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!
PFF Bills-Panthers Re-Focused. Colin Brown graded worse than last week
Re: PFF Bills-Panthers Re-Focused. Colin Brown graded worse than last week
Oh I believe it, watching him. He was getting blown by all the time. When Legursky is back it wouldn't hurt to give him a shot because, can he really do worse?
Levitre graded out at -3.1 against the Texans, FWIW. He wasn't and still isn't worth the $7.8M/year he got.
I'd buy that if we used that money to pay or extend someone else. But we are $19 million under the cap. As usual, Ralph just stuffed it in his mattress.

I'm a little surprised they didn't keep Antoine Caldwell in case of something like this happening. He's got a lot of experience and can't be any worse than Brown.

Doesn't matter. You don't pay him ridiculous money, period.

Yep...Legursky should start, so we'll see how that goes.
the worst thing is if the bills have an OL injury. then colin is a weaklink and then the new guy is a weaklink.
marrone may need to get hands on with this line and coach them up. we are stuck with these guys, better or worse.
The question isn't if we have an injury but when we have in injury. There isn't many teams in the NFL that make it through an entire season without one of their starting OL getting injured. When that happens it won't be pretty at all.

Were you writing the check for it? If the money never gets spent then how does that help the Bills by Ralph pocketing the money? They don't give trophies for the most available cap space at the end of every season.
The only thing it did was weaken our team and running game. Last year there were huge holes on the left side for Spiller to run through between Glenn and Levitre blocking for him. This year it's a total different story and then Glenn and/or Wood needs to help out Brown on his blocking instead of worrying about just their duties. That makes our OL even weaker overall because we need one of them two guys to help Brown out which leaves somebody else unblocked, etc.
Re: PFF Bills-Panthers Re-Focused. Colin Brown graded worse than last week
The way some people around here treat the usage of the Bills salary cap reminds me of people who go without to save most of their money their entire lives and just stare at their checkbook. They don't even end up spending the money when/if they retire early. Eventually they get old and can't have any fun with the money or they die. Instead of having fun at some point in their lives or supplementing their SS at an old age their kids or other family members spend the money they saved for a few decades.
Eventually when they're 70 years old they are still staring at their checkbook and the thousands more they added to their savings account that year while they ate from the dollar menu at McDonalds three days a week. They get hooked on looking at their account balance but they never end up spending it. At least when they die their kids/family can put the money to good use. With the Bills salary cap it just disappears and never gets used by anybody but Ralph heirs.

Not an excuse. Again, Levitre graded-out a -3.1 by PFF in his last game. You don't spend $7.8M/year on a guy like that no matter how much money you have. And Chris Johnson has a worse YPC average than Spiller.

If that's the case then we better get rid of Manuel immediately. He was a -3.2 for the game. -3.1 doesn't sound great but we're talking one game and not a -8.3 like Colin Brown and literally the worse OL in the league the past two weeks.
