Hand Finds Mountain-Sized Man, Moves West
It looks to me that Matt Hand's hard work as paid off. The Bills recently hired a new scout Theo Young, his duties will be in the Mid-West and Big 12 region. This was Matt Hand's old region, I know this had much more to do with his overall body of work, but I can't help but think that his work with Jasper (keeping in touch, getting his weight down to a reasonable level, and just follow-through) helped him get one of the best, if not the best, scouting regions there is in the country. Welcome Mr. Young and congratulations Mr. Hand.

TO Signs with the Bengals
The bengals signed Terrell Owens to a 1 yr-2 mil deal...
I hope he produces (except against us) and earns us a compensatory pick...Josh Reed too.

I am new to this site...but I was hoping that we could get some of those great player breakdowns on the guys that OBD has in for visits. Please comment on what you guys think about the players OBD has brought in for visitis and where they might fit into OBD's draft plans. Right now, I am only aware that OBD brought in the following for visits:
Robert Ayers - DE 6'3" 270 lbs

| Ayers is an ascending defender who has great size and the ability to be a quarterback terror. He’s extremely quick off the line and uses his hands very well. He has a powerful lower body and great leg drive. He attacks mostly on the outside and has the ability to bring his momentum inside. He has an explosive nature, but has to develop better technique to compensate for his lack of straight-line speed. - Chris Steuber, Scout.com | |||||||||

Pass Rushing SkillsChip Vaughn - SS 6'1" 220 lbs

I have to admit that I know very little of Vaughn, but I have read that the Patriots have him rated higher than other more popular Safeties. If the Pats are high on this kid, odds are he is a good football player.

| Vaughn is a physically imposing defender who has a lot of upside. He has great size, speed and athleticism. He positions himself well and delivers jarring hits. He’s always around the ball and looks to create turnovers. He’s aggressive at the line of scrimmage against the run, but even though he’s quick, he struggles in coverage. He has to locate the ball quicker and improve his ball skills. - Chris Steuber, Scout.com | |||||||||
