Buffalo News Err on All-Time Bills team picture

In the Wednesday, November 4, 2009 edition of the Buffalo News, they have as the poster at the back of the Sports Page a picture of Ralph Wilson Junior, and inside his silhouette a collage of the Bills All-time team. The error in that poster is that the picture of who is supposed to be current Bills punter Brian Moorman, is actually a picture of Rian Lindell. Stupid Buffalo News

BS about TO to CHI

I think they are just digging for anything, but we could use a LB

I've been asked 64 times via e-mail, Twitter and one funny talk-show rant how I can possibly still have faith in Trent Edwards as Buffalo's (or anyone's) quarterback of the future. I have two answers. One: I watched the first Monday night game of the season, when Trent Edwards hit his receivers in stride, stood up to a hostile crowd and Patriot pressure and had his team up by 11 points with six minutes to play. Once you see enough perfectly thrown balls and coolly executed drives, you tend to want to give a guy chances to do it again. Two: This is his second starting season. With quarterbacks, assuming they work hard and have the requisite talent, patience is a virtue. All the young ones can't be Ryan and Flacco.

Interesting quote from Mike Martz -- Fitzy

"If A Starting Quarterback Went Down For The Season (Like Brady Did Last Year), Who Do You Think The Best Back-up Quaterback Would Be?

Mike Martz
John Kitna. I believe he's a starter in this league. Ryan Fitzpatrick. He has everything it takes, he has it all. He'll get another opportunity, too, to lead a team, I'm sure."

Peter King acknowledges our young draft pick Nic Harris...even if briefly

Doesn't seem to be too big of a deal....maybe just a pinky toe

Jauron and the 3-4

"Jacksonville's Jack Del Rio and Buffalo's Dick Jauron sat down to talk about their respective teams, and both coaches said they worked on a 3-4 defense as a variation of their 4-3 schemes. Each believes it will come in handy this coming season, especially in passing situations."

So is that how Maybin will be used as an OLB? Two DEs, one DT, and Maybin? I can dig it

Mike Williams is cutting the FAT

Mike Williams is cutting the FAT

Former fourth overall pick Mike Williams is currently a Redskin, and is looking to play more football. In a way I would be even more pissed if he came back and was successful, then if he just would have been a bust for the Bills, and that memory would fade...now its lingering

Maybin mentioned on Sirius NFL Radio 2 minute drill

The brief mention at the end of the news blurb stated, "Bills have discussed moving rookie Aaron Maybin to outside linebacker if they feel he is too light to play defensive end"

I am sorry there is no link, but if you listen to Sirius NFL radio you might hear it again.

It sort of came out of nowhere, and seems very curious. With buffalobills.com usually "down" over the weekend, I can't find anything there or anywhere else?

Thoughts? I know Maybin can run a 4.6 timed speed at his more natural 240lb weight, and certainly has quickness, and while he was projected as a possible 3-4 OLB, how would that translate to the 4-3? As well, what are the thoughts of him developing into that position over the season and does anyone think that Maybin has already been preparing for a switch to LB with or without the Bills coaching staff in the mix? Another connection to this line of thinking could be his connections to LBs, Shawn Merriman, Ray Lewis, and Lavar Arrington?

I will say that while I am skeptical about his effectiveness at LB, because I am not knowledgeable enough on Maybin's game or the specifics of such a transition, if it were to work it would certainly shore up the OLB position. However....I would be very disappointed with losing a DE prospect...unless they really plan on moving him around a lot. Could he be a Shawn Merriman, or just some guy we keep waiting to achieve?

QB of Sin City -- JP Losman

QB of Sin City -- JP Losman

"Losman is still an interesting player with a lot of ability.

He struggled with inconsistency in Buffalo but also had to work magic behind a shady offensive line, and—outside of Lee Evans—he never really had many weapons at his disposal.

The UFL will be his stage to show the NFL what they're missing out on."

I can't wait
