I like the Defensive coaches Kim has learned from - Belicheat and Saban. We need some of that to rub off on our DL in the worst way! In other news: I know that you all are reading the OTA reports. How do you feel that our DL are getting "would be" sacks against the offense?! I hate hearing that Kelsay is getting sacks, it makes me think that if Butler cant block an ineffective pass rusher such as Kelsay, how is he going to fare against better competition??

Nope, no legal trial here - this topic is not that important... However, if you are referring to my request for you to back up your statements with one single shred of evidence to support your claim, why are you are unable to do so? I provided a video that immediately contradicted your ridiculous claim that Lynch takes 4 strides to cover 5 yards. All I am saying is that if you are going to scrutinize and analyze a player's skill set, at least have the evidence to backup your statements. Otherwise, your unfounded claims portray you as the individual who is driving the short bus...

Hmmm... I have seen every game Lynch has played as a member of the Buffalo Bills. Your argument states that Lynch is constantly getting caught by DBs. I ask you, how many times has Lynch successfully gotten to the second level without someone on his back?! Give me a specific instance where Lynch was running free and got caught in a footrace. I have a pretty good memory and could tell you about the interception that MLB Brandon Spoon had against the Panthers during our 3-13 season, but I cannot recall Lynch getting "hawked". Until we get effective run blocking from the OL and WRs on this team, he will never have the chance to get caught from behind (like Barry Sanders in his early years)...

Im not sure where you are getting your numbers from. Four strides to cover five yards at full speed?? NFL OL aren't even that slow! Unless you run a sub 4.46, you are not faster than Lynch, sorry. You may wanna check this video and show me where your proof is: Marshawn at full speed

Lynch does have speed, we just haven't seem him running out in the open (due to a !#$!@ OL) to display it. I dont think that he displays it running off tackle (and he tried to bounce too much outside last year), but he is plenty fast, just not Adrian Peterson fast...

"I like our guys a lot, I really do." DJ continues, "Obviously it has to translate out there on the field, but I think that we have the potential to win some games and as you know, it's really hard to win games in this league, really hard."

Dick Jauron?? Is that you?! This year, are we still going to hear "it is really difficult to win a game in this league"?

I think that they should give him an ultimatum, a date by which he should make up his mind... It's either sign with the Buffalo Bills and instantly be the one of the two starting OLBs, or miss that opportunity and sign with the Bears for a one year deal and compete for a starting OLB spot. Which is it Pisa??

I think there have been more than a few WRs that have been more talented, or physically intimidating than Jerry Rice, but here's the thing: none of them match Rice in terms of work ethic, desire, and mental focus/attitude. That is what sets him apart from the rest of the supremely talented WRs in NFL history.

Yes, that would be my idea precisely. It is a much better idea than to select an inexperienced corner, turn him into a safety, and ignore the fact that another quality speed rusher was still on the board. I also never said anything about a rook not being an impact player for years. Some rookies "get it" early and are able to contribute immediately. What if "God Forbid (knocking on wood)" Maybin gets hurt? Who would be our edge rusher to complement Schobel if that were to happen John from Hemet?? We would be in the same predicament as we were in last year...

Maybe draft a second DE - Everett Brown - rather than opting for a Safety...? Pressure up front always makes an average player in the secondary, a much better performer. I was happy with the Maybin pick, but coming away with two young edge/speed rushers would have been ideal.

I too would agree with that... Unless we're talkin about Buffalo Bills vs __________ Super Bowl tickets!

I wonder how Lebron James would do as a WR. 6'8" 245 with speed and jumping ability?? He'd be unstoppable...

I disagree with your assertion that we suck because we are starting 2 rookies on the OL, but I've been arguing the point that Hangartner may be the odd man out on the OL. Few people on this board considered the possibility, most others were shouting his praises: "Hangartner was the number 1 free agent the Bills targeted" (4 yrs/$9.6million - barely above backup salary) "Dick Jauron said that Hangartner will be the starting C" Dick Jauron says a lot of things that aren't necessarily true "Hangartner is a good center" Really? Is that why he has only started 27 out of 54 games in his career??... I think he is only marginal and I would like our real C - Eric Wood - to assume the 2nd most important position on the line starting with preseason game #1. Geoff Hangartner Draft Profile

Wow... U gotta lot of researchin to do! Let's See: 1) Jason Peters held out all of last offseason and didnt return until the first game of the season. 2) The Bills started out like a true playoff team. Comebacks and blowouts that we haven't seen in these parts in quite some time. 3) Trent Edwards gets knocked out of the game in the Bills first loss of the season against the Cardinals. He would not look like the same QB who began the year 4-0. 4) After a 5-1 start, the Bills proceed to go 2-8 the rest of the way, missing the playoffs for the 9th straight year (tied with Lions)... 5) Despite the collapse, Dick Jauron is retained as head coach after 3 straight seasons of 7-9. 6) Fans are disgusted and vow to cut the grass on Sundays rather than watch the Dick Jauron led Bills. Well, that is until they signed WR Terrell Owens (released by Cowpokes). 7) Malcontent LT Jason Peters is traded to Philly for a 1st, 4th, and conditional (6th) pick next year. 8) Terrell Owens + A Solid Draft = Renewed Optimism for the upcoming season. How did I do??

Seeing his picture, that clears up thoughts that I had concerning the possibility of relation...

That Hangartner could be the player backing up the C/G spots? If Hangartner doesn't prove to be more talented than Wood, Levitre, or Butler, he could play the same role here as he did in Carolina: backup interior lineman. IMO the line will probably read as follows: LT - Walker LG - Levitre C - Wood RG - Butler RT - Bell/Chambers Game day backups - Hangartner, Bell/Chambers

Ok I have a plan... Let's hope that Crabtree falls to 11 so that we can draft him. But DONT stop there: then, we can send our 2nd rounder to AZ for Boldin! That way we'll have Evans, Owens, Boldin, Crabtree, Reed, Parrish, Hardy, Johnson, and Jenkins all on the roster!! :wallbash:

I apologize if I dont have as much faith as you do in Kirk Chambers as a full time starter. My lasting image of him comes from the first Jets game: Kris Jenkins plows through Kirk Chambers as if he were tissue paper, leaving him on his knees and grasping for his jersey, before ultimately sacking T. Edwards.

I'd feel a lot better if a young Aaron Schobel was making these comments. Kyle Williams is an effort player, not a gifted player. I would like to hear comments about Bell from a playmaking DE...

Ok, NO MORE Tony Gonzales threads please! This issue (and exploration of a trade deal) is over and done with...

Or how about give him 9 or so games of starting experience and then outright cut him for no apparent reason? (Terrence Pennington)

NO MORE TRADING UP!! If anything, trade down and accumulate more picks. I cant remember the last time that we traded up and landed a true impact player. Like another poster said, we are not 1-2 players away from fielding a nasty team, we need lots of help and lots of draft picks.

So what you're saying is that you didn't like the Mike Williams pick?
