I recall reading something this past week about Freddie Jones, but it was mentioned that he said somethng like the Bills were looking for a blocking TE, which is not his strength. If I can find it, I'll post the link.

We all understand that every once in awhile we need to make the family believe that they come first.

And the off-season is the best time to cement that perception! :D

You're right, that's why we should draft one early. We need the whole package.

He won't sign with us. He is looking for a team that will utilize his pass catching skills. Apparently we are looking for a solid run blocking TE.

I like Alex Smith as well if we are somehow able to get 2 2nd round picks I wouldn't mind using 1 on Smith.

Could be true it just depends on how our front office grades the players available.

If I know TD, he likes to draft O-line guys who are versatile. He'll probably draft a guy who can play center and guard and another guy who can play guard and tackle.

In that case, Baas would be great, but I don't think he'll be available at the 2nd pick...

I'd take Freddie. We already got pretty decent blocking TEs.

Freddie Jones is NOT a good blocking TE. He is more of a revolving door when it comes to blocking. He does have decent hands but was a major disappointment in Arizona. He was probably the most picked on player in the local media and that says alot.

No thanks. I wanna see a blocking TE. I like the idea of giving Neufeld a shot. I noticed his intensity in a few games when i rewatched them this week. Maybe he could be something. :star:

I'm not too high on Neufield. I think it's good that we have him as insurance, but last year, I remember swearing a couple of times and then asking my friend, "Who is number 88 that missed a block?" or "...dropped the ball?" and when my friend would look it up and say Neufield, I would raise my hands in the air and say, "It figures!". I just hope Campbell and Euhus recover fine. Neufield is an insurance policy, but we will not do well if he's our main TE.

My question is this: If they told Freddie Jones they are looking for a TE that is a better blocker, why even bring the guy in? You would think they would have known that before having him make a flight into Buffalo.
