  1. I think he is going to make the minimum wherever he goes, and we HAVE to bring in another back from somewhere who will be making at least the minimum. I said third down back because willis is not really the hard hitting up the middle smashmouth back you want on 3rd and short. Shaud definatly isnt, and our fullback takes very few carries. I think eddie fills this role nicely.

  2. I think this would be a great move. He clearly wont be back with dallas next year. I would like to see him here in buffalo as a third down back. He is a character guy who would add a solid veteran presence to the team. He would be very cheap. Nothing not to like about this unless you are a big shaud supporter. I like shaud, but I am unsure he has what it takes if willis goes down.

  3. I know many people who have it and love it.

     

    However...Disadvantages include:

    Loss of phone with loss of cable/cable internet (and power)

    Only one phone jack per house (this can be alleviated by use of an expandable phone system)

    A router must be purchased if you dont have one. This router must have a phone jack on it.

     

    Advantages: Free long distance, and cheaper price.

  4. Big cuse fan, but im not getting excited yet by any means...

     

    Only ranked team we beat is miss st, and take a look at the score tonight. (losing 74-32 at the moment!).

     

    The cuse barely got by hofstra, providence and now georgetown, and had trouble with others.

     

    Not saying this isnt a good team, they are...but final four is a stretch at this point. If they can show me they can beat UConn, BC and Pitt, maybe...but until then, I have to be cautiously optimistic about this season.

     

    I cant wait until the big east next year. Louisville, Marquette, Pittsburgh, UConn, Syracuse, Cinncinatti, Georgetown, St. Johns, Notre Dame...LOOK OUT ACC!

     

    We need to get rid of rutgers and villanova however

  5. Travis Henry gave everything he could give to this team for 3 years. He even played with a broken leg. The guy was our best offensive player the previous 2 seasons. You cant deny that. Yes, he had a problem holding onto the football, and occasionally had trouble picking up the blitz, but what he lost there he made up in heart ten times over. Travis will never break the long run (40 yards is his career long), but even with his 5-9 frame, he will move the pile and get 4 yards every time, which is just as good.

     

    The guy gave us everything he could give us, and regardless what you guys here think, it WAS a slap in the face when mcgahee was picked. Henry was effectively told, thanks for being here...dont let the door hit you on your way out.

     

    Imagine if we had a first round pick this year (along with losman), and we used that pick to take a Quarterback in the first round. Would that be a slap in the face to Losman? Clearly it would be. Thats EXACTLY what we did to travis. He has every right to be angry with the organization. Also keep in mind that about a month before drafting mcgahee the team approached him with a contract extension.

     

    I have no problem with the way travis handled himself. He said some things immediatly after willis was drafted. He probably wishes he didnt say them, but he did, and they were understandable. He said he wants to start or be gone. Probably shouldnt have said that, but everyone knows he was thinking it. Then he shut his yapper for the entire season, and after it was done, he said he wants out, And I dont blame him.

     

    Travis will succeed elsewhere, because he is the kind of back that will. He wont be flashy, he never was. But he will get the job done, as he always has. It would be nice to see him succeed here in buffalo, but as it turns out there was a reason he was slapped in the face.

  6. If Rudi Johnson and Alexander leave their teams, then Cincinatti and Seattle will need backs. Its a net wash. Lamont Jordan will be a good back in this league. The rest of those players mentioned are nothing more than backups.

     

    Teams that need a RB

    Miami

    Cincinnatti (might be sold on chris perry...but im not)

    Indianapolis

    Tennessee (Chris Brown is good, but cant stay healthy)

    Denver (Droghns is a fluke...but denver doesnt know it yet)

    Oakland

    Philadelphia (Westbrook is a FA)

    Minnesota

    Arizona (Emmitt cant run forever)

    San Francisco (Barlow causing problems in SF)

    Seattle (Alexander FA)

     

    Available

    Rudi Johnson

    Lamont Jordan

    Edgirrin James

    Cedric Benson

    Carnell Williams

    Ronnie Brown

    Westbrook

    Travis Henry

     

    So, by my calculation 11 teams need a RB. I will leave out Denver and even Tennessee, since they probably wont be in the market for one. That leaves 9 teams.

     

    There are 8 available backs that I can think of.

     

    Demand exceeds supply. Always good news for a seller. And with the exception of Edgirrin James, TH is probably the best back of the bunch.

     

    Now, tell me the names of 10 other RBs i forgot...cuz im sure they are out there.
