Pyrite Gal Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 The Bills should identify three players (likely the capts of the O, D, and ST) and steal a page from what worked for the Sabres and market themselves as the hardest working team in the NFL. Likely using JP from the offense, Moorman who in addition to be a Pro Bowler has demonstrated he is quite camera friendly, and F-B if he is still around, or perhaps TKO if he isn't should trade on the athleticism of each of these guys to promote the product. The "hardest working" moniker needs to be a reality or it will not ultimately fly, but given the maniacal TKO effort last off-season which led to him actually appearing for the first play and registering a sack (and likely actually working himself too hard and fast and straining his hammy), Moorman twice making the Pro Bowl and actually being a multi-sport athlete in college, and JP who it is said is already studying the playbook and working hard (my significant other actually saw him at her health club working out on a grav machine and was impressed by him busting his butt on a very high setting) so they can actually make a case of working hard even though they are all overpaid. At any rate this marketing approach worked for the Sabres as it fits the blue collar Buffalo style and actually does not guarantee victory simply hard effort and its tough to go wrong with that. Its what GW should have done when he first got here rather than saying his team was all about getting to the playoffs and winning. When they finished 3-13 you could hear the crickets chirping.

justnzane Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Also-Somehow are most electrifying player needs to be in the mix.(Lee Evans) agreed, and i'd almost think if you were going for hardest working that you would go around Schobel instead of TKO
RShirley Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Jim Kelly as Assistant GM. (Joking) I heard a rumor that Marv and Ralph are going to hire Jack Lalanne as the strength and conditioning coach
Lori Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Show up and sell out or we're moving. Frightening thought: you might be the closest to reality on this thread...
pBills Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 I'm going to miss London Fletcher... NC. Who cares, everyone knows that he's expected to get a huge pay day. Why bankrupt the team on one player. One player who can go to cold or burned real fast. Buh-bye Nate.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Frightening thought: you might be the closest to reality on this thread... Ralph isn't long for this world. Hopefully the next owner won't NEED the Bills as a revenue stream.
