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!
I think I remember him being a smallish (5' 9" 185 lbs?), quick playmaker out of West Virginia. Despite his size, he projects at Safety as well as CB.
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?
since when have the Bills had a problem with 5'9" CBs? McKelvi's 5'10", McGee 5'9", Corner 5'9"- the only non-rookie that's over 6' is Florence and we just signed him.

He has been written about a lot by Brown as is Ashlee Palmer. Might have to keep an eye on these guys. Definite PS guys I would say.
What I like about having Palmer, Bowen, Harris is that these guys seem like they can be solid backups where as Corto and Costanzo are strictly Special teams. I guess we will see in the preseason.
Lankster is probably doomed to be a victim of numbers with the Bills. He may make the PS, but it LeBeau knows about him, other DCs around the league probably do too. When the injury bug starts to bite some teams, he's probably going to get claimed unless the injury bites Buffal first. Maybe he'll sprain a finger and go on IR.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
