Reggie White was as powerful a D lineman as there has ever been.. But Bruce coming around the corner was unblockable a lot of the time. Writing this I remember Bruce just crushing Jeff George when he played for the Colts. Both were all world.
-
I agree. I was very proud when I saw Bruce at #20. Elway is too high at #15. He was good. But not that good. The 2 Super Bowls he won at the end of his career were on Terrell Davis and a great run blocking scheme w their excellent O line.

Brandon Beanes Presser today…informative
Paup 1995MVP replied to Alphadawg7's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think that is a pretty fair assessment TBJunkie. Also Kummerow didn't look a whole lot smaller then Hollister. I think Knox and Sweeney (if healthy) and Gilliam will be fine for us at TE. We have a top 3 WR corp in the league. That is our bread and butter. Some teams have stud TE's. We have stud WR's. -
You might be right on the exact number at Rich. I knew it was a little over 80,000. And that was definitely the number at the Aud. Remember that well, when the Sabres were a respected and respectable hockey team.. So long ago!! Given the size of the region, including Rochester and Southern Ontario, I would think the 70,000 is very doable. But I haven't lived in WNY in years, and entertainment is so fragmented in today's world, it may be more difficult to fill up the stadium. Interesting how many college football stadiums in the midwest and south sell upwards of 80,000 seats for every game.

No he wouldn't. He can lead infield practice with all the grounders he throws.

Its football. That's why we have 80 guys still on the roster. We will be fine come opening day. All teams have lots of guys on the injury report during training camp. The physicality of practices in today's game is nothing compared to yesteryear. I doubt they run the Oklahoma drill any longer. That was wicked. I remember when they used to do it in my son's Pee Wee practices. They would just beat the hell out of each other. LOL The game has certainly changed.

Bills and Steelers to get #2 CBS announcing team
Paup 1995MVP replied to Greg S's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Kevin Harlan is excellent. But for excitement and energy, it is hard to beat Gus Johnson... He could make a game between the Jets and Jags feel like its the Super Bowl. Getting Charles Davis as analyst for the opener is good. -
Bills preseason games on NFL Network

If you have You Tube TV all of the hilites of the preseason games are on in 10-15 minute clips. -
Comparison to 90s SB teams
Paup 1995MVP replied to BoccesOnTransit's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Great point Greg S. Along those lines I was watching a 60 minute condensed version of the 1998 Alamo Bowl last nite between Purdue (w a very young Drew Brees) and Kansas State (w Michael Bishop at QB). It was an amazingly entertaining game I had recorded off of the Big 10 Network last summer. (A Purdue Classic. LOL) I was watching w my girlfriend's 23 year old son who was spending the nite. The game was tremendously exciting. But the hitting was off the chain. Guys were flying helmet first on almost every play. Receivers and backs were getting absolutely drilled. My girlfriend's son thought there could have been at least 5 or 6 targeting penalties with today's rules. He had never seen football played this way. He was amazed. And there was not one unnecessary roughness penalty called the entire game. Dam the game has changed over the past two decades!! -
trade idea - Jake Fromm to ATL
Paup 1995MVP replied to dave mcbride's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Nice idea. Fromm is well thought of here in Georgia. And the Falcons are in deep trouble if Franks ever has to play. (He was terrible against Miami on Saturday nite. And he was pretty bad in college to be honest about it) But a 4th round pick is not going to happen for Jake Fromm at this point in his career. I saw the play where AJ got hit. Did he tear his ACL? -
Can't get rid of Stevenson. Guy has top end speed. Those guys are tough to come by. Kumerow is solid and will probably contribute in spots. And Hollister looks like a solid NFL player as well. We have a lot of talent on offense. But you can never have too much. Not sure why a guy like Duke Williams is even in camp. He is slow has no explosion and marginal hands. No need to keep a guy like that on the practice squad. The Duke Williams experiment needs to end.. It should be very interesting getting down to the final 53. Go Bills.

Reggie White, LT, Bruce and Ray Lewis. The modern NFL defensive Mt Rushmore. And we can squeeze Ronnie Lott on the lower tier of the mountain. Safety used to be such a position of violence. Wow, remember Lott, Steve Atwater, John Lynch, David Fulcher, Kenny Easley, Brian Dawkins, etc. Good grief receivers used to have it rough. Just goes to show how great Jerry Rice was putting up the numbers he did in the era he played.

McGinnest Harrison Seymour and Wilfork should all be in the Hall of Very Good. None should be in the HOF. Ty Law played at my alma mater Michigan. So I guess I am a little more biased to him. But while he was good, I never thought he was all world. Vinatieri is the best of all of them. And he played over half his career with the Colts. the HOF has been watered down w too many selections. It should be for the absolute best of the best. The Patriots mentioned while very good, were not that.

Agree about the upgrade at CB2. Levi isn't bad. And Jackson seems like a gamer who hopefully has a lot of upside. But Wallace is not overly athletic, and while he can tackle well, he has trouble staying w speed receivers and has to give a lot of cushion. To really compete for the Super Bowl I think we need someone a little more talented then Levi at CB2. The Bills did not make a lot of changes to last years roster. (We did go 15-4 overall) However, I hope if Jackson shows that he can consistently make plays that they don't just start Levi ahead of him, because they are more comfortable with him out there.

Not to Milano Feliciano and Daryl Williams. They all likely took less from the Bills to stay in a good situation for themselves. (Especially Milano) Then test the free agent market. If you are a free agent and your team (say the Bills) are offering good money, but not ridiculously good money. And say the Jaguars and maybe the Lions are offering 10% more. I think a whole lot of guys are going to stay with the Bills than jump to a crap team.

Tasker & Brown don't know the cap rules
Paup 1995MVP replied to Albany,n.y.'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Steve Tasker was one of the greatest special teams players of all time. And a pretty solid WR. He gave his blood sweat and tears to the Bills. Was an excellent analyst for CBS, and is a great ambassador for the team....Period. So he is not 100% up to the speed on the nuances of the salary cap. SO WHAT!! -
Edmunds has not even been very good, let alone elite. (I don't want to hear he made two Pro Bowls. Big deal. The proof is on the field. And he has not been a stud) I would not have picked up his 5th year option. But lets see what he can do when he is healthy. Its time for him to dominate. He does that he will get his long term deal. Fingers crossed.

I think that is a great analysis of Kurt Warner Buffalo 03. I loved his game. His first season with the Rams is one of Legend. Didn't he throw for over 300 yards and 3TD's in his first 3 games. The way he threw a football was a thing of beauty. Also a great leader and seemed to be a real good guy. He was as good as anyone who played the position during his career.

Training Camp Practice and Media Sessions 8/6
Paup 1995MVP replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
the dude is way too light at 6'5 255. He is going up against guys his height who are at least 60-70 pounds heavier then him. WTH is going on there? My son is about 6'1 and a half and around 255 or so going into training camp at Georgia Southern this year playing DE. I would think AJ should be pushing at least 270. Its a big man's game. We don't need our D Lineman looking like NBA forwards. -
Forbes 2021 NFL franchise values
Paup 1995MVP replied to Walking Tall's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Wow that is harsh from a business economic sense. I wonder how many college programs if valued in a similar way would be higher then the Bills... -
Training Camp practice and Media Sessions 8/5
Paup 1995MVP replied to IgotBILLStopay's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Anyone hear anything about Tommy Sweeny? The kid showed some good stuff in 2019. Maybe he steps up and shines this year.
