  1. Garrard would be a great pickup. Is Billy Volek available after the season?
  2. We could target Mike Leach's kid as his OC.
  3. He was clearly in left field after the hit last week. He basically got run over. Not a surprise that he is out.
  4. He got a good push in the run game and played to the whistle. I watched him most of the game and was impressed. He had a few pancake blocks out there. Imagine if he knew the offense. The penalty on Seau was not a terrible penalty; it does show he is being watched as it was behind the play.
  5. The Senior Bowl is all about the practice sessions. Many scouts don't even watch the game. Tebow and McCoy will get evaluated at their pro days. The scouts will look at their film to determine accuracy, decision making under pressure, competitiveness, etc. I doubt either one of them makes or breaks their opportunity in the Senior Bowl.
  6. I watched Clausen play Syracuse in 2008 in some winter weather last November. He was harrassed all day by Arthur Jones and the Syracuse defense and still managed to put up 22-39 for 300 yards with 2 TD's and no int's in a losing effort. It's a snapshot but compare that to TE and the disaster versus Cleveland last year. Clausen can play in any weather.
  7. Ellis came right up middle. Not sure what play call can make up for that blocking.
  8. Unfortunately we need all of the above.
  9. Best thing for who? The retired players? The Twitter community? The best thing for me is for the team to stay in Buffalo another 50 years. Great win today! Go Bills!!!!! Maybe the best thing is a new owner coming in and moving them out of Buffalo
  10. Good problem to have. The team is interesting again. Good for Perry!
  11. Moorman had some big moments too.
  12. A lot of these guys are on the team next year regardless of the coach so you want to see them suceed. I hate playing for draft position every year. Good teams draft well regardless of spot.
  13. The crowd was wild in the 4th quarter, had to love it!
  14. Got to give the guy credit, should have won last week too. Buffalo has one of the most patchwork Olines U could find yet this team came to play. No quit!!!!!!
  15. Interior lineman, we are ok if Wood is healthy. Butler is always hurt and we need a LT. Not sure I agree that we may not need to do much. Other x factor is coach and what offense he runs. Shanahan used mobile lineman.
  16. I say Carter, Rice, Emmit, Haley and Cortez Kennedy, Gotta have some defensive guys in the Hall. Haley was dominant. Sharpe will get votes for having so many catches as a TE. Tough group to choose from.
  17. Grimm has had success everywhere he's been and is ready to be a HC. Not the worst idea I have read here.
  18. It is dumb to limit any possiblilities due to where someone grew up. They either have what it takes or not regardless of their hometown. These guys will all get a chance to work out for the scouts, all these games stats go out the window. Someone we haven't mentioned will emerge and one of these name guys will drop. The late John Butler used to have a local radio show and he always talked about how scouts segregate performances against Pittsburgh St. or the SEC. No ones numbers against inferior competition will mean a thing. Clausen scans the field well and throws to the second or third option frequently. He throws to the correct shoulder so run after catch yards are available. These are good traits whether you are from California or Delaware. He steps up in the pocket and slides his feet to buy time while keeping his eyes downfield, traits Trent Edwards does not show after three years. Bradford has a good arm, scans the field well. I worry about the thin frame and the injuries. He looked like a deer in the headlights against Florida in the Championship game last year. Tebow will be interesting to watch. He is such a competitor and a great athlete, he gets your attention. Workouts for scouts will show if he has the accuracy the NFL requires. He will need refinement with his techniques. Shanny's close relationship with Urban Meyer makes me wonder if he would give him a look.
  19. Along with the pain of the SB losses came the joy of the Houston comeback, the elation of the 51-3 drubbing of Oakland on the home turf, the annual waive off to Miami as we sent them home for the winter, I will take winning all day over the nonsense of Jauron. Bring in a winner like Shanahan any day. It's all good. If we somehow make it to SB #5, I will worry about the emotional pain of losing it then. I remember the pain of all four losses. It still stings today if I let it. That pain is STILL better than the crap we have watched this past decade.
  20. Parcells also walked into a terrible situation in NE with similar problems and drafted Drew Bledsoe and got them to the SB vs the Pats.
  21. He is getting paid now for doing nothing. I have seen no evidence that the guy does not have a fire for winning. Bring on the 2 time Super Bowl champ.
  22. Shanahan would build from the ground up too. We will likely have a top 5 draft pick, so it is pretty close to the ground. Shanahan, like Weeb Ewbank has won a few games which is a good start if you want to win a championship. There is no guarantee regardless of who is brought in, contrast that to hiring Dick Jauron, a career loser. I am all for Shanahan and applaud Ralph for taking a run at him.
  23. My take is Shanahan and Russ do the meet and greet. Shanahan's agent would then get involved if he is still interested. Ralph would have to put a buyout clause in there that would guarantee Shanahan final say.
