Albany,n.y.

Only with a year's supply of undetectable steriods.

When McNally was OL coach of the Giants, he met Gudmundsen at the Giants camp in Albany. I think Gudmundsen was working security at Giants' camp. He's known him for a while.

A GM can't let the players dictate when, to whom and what the team gets back. Darick Holmes got us a 4th when he was in the last year of his contract-but he was traded to a team that lost a RB during the season. With all the RBs available, trading Henry on the draft days would not yield the maximum return. If the GM of the team YOU HAVE SIGNED A CONTRACT WITH is taking a wait & see attitude to get the maximum value for you in a trade, if you do things like mouthing off about never playing for that team again-diminishing your trade value, you should not expect the team to give a rat's @ss about your wishes. TD will get maximum value if he trades Henry. If he doesn't feel he's getting sufficient return, then at some point having a backup the caliber of Henry for 1 more year is better than a low pick who has less than a 25% chance of making the team. If Henry doesn't want to show up, he can flip burgers for minimum wage until he realizes just how good he has it. The other team's GMs should concentrate on running their own teams instead of trying to run the Buffalo Bills. Almost every time the Cardinals get a decent player, the guy ends up a holdout, because the Bidwells are so friggin cheap. Let them run their own team & let TD run ours. I guarantee Travis Henry will never be a GM, and the Cardinals couldn't do any worse than they've done over the last few decades if he was running the show.

He won't hold out this year. He figures to have a big season & then try to really get some big $. Depending on what incentives are in the contract, he might not have to hold out, or he might have such a high 2006 cap # with incentives kicking in the Bills may be the ones renegotiating in order to bring his cap # down.

Here's his profile from SportsXchange's NFL Draft Scout, seems to be getting better each year 2/2 50+ this year, data disputes some of the things in negatives, but then again, Lindell looks good on paper too: Joe Rheem, K, Kansas State Name: Joe Rheem College: Kansas State Number: 15 Height: 6-0 Weight: 217 Position: K Pos2: Class/Draft Year: Sr/2005 40 Time: Projected Round: http://www.nfldraftscout.com/members/ratin...order=ASCStock: Rated number 6 out of 32 K's 489 / 1479 TOTAL Combine Results Pro Day Results Combine Invite: yes Height: 6002 Weight: 217 40 Yrd Dash: 20 Yrd Dash: 10 Yrd Dash: Wonderlic: 14 225 Lb.

He made 11-of-13 field goals, including season-long 55-yarder and converted 76 of 78 extra-point kicks. Rheem threw for more than 1,700 yards and had a 48-yard average as a punter his junior year.

13-3 Super Bowl Champs*** ***10-6, no Super Bowl if Lindell is the kicker

Remember the replays using the Vikings radio team that day: "He missed it again...Get the hell out of here!"

The Bears have the right idea. Their kicker blew last year & they have a guy in Europe & just signed 2 undrafted free agents.

He was on for about 2 minutes & didn't say anthing new

nm

I want to bring every free agent kicker into camp & boot Lindell. We must have a new kicker next year. Although I want to bring in rookies, I hope one ends up a kickoff specialist & we get Vanderjagt

They had the signing on the local sportcast on ch 23

The main thing I don't like about Kiper's Draft Report is that he pumps up each guy's profile with a rehash of his career and gives very little data on his strengths & weaknesses. It's what guys like dave Te' Thomas call a comic book.

The smartest thing I ever heard about the difference between the guys who write the draft books & the NFL teams is that the NFL teams have access to the latest & complete medical reports on these players & the writers don't. Do you think we drafted Willis without thoroughly reviewing all available medical records? Do you think Mel Kiper Jr., who listed Willis as his 4th RB, behind L.Johnson, O. Smith & M.Smith and projected him going to Houston in round 3 at pick 67 was going over the same stuff TD & his staff had access to?

Even stupider are the draft sites that will call players reaches or steals based on where THEY thought the player would be picked. Here are some of the Sporting News value board differences (from the magazine's 4/29 issue): Kay-Jay Harris 3rd, Gore& Clarett 6th, Joel Dreessen 3rd, Michael Munoz 3rd, Logan Mankins 4th, Adam Terry 5th, Michael Roos 6th, CJ Brooks 4th, Ben Wilkerson 2nd, Scott Mruczkowski 4th, Richie Incognito 6th, Bill Swancutt 3rd, Anttaj Hawthorne 2nd, Jon Babineaux 3rd. Let the GMs do their jobs-unless you're talking about the guys who were running Cleveland until this year-a three year old randomly picking could have done better than those guys.

These are the guys I drafted ( I made my picks when the Bills went on the clock) & who I'd bring in as undrafted free agents. I'd bring in as many kickers as I could, like we did in 1985 & boot Lindell 2) Adam Terry OT (Drafted by Baltimore 2nd) 3) Ronald Fields DT (Drafted by SF 5th) 4) Jason Brown C (Drafted by Baltimore 4th) 5) Eric King CB-BILLS 5th 6) Cody McCarty TE Undrafted 7) Chris Onorato K Undrafted Free Agents I'd bring in : Geir Gudmundsen OT Dan Connolly G CJ Brooks G Ben Wilkerson C Jesse Lumsden RB Will Matthews FB Jamaica Rector WR Cody McCarty TE (my 6th) Derreck Robinson DE Russ Rabe LB Derek Wake LB Roger Cooper LB Aric Williams CB Matt Grootegard S James King S/ST Chris Onorato K (my 7th) Tyler Jones K John Marino K

I'm picking Chris Onorato K Hofstra with the 7th pick & if TD wants to win us over, he'll pick a kicker too. Maybe Onorato over Tyler Jones because Onorato has more bad weather/wind experience

Interesting pick by NE. Matt Cassel backup QB to Leinart at USC

I'll even send Travis there for MVJ

I'll take their liquored up kicker over a sober Rian Lindell. Indy just took Dave Rayner K Michigan St

Bench Reps: Vertical Jump: Broad Jump: 20 Yrd Shuttle: 3-Cone Drill: DRAFT BIOGRAPHY OVERVIEW A model of consistency, Geisinger has been one of the few bright spots for the Commodores' program since arriving on campus as a freshman. This massive road grader is one of the finest trap blockers in the country. He knows how to use his size and aggressive nature to engulf defensive linemen that dare to challenge him in the trenches. Geisinger attended Mount Lebanon (Pittsburgh, Pa.) High, where he earned second-team All-State honors as a senior. He led the team to an 11-2 record and the state quarterfinals that year and was named to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "Fabulous 22" and the Pittsburgh Tribune Review "Terrific 25" squads. He was the starting left tackle for the Pennsylvania team in the "Big 33" Classic and was also selected All-District and All-Conference. Geisinger played on the baseball team that won the 1998 Western Pennsylvania Championship. He was a member of National Honor Society and high honor roll student, graduating with a 4.0 grade point average. Regarded as the school's finest prospect on the offensive line since the days of Will Wolford (1982-85), Geisinger brings a love for the game, a strong desire to succeed and stellar leadership ability to this young team. He is one of the strongest players on the college gridiron, boasting several team records in the weight room, including a 600-pound bench press, 43 repetitions of the 225-pound bench press, 650-pound squat and 1,600-pound total weight (bench/squat/clear). Geisinger has started every game (43) that he has played in for the Commodores, including a string of 26 consecutive games, before being sidelined for several contests due to injury in 2003. The two-time team captain is a devastating run blocker, but also shows great technique in protecting the quarterback's blind side from the blitz and pass rush. ... Even for a player of his size, he does an excellent job of staying low in his stance and exploding off the snap to immediately gain leverage. ANALYSIS Positives... Has a massive frame with a thick chest, wide waist and hips, big bubble, thick legs and good leg drive. ... Collegiate tackle who could shift to guard at the pro level to take advantage of his trap blocking ability and strength. ... Enforcer-type who does a good job of staying low in his pads, coming off the snap with arms properly extended to get under the defender's jersey. ... Tenacious drive blocker who works hard to stay with his blocks. ... Keeps his feet wide to maintain balance in pass protection, showing the ability to wall off and pull for the ground game. While lacking sustained speed, he does well in the short area to generate the quickness to get to the edge to cut off the linebackers, showing true aggression in run support...Shows good hip snap and roll to effectively seal off the edge rush...One thing you quickly notice about his game is that he flashes aggression blocking in-line and delivers a hand punch into the defender's chest consistently. ... Has made strides in improving his foot agility in order to get to the drop point in his pass protection. ... Knows how to use his upper body power to push off the defender and then use his hands to sustain and gain leverage. ... His ability to remain focused when anchoring down gives him the ability to quickly recover vs. the stunts. ... Adequate incline blocker, thanks to proper hand technique and punch. Negatives. ... Slow-footed type who has trouble containing the speed rushers. ... Lacks agility on the move, appearing stiff in his hips. ... Limited by short arm length. ... Shows good playing strength, but struggles with lateral movement and the speed rush. ... Limited when working in space, as he can not redirect and recover when beaten. ... Shows effort and signs of a stong hand punch, but is very stiff and un-athletic getting his hands up into a defender's chest. ... Could possibly be moved inside, but needs to develop better change of direction skills and foot speed.

Body Structure Justin has a barrel chest, above average muscle definition in his overall frame, thick, but short arms, good-sized calves and bubble. General Report 1.38 Athletic Ability 1.8 He is a big, strong body that lacks agility and is limited by short arm length. His weight room strength does not always translate to the football field. I doubt if he can be an effective pro tackle, as he is too stiff and erect in his stance to effectively redirect. He struggles when having to change direction and lacks the foot speed to get into the second level. Football Sense 1.3 Justin is an alert player with good field instincts. He keeps his head on a swivel and takes good blocking angles in the short area. He excels in the class room and is rarely fooled by games and stunts. Character 1.2 Justin is from a supportive two-parent family. He is a respected team captain that has never been in trouble. He is a good mentor for the team’s younger players and shows solid work ethic in the weight room, practices and in academics. Competitiveness 1.3 He is a hard worker who greatly improved his aggressiveness as a senior. He fights hard to the finish and has enough moxie to win most power battles in the trenches. Work Habits 1.3 He is a demon in the weight room, but that power fails to translate to the football field all the time. He loves the physical challenge of the game and works hard to improve his craft. Athletic Report 1.64 Initial Quickness 1.9 While Justin has excellent power, he looks too top-heavy (most of his weight is held in his chest) and this makes him appear a bit sluggish getting off the snap. He getstoo erect in his stance to gain leverage off the snap, but does use his massive body to gain position and sustain. Lateral Movement 1.8 He is limited in space, and cannot redirect and recover. When he stays low in his pads, he can adjust and drop his weight to gain movement. He struggles with lateral movement and the speed rush as his body stiffness prevents him from getting a good anchor. Balance/Stays On Feet 1.7 When he gets erect in his stance, he will overextend and lose body control. He does show good intent to finish, but he does not have the feet to get to his drop point in pass protection. Explosion/Pop 1.8 He delivers a strong hand punch, but his short arms prevent him from getting total impact behind those hits. He shows some power in his play and looks to finish, doing a very good job of using his size to lean in and push the defender off the ball, but fails to generate anything more than a marginal burst off the snap due to being a slow-twitch type. Run Blocking 1.4 He relies more on his powerful lower body to gain advantage. His arms are too short to get proper extension, but He flashes good aggression and leg drive to get enough movement to wall off. Pass Blocking 1.5 Even for a big body-type, he has good feet and can adjust working in-line. He is a bit stiff, but does manage to generate enough of a slide to make adjustment blocks and recover. He struggles to anchor on the edge due to marginal foot speed. Pulling/Trapping 1.8 Because of poor foot speed and a lack of hip snap, he looks uncomfortable and un-athletic in the open field. He does show good intent to make contact, but will overextend and lunge in attempts to make the block, compensating for poor feet. Adjust on Linebacker Downfield 1.8 He shows good awareness, but does not generate the burst needed to get into the second level. He needs to take proper angles to have any hope of combating the linebacker’s movements. Use of Hands/Punch 1.3 Justin shows great effort and a very strong hand punch, but is very stiff and un-athletic getting his hands positioned properly. He is slow to recoil and lacks the ideal arm length to nullify the defender with his initial thrust. When he grabs and locks on, the battle is over, as he is quite effective using his handsto drag and jerk the defender. Reactions/Awareness 1.4 He is a very alert player, doing a good job of picking up stunts. His marginal lateral agility and lack of explosiveness are his major problems. If he had improved foot speed, he could be a very effective drive blocker. Long Snap Skills NG Does not snap. Summation The Mount Lebanon (Pa.) High School second-team All-State product was a National Honor Society member who graduated with a 4.0 grade point average. He continued to excel academically at Vanderbilt, earning Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll accolades. Justin redshirted in 2000 and started all nine games he played in at left tackle during the 2001 campaign (missed the Tennessee and Mississippi games with a right ankle fracture). Geisinger is regarded as the strongest player in the SEC. He holds Commodore team marks with a 600-pound bench press, 37 repetitions of 225 pounds, 650-pound squat and 1,600-pound total weight (bench/squat/clear). He started every game at left tackle during the 2002 and 2003 seasons, serving as team captain during his junior year. Again named team captain as a senior, he suffered a knee strain vs. Mississippi that would force him to sit out the 2004 Navy and Mississippi State games. Justin is a big-framed lineman whose struggles with speed and lateral agility will force him to shift inside to guard at the pro level. Off the snap, he shows good quickness with his hands, but lacks foot speed. He relies mostly on his upper body strength and hand placement to lock on and control the defender. When he manages to get his pad level down, he can drive block. His feet go dead when he has to pull or work to the second level. He does a nice job of getting his shoulders squared and hit his target when working in-line. In pass protection, he shows a good slide and hand punch, but his short arms sometimes nullify the force he puts behind those hits. He knows how to use his size and strength to handle a bull rush. He gets too erect in his stance to gain proper leverage. One thing you notice on film is that when he has to move up field, not only does he appear slow-twitched getting off the snap, but labors to gain acceleration and gets his head down, which prevents him from spotting targets to hit. He can anchor down in pass protection, but is slow to get to his drop point and has no agility to get to the edge. He is a very aggressive drive blocker who uses his size well to drive the defender off the ball. Overall, he needs to move to guard, must drop the excess baggage around his waist in order to get better lateral agility and must generate better leg drive with his legs to gain movement. His size and strength are his redeeming qualities that might get him into the late round draft picture. Medical 2001-Sat out the final two games vs. Tennessee and Mississippi after fracturing his right ankle (fibula) vs. Kentucky. 2004-Did not play vs. Navy and Mississippi State after suffering a knee/leg sprain vs. Mississippi.

My own draft will be different than the Bills. I still need a TE, so I'm going Cody McCarty. I'm waiting for the 7th for my K (Onorato-Ho`1287fstra) For the Bills, I'm predicting Tyler Jones K. If they don't take a K in the 6th, they better in the 7th. I don't want to be bidding on a FA kicker for a guy who can choose warm weather or a dome

The board remained thawed throughout the draft, although I did see the frozen one on a rival saying he'd take Butler over TD and ranting irrationally.
