Hey it could've been an 81 year old. Count your blessings.

Michelle Trachtenberg; 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

<snip>

He'll be PS

Ummmm, look at that picture closely and tell me if you think it's a male or female?

Unmoused.

He's six five 217. I don't call that slight size, JMO 2. David Nelson, WR, Florida -- He elevated his draft stock at the Gators pro day, running 4.57 in the 40, with a 38-inch vertical leap and a broad jump of 10 feet, four inches. Though Nelson got overshadowed at times among all of Florida's playmakers, scouts are enamored with his 6-5 height and ability to use his 217 pounds to block and give his quarterback a big target. "He's a tough kid and a competitive kid,'' one NFL scout told me. "He's got rare height and he catches the ball well. He runs good routes and he's just crafty. He'll make someone's team.''

Too bad there aren't 53 EW type attitudes on the Bills. I would be intimidated if I had to line up against him.

Stupar was signed to the Bills PS after the Pets* cut him. Link Stupar’s uncle, former New York Giants quarterback Jeff Hostetler, had a 15-year career but was also a third-round draft choice. Stupar was an undrafted free agent signee of New England, but failed to make the team’s roster out of training camp. Buffalo signed him to their practice squad a short time later just before the season began in 2008.

No more OJ's.

* A father and son from Lockport were accused of fighting with Darien Lake security as they walked from the concert to the campgrounds. Charged with disorderly conduct were James R. Ross Sr., 49, and James R. Ross, 25. Both men were arraigned and taken to jail on $200 bail. If your 49 and fighting, unless physically attacked, you're a loser. JMO

Is that what you call it? No, he is 196 you're off by eight pounds. Chris Johnson is 191 FJ will probably get 60% of the runs this year. JMO

It's funny cuz it's true. Don't forget about picking up Buluga instead of Spiller too.

I agree, having Easley miss a year of PT isn't as huge a deal as it would seem. JMO

Here's a primer on practice squad rules;

I can't think of any off the top of my head right now but I think it happens every year. This is my final 53 with PS. Since this is being done by me 15 of them will probably be wrong. QB (3) Edwards, Brohm, Fitzpatrick. (Brown on PS) RB (4) Jackson, Lynch, Spiller, Bell. (Anderson to PS) FB (1) McIntyre WR (6) Evans, Johnson, Hardy, Parrish, D. Nelson, C. Jackson (Roosevelt to PS) TE (2) Stupar, Foschi (Nelson won't be back til week 5) (George to PS) OL (10) Bell, Levitre, Hangartner, Wood, Green, Meredith, S. Allen, Hennessey, Howard, Chambers. (Wang to IR) (Calloway to PS) DL (6) Edwards, Stroud, Williams, Troup, Carrington, S. Johnson. (Harvey to PS) LB (9) Mitchell, Poz, Davis, Moats, Torbor, Maybin, Kelsay, Ellis, Ellison. (Coleman to PS) DB (10) Byrd, Whitner, Wilson, Youboty, McKelvin, Florence, McGee, Corner, Corto, Lankster (D. Harris to PS) Specialists (2) - Lindell, Moorman. Practice Squad; Brown Anderson Roosevelt George Calloway Harvey Coleman D. Harris

Joique Bell. I sure hope he makes it to the practice squad.

Gailey's use of Roscoe is just more proof that there is a lot more talent on this team than people think. Jauron wanted a very vanilla conservative offensive philosophy. Jauron's OCs had no idea how one play set up another play and just called what seemed to be working instead of calling plays in a progression that makes them work. Gailey's three passes in a row to loosen up the running game was a very good play calling series. Schonert and Van Pelt would have done run, run pass, IMO. It seems the Bungles came out with the idea that they would make TE try to beat them by stuffing the running game. TE is a lot better now than he's ever been in his career and teams are going to have to show some respect for him. The things Gailey's done to elevate this offense are; (JMO) Switching to the zone blocking scheme. It seems the guys we have on the offensive line are much better at this than the schemes used last year. TE has actually been given some time to throw. The blocking on the running game, at least early, wasn't very good but it got better and will continue to. Coaching the QB's. We all know of Gailey's track record. He takes scrubeenie QBs and turns them into solid players. I think TE is one of the most talented QB's he's worked with. TE looks like he could be a top 12 QB this year. (I know it's early but with Chan's ability to call plays and his obvious ability to coach QB's I'm pretty certain of that.) Gailey doesn't give up on a game plan but seems to call the plays much better. It seems that if it's not working early he finds ways to make it work by mixing things up to keep the D off balance. I believe that Jauron would have given up on Spiller after his first couple of runs for losses. Gailey found a way to make the D back off the LOS. I think opposing defenses are going to have to pay much closer attention pre-snap than they've had to in a long time with this team. Making the plays fit the players. Roscoe will have some big plays this year. He's always had the talent to do so but none of the previous coaches saw that. It seems Gailey has a very good understanding of each players strengths and weakness' and designs plays that optimize those strengths for everybody on the field at the time. The plays he uses gives the guys a much better chance of success than anything under Jauron. I'm very excited for this season. They WILL better last years record!

Even though this ruling is compliments of the ninth circuit it's a very conservative ruling. The conservatives don't like the rules in place to protect constitutional freedoms. Just look at Bush's refusal to get warrants for the invasion of privacy of Americans. This ruling would have made Bush very happy. JMO

Why is it so hard to understand that it's a chupacabara?
