Re: Fitz on Sirius
I listened to it all. I'll post what I remember.
They asked him about his running ability and when he chooses to run. He said that mostly it's on 3rd downs when the protection breaks down or no one is open. He hasn't learned to slide yet.
They compared him to Rich Gannon and said he is following his career path - tough, great athlete, smart, etc.
Talked about Stevie J. being a great talent and wondering why he didn't get on the field last year. Said that he's great getting off of press coverage and finding holes in the zone.
Also complimented David Nelson and Roscoe Parrish and said they have 4 WRs that are playing at a very high level.
Kirwan said that some teams are packing it in for the season but he has noticed that the Bills have not and said that they simply don't play that way.
Fitz talked about his connection with Martz and noted that the Bears defense is big, fast, and tough and they keep it simple. They're leading the league in 3 and outs forced and in 3rd down conversion percentages from a defensive perspective.
I'll post more as I remember.

Re: Fitz on Sirius
I caught the tail end.
He talked about trying to see everything on the field and spread the football around. He loves his four receivers Evans, Johnson, Parrish and Nelson. He doesn't try to force the ball to anyone in peticular he's just looking for the open guy.
They asked about Mike Martz and his playcalling style. Fitzy was in STL in 05.
The locker room is staying positive despite being 0-6 he says morale is still high and they feel like they can win every week.
After the call the hosts pretty much all agreed the Bills win this weekend.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Originally posted by HAMMERMy boss called right when it started, sorry folks, I have nothing for you.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?

Re: Fitz on Sirius
Originally posted by GoobylalI think that the offense and ST's will be fine, but the defense will take some luck to improve next year.
I think this draft class.
Troup, Moats, Spiller, Nelson, maybe Coleman will be a nice future for this team.
Still want to see what Carrington can do, remember Easly as well......
DEFENSE, DEFENSE, DEFENSE is what this teams focus needs to be.....
We need LB'S bad and depth.....
I think Stroud is at the end, I like our interior guys Williams is playing at a great level right now and is still young in his career. I think Maybin can still play I just think he will need time like Gholston with the Jets......If not he will be gone in Training camp next year....
The good thing is, I dont think it can get worse then this right now......
GO BILLS!GO Gators!!!!!!
GO GATORS!!
