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!
Preston isnt strong enough to start at guard, he gets pushed around.. Thats the problem with this team, cant run the ball or protect Losman up the middle.
they need not one but TWO better guards than they had last year.. its a need, not a luxury
Funny you mention Preston not being strong enough because hew as regarded as the strongest guy in the draft (lower body, which is all that matters on OL.)
Can someone explain why our first rounder is not breaking through into our lineup? Can we get our second rounder bacK?
He started showing some real progress the last couple of games before his season ending injury in week 5. He is expected to come in to camp heavier and compete for the spot next to Tripplett. As of right now, he's not a starter.
QB: JP LOSMAN - God this pains me to admit right lol
RB: Willis McGahee? Dominic Rhodes or Marshawn Lynch possibilities, my gut reaction...McGahee is here one more year.
FB: damion shelton I'm still upset Alan Ricard didn't win this job last year. I give him another shot.
WR: LEE EVANS
WR: peerless price Kevin Johnson had a few productive seasons out in Cleveland with Couch and learned how to block. Good fit as a 2.
TE: robert royal Zack Miller or Cam Cleeland
LT: JASON PETERS
LG: merz Floyd Womack
C: FOWLER
RG: GANDY - i like him at guard not at tackle
RT: terrence pennington Orlando Brown might not be a bad option
Defense
DT: kyle williams Jeff Zgonina
DT: LARRY TRIPLETT
DE: AARON SCHOEBEL
DE: ryan denney N.D. Kalu
LB: ellison? Jamie Sharper would be a nice fit either inside or outside
LB: takeo spikes? Chris Claiborne would be nice.
LB: ANGELO CROWELL
CB: TERRENCE MCGEE-I'd like him better as the number 2 to be honest though.
CB: Youboty? Duane Starks
S: WHITNER
S: SIMPSON
Ones in CAPS are definitely keepers, lowercase need to be gone, question marks next to them would be definitely nice to upgrade.
The people listed next to the names are people I could see us definitely targeting.
QB: JP Losman
RB: Willis McGahee FB: Damien Shelton
WR: Lee Evans WR: Peerless Price TE: Robert Royal
LT: Jason Peters LG: Merz
C: Melvin Fowler RG: Duke Preston RT: Terrence Pennington

CB: Terrence McGee CB: Ashton Youboty

S: Ko Simpson
Ones in bold IMO absolutely HAVE to be upgraded..
Those in italic (Price, Royal, Pennington, Williams) would be nice to have a better player there, but you cant have everything so those players you could live with. (If I had to pick one more though it would be Price to be benched)
I'll do better...
JP Losman- He progressed wonderfully, and is our franchise QB. All we should be talking about is back-up.
Willis McGahee- You're happy with this guy? Mediocre production, questionable work ethic, more paternity suits than 1,000 yard rushing seasons, and he wants a lucrative extension he isn't getting. Definitely could be upgraded.
Daimon Shelton- He's a FA and shouldn't be resigned. Cieslak is better.
Evans- See Losman, insert WR where necessary
Price- Meh...could we get some one a few inches taller? I won't cry if we don't upgrade him, but I certainly won't be wild about another year of "Peerless."
Royal- He's good enough. If Kevin Everett could figure out how to get on a football field, we'd have a good compliment for him...but that seems like a shaky proposition.
Peters- See Losman, insert LT where necessary.
Gandy/Merz- See Peerless comment. Merz looked good when he played.
Fowler- Above-average.
Preston/Villarial- We do need one other guard, for the record. Maybe it's Butler...maybe he's not on the roster...
Pennington- He played FINE. Why the hell do you hate on the guy? Would you like him better if he came from a higher round? It's a matter of him learning, it's not a question of his intangibles. A lot of teams have good OLs built primarily from late-round and undrafted talent. Like the Broncos...
Williams- He's fine. We DO need another one-gap, given we have 2 of each. Maybe it's McCargo...and maybe we draft one.
Triplett- I'm surprised he isn't bolded or something. I'd like to see better out of him myself...
Denney/Hargrove- I'm fine with them. Kelsay is the one who gets pushed around, not Denney.
Schobel- I hope no one thinks he's weak after single-handedly bullrushing big ole' D'Brickashaw on his fat ass. That was great, and made me like him even more.
Ellison- He certainly outplayed TKO...
Crowell- Good player.
TKO- I'm losing patience, and won't shed a tear if he gets cut. That said, draft a linebacker. The way I see it, we have two starters, one of which is a potential starter, not a lock(Ellison), and TKO may not be any of 'em.
Youboty- He's a Buckeye corner. Doesn't that guarentee he's starting-calibre? At least there's a good history. What do you want here...Nick Harper i.e. Troy Vincent redux? Draft another? All assuming Clements doesn't come back..
McGee- I shiver at the thought of playing the Jaguars in the play-offs...will all big wide-outs beat him like a rented mule?
Other points of concern...
O-Line depth- I feel like we're short a good depth player...
Back-up QB- We need to light some fires under KH and Nall...neither impressed me last year.
Linebacker depth- Ewww...well, ok, Stamer made a good play(before ending his season with an injury), but Haggan doesn't inspire confidence...
Good riddance Fairchild. Of course, the knowledge of your departure will only make TE more hateable than the typical Bills QB. Good luck, hope we don't mess you up like JP.
