Tortured Soul

http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2010/04/30/fan-friday-4-30/ Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but if Chris Brown is saying that the Bills may make a move for a new LT after an assessment of the players at minicamp, and Bell is expected to be the starter, then doesn't it follow Bell will be there practicing? Either that, or Bell isn't expected to start, and they'll make a decision based on how others perform...

In solidarity with Steve, and as protest against AVP, I say we spell Buffalo with a w for the rest of the day.

How many times does Nix go on a long rant, take a breath, and then say, "The point I'm trying to make is..." God bless him.

Hey Tim, Can you give us a general impression of what you're hearing about Flozell Adams around the league (an original Gailey pick)? Is the perception that he's shot, or wants too much money, or is waiting for an injury for a chance to start? Thanks in advance.

Carrington is definitely a DE, not an OLB. I'd replace Ellison and Harris with Batten and Moats. I'd cut one of your OLinemen, probably Gaddis. I'd replace Gaddis' roster spot with Chris Ellis at OLB. I'd replace Klopfenstein with Stupar and probably the worst of the three QBs in camp with Brown.

We signed someone who wasn't good enough for first team all-MEAC? I'm rooting for this guy.

I basically agree. It just seems that we've said that about a lot of years over the past decade without ever realizing the promised payoff.

He goes into it a little more on the post-draft podcast. The draft order was determined by the regular power rankings - five or so guys' rankings averaged. So, it's not just McShay saying we're the worst.

As far as I understand the rules, until he signs his tender, we can talk to him as much as we want, bring him in for a workout, let the position coaches get to know him, etc.

I know it's not very meaningful to do these hindsight polls. Good thing we don't get charged by the topic.

If this were true, then we would have jumped at the chance to get Clausen at a second-round rate. The fact is, the difference in salary by position selected is not all that great.

Bill, I won't believe it is motivated by selling tickets until you (or anyone else) find one person that will say he wasn't buying tickets before, but will to see Spiller. I'm not sure that person exists. Now, if Spiller improves the offense to the point where they start winning games because of him, and that sells tickets, how can you fault that?

Please show up again before tomorrow's picks.

Yes, lets stockpile third-round picks so that we can get more solid foundational players like Trent Edwards, Ashton Youboty, and Chris Ellis No strategy is better than any other. You just have to execute it.

For shame, Lori.

Who says we ever would have moved on from Donahoe/Mularkey?

All I can say is that I hope the Bills don't know who they're going to get at 9. Because if they did, then they're drafting someone who they know has no shot of going in the top 8.

1. He was not such a good QB guru in Tampa. 2. What if he says the only good QB in the draft is Bradford?

http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft10/ins...%3fid%3d5120759 Anyone want to let us know who he has us taking?

FWIW, he did this crap in Georgia and Nevada - not Pittsburgh.

Tom Modrak has never traded up in his history. He doesn't make the calls.

I appreciate that the stadiums are better. But the Metrodome was built for $68 mil, which is about $162 mil in today's dollars. Meanwhile, Target Field cost $545 mil and the Vikings want a new stadium for $870 mil.

You mean buildings built with price in mind?

It's interesting that the projections for this year are very low overall. It'd be nice to see where the 2008 guys were projected, when Gholston and Derrick Harvey were the first two pass rushers off the board.
