haha I was just thinking, I know we told Nate Clements that we wouldn't franchise him again but wouldn't it be funny as hell if we made him our transition player this year....that would surely piss him off but god would that be funny to keep him for another year or get a first for him

well I would hope that if you were from a bigger class you would pound their team considering the school he came from while very good is from the smallest classification in the state.

The rule is simple. An owner can't own two teams in the same sport. You can own a team in every sport if you have enough money as long as you dont own two. Golisano can own both the Sabres and that Bills without any fear of fine or anything like that.

ha dude jasmine is from wayland and so am i i say that cause ur from hornell.

lol about the one with two chicks in the bathroom. As for the cheerleaders I know one of em who went to high school with me and is I believe now 19 years old. In the pic she is the 2nd row from the bottom and the 2nd one from the left. Her name is Jasmine Ottman and to put it lightly she is about the biggest sl*t i know lol. She would have sex with anything. She told me she would sleep with me if i took her to prom. So if your lookin for a quick cheerleader nail she'd be the one to go after.....plus she isn't attractive when you take off all the makeup

i understand what you mean about lighter guys not being able to stop the run, but stopping the run is not solely based on how big guys are. Teams with great team speed on defense dont necessarily need to have big run pluggers because they are so quick that they swarm to the football and bring down the ball carrier with 5 or 6 people. Football is not just about playing with the biggest guys. As a coach i've seen many young men who can bench press 400 pounds or so and weigh about 270 but do not even come close using those strength numbers on the field. What they say about heart and passion is not just a cliche in the game of football. The man who wants it more will almost all the time win out in the game of football. These 305 pound DT's that your worried about if they have a strong will and passion and use the power they have on the field can get excellent leverage against o-lineman and be a much more disruptive force than a 340 pound guy who is told to basically not move. As for the cover 2 of course its not just a base cover 2 all the time. Technically the cover 2 requires bigger CB's who may not have top line speed but are very physical corners. The safeties dont need to be big guys in a cover 2 but they have to have great team speed and need to be able to fly up in the alleyways to support the run when need be. In the cover 2 a CB will tend to be in the face of the WR with an outside leverage(outside of the WR). They will run with the WR most of the times for 10 yards or so and then come back to the flat usually occupied by LB's in most defenses. The reason why the Corners play outside of the WR in the press is because the CB's want to funnel everything back inside. By doing this it makes the job on the safeties much easier. If a WR were to get outside of the CB say on a fly route(straight down the field), it would be a much much longer run for the safety and the chances of getting there in time are slim. In a base cover 2 the safeties have each half of the field. Most of the time the safeties will line up inside the hashes and then run to the outside. Try to visualize it in ur head because its hard without a picture. If u visualized it right, you would probably be thinking well wow then the whole middle of the field should be wide open. This is where offenses usually try to pick apart a cover 2 defense. This is why you hear so much that the cover 2 has to have a smaller yet athletic MLB. This is because the MLB is responsible for getting a deep drop into pass coverage and they have to get a good 20 yards back to cover the middle of the field. Without an athletic MLB this defense doesn't work. Now obviously not all cover 2 defenses are like this. You can play a press or a soft cover 2(playing off the WR). You can play man to man on one side of the field and still play a cover 2 on the other. There are many different variations. Bills fans are so used to seeing bigger more stout defenses to stop the run which is probably why most go well if we dont have a big DT we can't stop the run but that can't be further from the truth. A team, even if smaller, if they fly to the football can easily stop the run just as or more successfully then a bigger defense. I believe the cover 2 will eventually be a good defense here but be patient you need the right talent to run it and we may not have it right now.

As a football coach the 3 technique lines up on the outside shoulder of the guard. The 3 technique is supposed to be a really quick kid who penetrates the B gap in the offensive line. His job is too blow up the play as quickly as possible with speed into the backfield. The 1 technique or the Nose tackle lines up on the inside shoulder of the guard. He tends to be a bigger guy. A guy who can plug up the middle a little bit but also good enough to defeat two guy the center and the guard if need be. He usually holds up at the point of attack and tied up blockers so the MLB who has control of the strongside A gap can make as many plays as possible. Obviously this differs in the Tampa 2 as the 1 or Nose would be smaller but still bigger then the 3 and is also looking to get in the backfield. The 3 technique always lines up to the strongside or the strength of the formation while the nose or 1 technique lines up to the weakside of the offensive formation. Just thought I'd give ya a little football 101

reportedly the bills signed WR Martin Nance out of Miami(OH)

When was the last time we drafted an FSU player anyways? I dont recall many ....Lonnie Johnson has to be the last one....so how are we not drafting anymore FSU asswhipes when we've taken one in like 10 years that i can remember

I'll go out there we trade down and pick Donte Whitner S Ohio State......hey it happened once with an Ohio State secondary guy why not again.

I doubt it....my guess in a trade down with like Philadelphia would be for someone like Donte Whitner S Ohio State, Ernie Sims LB Florida ST(Cover 2 fit), or Winston Justice....but to be honest i dont think Philly wants to trade up to get a DT I think they want Justice and are willing to trade up to get him.

i can understand where your comin from i really can and yes bunkley for the most part only was a stud for one year at the college level but there are many reasons for that. He first of all in his first 2 years didn't play just because he was at FSU which has a butt load of talent. His third year he was apart of a rotation. If you watch FSU games you'll notice FSU rotates a ton of players around and only leave in one DT most of the game. Bunkley wasn't that DT till his senior year. The fact you even mentioned Wadsworth shows how unknowledgable you are with FSU because Wadsworth despite busting in the NFL was a two time All American which proves that it doesn't matter how well you play at the college level the NFL is a different ball game. I'm not gonna assume too much but I assume you want Ngata. Well if you look Ngata really was only a stud for one year as well this year. Plus Ngata was at Oregon which usually doesn't have the talent that FSU has year in and year out. I guess you need to tell the Bengals what a bad decision they made taking Carson Palmer # 1 after only having one good year in college. If you want to compare stats Bunkley absolutely dominates Ngata in every stat from this past year. Frankly i'm a Bills fan and an FSU fan so i have bias but no matter who Buffalo picks I have to live with it and will learn to accept the pick so whether its Bunkley, Ngata or someone else then i'll live with it, I just wanted you to know that Bunkley was no workout warrior.

I just looked at the bottomline and yes it was reported by Clayton but it said that the Bills have agreed to trade Eric Moulds to the Texans for undisclosed pickS. So there might be more then one pick coming our way. It is very possible that the Bills will get a pick in next year's draft.

I'm gonna say the same thing that i said on nfl draft countdown about him. He didn't benefit from Williams and Lawson none of them benefitted from each other. I'm an FSU fan and i've seen a ton of their games and most of the time it was McCargo getting double teamed letting Mario and Lawson go one on one with the tackles. I'm not saying Williams and Lawson never got doubled but there is a lot of times where they are one on one while McCargo gets doubled. They are all very talented and if McCargo had stayed in school another year he would have been a sure fire 1st rounder next year.

that is just from some random joe on an internet board he might have some credibility but he isn't the end all of discussion

exactly out of the list of QB FA's I said if we were gonna bring in a 3rd guy I want it to be Craig Nall. I think he could be a solid QB in this league but has never been given a chance to thrive.

Uh they said Adams didn't fit their new system so what makes people think an older fatter Ted Washington would? Most people just want him here becuase he was a fan favorite when he was first here, but the fact is his skills have declined he doesn't fit what were doin and he would take up a roster spot for a younger up and comer.

An EFA is an exclusive rights FA which means he has no power to negotiate with other teams. If he is tendered he is with the Bills next year. Done! An RFA is tendered on 3 levels lowest you get a pick of the round the player was drafted in. Middle a first rounder and highest a 1st and 3rd rounder. Thus Jason Peters an EFA was tendered so he can't negotiate with other teams and will be a Bill next year.

I bet we shock everyone and take Bunkley.

Out of all those options. .....I'd say McCown but I think he will get a lot of interest, and I have always really liked Craig Nall. They said they would bring in a non marquee guy who got overlooked in a place like Young in Tampa and I feel with some coaching up Craig Nall could be successful in this league much like Jake Delhomme.

Its funny how when we brought him in for a FA visit last year every Bills fan was like why the hell would we sign this guy he is already what we have a white DE who is high motor and lacks sufficient athleticism then he has a bust out year and all Bills fans were looking at him as a good option this year.

I think it is a good possibility that D'Brick falls to the Bills who is gonna take him besides the Jet SF just put in a bunch of money on Jennings and have Kwame Harris at the other end Oak has Gallery on one side and they supposedly love Williams and if he isn't there they will most likely take Ngata If the Jets pass on him there is no point in trading up unless you think someone might try to trade ahead of us.

playing a bit too much of madden eh?

I think the OC situation wont matter much becuase I think that if Sherman is hired he will call the plays anyways.

yea cause the guy who was alert in front of him had some really good drafts with Donahoe.
