K-9 Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Dude needs to get some snaps with the starters before anyone gets too excited. Still better to play good against the B team than to stink against them. True, it would be good to measure him against first string OLs. But his reaction time off the ball isn't related to who's lined up against him. Post snap, by all means; it's a whole different game vs. better players. But if there is a quicker guy off the ball on our team, I'd like to know who that is. GO BILLS!!!
Jauronimo Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Yes. It is too soon. Too soon to make a reference to a character played by Robin Williams? Seems like the internet is replete with references to his work this week. What exactly do you find offensive?
xsoldier54 Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Says the man with the yellow squirt gun pasting JBJ's face. So you're saying making a joke about pissing on Bon Jovi is the equivalent of making a joke about someone who committed suicide less than 24 hours ago and who was loved and admired by millions of people? Sorry I don't see the correlation, but I am changing my avatar immediately since you find it so offensive.

xsoldier54 Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 What joke was made that made fun of Robin William's suicide? So you didn't see this post? "I heard he came from the planet Ork. Too soon?"
Jauronimo Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 So you didn't see this post? "I heard he came from the planet Ork. Too soon?" What part of that post makes fun of Robin Williams' suicide? Had he not written "Too Soon" that post would look like any number of homages to the late actor. Is "Too Soon?" offensive?
3rdand12 Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Yep. The Bills started calling Robey in the fifth round, saying they were thinking of drafting him. Henderson kept calling him and basically won him over. That's why he signed with the Bills after it was over; he thought they showed the most interest and he would have the best opportunity. I heard him talk about it on GR in the offseason. Henderson really did a great job of recruiting. Henderson seems to be a great coach. The Players love him. We got good results last year (outside of Justin Rogers who to me has always sucked). Pettine really wanted him and Marrone/Whaley wouldn't let the Browns talk to him. Probably helped Aaron Williams tremendously. This is one of my favorite pieces of this team. Don't forget McKelvin and Searcy improvement.good post Kelly . Pleased to find out Bills recognized his talent and the pursued him. So now the Bills recognize talent and then actually develop it ? And its not just players .
Captain Caveman Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 I'm offended that Jauronimo is offended that xsoldier54 is offended.
Jauronimo Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 I'm offended that Jauronimo is offended that xsoldier54 is offended. But I'm not offended.

C'mon man if you can't see how referencing Mork from Ork, not in tribute, but in a mocking manner on the very day the man died is offensive, then it is pointless to have this conversation. It was in poor taste and I think deep down the OP knows it. I'm offended that Jauronimo is offended that xsoldier54 is offended. I'm offended that you're offended that you think Jauronimo is offended because I am offended. Your move. Edited August 13, 2014 by xsoldier54

I would not compare the rest of the world to the Character of this board Jauronimo .I might guess the idea behind respecting Robin Williams unfortunate end of life is that with anyone, a moment or period of silence is to be expected . a thoughtful time for retrospection . "Too soon" was the question. at that point some of Us said yes . maybe thats the deal Edited August 13, 2014 by 3rdand12

Kelly the Dog Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 If anyone could have appreciated gallows humor and making immediate inappropriate wisecracks after tragic events it was Robin Williams. Ain't too soon. It's over. It's tragic. Some people make jokes. He would be the last person to be offended by jokes at his expense. Unless they are just bad jokes. Poor guy. RIP. Troubled soul. But jokes are fair, IMO.

If there was a time that was too soon to make a passing reference to the deceased it was officially declared over well before this afternoon. Typing "Ork" may have been meant in mockery and its still less worthy of outrage than half of the earnest attempts I've seen to honor the man.
Mark Vader Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Dude needs to get some snaps with the starters before anyone gets too excited. Still better to play good against the B team than to stink against them. I don't think anyone here sees Cohen as a starter, but if he can be a good back-up player, which he has shown to do, then he deserves a real chance to make the team.

I dont think any harm was meant here abouts . what the rest of the world does may not matter as much to me though.RIP Robin a master of his craft . watch "waiting for Godo " or Fisher King even. I don't think anyone here sees Cohen as a starter, but if he can be a good back-up player, which he has shown to do, then he deserves a real chance to make the team. And with Branch not taking the Game very seriously......
Matt in KC Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 True, it would be good to measure him against first string OLs.

Captain Caveman Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 But I'm not offended. Don't tell me how you feel. I'm offended that you're offended that you think Jauronimo is offended because I am offended. Your move. You just cancelled yourself out.
boyst Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Yes. I was thinking maybe from the Queen of Sheba. didn't Edwards play for a long time on some other team? the ravens, and i think he is still on the panthers. up until like week 6 last year he lead the league in sacks actually
Buffaloed in Pa Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 I don`t know. I know where he was sent. NFL Hell. Buffalo.
