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

Shawn Nelson put on reserve/non-football illness list
Out of curiosity, does anyone think TE will be a priority in the draft? I'd say we have much bigger needs, and that a good TE would be a supplement to a good team, but I'm curious to hear everyone else's thoughts.

Re: Shawn Nelson put on reserve/non-football illness list
I'd say D-linemen and LBs are a much bigger need. If Nelson (who I think could become a very good receiver) can come back, it seems that he, Stupar and Chandler combined could give us enough at the TE position.
If Nelson is permanently disabled by the migraines, I'd like to see a TE taken with our first OFFENSIVE pick, more so than even an O-linemen. We could really use a TE who can be a productive receiver.
But D is the big priority.
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?

It is a possibility. But I've heard draft analysts say in the past that if the guy isn't the next Tony Gonzalez (Falcons TE), he really shouldn't be your choice at the top of the draft. I tend to agree with that. So with that in mind, we have to take a hard look at who is out there if anyone who fits that kind of potential. If there isn't one, then maybe you grab one in the later rounds. JMO

Id actually prefer a more capable in-line blocking option that we completely lack.
COMING SOON...

A blocking TE or OL? I disagree on the OL part - OT is a much, much bigger need than anything on the inside of the line.
As for blocking TE, I agree they have nothing. Stupar is terrible. Martin is adequate, but not young and is better blocking on the outside. Chandler is young and might be able to fill the role.

Im just saying about TE in general. If its between uber athletic pass catcher, or in-line blocker, give me the blocker for now. Our OL needs the extra help.

6 of one, half a dozen of another.
A really good receiving TE can do wonders when the OL struggles.

Probably the best prospect Tight End in next years draft would be Notre Dame's Kyle Rudolph. I don't see this team going in that direction and he seems to be the only projected first rounder out of the bunch for next year. As far as later rounds, if he falls to the 2nd, we might take a shot at him then, but I'm thinking if we get a TE at all in the draft, it will be a mid round selection or later. JMO

I was very surprised the bills have not made a play to sign Colin Peek.
I like Caussin pick up and hope he gets to play this week.

Rudolph is a likely top 20 pick but that wont be till 2012 because he's returning to South Bend.
