Well, there all the Dlinemen that would be worth that pick are already going to be taken before we pick. Better to take mcclain and draft a lineman later. I mean, seriously, Kyle Williams got defensive MVP for us. I don't think our Dline is the worst thing.

It has been said over and over again by many scouts that Clausen has a serious attitude problem that worries them. It has been out in the open for awhile now.

If we trade/cut him, we would have to replace him. We can't go into a season with just jackson. Sure, runningback is one of the easier things to fix. But the last thing this team needs is another thing to fix.

funny.....

this

Gaily said he was going to do more than just call plays. He was going to build and develop the offense himself and get it to where he wants it to be, then maybe down the road he will give someone else more control. But right now, Gailey is HC and OC. So the OC in name only isn't that important

I was thinking that was wierd too. They mention specifically what each coach's position, except for him. So that seems suspicious.

He is going to be OC in name only. The offense is going to be run/called by Gaily.

If you read the first post, the OC is mentioned in it. There is no DC yet. The other coaches are positional coaches.

Yeah, Sanders was one of the few bright spots on the coaching staff last year. He really improved our line.

So, a whole week with no new posts. I hope the schmucks that blew the whole thing out of proportion (sarcasm or not) didn't push him away. It is nice to have a thread where we can talk football with a guy that has some more knowledge about football and the bills than the average poster. This was the one thread you could come into and expect some interesting and insightful posts. Much better than all the other threads where you click on into them and hear the most ridiculous things that must be comeing from the 5th grade lunch table. I hope Tim is just busy and still comes here to post with us.

go bills wait. I must be in the wrong forum

That seems to be the one thing everyone is worried about. It is disturbing when EVERYONE says it.

I don't think i would want bates, but whatever. after 10 bad years 10 more won't kill me.

haha, how do we have a thread about the draft and Kyle orton is the focus of the conversation? This is probably the first time on this board I have heard that signing orton should be considered. And why would people think we can sign him? I doubt he is a FA in march and I doubt Denver is willing to trade a 2nd QB for the 2nd year in a row. Also, I would much rather draft a tackle in the 2nd round. Okung is already going to get picked before us and he is the only tackle worth that spot. I wouldn't mind taking a chance on Clausen. He seems to be great. Can never tell how he will be in the pros till you see him in action. But hell, if he turns out to be a franchise QB, it would really suck to pass on him. I think it is a decent risk. Mcclain is my favorite for our first pick. I don't think they are going to take him. But he seems like he can make a really nice impact on the defense early and immediatly makes us better.

If we can land Dansby, that would be huge.

Of course the oline will be better in 2010. It can't get any worse.

What are you talking about? I was agreeing with you. I think it WAS a legal hit. I was referring to the rule that says a player can't get back up and hit the QB. The defender obviously went for a tackle and hit the QB. Completly fine. He didn't "Get back up and make a tackle" which would have broken the rule. Come down man

I don't know how you can tackle someone after your knee hits the ground unless you get back up. And he obviously didn't get back up.

NE didn't have a terrible defense. It just wasn't a good one. The reason for the big decline was they lost so much talent. Do we have the talent? I don't know. But this is a proven DC, which is better than I would expect them to pick up. I don't think there would be a better canidate out there right now.

If he comes here, that will be amazing.

this is old news.

Didn't Nix actually KNOW that this would be the 15th HC, and all he did was comment that it seemed like there were more? wtf....

I really think it should be more like: LT - Draft best LT avail 2nd rd LG - Levitre C - Hangartner RG - Wood (Incognito if wood isn't 100%) RT - Butler I think making hangartner a backup isn't a great idea. He started all the games and had two rookies around him. Not to mention, the more we keep switching these guys up the more it is going to set us back. We can plug and play all we want, but our interior line was pretty decent. It was our tackles that sucked. We should leave the interior alone and just fix the tackles and our line will be just fine, maybe even good depending on who our tackles are. As for incognito, I think it is great to have him on here, especially with the hell we went through with injuries. But I like hangartner, wood, and levitre better. Our oline made WAY too many penalties last year. And incognito, that is his biggest downside making costly penalties. I want us to be tough, but I really want those penalties to go down too. And like I said, I think the interior is fine and should be left that way. Just fix the tackles. But I do think it is great to have incognito for depth reasons, because on this team you really need it with the injuries we get.

great thread...
