All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

I wanted us to grab the top 2 pass catching FB's in the last 2-3 drafts..
--Mainly because our QB situation has been so mediocre. ESP in the pocket & since we can't afford the luxery of drafting the elite TE's year in/out, we could use a pick outside the 1st on another dumpoff target..
---JP coulda really benifitted from a reliable recieving FB. We don't even really use FB's anymore...
---I really wanted us to nab Leonard from the year befores draft... I bet that woulda really made a difference with JP. So regardless of "unfare", i want Trent to get dumpoff targets... But...GREAT NEWS,,Trent nails dumpoffs to our RB's as it is..
--RB Fred Jackson looked awesome last year catching short passes from Trent and Marshawn caught on as well...So for me & my philosophy is that a elite FB might not be needed with Trent Edwards, But i know Drew & JP woulda flourished..Am i wrong? I mean i couldn't possibly know this & our staff doesn't right?
--I admit i did want to draft him last year. I just drafted him in "Head Coach" :p
--FYI--Robert Royal is very servicable. And a elite blocker. IMO only really good teams(NE) can draft TE's in the 1st round. OR really ******ed teams like San Fran with Vernon Davis.. Pat Moran, did you really want us to use our very high 1st rounder on a TE>? Even if the TE in mention appears to have the Capt America super soldier serium.err,,,Combine stats galore! I have a feeling we're gonna destroy Seattle this sunday!!
--sorry bout the OT ranting... Yeah i'll watch out for Scmitt sunday lol....
Elite is a big stretch. Average, even above average is stretching it. We need him to be a pass catching TE, and I hope he picks up where he left off in the Pittsburgh game, then we can say he's a good TE. As of right now, Royal is in the bottom 1/4 of TE's because he's one dimensional.

No doubt he needs to be a catching TE but that wasn't what I was talking about was it? He's one of the top blocking TE's in the league. Whether that makes him elite or not is a matter of opinion. NO one is saying he blocks like a top OL.

What makes you say that he's one of the top blocking TE's? How do you measure that?
That's like saying Vince Young is the best scrambling QB...he still doesn't do what he should to complete his game by being an accurate passer which is what a QB's main job is to do.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
