jets don't try to steal them from us, but keeping them both can be a problem for us at DT. Dwan Edwards and Spencer Johnson only have one or two years left on contact. We need to keep an insurance policy at that position on our roster for the future. DL(8) This is started to sound redundant, but the Bills have a top three unit in the league here, as well. We Bills fans are downright giddy at the thought of this unit playing together. Mario will demand double teams and free up at least one or two other guys to single match ups which will pose a huge problem to opposing defenses. Offenses will have to chip block our DEs using the RBs and tight ends will have to stay back and block more than they'd like to against us. Dareus and Kyle make up the best DT combo in the league and Anderson's speed rush is just the thing we need on a line full of power and speed. The Bills have some flexibility here as Dwan and Sp Johnson can play DE as well as tackle. Grade: A+ [GRADE UNCHANGED] Williams Anderson Kelsay Merrimen [EDITED] Moore: Bills like his potential. Dareus K. Williams Edwards Sp. Johnson Carrington [EDITED] Carrington has shown absolutely nothing. The Bills will keep 8 D-lineman instead of 9. LB(7) This is our weakest unit on the defense, but that's not meant to be a knock against our boys at linebacker, we're just so stacked with talent on the DL and secondary. Barnett is the best of the bunch. He can cover, and play the run. Our coaching staff has a lot of faith in Sheppard, so he must be at least adequate. So far in the preseason Sheppard looks to be a liability on defense. Morrison has been around for a while now in the NFL so he provides the D with some veteran leadership, but I believe Moats will steal his starting job shortly after the start of the season.[EDITED] Moats has already over taken the starting spot. Our other linebackers will play a significant role on special teams. Scott will be the nickel backer. Grade: D+ [GRADE REDUCED] Barnett Sheppard Morrison Carder Moats Bradham Scott DB(8) I have some concerns with this unit, but at the same time they can be special. Aaron Williams needs to get better. I don't agree with the majority of the board when it comes to AW. I thought he sucked last year, but he was a rookie and that's to be expected, EXCEPT when it comes to Gilmore. Stephon is ready to make a difference on this D as of now. The kid can play. he will get tested early and often, my bet is teams will start avoiding him well before mid-season. McKelvin is the X factor here. Call me hard headed but I still have faith in him, if he can just learn to play the ball while it's in the air. Rogers and Brooks have some promise. I love our safety tandem of Wilson and Byrd. Especially Byrd! Like he may play his way out of Buffalo, this year, that good!! I don't know if we'll be able to fit him under our cap next season. Our secondary will benefit greatly from our improved pass rush. Grade: B- [GRADE UNCHANGED] Williams Gilmore Byrd Wilson Brooks McKelvin Rogers Searcy K/P(3) Grade: A- [GRADE UNCHANGED] Lindell Potter [EDITED] Potter has been magnificent on kickoffs. He's a lock to make the roster and to be active every week. Moorman
  3. Fun fact about Bruce Smith. He has never led the NFL in sacks for the season. Hell, he never even led the AFC for that matter. Back to your question. No, Mario will not break Bruce's Buffalo Bills record of 19 sacks. Sure, he's playing on the left side and he's playing with better talent on the DL, but MW is no Bruce Smith. BS had the advantage of playing on a faster surface than MW and the Bills usually had big leads forcing the opponent to be one dimensional. He should come close though.
  4. Put him on the PUP list. If he isn't ready and able to contribute by week six then IR him.
  5. This news saddens me. I like Merriman. I wish him well.
  6. None. Pears has practiced some but hasn't played in a game, yet.
  7. The Browns are going to win it all. Look at what they did to the Packers. Guys, take it easy. it's only preseason.
  8. Chop the head(Brady) off the snake and we'll see how good all those WR's and TE's really are.
  9. The guy is literally one huge headache! I'll pass if it's for more than a second rounder.
  10. Sweet! Thanks for sharing!
  11. I was at the Pats comeback game last year. I also went to the 18pt Raiders comeback game. And I was present for the 31-0 Pats beat down. Not bad games to go to considering I live in Miami! Like most here, the one game I wish I went to is the Oilers comeback game.
  12. I like it.
  13. I'd like to see: 1. Glenn shut down Allen. 2. Our linebackers covering Rudolph effectively. 3. Fitzpatrick throwing the ball accurately. 4. A few sacks.
  14. Chan: We got 10 sacks on y'all last year!!! Us!!! Ten sacks!! Do you know how bad our pass rush was, last year?
  15. We had three guys either out or playing out of position. On top of all that it was the first preseason game of the year. When Wood and Pears return and Urbik goes back to his natural spot at RG I'm sure the offensive line will be fine.
  16. The Bills should try to emulate the Dallas Cowboys offense from the early 90's. We have the running backs and offensive line to be able to move the ball quite effectively on the ground. I fear that relying on Fitzpatrick and our current corps of receivers will be our downfall on offense this year. We need to stick to the strengths of this team and be bullheaded about it. Run, run, run, then run some more. We need to line up in the power I formation and let the running game open up the passing game. Some might say the game has changed and that strategy won't work, but I disagree. We need to go against the grain and bring back old school football. If you're a corvette, I want to he a hummer. I'm rolling over your ass. That's what I would like to see out of our Bills. Overall I liked what I had seen out of our defense. When they won on a play, they won big, allowing only a yard or two, but when the defensive line broke down or got beat I noticed our linebackers weren't there to effectively clean it up. I hope Wannstedt and company can figure out a scheme that can hide the weaknesses of our linebacking corps because I fear they will prove to be the Achilles heal of this defense. I don't want to come across as doom and gloom, because the Bills are headed in the right direction, but we're still an unfinished product. We need a number two receiver and we need our young linebackers to rise to the occasion. We might not see our defense at their very best until about mid-season. Our linebackers will be better prepared and more experienced to help this defense achieve their goals with a few games under their belts.
  17. I got 3.5 sacks with those figures! LOL
  18. Thanks, but I've been back for quite some time now (about 4 years already). I only recently changed my handle.
  19. What's up with the warning points under my post count? I haven't had any issues since '08. Parole should be over. LOL!! This statement made me laugh when I clicked on my warning points though, so it's worth it that it's there, "Clearly you are not interested in reasonable discussion with regards to JPL. Your posts have been nothing but flamebait. Please rethink tone."!! LOL!!!!
  20. Best entertainment of your life? Oh, you must be refering to the time I broke the "McGahee being active" story right before ESPN ran with it,way back in '03. Is that what you're talking about? Lol! Seriously though, I can't believe I allowed myself to get so worked up over JP Losman. I just wanted so badly for everyone to see what I seen in him. That was fun, though. I never left. Served my 3.5 years and came back to stay. The name change isn't related to my lengthy suspension. I'm not surprised no one caught on to your b.harami references. Lol!
  21. I don't think anybody likes those collars. While we're on the subject of jerseys, will the Bills be wearing blue pants on the road, Friday? I'm looking forward to seeing that!
  22. Hey, I resent that! Lol!
  23. You can start the game whenever you like.
