Criticizing Nix because he and 30 other NFL GMs passed on Gaither?
And before Gaither has even hit the field, if he does.

You are making that up. Who wanted Brandon Albert? If there was a clamor for his services it certainly didn't come from a lot of people.
Your memory must be failing.

There have been Wildcat formations at TC, but the majority of it will be installed when they go back to Buffalo. They're not going to show you what they're doing in sessions open to anyone.
And the Wildcat has had less success because teams haven't been able to throw from it. The Dols drafted Pat White for that reason, but he was a bust. We'll see if Brad Smith can do it and I've read reports of him throwing well.

I remember a lot of people here wanted Brandon Albert in 2008.

Seeing as how Roscoe is hurt (again), it might be time to part ways with him. That would open up a roster spot.

Fish Heads, fish heads, rolly polly fish heads...
Roly poly fish heads, are never seen drinking cappuccino, at Italian restaurants, with Oriental women...yeah.

BTW, this is yet another opportunity for Ralph to move that he won't be taking.

Isn't it obvious? They've looked horrible in every, single pre-season game. Oh, wait a second....
"We talkin' 'bout practice..."

Just because everyone returned doesn't mean they're level of play can't regress. What are u talking about?
That's the spirit.

Heard on the radio this morning that Schefter said its between Raiders and Chargers in the LA sweepstakes. He ruled out Bills, Jags and Vikes.
The question is, are they looking for one team, or two?

Here in CT, state workers had a chance to vote for $1.6B (probably won't save even half that, but it's a start) in concessions or be faced with over 5,000 layoffs. And while 57% of members and 11 of the 15 unions voted for the deal, there needed to be a "supermajority" of 14 unions to pass the deal. So layoff notices went out and people freaked. The union bosses went back to Democratic guvna Dannel P. Malloy and said they wanted to change the voting rules (simple majority), which they did, and re-vote, and it's expected to pass. We shall see.
-
The latest word is that it will be the Chargers moving. If they don't, which seems unlikely, it's the Raiders, Rams, Jags, and Vikes, then Bills, but Bills and Vikes are unlikely.

Actually, old vets with bad knees are better than Wang now.
I love the absolutes that this topic engenders, very much like Bills' FO approach to the OL situation. On one hand you realize that the OTs need to be upgraded, so you throw the bank at a Pro Bowler. When you fail to land him, you revert to your original roster, which is weak.
The issue isn't so much whether Bell can be a decent OL, but the fact that he hasn't played a full season at his position in his career, and when he's playing, he's adequate at best. You can get by with an adequate LT for a while, if you have a very strong interior. But despite high hopes for the G-C-G, they did not dominate in games. Add the mess at RT, and the high probability that Bell will be hurt again (assuming that he returns to form after the CURRENT injury), your LT backups are not NFL worthy.
But don't take my word for it, listen to the high praise the coach gave his backups a few days ago.
Bell played all 16 games last season, Gerry. And he was still recovering from his ACL. As for the interior, Wood was also still recovering. He should be even better this year, and the Bills will be better with him starting at center. True backup depth is worrisome.

I wouldn't say Donald Jones is a lock to make this team. I think as of now he will, but if Buster Davis can show some skills on Special Teams too I wouldn't be all that surprised if he made it in favor of him. As for TE, I think Nelson is the odd man out at this point. He's hurt once again, hasn't showed anything when he is healthy and since Chandler and Martin are both looking solid, Nelson has to compete with desperate undrafted rookies like Pinalto who don't look all that bad.
Davis did nothing in his time is SD. At least Jones was a rookie last year and had some flashes and has potential. And he's excellent on ST's. There's almost no way I see Davis sticking.
Easley will get IR'd if he's not ready to play. They aren't going to cut him unless there is some long-term injury issue or serious attitude problem.
IR is another option. But if they do that, his season is over again.
I am not sure why Roosevelt seems to be such a "lock". I know he's easy to root for, but looked very easy to cover in his brief playing time last year, and dropped a few easy ones. I think there are guys with a much higher upside on this roster. I'm not smashing him, he very much has a chance to make the team...But with the pickups of Smith and Davis, he seems to be on the outside looking in right now. I also don't seem him beating out Jones, who looked faster and more physical, as well as being a solid ST guy.
Smith will take one of the 3 QB's spots. And Davis doesn't stand a chance. Roosevelt has been catching everything and as per Fitz, knows where to be.
-
Given Easley's setback, I don't see Evans or Parrish being moved. And Roosevelt isn't going anywhere. If Easley can't make it back soon and stay healthy (finally!), he'll be cut and probably put on the PS. The same goes for Shawn Nelson, i.e. if he can't stay healthy, he's gone, but he's not PS eligible IIRC.
And Maybin is a sure goner.

"The Jets planned to keep receiver Brad Smith if they weren’t able to land Nnamdi Asomugha. They weren’t able to land Asomugha, but Smith chose not to wait around, signing instead with the Bills.
Now, if the Jets plan to keep using the Wildcat package on offense, they need someone else to run it."
Interesting. And good to know.

Rs won 4
Ds won 2
Control of Wisconsin Senate remains with the R.
Big whoop. Got to respect the will of the people though.
I'd say it's a big whoop, given all the hoopla and the chance to change the balance of power in the Wisconsin Senate, with essentially nothing happening.

See it with no expectations. It's worth a viewing.
I had no interest in seeing it as well, was dragged to it and wound up digging it.
Same here. A buddy wanted to go to a 10:30 PM showing on Saturday so I said what the heck. Decent movie. But I agree that Pinto's acting was pretty poor.
-
Please explain how they have regressed. The timing isn't completely there yet? We haven't even played a pre season game yet, and the lockout definitely delayed things a bit. The defense is getting more pressure? We upgraded our front 7, our d line is nastier and bigger and they now have a year under their belt with the 3-4 schemes and blitzes. How have we regressed?
To say the offense has regressed is incredibly premature.
-
No, posts above declared that the fish were a lock for last and would go 0-6.
I was not stating that would be how the Bills made out.
Gotcha.
-
Henne was sacked 38 times last year and the running game averaged 3.7 YPC. But Miami's O-line got worse, not better. Colombo is a severe downgrade from even a disappointing Vernon Carey (who Miami thought so much of that they forced him to take a paycut, or be cut) and they have a rookie center starting who is a far cry from his (twin) brother.
On defense they should be good. But Taylor's done and not a 3-4 player.
-
Some of you guys are setting yourselves up for a potentially very big let down.
Lock for last in the AFC East
0-6 in the division.
If we lose to the fish and/or end up behind them in the AFC east we are going to have to put you guys on suicide watch
The Bills won't go 0-6 in the division. No way, no how.
-
They don't have a running game? Because they have a rookie RB and Reggie bush? They have a beastly OL and 2 decent RBs in Thomas and bush. You don't have to have great RBs to have a good running game. The OL is the most important thing. The fact that their passing game sucks will be the biggest obstacle in having a good running game
The better RB's you have, the better your running game will be behind the same OL. Bush isn't an every-down RB and the rookie is unproven. Together they're a downgrade from Brown and Williams.
-
So they just want a commitment from a team to just move there, not sell it to them? Awesome!
It will be the Raiders and Jags. Davis has been wanting to get back into LA and the Jags get no support and have no history.
