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 this LB thumper, Desmond Bishop, is about to hit the market
Packers linebacker Desmond Bishop racked up 218 tackles and eight sacks in two years as a starter for Green Bay.
Definitely he fits a need for the Bills this year. I'm not sure about the future and his injury is a concern. But to get him to Buffalo, the Bills would have to pay big time, and ... we are developing Bradham and Alonso inside, do we really need someone to take away their reps and plays this season? We'll see what Whaley thinks; I think he would've scouted him back then.

I dunno how much the Bills would really have to lay out for this guy, he's coming off an injury that's lasted almost a full calendar year. He's only 28 and has had success. Worth a look.
Re: So this LB thumper, Desmond Bishop, is about to hit the market
I gotta pass. Dude is coming off injury, but not cheaply. That was the stalling point in GB.
Taking away reps from young'uns, not cool. Once they get comfortable and can play to their speed, Bradham and Alonso should be a lot of fun in Pettine's D.
Re: So this LB thumper, Desmond Bishop, is about to hit the market
no. we have solid guys there in Alonso, bradham, moats, scott, and dowtin as a hybrid. plus white and pough are decent camp bodies. no spots are available man

The Packers rushing D in 2011, with Bishop, ranked 14th, the Bills 28th. In 2010 they ranked 18th, we ranked 32nd. Say what you want but guys like Moats, Scott and White are inferior to Bishop. To me you bring him in, especially since we have a roster spot open with T-Jax cut. At the very least he can improve our depth but more than likely start on the inside and might allow us to shift Bradham back to the outside and let Mark Anderson be a nickel pass rusher which his best role.

1 WORD- wanstache. secondly, bradham needs to develop in year two and Alonso has looked like a big time talent in otas.
Not that he's ancient, just that he would take reps from our youth that's here, healthy, and presumably scheme fits.
The Packers play a 3-4 as well, and it's not so different that GB's 3-4 ILB would be lost in ours. And it's not really a concern if he "takes reps" from a young guy if he outperforms him. At 28 he could be a high level starter probably for 4 more years before we'd have to be concerned with age. It's not like Dansby who's already 31 and past his prime.
