A little bird out here in California...

[ublinkwescore]

has told me that the bills are in fact talking to Bernard Berrian. I used to live across the street from where Berrian grew up, and we both know each other and have some mutual friends, as well as were friends off and on growing up.

his parents still live in the same house... I passed a message on to Berrian that for every touchdown he makes this year in a bills Uni is a free lawnmowing for his parents when ever they need it.

Is he good?

Re: A little bird out here in California...

if he wants to be here, wants to play, he will have his opps. given Fitzpatrick's ability to connect with any given reciever on any given drop back. well except the one on the go route. might actually be a very good place for him if he is serious about getting his career back on track.

Looks like his career was steady on the decline and nothing stands out to me.

I don't see the Bills making a move unless Jones is going to out longer than expected.

Re: A little bird out here in California...

I thought someone mentioned last week something about him having questionable work ethic or effort. I can't remember exactly, but I didn't get the impression that he's a great teammate or would be a good fit here. He has decent talent though.

So what's the deal with Donald Jones? I thought he'd be making a return within the next few games.

I don't know any thing about his work ethic, but sometimes recievers play harder if they are under the impression they will get the ball more. like I said, if he pays attention to what's going on here, he will know he will have his opportunities in the Offense.

His best years he had a legit qb under center - not a washed up donovan mcnabb, favre, or rookie christian ponder. Rex Grossman and him had decent chemistry - I think fitz and him could be even better - let's just hope he hasn't lost a step... 4.4 40 at combine I believe.

It was reported that he was working on the sidelines some during practice last week. Typically, that's a sign a player is getting close.

why do this with jones having a chance to play next sunday?

Re: A little bird out here in California...

Didn't the Lee Evans supporters also always use the QB excuse?


I'd welcome him, sure, we could use his deep ball presence. But with Donald Jones coming back potentially this week vs. the Jets I'm not sure that he's entirely necessary.

Still think we should have ponied the conditional 6th rounder for Llyod in a heartbeat however.

Re: A little bird out here in California...

Well if there's no issue with him hurting the chemistry of our WR group, I'm all for it. Even if Donald Jones does come back soon, Berrian would at least be a big upgrade over Ruvell Martin. With how much we use 4 and 5 WR sets it can't hurt to add some more talent and take a little pressure off of Stevie.
