I agree,
This is going to be a breakout year for Shaun Nelson and watch for Marcus Easley to explode out of the gate fast, especially for a WR, the kids got the it factor and don't forget Action Freddie Jackson who behind a good O-line could chew up defenses for big chunks of yardage every time he touches the ball,
I'm pumped
But, "Don't forget"...Marshawn Lynch can do that too, under those circumstances...and I would bet CJ Spiller AND Joique Bell could do it too...
Problem is...how "good" will our O-Line be???

Sorry if already posted...but, I think Poz steps up BIG TIME this year.
He will be a Top-10 MLB in the NFL.
-
D.Bell was put in a very compromised position to start the season and he wasn't very successful. Now he is coming off of a serious injury that ended his season. Man we really need Gaither in here.
I think losing Brad Butler REALLY hurt us too...he would certainly be the starting RT, which I believe would be better than Cornell Green...but he would also give us the opportunity to be able to move Wood to Center, Butler to RG and Meredith to RT...or Butler at RT and Meredith at RG...if Wang beat out Bell at LT, Bell could move over to one of those spots...
Butler would just give us another piece to shift guys around, while keeping a solid vet (Butler) somewhere in the lineup.
-
Looking into the overall lineup - I really only think we have 2 big holes (yes they are big holes), but overall I think we may actually have a contender
QB - Edwards/Brohm - we need help here
RB - Jackson - Good
Flex - Spiller - Good (we think)
WR - Evans - Good deep threat
WR - Johnson/Hardy - big question mark
WR3 - Parrish - If properly utilized could be seriously dangerous, big IF
TE - Nelson - weak blocker, good receiver
OT - Bell/Meredith/Wang - big hole here
OG - Levitre - potential pro-bowler
C - Hangartner - Serviceable - will ultimately be replaced by Wood
OG - Wood - solid (If Calloway turns out to be good as touted, look for him to start and move Wood to center)
OT - Green - Journeyman starter - decent runblocker, questionable pass blocker
Defense
DE - Stroud - decent
NT - Williams/Troupe - big question mark - could be good
DE - Edwards/Carrington - unknown - could be good
OLB - Maybin/Coleman - big question mark - could be good/could suck
ILB - Poz - solid
ILB - Davis/Mitchell - okay
OLB - Schobel/Batten - if Schobel sticks around could be good
CB - McGee/McKelvin - look for McGee to become the nickel this year as they move to more man defense - could be good for McKelvin
CB - Florence - good
SS - Whitner/Scott - solid
FS - Byrd/Wilson - solid
If Gailey is as good as he is touted in making QB's play above average, the QB hole is diminished. LT however is a different story - I could see a Wang, Levitre, Wood, Calloway, Green line by mid-year - which may not be that bad.
I could actually see a line of...
Wang - Levitre - Wood - Calloway - Meredith/Bell
(if Calloway does not pan out, Meredith could move into RG and Bell would be the RT...also watch out for Jason Watkins and Cordero Howard...either could step in at RG or RT)
-
Both are young cheap and there wasn't really much of an alternative. We had bigger fish to fry in the draft (Although we did draft Easley) and why waste money in free agency on guys like TO and Coles when we aren't going to be that competitive and they would take away snaps from the younger players.
Hardy is big and runs fast for his height Johnson has good hands and cool hair.
I didn't read through all of these posts...but actually, Stevie Johnson cut off his dreads.
He has a buzz cut now.

"Looking at the way that we work now and the way that we worked as a group collectively before, yes. Totally, yes.”
GE: “I’ve put this very question to corporate leader types, ‘Why don’t you want to come to Buffalo?’ and I’ve heard the same reply every time and it’s one word that word is ‘corruption.’ They think the local Buffalo government is corrupt and recent history seems to support that.
Like when they target Marshawn Lynch...or refuse to help him when his car gets a beer bottle thrown at it?

Thanks for your response. Not so sure picking the wrong QB in the second round at 41 sets a franchise back as much as you and others think? That is why I wanted the pick so bad at 41. Now, a top ten QB selection that doesn't work out indeed sets a team back years...I believe the Bills are going to pick a QB in the top ten next year. Big risk hope they get it right.
No matter where you draft a QB, #9 or #41...you are saying that he is your guy. Now, even with Levi Brown, if they invest in him, 3-4 years trying to groom him...he will be a bust and set the franchise back 3-4 years, because of the time that they invested in him.
So, no matter where you pick your QB, if he does not pan out and you invest any amount of time in him, he is a bust or a wasted draft pick...however you wanna look at it.
There were many players available at #41 that I would have rather had than Clausen AND Troup...and I am an Irish fan.

OK next season we are going to be giving a lot of young guys on offense a chance and some on defense a chance too. OK I think that on defense I think that Troup and Carrington need to prove capable of being fixtures on the D-line. McKelvin also needs to be a number one corner.
As far as offense goes I would like to see Meridith, Nelson, and Johnson (As at least a number 3 WR) to step up. We need an answer at tight end and Nelson needs to be a threat at tightend. Our O-line has a lot of young tackles and as a RT I think Meridith needs to step up and be a capable RT going forward. And at WR we need to find a capable slot guy in Johnson.
Now we have a lot of hole on the offensive side of the ball. And in keeping with my realistic expectations for the season I know that our QB situation might not get solved nor will our LT or #2 WR get solved. However if we can get a serious passing weapon at TE and a capable slot guy out of Johnson it would go a long way to shaping our passing attack. All in all our O-line is a mess but if Meridith can be a solid RT it would go a long way to shaping our O-line.
All in all what young players would have to step up in order for you to call the season a success in terms of player development.
Ummmmm...ALL of them!

This guy likes the word "disaster". LT is a disaster. RT is a disaster. QB is a disaster.
PTR
Where exactly does it say our QB situation is a "disaster?"
I would say our LT situation right NOW is a disaster...I also am not too sold/high on Cornell Green as our RT!
So I would say this guy was pretty spot on with his analysis.
-
What an ass.
I'm so over Lynch it's not funny.
I am so over Aaron Schobel too!
That "ass" did not show up either? Why not? He has no more a right to skip than Lynch does!!!

Glad I just ordered a couple! (edit: i don't mean a couple "Tebow" jerseys...but others.)

I think the bottom line is that we finally have a coach who can come in and help these players play at the top of their game. He will put them ALL in position to succeed, its just up to them to go out and make the most of it.
I think we actually will be seeing teams GAME-PLAN for us now...and they WILL have to "game-plan" for a number of players this team has on offense...AND defense.
Spiller, Lynch, F. Jackson, Evans, Nelson...are obvious. However, I also think that teams will NOW have to prepare to defend Roscoe Parrish, and I also believe that Chad Jackson will become a factor for the Bills. I like ALL of our WR's and think they have a very solid set of skills to be potential. They all have a very high ceiling as far as potential goes.
Evans, Johnson, Hardy, Parrish, Easley, Jackson...will be the WR's with David Nelson going to the P.S. if they don't want to keep 7 WR's, but I think D. Nelson has potential as well. He is big with decent speed and good hands. He could surprise.
I also believe, like I mentioned above, that teams WILL have to "game-plan" for specific players on our defense as well this year. Byrd and Whitner, I believe, will become an extremely solid duo as safeties. A top unit in the league. McGee, McKelvin and Florence make up for 3 very good CB's. So, teams will have to be careful passing against us.
Teams will have to be even more careful with the likes of Aaron Maybin and (hopefully) Aaron Schobel coming off the edges. Poke all you want at Aaron Maybin, but I am calling it now...he will have double-digit sacks this year. Teams will have to pass more on us because our run-defense will be much more stout. This will result in more sacks/turnovers. I also think the Alex Carrington and Antonio Coleman will become 2 strong forces for our defense this year.
I think we will be much improved...just from the infusion of new coaches, schemes and philosophies...especially with most of it being offensive minded. However, I think we are finally bringing in FOOTBALL players and that'll help tremendously.\
I just see NO WAY we are worse off than the last couple of years.

Best post i read all day.
I know about the police, i know first hand homie they watch black men with money ...once u a target its on for them.
Thanks man...just speaking the truth.
I am a white man...but I see no color.
This is EXACTLY why my Father got out of the police force 30 years ago...and why my Uncle just retired 5-10 years ago from being the Lieutenant of Ontario County Sherriff's Office. MANY cops, especially the younger ones, are all pushing out their chests because they now have that "badge" and a gun on their hip. THEY think they are more bad-ass than the "thugs" do nowadays. It is why SO MANY people, including myself, despise the cops. I have NO respect for them.
Even being a white boy fresh out of high school out where I live...because I wore my hat backwards, had earrings and drove a nice sports car...I would get targeted. However, the **** really hit the fan when I got pulled over in a gas station parking lot because I had a "Phish" sticker on my back window..."Suspicion of use or possession of marijuana," the cop told me, as he approached my car asking me if he could search my vehicle. I told him of course he could search my car, if he had a better reason to and provided me with a search warrant. I also swiftly reminded him that my Uncle was HIS BOSS, probably sitting back at the Sherriff's office waiting for this chump to get back with somebody...but it sure as **** was not going to be visiting Uncle Mikey on this night. Not because this jerkoff pulled me over in a gas station parking lot for a reason that is equally discriminating as pulling me over for being black, having dreadlocks or wearing a !@#$ing yamaka on my head. I reminded him who my Uncle was and who my lawyer was (also happens to be the most well-known and respected judge out where I live), and I then told him to get lost...he had no business even talking to me.
I also got stopped walking home one night from a party because I was wearing a red bandana...and that supposedly represented me being a part of a gang...because there are so many "gangs" in Canandaigua, NY. (Not to mention, I am as white as Casper the Ghost, quite the prep and (at that time) I sported ZERO tats or markings.)
The Canandaigua Police department is WELL KNOWN for being this way...EVERYBODY out here knows it. This is NOT a big city by any means. Many would argue it is a "City" at all...yet you see a cop every couple hundred yards.
This IS what our society is turning into...sooner or later we won't be able to walk down the street to get an ice-cream cone without being harassed by a cop, asking us what we are doing, where we are going, who we are...etc.
Just for good measure..."F**K THE POLICE!"
"F**k that ****, 'cause I ain't the one for a punk muthaf***a with a badge and a gun, to be beatin' on, and thrown in jail, we could go toe to toe in the middle of a cell. To the police, I'm sayin' f**k you punk. Readin' my rights and ****, it's all junk. Pullin' out a silly club, so you stand, with a fake ass badge and a gun in your hand. But, take off the gun so you can see what's up and we'll go at it punk, I'ma f**k you up!"
(Save the "Wow you're mature" or the "Hey, stay classy" comments...I couldn't care less what anybody thinks of this post, it IS MY opinion and I AM entitled to it. And if you're a cop...F**K YOU TOO!)

JR to check into a fat farm.
Okay, so JaMarcus is back over 300 pounds and nobody has the slightest interest in this colossal bust, but that doesn't mean the Bills shouldn't sign him.
First of all ESPN and NFLN haven't talked about the Bills in weeks. Signing JM would make us relevant again. True, everyone would be laughing at us, but that's better than being ignored.
Second, Russell was a #1 overall pick, so this guy must be 10 times better than any QB the Bills have. Do you know that Russell's score in Madden 2007 was a 90? That last Bills QB to have a score that high was Doug Flutie, and wasn't he awesome? Don't you want someone as awesome as Flutie again?
For cripes sake, people it's almost June and Nix hasn't done anything in weeks! WEEKS!! What the hell are they waiting for? GAAHHH! FRIGGIN' OFF-SEASON!

Funny thing is, as you sit here and waste your time to bash the guy...he still has and ALWAYS will have more money AND athleticism than you could ever dream of.
Carry on...

Will everybody leave the guy alone now???
He is just a West Coast African American football player from Oakland California who happens to have dreadlocks and listens to rap music. He likes to have fun like all 20-something year olds do...
But now, I guess it is your beloved city of Buffalo who is the "thug!" Your cops sure as **** don't seem worthy of anything...just a bunch of pigs on power trips, hating the dreadlocked black millionaire.
Associating with the city of Buffalo and their Police departments is MORE of a "Black Eye" to the Buffalo Bills franchise...than drafting Marshawn Lynch has ever been!
These !@#$s are supposed to protect these players and idolize them...after all, they are the ones who will hopefully someday bring us what we ALL want so badly...and that is a professional sports championship trophy to call our own.
I bet if it was Trent Edwards, Brian Moorman...or even Thomas Vanek or Ryan Miller who's car got hit by a beer can being thrown by a fan....said fan would have been found and arressted.

Oh no ... someone who worships the Madden ratings ... do you have a special room dedicated to Mel Kiper too?
Madden ratings in the month of May for players who have never played a single down in the NFL are a pure joke.
Of course all of us wish that the Bills were a better team to play with in a computer game ... but seriously ...
Pretty sure it is all just for fun there tough guy.
The ratings came out before the draft. They just showed the rankings as the players got picked. So, if Spiller had been taken first overaall by the Rams, 32nd overall by the saints or in the 4th round by the Pats, he would still be a 79Either way...there are always roster updates and once our new guys shine, they will be rated better.
I must say I am a big Madden geek...and I have A LOT of spare time on my hands right now. So, I have gone through and taken the players out of NCAA '10, imported them into Madden '10...simulated the 1st season in a Franchise where I control ALL 32 teams...at the end of the season I updated the Coaching staffs and ALL the signings/trades/cuts and then I went through and did the draft, adding the players to the right team. Many of my players are way off, some 1st rounders went in the 4th, some 7th rounders went in the 1st...but it IS pretty decent as far as being realistic goes.
The only thing that kills me is, when I change the Bills' players over to the 3-4...Schobel/Kelsay/Maybin to OLB etc...they drop HEAVILY in ratings...like 80's to low 60's...Schobel went from a 84 or something, to a 67 overall...it hurts on Defense.
Our running attack is nasty...so are some of our rookies. (Spiller, Easley, Wang, Carrington, Coleman)

yeah because making pro bowls has a lot of meaning....how many pro bowls did Rueben Brown make that he didnt deserve?
the pro bowl is nothing more then a popularity contest that is usually based on name recognition...its a joke
playing 12 years in the league doesnt make someone great either....Daunte Culpepper has 10 years in the league? does that make him great as well
some people seem to always buy into the media hype
He was a 5th round draft pick and he is probably headed to the hall of fame!
You are an idiot and have no talent evaluating skill if you think Zach Thomas was overrated...complete idiot!
Ask ANYBODY in the league what they think of him...people who ACTUALLY KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT FOOTBALL!
Did Thomas, Reed, and Smith all retire as Bills?Why would they...it would have been a waste of time according to this jackass up above!

Nice to see he got his wish. Yeah, I hated the guy because he was a Dolphin and so damn good...but I think he was certainly the face of that franchise for years and he was a steal as a 5th round pick.
He was a class act and a good football player.
I wish him well. The NFL needs to find more guys like Zach Thomas.

That's is all, carry on.
"What, no link? Come on man, where's the link? I don't believe you man, I need some proof!?"
Good luck J.P. and Mike Williams (USC WR that is)...Fat Mike too!

"Thug" has a very specific historical meaning (worshippers of Kali who committed murder as a religious act). In current usage, it also has a fairly specific meaning. So...who are those thugs on the Bills?
All of the players you people sit here and admonish EVERY single day.
Marshawn Lynch
James Hardy
Steve Johnson
Roscoe Parrish
Donte Whitner
Leodis McKelvin

This goes to show that...

Rotoworld is reporting what several media outlets in Denver are suggesting: That Kyle Orton is on the trading block. This due to McDaniels man love for Tebow and Brady Quinn has looked very sharp, and reportedly is pushing for the starting job. Also, the Broncos are high on last year's draft pick Tom Brandstater. They have four QBs on their roster now, and clearly will carry only three.
I'd be mildly interested in seeing what the price tag is for Orton. A 5th or lower next year, and that might make sense for us. Also, if Brandstater is released in the preseason, he is seemingly worth a long look, from the little that I know about him.
Kyle Orton blows...I would even take Tyler Thigpen over this guy!
All of our QB's are better than Orton...I rather us pick up Mike Vick...
...or even Greg Inglis from Rugby and play him at QB!
Poz one of the best tacklers?
