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

So I've been following Troup and a few others during the off season to see what they're up to. Troup has been hitting the gym like a mad man and has been putting on some serious muscle.
Im at a solid 326 lbs!!!

I know he didn't dominate his rookie season but be on the lookout for this guy to be a force for our defense next season. He seems hungry and looking to put in work.
Troup will be much better.
I watched him plenty of times at UCF and the guy in almost 50% of his games was unblockable.
Coming from Conference USA now in to the NFL was a big change.
I think he will be that much better year after year.
I mean Kyle Willams didn't light it up his 1st year either.
It's difficult for a DL guy to just come in and dominate, not every player is as gifted as SUH......
I like what the future brings for TROUP.....
Very few DL, especially 3-4 NT's, contribute their rookie year. Give them one or two years and they turn into monsters, like Ahtyba Rubin and Sione Pouha. I'll be interested to see how Troup does this coming season. I'd bet the 325 range is right where the coaches want him to be.

Another good example is BJ Raji.
Had a great 2nd year.........
I dont think the Bills will grab Dareus or Fairley but what doI know or any of us anyway.....
Don't get me wrong having a great rotation would be nice........
Troup didn't play badly when he actually got on the field last season. He just didn't got on the field that much because Williams was playing well and rookie defensive linemen, unless they are first round picks usually aren't depended on to contribute a lot. I'm pretty optimistic about Troup making a solid contribution this season.
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.

I'd love to get to the point that Baltimore is at, where they've got starting-level depth. I think Dareus would be a great addition to the rotation.

I hear that.....
We need more playmakers all over the place....
Chan and Buddy are playing flip the coin at OBD......
Is it Peterson, Miller, Fairley, Newton, Gabbert, Green, etc..........
They have some decisions to make pending what Carolina and Denver do......
Troup just needs to get stronger so he can anchor the middle. The coaches know that and Troup knows that and he is working hard to achieve it. He is the key piece of the 3-4. NT-check. 2 thumper ILB's draft-please!!!
1) CB Peterson
2) NT Phil Taylor
3) ILB Kelvin Sheppard
4a) QB Ricky Stanzi
4b) ILB Mark Herzlich
5) SS Jeron Johnson
6) DE Ryan Winterswyk
7) OLINE
