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

The Buffalo Bills are doing a lot of experimenting at linebacker in training camp, with at least five different players seeing first-team reps in the first practice session.
Per WGR 550's Joe Buscaglia, aside from shoo-in starters Nick Barnett and Kelvin Sheppard, three more players saw first-team reps in some capacity: veterans Kirk Morrison and Arthur Moats, as well as rookie fourth-round pick Nigel Bradham. Mark Gaughan of The Buffalo News reports that each player saw first-unit reps based on very specific packages. Morrison is the strong-side linebacker in the base defense, and Moats is seeing time as an additional pass rusher in certain nickel packages. Bradham, perhaps the second-best athlete at linebacker behind Barnett on the roster, may be getting reps because of his ability in coverage...

I think merriman is staying strictly at DE, not LB in the 4-3
Interesting. So who would come out then? I'm assuming Anderson, as it would be stupid to take M Williams out in a pass rush situation.
Either that, or Anderson or M Williams could move inside while K Williams or Dareus could come out, essentially giving us a smaller but faster DL for the pass rush situation.
In the other thread, I picked Bradham to be the guy that really steps up and contributes significantly as a rookie. I really like his athletic ability, I just hope he can keep up with the mental aspect.

That was my take on it as well. Moats is that wild card who will either drop back or rush, while Anderson - Williams - Williams - Merriman man the front 4. That's a nightmare matchup on the inside. Now I know that I'm playing armchair QB here but I'd assume Mario could jump inside with his frame.
I have a feeling Moats won't make the final roster.
I don't think Moats is going anywhere. He's good on special teams as well and he has a decent contribution factor rushing the passer. I see him making the 53.

First, there will be a rotation, I agree M Williams will be in there for most pass rushing situations. It is entirely possible That Dareus or K Williams will be replaced on third and long with Merriman, where you will have 3 DE's on the field. The Giants play with 4 DE's on the DL in passing situations. But in any event, I think the stash will have a heavy rotation to keep guys fresh.
