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!
Bills sign Cardinals guard Wells to offer sheet The Arizona Cardinals will have a tough choice in trying to decided whether to match the offer sheet the Bills gave to guard Reggie Wells.
Wells signed a five-year, $17.6 million offer sheet that has a $3 million signing bonus and another $2 million in a guaranteed roster bonus. The Cardinals have seven days to match the offer. If they don't, they would receive a sixth-round draft choice.
Comment:
He has outstanding overall size and bulk and good speed and movement for a big man. He shows decent short area pass protection and comes off the ball with pretty good explosiveness and quickness. You like his movement skills when he is attacking the defense in both the run game and the passing game and his versatility at OG and OT make him an interesting player. All of his problems start to show up when he is asked to move laterally and become an east-west type player. As good as his speed is, it appears to be straight line, and when you ask him to slide and adjust, he is not the same player. His ability to sustain blocks and keep his feet moving is suspect at times, and you don't always see great balance. He doesn't adjust to a moving target very well, and despite his speed, he is not a great space player. He needs to become a better lateral player, and his east and west movement needs to become as comfortable as his north and south movements. When that happens, this is a young guy who could develop into a pretty solid football player, and there is every reason to think that his progress will continue.
