How are the Homers feeling about this.

[patmoran2006]

Lets see. Less than a week into camp.

* Our Top draft pick is STILL Unsigned, the only player taken in the top nine who's not in their team's camp (and who's also projected to start)

* Our other top pick has already been hospitalized (though he's now fine)

*Rumors are circulating about TKO now, that he's not playing the preseason at all and his status for opening day is now questionable.

* One of the QB's that Marv hand-picked to bring and in challenge for the starting job hurt his hamstring, and its not a "minor" injury.

Great week in Bills-land.

Re: How are the Homers feeling about this.

I'm having a hard time getting ready for the season...I could see them going 7-9 but I am not excited by the events at camp.

----It happens, he'll be here soon enough.


* Our other top pick has already been hospitalized (though he's now fine)
------Oh god, he's totally fine. He's a big fat guy running around in the 90 degree weather.


*Rumors are circulating about TKO now, that he's not playing the preseason at all and his status for opening day is now questionable.
-------That's Paul Hamilton and the morons at GR. I listed to the updates over the weekend. Spikes said that he's fine, but he's not going to play in the preseason so as not to risk it. Hamilton, thinking that he's investigating Watergate starts with the questions. "If he's 100% why not play the preseason?" He's trying to start trouble. Listen, when you're coming back from an injury like that, why risk playing against some team's 84th players trying to win a job with the Panthers or Browns in August. No thanks. Target week One TKO and don't let the Douche Bags from GR get you down.

* One of the QB's that Marv hand-picked to bring and in challenge for the starting job hurt his hamstring, and its not a "minor" injury.
--------this is great news. It give more reps to the guys that are 1 and 2 anyway. Not that it matters because if Holcomb wins the job he'll be lynched by the media and fans.

Right on Pat.

Re: How are the Homers feeling about this.

As always, I agree with Pat.

It didnt happen to eight of the other teams who picked in the top nine.. He's a starter supposedly, we got rid of Milloy and Marv valued the safety position that IMPORTANTLY to "reach" for Whitner with the 8th pick.. He already missed OTA's cause of School Exams, so he's even FURTHER behind the 8 ball then most rookies around the league.

Agreed... But its not a promising sign.

TKO from his OWN quotes doesnt sound as convincing as he was this spring.

If its great news, then Marv really blows for giving a guy a $1.3 million signing bonus just to come into camp to be a third string quarterback. Couldnt' we bring back Todd Collins for that at about a third of the price?

1.3 mil on a 110 mil cap. It's like throwing a deck chair off the titanic. It was a gamble that failed. No harm, no foul.

What about conditioning for a full game? What about getting used to contact and full speed, which are hard if not impossible to simulate during practice? TKO would benefit immensely from preseason. If you think he can skip pre-season and be 100% on opening day, you're out of your mind.

Plus, you apparently don't understand how preseason works. Starters usually just play the first few series for practice, and after that the teams swap in the guys they need to evaluate. If Spikes did play pre-season, he'd spend most of his time going up against other teams' starters.

I don't care what the cap is, that is a total crock of **** to say $1.3 million or $2.5 million we gave to Price is no harm, no foul if it doesnt work out.

With a higher cap, goes higher salaries during free agency and contract negotiation time..... That extra $1.3 million near the bottom part of your cap is usually the difference between landing Isreal Idonjie .... or Ryan F'n Denney.

So dont tell me $1.3 million means nothing.

1.3 is almost minimum.

TKO would benefit immensely from preseason. .

NOT when you are coming off an achilles injury. Spikes is PROVEN. Making him play early isn't gonna help us find out if he's back to old form. It's gonna have an opposite effect if he reinjures it . Remember Pinkston from the eagles?

it's not about helping us- it's about helping him get used to contact and to playing full speed again. And to learn how to use the new D in an actual game situation.
