I consider Nelson the number two regardless of who lines up opposite Stevie. Nelson or Chandler will get the second look in most cases. And both guys have been more sure handed than Stevie.

Yeah, I've been reading that. I think Martin gets on because he's suppose to be good at special teams.

Are you saying you think they'll keep seven not counting Brad Smith?

I can't see that happening.

I can't see that happening.
Especially with two kickers

[IAG]

Crazy as it sounds, I would like Plaxico Burress in the Red Zone. I think Chan can handle him.

That worries me a little. Neither guy is a big play threat, or great in yards-after-catch. Chandler with his 10.2 YPR and Nelson with his 11 YPR are both guys who are steady but not threats to make big plays.

SJ is the main gun in the passing game, but they need a 2nd option to get some explosive plays and easy scores. Donald Jones is supposed to be that guy, but he hasn't proven it yet. You can move the ball down the field, but good offenses get explosive plays that lead to easy scores and points. Those kinds of plays scare defenses, otherwise they are going to sit on the short stuff and force the Bills to execute really efficiently. You can run and move the chains with the short stuff, but the explosive plays are what make teams like Green Bay and New Orleans scary on offense.

Really, Spiller is the only explosive guy on offense, and he hasn't been in the field enough to do it often. Graham is supposed to add some of that, but he is an unknown right now.

[The King]

To say Spiller is the only explosive guy is ludacris. Jackson is a threat to score whenever he touches the ball.

Fred is a great player, I am not taking away from his ability. He is an all-round threat in the mold of Matt Forte or Ray Rice.

The passing game lacks big play threats, though. That is a concern. You can spread the field and throw it around, but you need great yards-after-catch guys. I worry that the top receivers outside SJ are catch-and-fall-down guys like Nelson and Chandler. You can move the ball, but if you have to string together lots of plays all the time it is hard to score big. They need more explosive plays. They need a guy like Jones, Graham or Spiller to give them those chunk passing plays that scare a defense.

[The King]

I agree with that. But I think Chandler is going to be a better player this year. I don't know if the player your talking about is on the roster though. I think Jones is limited to his speed I don't think he's a good enough athlete to be a lock at 2.

Maybe it's Graham? The Qbs seem to like him.

No six. Martin and Easley.

Trust me. Plax will not be a bill.

The final battle Roosevelt Martin Easley


I think Roosevelt might get the nod. More upside, runs good crisp routes, return man, and catches most everything thrown to him


Easley is as good as gone IMO.. just way to inconsistent, I would say practice squad but I don't think he is eligible anymore



Crazy as it sounds, I would like Plaxico Burress in the Red Zone. I think Chan can handle him.


Ask yourself one question.. Why does NOBODY want this guy. Even Seattle went with T.O. over Plax.. N.E. tried him out but has no plans to offer him a contract.

[GingerP]

never mind.

[justasportsfan]

the bills are hoping they found gold from garbage players that the league didn't want. Not so worried about it since the HC himself is an offensive minded coach. He's been able to get a lot of of guys like Stevie, Chandler and Nelson. Chan is pretty much hoping Jones and the rest will follow. I had my doubts when we drafted him but I think TJ Graham will develop into a good wr.

why isn't Easley eligible for practice squad? :idunno:

[ddaryl]

why isn't Easley eligible for practice squad? :idunno:

I believe its his 3rd season but with injuries and all I'm not sure if that affects his elidgibility

but after further review I guess he would be...



In order to be eligible for the practice squad, players must meet one of the following requirements:



Have no prior Accrued Seasons in the NFL (An accrued season is six or more games on the active roster);
Have one prior Accrued Season in which the player was on the 45-man active roster for no more than 8 games;
If served two seasons on a practice squad, are eligible for a third season only if the team has at least 53 players on its active/inactive list for the duration of that player's employment
