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!
Do you think we should've dealt with Denny Green for LJ Shelton now that we know Henry turned out to be a bust in Tennessee? Would that have helped our OL more than Bennie Anderson?
I wouldn't really call Henry a bust in Tennesee. He's doing what the would have done here, sharing the ball. Arizona's pass game isn't that bad, but to credit Shelton just doesn't seem right.
Travis Henry had 86 yards on 13 carries last week for Tenn. If Willis did that we would have beaten Carolina. But I think we did well to get the third- it will be a very high third.
LJ Shelton has looked horrible in the times I've watched his blocking. We got that, and cheaper, w/ Bennie Anderson. Then again, we could've had an entire crappy left side of the OL had we acquired Shelton. Damn.

Discuss.
Actually the proper comparison would be Shelton vs. Gandy. Gandy has played average, which on our team, it makes him damn near our best OL guy. Shelton I believe would not have matched Gandy's performance.
Anderson was a different deal, albeit a very stupid "hail mary" one in an attempt to fill the LG hole. As everyone can see, Anderson has failed miserably.

Right, but we didn't. Because at the time we thought our OL was decent, which we came to learn that it's not. So again in hindsight, would Shelton have helped us?
LJ Shelton would have represented one more mediocre lineman in a large cast of mediocre linemen. Our record would be exactly the same as it is now had we acquired him.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
Maybe they could've plugged him in at LT. The Bills' coaches seem to like playing OLmen at positions they arent used to and he couldn't have been much worse the Mike Williams. Then they could use Jason Peters in another 'need' spot, since he plays just about any position on the field.

Shelton has looked terrible everytime I have seen him play. I'm not disappointed we didn't get him...
Shelton would have been our LT instead of Gandy. Peters replaced Williams at RT.

I agree, Gandy has easily outplayed Shelton. Peters has outplayed him on the other side. Gandy has also not had the injury problems that were feared, making him a pretty solid acquisition for the money. Then there's Bennie "fat tub of lard" Anderson. Actually a fat tub of lard might block better than he has.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
