This is where having a good rep like the Patriots comes in handy. Guys like this are willing to sign low end contracts for the chance to win a SB.
Most of them aren't too swift: it hasn't worked for 6 years and counting.

How about this?
How about you let me worry about what order to do things and I let you not worry about your head getting busted open? How does that sound?
Where to they stay Doc?
P.S. J-E-T-S Jets JEts JETS.
Yes. Then after that you can visit the Dols.

Captain Checkoff sounds like Russian military, or wasn't that the guy who fired the lasers on the SS Enterprise?
"Vere do you keep the nuclear wessels?"

Go visit the Pats first.

Next year is right. Coming back in summer of 2012.

per Mr. WEO:
"Just left practice. Yup, Merriman was there--whole practice at 1/8 speed."
That's right, it was raining. Explains the (alleged) "1/8 speed" thing.

Best wishes to him, but HIPAA violation?

I say strange moves because it is out of character with what BB has done so successfully for so long in the draft and free agency signings, and that is finding those young guys with raw talent that weren't just "big names" and that weren't going to be "problem child" players for them. I didn't say the moves stunk, just that they surprised me and seemed strange to me for the Pats.
I agree with what a few other posters have said about them seeing a window closing and trying to make moves now to try to take advantage of those players immediately. It may pay off and it may not, but Haynesworth will be interesting to watch throughout the season either way.
I also agree with those who say the Jets are the team to be worried about in the AFC east. Hopefully Sanchez will keep them from going further than they expect to.
Their 1-year (which AH, CO, and SE essentially are) deals have busted more than they've worked. As for the Jets, they lost a lot of contributors from the past few seasons during the off-season, so I'd still give the division to the Pats until proven otherwise.

He "dominated camp"--you mean for 4 or 5 days? OK--you win!! Give him the rest of the preseason off--it's only preseason, right?
4 or 5 days is a lot longer than the "15 minutes" you were giving his "broken down body." And no, just a couple days off is enough.
BTW, how's your newly motivated boy Haynesworth looking in camp?
-
Everywhere I've heard, it's ASUS hands-down.

Sgt Peppers???
Sausage and peppers?

Just left practice. Yup, Merriman was there--whole practice at 1/8 speed.
What is it you were waiting for, doc?
I was waiting for you to chime in once he missed practiced (for an injury, not to rest), while conveniently ignoring his dominating camp up until that point. Needless to say, I was 100% satisfied.
-
He did practice today (Sunday 8/7).
Well, that should silence certain people for awhile.

The Oakland Raiders let Green go after they re-signed another questionable Bills' signee in Langston Walker.
We should be signing players away that teams want to retain, not players that aren't wanted. Brad Smith was one of the former.
I don't disagree with you on Green. Just saying that his knee injury never improved and that's not something you can predict.
-
If you know someone in Bills game viewing area, you can get a Slingbox or something similar and connect it there and "sling" it to your computer. That's what I did (my bro actually game me a PCTV To Go box), so I'll at least be able to see all 8 away games and the soldout home games.

How do you figure the Jets lost more then they gained they have brought Burress and Mason in free agency to go along with santonio holmes that will be a deadly group if burress pans out they will a fantastic group... mason is old but just came off a solid season with 7 TD's over 60 catches and 800 yards.
Burress has been away from the game for 2 years, is 34, and is already injured. Mason's numbers have been trending downwards for the past 4 years, he's 37, and will have to learn a new system quickly. Beyond that, they lost Woody and Brad Smith.
-
Hey all you fanatics: When are we signing a "good" RT??? Is the front office trying? I feel the AFC East is stocking up and the Bills are not adjusting. We need a RT!!
The Jets and Dols did not "stock up" and lost more than they gained. The Pats OTOH stocked-up on older guys.
As for RT, we've been down that road already.
-
I haven't heard so much talk of explosiveness sincs Trent Edwards was piloting the no-huddle during OTA's with TO and Lee Evans looking to become the top WR tandem in the league.
The word in TC last year about the offense was nowhere near "explosive." And the guy in charge now (Fitzy) was the worst looking QB to boot.
I wasn't fond of the play calling in the Ot losses, but the play calling should've won us the Pitt game. We were driving vs the ravens when the refs forgot what forward momentum looks like when Shawn Nelson got stripped. I wouldnt blame the losses in OT on the play calling.
The play-calling had little to do with the losses.
-
The dude is 37. I'll give him credit for what he has accomplished (and he had a 61/802/7 season last year in BAL) but at some point age is going to catch up with him.
Not sure he's a downgrade from Edwards though. Braylon's numbers last year were 53/904/7.
His numbers have been dropping steadily for the past 4 years. And at 37 years old, that's not a good trend. Not to mention he has to learn a new system, quickly.

Because for us on a team that let's be honest isn't gonna be a superbowl contender, and probably at the very best may just sneak into a wc race (being optimistic) Shaun Ellis would be a waste of a roster spot, cutting off the progression of people like alex carrington, marcel dareus, and the other de's on our roster. Would be a waste of 1 year deal. Where as for the Pats who are a superbowl conttender is a much better fit for this season. Especially since they got rid of Ty Warren, and don't have a heck of a lot in the way of depth at defensive end.
Ellis would be a rotational guy with both teams. And the Pats aren't stocked with DE's. In fact, I'd dare anyone to name both of their starting DE's, much less their expected backups.
-
I think they considered Favre their starting QB for those years. If the Bills "did" what GB did with him (sit him behind Bills starter Favre), no one would be complaining to this day.
Then again, had the Bills drafted Brees, you'd have run him out of town after his 2nd season.
-
Good point--he certainly doesn't need the practice. He's game ready, by all accounts.
Good point--he certainly wasn't looking good before missing the last 2 practices, and now that he's missed them, he'll be useless to the Bills.
And funny how silent you've been on him until now. No wait, it's no surprise.
-
i am glad too. but hangman is now ,well i suppose, hung out? Thats the dilemna. Unless this urbik fellow becomes real good.
Wood was a potential upgrade this year at rg and at center. Of course Wood will become better and better at his natural position now he is healthy and that is a Big plus to our front imho
If Urbik does't pan out, they just plug Hangman in at RG. It hurts depth since Urbik can't backup at center and probably LG like Hangman can, but it's not a killer.

What did the Packers offer Barnett? The Jets Smith?
Barnett didn't offer anything to Barnett because they he was already under contract and the Packers were close to the cap. They also won a SB without him and there was bad blood there. Smith the Jets felt was a luxury for them and they were saving cap room for Holmes and Asomugha. And both were a lot younger and more expensive to keep/sign than Ellis.
Not if we had the Pats roster--that's the point being made here.
So it's a bad move if the Bills do it, but it's a good move if the Pats do it? How does that make any sense?

I think it's going to be a lot more than "a couple plays throughout the year."
And Thigpen's a pretty decent WR. Can Fitz do that?
