Agreed. I like Urbik and Wrotto, but only for depth purposes for now. And if they don't develop of improve this year, I say replace them with better depth options. I feel a little less about wang. I have a bad feeling he isn't going to work out as well.

I think the real reason people claim he is better at run blocking is because the team was most successful running the ball on the left side, more than the right side. So it wasn't that he was better at run blocking, but he was better at it than anyone playing RT. As for his pass blocking, he was adequet most of the season, but got better as the season went on. In his defense, he was battleing injuries in the early part. The whole line in general got better as the season went on, and the only eyesore most of the season was RT. I like bell, and I don't think we have hit the ceiling with him yet. I think with him getting better each game, he will still get better this season. oh boy.... 3 seconds isn't bad. 4 seconds is good. 5 seconds is really good against a bad team.

maybe if both sides did better we could win some games??? You are pretty quick to be critical of a team where you don't even know who played on it last year. Not to mention, you are using something as useless as STATS to back up your claims. If you are going to judge the offense on points per a game, you have to take out the games Edwards started first of all, because the QB makes the most difference on the offense. Since edwards isn't the QB anymore, you have to look at how the team played with fitzpatrick. You inlcuding Edward's stats shows how inaccurate your argument is. stop using just stats with your argument. You have either use stats better, or use more than stats. This isn't baseball. This is football. Stats don't mean as much, by far.

This thread is just another example how badly this CBA needs to get done. The draft was all the way back in april, and NOW is the best time to discuss that we only drafted one olineman in the draft? Bleh. I mean, I get the threads that say who we should sign when free agency starts, but threads that are confused about something that happened months ago is rehashing topics worse than even ESPN and NFLN are guilty of. He seems to be better at run blocking than pass blocking. Though I can't really back that up, since the season seems like a distant memory now. But that seemed to be the opinion of most people. I don't mind him at LT. I would prefer an upgrade at that position, but there are other positions that require more attention. Like OLB, RT, TE, and ILB depending on if we resign poz.

*yawn Didn't you watch a game last season? You didn't see the travesty of cornell green playing RT? The misfit backups trying to take care of RT when Green went on IR? Urbik Taking over at guard when Wood moved to center? This all happened in the games last year.

He is average, but was a probowler last year. He is starting calibar, but not great.

depends on who Pegula brings in as GM.

What about the oline? it gets addressed during free agency. Might not get addressed correctly, but it will be addressed. Nix has already said they will add a tackle via free agency. It can be anyone from a scrub to a legit starter. If we don't fix it this year, then I guess we address it next offseason or hope harrison develops faster. The oline really isn't a mystery at this point, except for RT which we don't know who will be playing there. We know the interior linemen, even the backups, are pretty decent or better. Bell is..... not the worst we have had. He is inconsistant, and looks pretty bad some days. But overall, he has shown steady improvement, which is encouraging. We really already know how these players play, and RT is the only position on the bills radar needing to be fixed, since they seem to have settled for bell. The biggest problem with the offense was running the ball to control the clock more. They could sling the ball all day. but couldn't run it at all. The run game did get better once Wood got more healthy and bell improved. I am not that worried about the oline, except for RT. Though I would like a better LT.

Good news for Bills, Bad news for Dareus
DanInUticaTampa replied to Kingfish's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That has been expected for so long, dareus/newton should have saw it coming anyway. Just glad it is one issue that doesn't need to be argued anymore to get a CBA done. -

25 Least Value Players in the NFL
DanInUticaTampa replied to Buftex's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
kinda sad to see Amobi Okoye end up on the list. I know he has pretty much not existed in the nfl, but he had a good story coming out. And to make it more crazy, I remember a lot of threads here with people wanting to use our 1st round pick on the guy. -
James Harrison... WHAT?!?!?!?!?!
DanInUticaTampa replied to AReed Deep For 7's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well, that part wasn't taken out of context. The big ben comment seemed like it had missing parts to it, hence being out of context. The goodwell stuff, looks like it was just how it looks. also, funny he called mendenhall a fumble machine, when he only had 2 fumbles in the regular season last year. Crazy fella. -
James Harrison... WHAT?!?!?!?!?!
DanInUticaTampa replied to AReed Deep For 7's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Im sure a lot of it was taken out of context, but man, he is digging himself a hole. Trashing goodwell is one thing, but trashing your own team is another. The worst I think is that if they had won the super bowl, that he would have whispered that crap to the commish. ridiculous. -
Free Agency Firestorm
DanInUticaTampa replied to hondo in seattle's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well, the "sign quickly or live without" type of attitude is, all the other teams are going to be signing players fast as well. So if you don't sign the player quickly, they will most likely go to another team, and once that happens, you can't sign them. I don't think a lot of players are going to wait until after camp starts to sign with a team. That one week window is probably when more than 80% of the free agents disappear. -
Free Agency Firestorm
DanInUticaTampa replied to hondo in seattle's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
They can be signed anytime, but each team will want 90 players when they go to camp. Which means they will have probably less than two weeks to grab roughly 40 players. because right now, now team has anything close to 90 players under contract. The most they can have is 53, and I don't think any team has 100% of last years players under contract. If they want 90 players by training camp, they have to sign players fast. And I am sure trying to sign the rookies is going to make things even harder to sign FA faster. -
Add Hines Ward to the list of the accused

list of players that do bad things in the offseason, and probably won't get in trouble by the nfl because there is no CBA. That list. it is pretty long. -

The "Rogue Scout"…
DanInUticaTampa replied to San Jose Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
They are preseason grades. The grades are not about what they have done in the nfl, but how the project to turn out in the nfl. that should go with out saying, that they aren't being graded on their nfl careers, they are being graded on their potential and what is expected of them. -
Bills expected to make "strong bid" to sign
DanInUticaTampa replied to Beerball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
it is going to be interesting to see where Herzlich ends up. But I welcome any QB additions just to see if we get lucky. -
Schefter has Kyle Williams at #3

still kinda sucks about missing missing on ngata. Having him and williams on this team would have been amazing. -
Gailey makes ESPN list of Best Coaches
DanInUticaTampa replied to DrDawkinstein's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well, he had a good track record at Dallas. A winning record. And he seems to be a fine motivator, and any player he through under the bus deserved to be thrown under the bus. Throwing players like maybin under the bus isn't anything close to what hurt the team last season. His weakness is in the assistants he hires, like you said. Wannstedt is a little help with that, but I think there are more problems across the board. His next biggest weakness is he doesn't draw free agents either. But throwing players under the bus is not the problem. -

Interesting Fact About Pro Football Talk
DanInUticaTampa replied to BuffaloWest's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
But a new long term lease would help keep the bills in buffalo if ralph passes and a new owner takes over And it is not so much LA being a threat, it is more of toronto being a threat after ralph passes and that family tries to buy them.
