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!
As much as I would like to see Nate play in a meaningless game and risk getting injured, this gives him less ammo to ask for $$$ next year. Yep, this is a good thing.

Risk Management should start with our Punt Return duties being handed over to Fast Freddie.. as far as the Money issue Nate will have to be paid like a top 3 cover corner next year because of his youth.

I agree with the punt return duties, but if Clements is going to be looking for Top 3 dollars, you might as well start posting threads now about who his replacement is going to be.

I think the world saw how we lost the first game of the season.
That was one of the dumb plays of the week. And I believe substitutes are now determined by coach of the AFC Championship losing team and I doubt Cowher thinks Nate is a great CB.

7 Tackles, 2 FF, and an Int. return for a TD in the final game.. Cowher must have a short memory if he thinks that performance wasn't Pro Bowl calliber.

I thought alternates where chosen by the coach of each Pro Bowl team. But I am not sure how the coach is chosen. I thought it was the two coaches from the previous Superbowl, kind fo like in baseball.

Ya gotta admit, Nate looks like Pro Bowl material one minute and Chris Watson the next. I don't get it. However he is getting to the point in his career when he can really excell and be a top 3 corner. Most DB's don't come into there own until they are 29-30.

Alternates are done by the results of the voting. The coaches are from the two teams that lost the conference championship games, and each coach gets to add one player of their choice to the squad, regardless of the votes.

Nate pretty much looked like a top 5 corner this season, which was his best in TT and Passes defensed.
At times he had no support from the safties and the Bills lack of a consistent pass rush, but at no point did he look like a Chris Watson.. not only does he have the most Ints every year but he also causes the most FF.
Clements will be a huge FA to retain next year and it will take top 5 money to do it unless this team wins the AFC or the SB.. TD had better get ready to come off some real money or he's gone.
Look at his stats starting with his rookie year.. he has steadily progressed.. Pro Bowl Snub.
yeah, he is not always dominating but neither is any other corner in the NFL.
he is a game breaker, and a top 5 corner, might be a bit more of a gambler than we need at times, but he is getting better and an int for a TD here and there is worth SOME risk taking.
he is better than every corner taken his year and after in the NFL, that says something.

He tends to gamble occasionally but that should subside as he becomes more comfortable with his fellow DBs and gains confidence in their ability to back him up. This defensive backfield was a work in progress throughout most of the season.
Youth equates to value at the CB position and Nate just turned 25 a month ago.
