Most front office people will say that the success of late round picks will indicate how good a teams scouting department is. The scouts get more say on late round picks, and really lobby for specific players.

Clearly you have never heard of Kyle Williams. He is taking on double teams, and absolutely destroying interior linemen this year. Not to mention we drafted Troup in the 2nd last year.

Nix said in a radio interview 1-4 weeks.

Like Chan Gailey calling Merriman's injury minor?

http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2010/11/12/our-midseason-pff-all-pro-team/ Defensive Tackle – Kyle Williams, Buffalo (+24.4) The Bills have moved between 3-4 and 4-3 but for the most part Williams has played in a four-man line in base packages. Regardless, he has been immense for the Bills, and our highest rated overall tackle.

Am I missing something? Why is everyone taking this guys word for it?

Stevie Johnson is not an impact player? Since when is a player on pace for 80 catches 1100 yards and 12 TDs not one?

He probably won't help the pass rush all that much, but supposedly he is a good against the run.

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/10305/1099796-66.stm?cmpid=relatedarticle I hope they put in a waiver claim, he's an extremely athletic OLB; that was only cut because the Steelers have insane depth at LB.

Drinking a couple right now. It offers more of a lucid drunk, as the caffeine definitely helps create a more cerebral buzz, which helps counteract any drowsiness induced from the alcohol.

Cutler has never been an elite QB. Even when he was in Denver, his numbers were related more to the talent on offense, and the sheer number of passing attempts.

2010 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc. Grade: 72 | Key Comment: Locklear has been a starting tackle for the Seahawks for five of his previous six seasons and has lined up on both the right and left side. He is a better fit as a right tackle as he lacks top lateral range in pass protection, but he is athletic and can make the initial kick step to get out and pick up the edge rusher. He is more of a finesse blocker than a powerful road grader but does have enough sand to hunker down and bow up against the bull rusher. He shows body control and balance when sliding with the pass-rusher and adjusting to counter moves and does a good job of using his hands to control and steer opponents on by the pocket. He could use more strength and bulk in his lower body for drive blocks and does not always show as much aggressiveness in his blocking as you'd like to see. Sounds like it would be a great pickup to me.

Whitner: 2010 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc. Grade: 65 | Key Comment: He only played in 10 games last season. His durability over his career has been somewhat of a question mark. Whitner is a short safety but packs a punch in run support. He runs the alleys well in run support. He is more of a straight-line player. Whitner is at his best attacking downhill toward the line of scrimmage. He is a little stiff in his hips, which hinders him in coverage and as a one-on-one player in space. Levitre: 2010 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc. Grade: 60 | Key Comment: He is Buffalo's starting left guard. Levitre is a good overall athlete for the position. He does a nice job of protecting the edges versus penetration via the run or pass protection. He struggles at times versus bigger and stronger interior defensive linemen. Levitre is better right now in pass pro than in the run game. Slides his feet well in a short area and adjusts well to double moves. He is an ascending player who should continue to get better.

a 3-4 DE we signed during FA

Here are our top 10 players. 1. Lee Evans 2010 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc. Grade: 79 | Key Comment: He is a speed receiver who would make a lot more plays on a better team with a legitimate No. 1 quarterback. Evans is explosive off the line of scrimmage and can get vertical in a hurry. He tracks the deep ball well and has improved as a route runner. He can make plays with the ball in his hands. He is a legitimate No. 1 receiver on a team that lacks a legitimate quarterback. 2. Paul Posluszny 2010 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc. Grade: 76 | Key Comment: He is a smart player at the inside linebacker position. Posluszny is a high-motor and active player with excellent instincts to find the football. He is not a great athlete for the spot but is rarely out of position because of his first-step quickness and smarts. Posluszny works hard to take on blocks and uses his hands well to shed. He has improved in coverage and looks fluid in his zone drops. The big key is staying healthy, as he has played 16 games only one time in his first three seasons. 3. Dwan Edwards 2010 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc. Grade: 75 | Key Comment: Edwards is a high-effort player who can contribute as an interior lineman and defensive end. While he isn't powerful enough at the point to handle the nose, he is very resilient and battles to the whistle. He has improved his hand usage at the point of attack, shedding blockers better than in previous seasons. Edwards continues to struggle as a pass-rusher and needs to continue to develop more creative moves and counters to contribute in this area. But Edwards has made marked improvements over the past two seasons. 4. Brian Moorman 2010 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc. Grade: 75 | Key Comment: He is an excellent punter with big-time leg strength. He is a good bad-weather punter, which is huge in Buffalo. He can directionally punt when the situations dictates it. He is effective at pinning opponents inside the 20-yard line. He is one of the better punters in the NFL. 5. Jairus Byrd 2010 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc. Grade: 74 | Key Comment: He is coming off an excellent rookie season. Byrd is a free safety who shows excellent range in center field. He is a former corner and that shows in that he has excellent ball skills. He shows excellent instincts to break on the football. Byrd needs to get more physical in run support and is not a great one-on-one tackler in space. He is one of the few consistent playmakers the Bills have in the back end of this defense. 6. Eric Wood 2010 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc. Grade: 74 | Key Comment: He is a versatile, young guard with very good upside. Wood's best asset is his versatility in that he can play all three interior spots along the offensive line. He possesses a nice combination of size and athletic ability. Wood can play in a short area but adjusts well in space. He plays with good leverage in the run game and protects the edges well in the passing game. Of all of the Bills' young offensive linemen, he has the most upside. 7. Terrence McGee 2010 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc. Grade: 73 | Key Comment: He is a short corner who is a very good athlete, showing solid agility and foot quickness. McGee has good instincts and route recognition playing in both man and zone coverage, displaying smooth hips to flip and run despite a lack of great top-end speed. His small size hurts him at times playing the ball down the field. He will stick his nose in versus the run. Overall, he is one of the Bills' more active defensive players. 8. Marcus Stroud 2010 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc. Grade: 73 | Key Comment: He is a run-stuffing defensive end in the 3-4 defense. He is versatile in that he can play a one- or two-gap scheme. Stroud is at his best when the Bills let him play on the edges. He shows very good first-step quickness and plays with very good leverage in the run game. He is still an explosive playmaker who can make plays on the other side of the line of scrimmage. 9. Fred Jackson 2010 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc. Grade: 72 | Key Comment: He possesses very good size for the position. For a small-school product, Jackson possesses very good inline vision and run instincts. He is not shifty guy but can make the first defender miss at the line of scrimmage. He shows very good burst through the hole and knows how to finish his runs by dropping his pads. Jackson has soft hands and is a very good special-teams player. He's not going to ascend as a player, but he is a solid backup. Tied for 10 are: 10. Chris Kelsay 2010 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc. Grade: 70 | Key Comment: He will be an outside linebacker in the Bills' 3-4 defense. He is a player who is used to playing with his hand on the ground. Kelsay is a good athlete, however, and he should be able to make the adjustment. He shows very good initial quickness as an up-the-field player. He is small but uses his hands well to keep blockers off his body. He shows good lateral speed and range. Kelsay might struggle early versus the run as it could be tough for him to diagnose as a stand-up LB. 10. Kyle Williams 2010 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc. Grade: 70 | Key Comment: He is a short and powerful interior defensive lineman. Williams has short legs and arms but plays very low to the ground. He plays with very good balance and does a nice job of playing trough or over blocks. He uses his hands well to control the blocker at the point of attack. He is more of a short-area playmaker. He does not run very well or make a lot of plays outside the tackles. Williams lacks first-step quickness and is not real explosive. He is a blue-collar player who is effective vs. the run and as a pass-rusher. 10. Rian Lindell 2010 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc. Grade: 70 | Key Comment: He converted 85 percent of his field-goal attempts last season. He is a solid poor-weather kicker. He can adjust his kicks based on wind conditions. He is a good pressure player who can split the sticks at the end of halves and games. Some other notable players: Reggie Corner: 2010 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc. Grade: 65 | Key Comment: He is a very good player on the Bills' defense. Corner is a smaller corner but a very good athlete for the position. He shows good catch-up speed. He can flip and run with speed receivers. Corner is better in man-to-man than zone coverage. He is slow to read routes in front of him at times from off coverage. He does a nice job of getting out of his breaks in man coverage. He shows the ability to plant and drive on the football. He has improved in run support. Demetrius Bell: 2010 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc. Grade: 60 | Key Comment: He is an athletic tackle who shows very good foot quickness. Bell comes off the ball quickly, but does not always bring his feet to balance. He protects the outside edge well in pass protection but struggles versus double moves. He is not very physical in the run game. He plays too straight-legged and is not a natural knee-bender, which hinders his ability to get a push at the point of attack. Bell is an average starter who needs to add bulk to go to the next level.

Clay Davis was the smooth talking megolomaniac politician, who talked his way out of corruption charges. Blagojevich is essentially the same, and is even considering a return to politics.

Oh, I am. It doesn't mean that I'm not shocked that a police association would support it. The major players behind trying to make Prop 19 not pass are police and prison organizations.

A very influential group of police officers endorsing the legalization of something they are sworn to fight against?

WTF? http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/08/national-black-police-association-supports-californias-marijuana-legalization-initiative.html

They are a scam.

Bell held up pretty well against Freeney.

I'm fairly certain that it is because his BAC was so much over the legal limit.

The Road is definitely the most depressing movie I've seen in a long time.
