4 PM again two and two by Sunday night three and two next week Dolphins can't play D wide receivers score 3 times Nelson gets one too

He is....for the first half. Unfortunately we will continue using the same paln in the second half regardless of the adjustments made by our opponent.

If I were Dick, McGee would be returning kickoffs this week You would also be preparing a statistical analysis calculating the odds of winning a coin toss and practicing saying "I defer".

And TO is saying "there's no place like home"

I don't blame the guy for posting the rumor because if by some chance it turned out to be right, no one would believe him later when he said "I knew he was coming into town because a buddy told me". My question is, would they really bring a new head coach candidate right into OBD for an interview with Jauron and all the other coaches sitting right there? I would think the Bills front office would be a bit more discreet than that.

This would be like the golfer who keeps buying new drivers but never takes a lesson. He's just gonna suck with a different driver.

I agree. Time to move Wood to his true position? He in the center of the future, we may as well move him there now.

You should have turned it off with 5 minutes to go and gone to bed happy.

I can't agree with you because I'm not sure I know what you mean. Comparing our former back-up quarterback to our starting RB? I'm not sure what the corelation is...

I agree that Jackson has looked very good, but keep in mind that the endzone shortened many of Peterson's runs. (four) He would have a lot more yards if it weren't for those pesky touchdowns getting in the way.

Marcus Freeman (LB) Height: 6'0" Weight: 239 College: Ohio State Conference: Big 10 Hometown: Huber Heights, OH High School: Wayne View Combine Page >> Combine Results: 40 Yard Dash : 4.74 seconds Bench Press : 30.0 reps Vertical Jump : 37.0 inches Broad Jump : 113.0 inches 3 Cone Drill : 6.98 seconds 20 Yard Shuttle : 4.12 seconds Selected by: Chicago Bears Round: 5 Pick (Overall): 18 (154) Overview Teaming with middle linebacker James Laurinaitis, Freeman helped lead a defensive unit that has ranked among the nation's elite ever since he moved into the starting lineup as a sophomore. In his three years in the lineup, the Buckeyes have ranked fifth in scoring defense in 2006 (12.77 ppg), led the nation in total defense (233.0 ypg) and scoring defense (12.77 ppg) in 2007 and gave up just 293.77 yards per game while placing sixth nationally in scoring defense (13.92 ppg) during his senior campaign. While Freeman may not have garnered the national attention afforded Laurinaitis and cornerback Malcolm Jenkins, the OSU coaching staff regarded Freeman as its most important defensive player. He not only brought classic tackle technique, quickness, power and intelligence to the field, but he was also one of the most versatile linebackers in the country. During his career, Freeman has performed at all three linebacker positions, having also started on the strong side as a sophomore before establishing himself as the premier weak-side linebacker in the Big Ten Conference during his final two campaigns. Freeman was rated as one of the top three overall prospects in Ohio as a senior at Wayne High School, earning Parade All-American honors as a senior. The four-year starter was also a two-time All-Ohio first-team selection. As a senior, he recorded 127 tackles, four sacks, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries. He also totaled 152 tackles, including 29 behind the line of scrimmage, and eight sacks as a junior. In addition to lettering in football, he competed in the 4x100-meter relay and threw the shot and discus for the school's track team. Freeman was the top recruit in Ohio State's 2004 class. He appeared mostly on special teams as a true freshman, posting four tackles (one solo). He was scheduled to be the top reserve at outside linebacker in 2005, but in the season opener vs. Miami (Ohio) he suffered a knee injury that would sideline him for the year, earning a medical hardship. In 2006, Freeman replaced a departed Bobby Carpenter at strong-side outside linebacker, starting 11 of the 13 games he played in. He finished tied for second on the team with 71 tackles (34 solos), adding one sack and 2.5 stops for loss. He intercepted a pair of passes and deflected six others. Looking to free up their fastest linebacker, Freeman shifted to the weak side upon the graduation of Larry Grant. He earned second-team All-Big Ten Conference honors in 2007, also picking up Academic All-Big Ten accolades. He registered a career-high 109 tackles (66 solos), second on a team that led the nation in total defense and scoring defense. His 9.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage and two forced fumbles saw the Buckeyes finish third in rush defense (82.85 ypg). Freeman was again named Academic All-Big Ten Conference and second-team All-Big Ten as a senior. He placed second on the team with 84 tackles (39 solos) while starting all 13 games from weak-side linebacker. He broke up four passes and recovered a fumble while also coming up with 3.5 sacks and 9.5 stops for loss.

Analysis Positives: A bit shorter than scouts would like, but a well-built athlete with room for additional mass. ... Instinctive defender who flows to the ball quickly. ... Athletic enough to elude blockers and make plays at or near the line of scrimmage. ... Reliable open-field tackler. ... Breaks down well and can drive the ballcarrier into the ground. ... Good awareness and speed in coverage. ... Gets good depth on his drops. ... Reads the quarterback's eyes and closes quickly. ... Excellent special teams player. ... Tough and plays through pain. ... Solid week of practice at the Senior Bowl. Negatives: A bit smaller than scouts would like. ... Likes to avoid blockers rather than facing them up and struggles in disengaging. ... Lacks the bulk to hold up when targeted in the running game. ... Athletic in coverage, but seems content to allow the reception to be made and make a secure tackle, rather than breaking on the ball. ... Has struggled with durability: torn knee ligaments and a subsequent staph infection forced him to redshirt the 2005 season. Had his knee scoped following the 2007 season for a possible torn meniscus. Struggled through the 2008 season with a recurring ankle sprain. Injury Report 2005: Missed the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury vs. Miami (Ohio) in the season opener (9/03), as he developed staph infection that prevented him from returning to the field. 2007: Underwent arthroscopic knee surgery after the season to repair a meniscus tear. 2008: Hampered during parts of the season with a recurring ankle sprain. http://www.nfl.com/draft/2009/profiles/mar...reeman?id=80642

This was from their board after he was drafted: Jamon Meredith 6'5" 305 lbs Combine Results: 40 Yard Dash : 5.03 seconds Bench Press : 31.0 reps Vertical Jump : 28.0 inches Broad Jump : 105.0 inches 3 Cone Drill : 8.01 seconds 20 Yard Shuttle : 4.82 seconds This kid is smart as Hell too! I know it is so cliche, but Jamon may emerge as one of the draft's biggest sleepers in this draft. We are talking academic All American, 3.75 grade-point ave, '08 Harold White Award for his academic excellence '06 Andrew Sorensen Scholar-Athlete Award... For the life of me I have NO IDEA why this kid dropped. Had to sit out the first two games because of redshirt rules, but started at left guard as soon as he was eligible to return. The season before Jamon started all 12 games at LT and was named his team's Outstanding Offensive Lineman -- with 75 knockdowns, 12 TD-resulting blocks and gave up just 3 sacks on 443 pass plays. Like I said, I love this pick. http://www.packerchatters.com/4ums/index.php?showtopic=14454

They fell for the trap too. Sometimes you have to let a few mice eat the cheese before you drop the bar down on their necks. That's the benefit of having a genius for a head coach.

I'm no lip reading expert but I believe he said "cheese is healthy". It's part of a new promotion he is working on with Kraft.

Great list. What is interesting is that reading this made me re-live the strange feeling that we Bills fans expersience more than any other fan base. This sense of skeptical euphoria followed by a sinking dread and an I can't believe they sucked me in again aftermath. Several of my friends and relatives discussed this feeling this week, where you don't want to believe we can finally close out a tough game, you finally give in and enjoy the moment and then watch in dread as it falls appart right before your eyes. Both my son (8) and my nephew (13) have said to my brother and I at seperate times. "i'm not sure if I want to be a Bills fan anymore because it hurts my heart when they lose." I know the feeling.

I'm not sure I get the sign. What is it supposed to mean. I get the referrence to Leodis taking a knee but why Toronto on top?

That is scary. I take indomethecin for gout. Was it the first time you used it or a cumulative effect?

I just saw it on ESPN News. Unbelievable, they are playing teasers with things like "it only took one game for T.O. to turn on his QB, wait til you here his comments after the commercial." His comments are no big deal. He's basically saying that he and Lee Evans were open a few times and Trent didn't see them. He also said that did not cost them the game. Much ado about nothing. Receivers always say they are open on every play. ESPN is anxious to make T.O. out to be a team killer.

That is very funny by the way.

IIR the official ran out at the last minute and moved the ball at least a half yard forward. Jaws said something like "that's a very fortuitous spot for the Patriots". I got a couple of calls from friends of mine who are not Bills fans saying, "man, you guys are getting screwed."

It is. There is another ESPN commercial with him where he is standing in line at a metal detector and he is behind Adam Vinatieri who keeps setting off the detector with his superbowl rings. Kelly keeps getting pissed off. I thought for sure they would play that one last night.

I think he is directing this comment at the coaches and front office. I remember him being upset that he was put on the IR last time because he fet like he could have played at the end of the season. This looks like his way of saying"don't do it again".

I agree. I was impressed with our run D. That combined with the consistant pass rush forced Brady to use a lot of intermediate routes. Unfortunately, we could not stop those.

The Bears were pursuing him to replace Urlacher and then backed off today. He may not be ready to play for some reason.
