Bills Notes: Poz, Trent and Schobel Edition

This is what we're forced to do when the Buffalo Bills are heading toward a bye week: link dump posts.  This isn't your ordinary link dump, however; we've actually got some fascinating and interesting stuff to pass your way this afternoon.  On to the Bills news!

Brlogo_medium   I know that there are a ton of Paul Posluszny fans out there - I'm admittedly and unashamedly one of them - and, as such, I thought it prudent to ask you to check out Poz's brand new website!  Poz writes a journal each week, answers your questions and has some great stuff in his online store!  Be sure to sign up on his site so you can get up to date information on upcoming autograph signings involving Poz, the next of which takes place on November 15.

Brlogo_medium   Speaking of brand new websites, the Bills themselves have rolled out a shiny new BuffaloBills.com.  Obviously I'm a bit biased, but boy, do I think that structure is an improvement.  The home ship looks fantastic.

Brlogo_medium   Yes, QB Trent Edwards has started missing practices as he recovers from his concussion.  Langston Walker, however, gives us some great perspective as to how the quarterback is doing:

"He was a little woozy but his hair was perfect," tackle Langston Walker said of his conversation with Edwards. "That’s one thing. If Trent’s hair was off, I’d be worried. But his hair was on point."

Brlogo_medium   Meanwhile, Sal Maiorana of the Democrat and Chronicle very astutely points out that J.P. Losman isn't completely at fault for the team's offensive struggles in Arizona.  Maiorana is right - the offense has been good, but it needs to be better.

Brlogo_medium   Aaron Schobel made his "it's about more than just sacks" speech again yesterday.  I've defended Schobel in the past and still believe he's an excellent player, but come on, Aaron - you just got handled by Mike Gandy.  Mike. Gandy.  That's not going to fly.

Brlogo_medium   If you're looking for some good non-Bills reading this afternoon, Stampede Blue has you covered.  BigBlueShoe, SB Nation's Colts blogger, recently held an in-depth conversation with former NFL offensive lineman Tony Mandarich.  It's a high-quality read about a pretty interesting former player; transcript is here if you're interested.

good stuff Brian, but question

thanks for the links (especially the poz one I too, as my name demonstrates, am a huge Poz fan). But question Brian: didn’t Schobel get injured in the Rams game and didn’t he play on that injury in the Cardinals game? I keep reading that he is nursing an ankle injury? If you could clear up what his injury situation is that would really be helpful or if you know the details.

Strained ligament in his left foot. Likely won’t practice much during the bye week, but shouldn’t miss any game time. Link.

I like the new BB.com. I’ll have to fish around for any new features there too.

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m very concerned about Trent being ready for next week. I saw on the NFL Network last night that he was still experiencing post-concussion symptoms, along with getting sent home early yesterday. That is definitely not a good sign. I really hope he’s feeling better this weekend, or I doubt we see him practice next week and play against SD. And if that’s the case, we aren’t winning w/Losman.

I see more and more people are coming around on the ineptitude of our pass rush. It’s been more than just a few games, it’s been multiple seasons. I’ll say it again, can’t win consistently without a pass rush. Looks like Fewell needs to dial up A LOT more blitzes, though if it’s not in the gameplan, we might not see them….

I like the new BB.com

but there’s an awkward amount of dead space above the banner graphic. The gray stretchmarks just isn’t doing it for me. It would be nice if they actually used the word Buffalo somewhere on there though besides the address and title.

Poz’s site is nice but how come his store is powered by a NJ shop that is part of the Steeler’s fan network. Tsk, tsk, tsk. And what is up with this shirt? I can’t believe he signed off on that.

Besides, this one is much better.

Dead space

That awkward dead space appears to be an ad for NFL Gameday. Perhapr you have your pop-up or Ad blocker turned on. It also says “Test” up there so maybe that will be ads from the NFL or something. Just a thought.
