Royals

BlueVol03 — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 15:16:44 -0000

So I just noticed on ESPN that Coco Crisp will be out for the season. Will this in any way affect their interest in acquiring our young stud Failcouer? Of course, I would want nothing to do with it if it means getting Jose Guillen. If Guillen isn't in the deal, who could we target and potentially steal from Dayton Moore and the Royals?

Hey, if the Royals thing doesn't work out maybe we could trade Frenchy to Boston for Nick Green, I hear he's gonna be a stud...

Prospects?

BlueVol03 — Wed, 27 May 2009 20:56:18 -0000

Are any of the following prospects a Top 50 prospect possiblity for next season and if so, where would you rank them?

Kyle Drabek

Brad Holt

Brandon Crawford

Nick Noonan

Brett DeVall

Michael Taylor

Dan McDaniel

Adrian Ortiz

Aaron Shafer

Clayton Tanner

Joe Savery

Travis D'Arnaud

Sebastian Valle

I have these prospects in a Sim league and was just curious how they project. For the most part, I have the Phillies farm system and will have whoever they draft in this year's draft. Are there any players they're obviously targeting in the upcoming draft?

Thanks.

Help from StampedeBlue

BlueVol03 — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 18:52:35 -0000

Hello dear football friends,

I am BlueVol03 from over at Stampede Blue. As most sites are, we are doing a mock draft and I will be picking for your Bills. I have browsed your site and seen many opinions on Maybin, Pettigrew, Matthews, and other prospects. I have an idea of where to go with my picks but wanted to ask for insight from Bills fans.

With the Peters situation, are you looking for an OT?

Is Pettigrew worth a selection that high?

Is there a DE worth selecting at that spot in the draft?

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

BlueVol03

It's a great day

BlueVol03 — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 14:58:14 -0000

to be living in Texas. The Cowboys get whipped when all they need is one win to make the playoffs. The last game in their famous stadium and they laid down and played pitiful. If it had been the Lions instead of the Eagles, the Lions would probably not be the first 0-16 team.

We need to revisit some of the preseason posts regarding the season. I know the Cowboys were the sexy pick by the media. I'm surprised the Titans had such a good year, and congratulate them for that. However, I had said all year that the Jags would fall on their face and finish below the Texans in the standings. The Panthers also surprised me...

Just curious, is Romo still going to win more rings than Peyton?

DT Prospects and more

BlueVol03 — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 16:41:14 -0000

Sanders_fan89 did a good post about the DT position and the prospects in the next draft. However, I wouldn't be surprised if Polian does the usual and drafts someone we would have never expected.

What other positions/players could you see Polian taking in the draft?

Alphonso Smith, CB - Wake Forest

Victor Harris, CB - Virginia Tech

Both of the cornerbacks are ideal fits for the Cover-2 scheme. More scouts are high on Harris (probably due to size) although Smith has much better numbers this year and in this career. Smith could fall to us in the 2nd but Harris could go late 1st or early 2nd round.

Max Unger, OL - Oregon

Max has played every position on the Oregon offensive line in his career as a Duck. He also seems to be a very intelligent player. He's a Mudd type of lineman and if Ugoh/Johnson don't show significant improvement I wouldn't be surprised to see Polian keep rebuilding the depth of this line. He's a first rounder and could end up top 15 or 20 depending on what underclassmen declare.

Jarett Dillard, WR - Rice

Dillard is not blessed size or an outstanding 40 time. He has put up some huge numbers and is a very sharp route runner. He currently leads the nation with 14 TDs and has 5 NCAA receiving records. He could probably be had in the third round.

Personally, I think we miss out on Unger in the first and grab a DT(I like Jerry). We could then go with Smith in the 2nd and Dillard in the 3rd.

Anyone else have any prospects that you believe could be a good fit for the Colts?

Sim Leagues

BlueVol03 — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 19:44:47 -0000

I know several users on here are already a part of Goal Line Blitz but how many have heard of My Football Sim? Maybe we could get enough teams together from Colts fans and form a league.

I am also looking for something more like this: http://boards.buffalobills.com/forumdisplay.php?f=16

Does anyone know of an NFL GM Sim league similar to the above? If not, would anyone be interested in forming a league?

Romo out

BlueVol03 — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 16:10:45 -0000

It looks like the beating that Romo took yesterday left him with a broken finger. He should miss about 4 games. Brad Johnson will take over at QB. Owens can't be thrilled and Phillips may be gone.

I never cheer for a player to go down but it's nice to see Dallas having problems. It's going to be a good week down here in Texas. We stomp Baltimore and Dallas loses. I'm already enjoying rubbing it in to the co-workers.
