Rotoworld- Poz and Kawika

Rotoworld wrote that there are five linebackers poised for breakout fantasy football numbers next season. Two are from our very own Bills, unfortunately he also says that this is likely because our defense will be on the field - a lot.

Sports - As I See It - Hardy Apology Falls Short of the Mark

WGRZ's Ed Kilgore brings back to life the story that won't die - James Hardy's allegedly pulling a gun on his father during an argument last week.

Is it just me, or is Kilgore being a bit harsh here? To liken a young man to Roger Clemens for a "crime" that remains alleged, uncharged and won't be pursued by any legal force strikes me as rather absurd. You make the call, folks.

See other forms of this story here and here.

Brian Moorman's Success Story

Very nice story on Moorman and his rise to punter stardom, as well as his off the field endeavors. Gotta love Moorman for all he does for the Buffalo community.

Good Steve Johnson interview

Kid talks exactly like Marshawn, haha. Solid.

I really hope he makes the team and has an impact this season.

The team statement confirmed that the Bills have spoken with Hardy about the alleged incident, in which Hardy was accused of brandishing a licensed firearm. The statement reads as follows.

"We have spoken to law enforcement officials and they have informed us that they looked into this and have no plans to pursue the matter any further. We also spoke to James last night and will continue to speak with him today, but indications are that this matter has been resolved."

Bills release Kevin Everett

Nice work by the Bills and kudos to them for all the investigative work they did for KE He can now pursue disability benefits, which he would have been ineligible for had he remained a Bill. He also qualifies for full pension benefits, due to his 3 years of NFL service, which is good to know.

2. I think mid-May is the right time to start jotting down potential playoff teams for an upcoming season, right after free agency, the draft and rookie minicamps. It's a fun time to search for a potential playoff shocker.

As of right now, I believe the Buffalo Bills will be the surprise postseason team in the AFC.

Trent Edwards has experience under his belt. Marshawn Lynch is a budding star. The offensive line is very strong. The defense is supremely coached under the vastly underrated Dick Jauron. The special teams are incredibly strong.

And I think Buffalo, in relatively quiet fashion, cleaned up this offseason. The Bills had needs at cornerback, linebacker, defensive tackle and wide receiver. They filled them all.

Jauron was borderline giddy when I talked to the Buffalo coach after the Bills smartly plucked cornerback/return specialist Leodis McKelvin in the first round. He will make an immediate impact in both phases. Trading for defensive tackle Marcus Stroud was the savviest deal of the offseason. Stroud, teamed with John McCargo inside and Chris Kelsay and Aaron Schobel on the outside, will form a dominant defensive line. While Buffalo overpaid for Kawika Mitchell, he is an upgrade at linebacker. And Paul Posluszny is back at linebacker, returning from his injury that curtailed his rookie season. Plus, Jauron and the Bills stole James Hardy in Round 2. The tall receiver with fly-paper hands has a great knack for scoring touchdowns and compliments Lee Evans incredibly well.

ESPN - From draft day to rookie camp, small-town player gets his chance - NFL

Apologies, folks, but my first final is tonight and I've been busy all day preparing for it. However, I'm looking at a free weekend (for the most part), so I promise I'll have something substantial up tomorrow morning.

For now, here is an ESPN.com article covering the draft weekend and rookie camp experiences of rookie Bills RB Xavier Omon. It's a fantastic read, and should hold you over for the rest of the afternoon. See y'all back here tomorrow morning!

Walsh’s tapes show that the Patriots recorded the signals of offensive and defensive coaches in regular-season games against the Miami Dolphins, the Buffalo Bills, the Cleveland Browns and the San Diego Chargers and against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2002 American Football Conference championship game. In that game, the tape has been edited to show Steelers coaches signaling plays, followed by two different camera angles of the actual plays that were called.

The New York Times reports that Walsh handed over eight tapes in total. There was no evidence that the Patriots taped the Rams walk through practice before the Super Bowl.
