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

Torbor outside Newly signed linebacker Reggie Torbor was also on the field for his first day of work since offseason surgery. Torbor had a torn labrum in his shoulder repaired this past January.
“It’s not 100 percent right now,” he said. “(Tuesday) was my first day out there doing anything since the season ended and it felt pretty good. I have more work to do.”
Defensive coordinator George Edwards lined Torbor up at outside linebacker, despite playing primarily inside in Miami’s 3-4 the past two seasons.
“Right now I’m playing outside (linebacker),” said Torbor. “I understand that can change on a need basis. So I take that as a positive thing. Right now that’s where I’m starting and I’ll let you know when there’s a change.”
Torbor stated that he does not have a specific preference for either position.
“Both positions have their advantages. If you’re trying to get sacks, I guess you’d rather be outside. And if you’re trying to get tackles it’s better to be inside,” he said. “I haven’t played outside since I was with New York. I’m just in the process of getting back into it today, re-learning out there. It’s fun.”
Torbor was a DE at Auburn. He had 10 sacks as a senior, although he hasn't proven a great pass rusher as a pro. With the Giants, he played outside with Miami inside.
I think it makes sense for Buffalo to play him outside, given it is uncertain if Schobel returns. I imagine they will have him work inside some as well, as his versatility will allow them to deal with injuries. I doubt he starts, unless he flashes some of the pass-rush skill he did in college. I don't think he as strong playing the run at OLB, where he would have to set the edge. He may have some latent pass rush ability, though.
Miami must have liked something about him, because they gave him a $4M signing bonus after only being a reserve/spot-starter for the Giants.
