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!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Bills release TE Jim Dray, promote TE Gerald Christian
Bills release TE Jim Dray, promote TE Gerald Christian
Per Mike Rodak of ESPN.
The Bills have released TE Jim Dray and promoted TE Gerald Christian from their practice squad. Dray, a veteran blocking tight end, had a minimal impact over the first four games of the season.
I hope Christian can block, since Dray wasn't a pass catching option. And he is a fairly good blocker at the position.
Perhaps we've finally moved along from kickoff specialists and TE blocking specialists.
During Buffalo’s first two games, Jim Dray had 21 snaps, and the other tight end on the roster, Nick O’Leary, had six. Since Lynn’s promotion, Dray has only been on the field for 9 offensive snaps against O’Leary’s 41.
Dray was an obvious Roman signing due to his connection to him at Stanford. I'm not saying he was a problem/serviceable as don't have any memorable plays he was part of except when he got hurt. Yet it might be wise to get rid of guys that were Pro Roman to avoid any locker room issues/problems.

Well, I'm not sure a guy like Dray isn't just happy to be getting a salary, he's not going to be seeing many passes anyway, but you could be right.
The thing that stands out to me though is when say, the Pats have a 2 TE formation, they're both receiving threats, also willing to block, so having a blocking specialist TE telegraphs intentions pretty clearly. Stack the box and the worst Dray can do to you is catch a ball and lumber a few feet before someone catches up to him. O'Leary, as a complement to Clay, can catch too.
