The doom and gloomers have the player prospects failing even before a mini camp.

Re: Who else wish we passed on Shaq,

it was no secret Dallas was looking for a QB going into this draft... Cook was selected to be selected, not because Jerry doesn't like Terry, and was trying to decrease the value of his franchise by not allowing him and the war room to select a QB he had passed on over and over again

The smiley meant I was kidding.

Dallas didn't select Cook Oakland did. Dallas took Prescott.

I don't know why people just don't look at justa's posts and assume that it's wrong.

Thanks for the correction princess.

Just like you. F'd up before you ever got dick in the slot.

Re: Who else wish we passed on Shaq,

I was delighted with Lawson, think he was the best DE available, most solid, fewest drawbacks, didn't think he'd be there.

you said it DE but he will be playing linebacker at 268 ibs, thats what scares me, the bills always think they are smarter than everyone else, draft a guard make him a tackle, draft a DE make him a linebacker and it never seems to work. Jerry Hughes was forced to play Linebacker in the 3-4 at indy and he got run out of town, the bills let him be a pure pass rusher that's why the success in Buffalo. all's we can do is wait and see.

I'd imagine that Lawson will be playing knuckles down a fair number of snaps. And it's not unusual for a hefty LB to be on the field in a 3 -4. PGH's James Harrison did that for years to good effect.

I'm not comfortable having someone on the field as a "pure" pass rusher. They can become the fall guy on screens and draws, end-arounds, pitch-outs. I'm personally partial to cornerback and safety blitzes.

With the rules favoring the pass attack, defenses have tried to increase interior pressure to hurry the qb into quick pass decisions - which aid coverage.

Well yeah but it's not really linebacker in Ryan's defense. It's not a traditional Fairbanks-Bullough 3-4. As they've even said it's more a 5-2.

Re: Who else wish we passed on Shaq,

He might as well call it a 7-0, because I doubt even Wrecks knows who is rushing the passer, clogging the run lanes, or dropping into coverage half of the time.

Re: Who else wish we passed on Shaq,

I'd take him at if there every time, except if I knew he'd get injured, then I'd draft someone else. Looking ahead I'll say that about all the players I liked in this draft. Well, to clarify, I'd take them every time, except if they'd become injured, proved to have and/or develop substance addictions, or eventually involve themselves in events necessitating legal address and/or corresponding sanction, or prove deficient and/or incapable in performing their required duties as directed by coaching/play process also referred to as staff/job performance responsibility.

This includes forms of mental hospital admission, and/or outpatient treatments relating to any of the aforementioned circumstances noted above.

As far as the shoulder goes, I'm moving on and hoping Bills brass knew/knows what they were getting into and ate making decisions for what's best for the team in the long run.

I have my doubts though.

Re: Who else wish we passed on Shaq,

Has anyone watched Lawson? My daughter goes to Clemson and I can tell you that he's a great pick and an excellent player.

We are lucky he fell to us so people should stop the *****ing.

So lucky.

How would Nkemidichie look now ? At least he could actually play.

Might look good now but if he gets hurt next week doing something you'd evidently have to eat your words. Run,avoid this treacherous carousel of speculation before you recommend a player who gets hurt !

Re: Who else wish we passed on Shaq,

Anybody can get hurt, but as of today he is NOT hurt.
Shaq was obviously hurt when we drafted him.
