I like London, but no more than two more years. If a team will give him 3 or more, let him go. We have to stay young and able to sign the young D players we have. Also, I doubt the Pats will take him because they are aleady old at LB and have two first round picks to fill that need.

You can't just spend in football the way you can in baseball. The Jansen move should be seen as one of many aimed at making room for a free agent CB, namely Nate. The 'Skins redoing deals has been in works for a while, but I don't see Nate being their missing part.

I would like to see Losman gt there and win, esp. after those bumpy early years. I would also say Flutie because he deserved one.
-
I rather they snag him than Russel, or even Stanton, because he can be rattled like early Peyton. Also, it is funny they would ignore their other needs and dump more money into their QB postion.

I just read about this guy from Boise State
Kuile replied to buffaloboyinATL's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I wonder if they will try to give the line speed similar to Boise's this past season. -
What about leonard out of Rutgers in the 2nd, 3rd round area?
-
I think the Bills should give Tony Hunt a serious look. I know he lacks speed, but he has great toughness and vision. His performance in the Outback Bowl should show you everything you need to know about the guy. If he is hanging around without a home in the 4th or 5th round, which Kiper thinks may happen, I say we take him. A-train won't be around forever and Hunt gives us a clock-eating option.What do you think?

Ask Seattle if Guards are not worth the money. I think we need to make the line as good as possible as to create a great running game. I think the Bills shoukd draft a FB. The Leonard kid from Rutgers would be a good pick, if you ask me.
-
I like Wire. I wish he could be a starter even because he seems committed to the Bills. I hope they always keep him.
-
And what did he do in Miami? He did not make Joey any better.
-
Holy man, I like this good blocker rep on Leonard. I think he be a great Buffalo guy. I can see him getting involved and being a fan favorite, like Tasker.

Does anyone here truly have inside knowledge
Kuile replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Teams change uniforms to sell merch. This would be a very, very bad time to switch uniforms because the team is not looking to be great, one of the reasons the Sabres just happened to change this season. Also, in Buffalo, fans are spending major money on Sabres' duds, so two new uniforms in one year might be a tough sell. When the team knows the want to have "a part of the team in highest," they will look to change. Also, look for a change when a truly great player comes around. For example, didn't they change when they made the Bledsoe trade? Not that he ended up being great... ugh. -
Very true about Okoye. I think we learn about him in the combine. That's where we can see his speed compared to others and what kind of smarts he really has. I will take him undersized, if he can run and know his way around a D-line. Also, we put a lot on him being young, but does this mean he will take coaching help willingly?
-
Only if Samuel takes a lot less money. Here is the problem: the Redskins really, really want Nate. They will pay a lot for him, too, so we would have to hope Samuel does not want that much. Even though, I think he will. The 'Skins like our D players more than Tom Brady likes dating super models — and that's a lot.

I like the sounds of Brian Leonard (Rutgers), Daymeion Hughes, and USC center Ryan Kalil. Leonard could go no earlier than second or third round and could give the Bills a real big runner with some good lead blocking. A good FB with various uses could be a nice add. Hughes might be the best CB. We might need him if our young guys don't come along as planned and we can't resign/sign a CB in free agency. I like Kalil because USC players have a good rep as pros and we have the room to take a center for the futue.

MOBILE, Ala. -- Here's the buzz from Monday's Senior Bowl practices: Around the North practice When the rosters initially were released, the North team had three top prospects in Wisconsin OT Joe Thomas and Notre Dame QB Brady Quinn and WR Jeff Samardzija. However, none of those standouts will hit the field in Mobile. While Thomas opted out for no specific reason, Quinn elected not to participate due to a "minor knee injury" and Samardzija released his decision to pursue baseball over football at the professional level. Dan Anderson/Special to ESPN.com Drew Stanton displayed mobility, accuracy and arm strength on Monday. With those defections behind them, the North squad, coached by Jon Gruden and his Buccaneers' staff, took to Ladd-Peebles Stadium on Monday for the first of four practices this week. The weather was hardly ideal, but the team was able to get through most of its individual and unit drills before the skies opened up and the rain poured down. Michigan State QB Drew Stanton did not seemed fazed by the conditions, as he turned in an impressive first day of practice. The oft-injured gunslinger displayed an impressive blend of mobility, arm strength and accuracy while spreading the ball around to an array of talented receivers during one-on-one and seven-on-seven drills. Ohio State's Troy Smith looked sharp, as well, but Stanton was clearly the best pro quarterback prospect on the field for the North team Monday. As a side note, Smith measured in at 6-foot even during the morning weigh-in process, which was a moral victory for the diminutive quarterback prospect. Dan Anderson/Special to ESPN.com Daymeion Hughes locked down the North receivers. The defensive player that impressed us the most was Cal cornerback Daymeion Hughes. The 5-10, 192 pounder displayed outstanding agility and instincts throughout practice. There wasn't a receiver on the team, including standouts such as Jason Hill (Washington State), Rhema McKnight (Notre Dame) and David Clowney (Virginia Tech), who could shake Hughes in one-on-one drills. While it's important to put everything into perspective this week, I think it's safe to say that Hughes showed better man-to-man cover skills this afternoon than Michigan's Leon Hall, who is widely considered the top cornerback prospect and a potential top-15 pick in this year's class. It was good to see Northern Illinois RB Garrett Wolfe get some reps as a return specialist. At 5-7, 184 pounds, Wolfe is entirely too small to make it in the NFL as a premier back. However, he's elusive and fast enough to carve a niche as a scatback and return man. Wolfe showed good hands returning some punts today and also impressed with his fluidity catching the ball out of the backfield during unit and seven-on-seven drills. FB Brian Leonard (Rutgers) looks quicker than usual because he has trimmed down to 224 pounds. Leonard clearly wants to prove to NFL scouts that he is capable of becoming a full-time running back at the next level. Dan Anderson/Special to ESPN.com Garrett Wolfe showed off his receiving skills during Monday's practice. Notre Dame DE Victor Abiamiri is one of the most impressive players from a physique standpoint. He checked in at nearly 6-5 and 271 pounds with hardly any body fat. Abiamiri also turned heads during practice, as he consistently beat Boston College OT James Marten during unit drills. If Abiamiri continues to dominate practice sessions this week, he could solidify a spot late in the first round. Finally, the most surprising result of this morning's weigh-in process may well have been the weight loss of Louisville DT Amobi Okoye. Listed as 305 pounds from last spring's measuring for NFL scouts, Okoye showed up in Mobile weighing a slender 287 pounds. While he looks to be in good shape, Okoye may have turned some teams off that viewed him as a bigger interior presence. Around the South practice South practices got underway on a wet Majors Field at Fairhope Municipal Stadium and the squad clearly looked as sloppy as the field at times. However, there was no shortage of enthusiasm during the high-tempo workout. Texas' Michael Griffin and Miami's Brandon Meriweather apparently play at one speed. Despite wearing just shoulder pads, both safeties delivered big hits over the middle. There's a lot to like about their physical style of play, but they won't have a lot of fans if a player gets hurt. There's just too much on the line this close to draft day. The safeties weren't the only secondary players making noise today. Texas CB Aaron Ross came down with a ball that he or Florida WR Dallas Baker could have caught, and Auburn CB David Irons picked off a pass downfield. Georgia TE Martrez Milner dropped several passes he should have caught during the 2006 season, but he did a good job of hauling in the slick ball today. He made two nice catches and held onto the ball despite getting popped. Florida State RB Lorenzo Booker caught the ball well and made some nice moves in space. He also made crisp cuts and exploded through holes, but scouts will want to see how the undersized back does when the South goes to full pads and the linebackers can wrap up. The kickers spent most of the practice on the sidelines but Arizona's Nick Folk didn't just stand around. He could be seen working on planting his foot in the soggy conditions and looked strong when he attempted field goals. In addition, Baylor punter Daniel Sepulveda is built like a linebacker. He weighed in at 228 pounds this morning and body fat was nowhere to be found. Texas OL Justin Blalock, who has lined up at tackle as well as guard, held his own in pass protection drills today. However, officials measured him at just 6-foot-3 this morning. His lack of height raises concerns about his ability to line up on the outside, so it looks like he will play at guard at the next level. USC center Ryan Kalil used his quickness to get into good position and flew around the field. He has gained some weight, but Kalil is still undersized and lacks ideal power. It showed on the field, as defenders overpowered him at times. LSU DE Chase Pittman appeared to jump off sides on a play during the team drill, but it didn't seem to faze Central Michigan OT Joe Staley. Staley got set quickly and then used his long arms to ride Pitman past the pocket.

A lot of D this year. QB could be rough and RB is nothing like two years ago. WR is for sure better than last season. This may be a draft where teams don't get "The player," but instead some great parts to flesh out teams.
-
hmmm. really? booze? the dice? Cards? The Tree?

I wonder what lost Grimm the job. He had to be the top guy. Could Tomlin have wowed them that much? I agree, Max, it's not like the Viks' D was the '85 Bears this season.
-
Anyone know of any? I know Rebuen is still on the Bears.

Jennings is one of those guys who was not worth he money he got in FA, even though the Bills had no one to replace him.

NFL should schedule Giants & Cowboys games
Kuile replied to Albany,n.y.'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Haha, true. Also, it would be nice if we got a divisonal team in those last weeks. -
I bet this O-lineman's on the Bills wish list
Kuile replied to 1billsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I am sure they will. The Ivy guys can play. Also, the Bills have felt for few years that they can make anyone a NFL lineman -
The Bills have a lot of needs in the draft, even though Miller comes from the same program as Todd Heap. I can see them looking at NE's Graham, but he will be in demand now because KC Tony is off the market.

NFL should schedule Giants & Cowboys games
Kuile replied to Albany,n.y.'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The only game we should worry about not selling out is Balt. Cincy has players worth the price of a ticket. Here is the problem: it would be nice if the league made its schedule around Buffalo, but they are more likely to plan the season around the Cowboys. With primetime games the big concern, it will be interesting where they put the very popular Cowboys. Also look for the Dallas and Giants games to be at 4.
