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

Still there’s no way to overlook Ellison’s time on the job. Set to enter his fourth season, all of which have been in Perry Fewell’s defensive system and 30 starts under his belt, it’s hard to imagine Bowen or Harris with no NFL experience coming in and wrestling the job away.
I know it is early, but isn't that awesome!

If you read our training camp question 19 on the home page it’s clear the coaching staff values playing experience at the NFL level. And in a season when making the playoffs is pretty much a must I’ve got to believe that the staff will feel more comfortable with a savvy vet like Ellison on the field.
LOL....what? Ellison is savvy?

I think the race is all on paper right now. It will start on the field, where it will be won, in training camp.
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?
expected. He's been playing that position. He should know the X's and O's of Fewells system. But when the pads come on, knowing isn't enough. Hopefully someone like Bowens will be punishing people and win the job.
Is ellison suppose to help ease bowen into the starting role? i said this in a different thread, but i'll say it here as well. i believe serena williams has a bigger build than Ellison and could probably play linebacker better than him.

DE- May turn out ok if Schobel can come back at a decent level, Maybin can provide some pass rush, Ellis makes any impact
TE- No standouts here but with TO, Evan, Reed, Hardy, Johnson etc will TE be a huge need in the passing game?
OL- Only on here because of so many new guys and position changes. It could very well end up being a strength if these guys gel together.
None of the the weaknesses above are overly worrisome to me and some have the potential to turn around.
It's probably easier to list positions where we don't need much or any help...
Kicker
Punter
WR
RB
CB?
That's about it. I would have added DT but outside of Stroud, we are pretty gay. Our O-line is a mess, we don't have a proven TE, although I like the point you made. Our QB can't stay on the field, Our DEs suck, our LBs are average with the possibility for greatness (Posluszny) and the definition of suck (Ellison). Our Safeties suck.
