A Game of Inches | Cheese's Buffalo Bills Franchise

[cheese2121]

Who the hell is Russ Grimm?

He's the assistant head coach in Arizona right now. He was like an all pro lineman for the Redskins way back in the day and from what I've read/researched is one of the coordinators considered to be head coach material. There was a big deal about him back when Cowher retired because one the of the news sources accidently announced him as the new head coach of the steelers when in fact he was just a candidate. He ended up moving with Ken Wisenhunt after that.

Awesome hire in Grimm. He'll be a great NFL head coach when he gets his shot. Tough, disciplined, overall a great coach.

Thanks for checking in man! Yeah, I am really excited about Grimm. I think he will bring toughness and a winning attitude that we have really been missing.

Home run hire with Grimm IMO. I also like Philly going out and getting Rob Ryan.

Terrell Owens Among those Waived in Buffalo

After one season in Buffalo, Terrell Owens (89) will once again be looking for a new home. ​

Bills | Owens not re-sgined
After a disappointing season where he caught only 32 passes for 500 yards and 5 touchdowns, the Terrell Owens experiment is over in Buffalo.

"Owens said that he wanted to be on a team that was ready to win now. Unfortunately he and I disagree on the state of the Bills. We want players who believe in our program. We wish him the best elsewhere." - Head Coach Russ Grimm

Bills | Pro bowler McGee inked to five year deal
Pro Bowl CB Terrence Mcgee (82) signed a five year deal worth close to $40 million dollars with another $15.75 million in bonuses. McGee led the team in interceptions last season on his way to a pro bowl appearance.

Bills | Cantwell back for one more year
QB Hunter Cantwell (57) agreed to a one year deal worth around $1.11 million and is expected to compete for the team's starting quarterback position.

Bills | Ellison resigns
Starting OLB Keith Ellison (71) signed a five year deal worth a little over $6 million with $2.5 million guaranteed.

Bills | Release 14 into Free Agency (Bold indicates they were starters)
The following Bills players were released into the free agency pool: WR Josh Reed (77), FS Ko Simpson (71), MLB John DiGiorgio (71), FB Corey McIntyre (70), RT Kirk Chambers (69), HB Rudi Johnson (69), RG Seth McKinney (69), LE Ryan Denney (68), RT Jonathan Scott (66), SS John Wendling (63), ROLB Jon Corto (61), C Marvin Phillip (61), WR Kenny McKinley (59), LT Demetrius Bell (53)

**Editors Note: In accordance with franchise rules since none of the three re-signings were worth the top ten at their respective position, the first three days of free agency must be skipped

 

[Mit]

Just curious, but how were you able to get a screenshot of Terrell Owens?

 

[cheese2121]

I take screenshots for all my games during the regular season but I only end up using one per game for my writeups so I have a bunch leftover so I just used one of those. Or are you asking how I do my in game screenshots just in general?

I'm wondering how you do your in game screenshots. I know how to get video of plays, but I never figured out how to take screenshots.

I really don't do anything special. I don't have a video capture card or anything so all I am doing is going to instant replay and taking a picture of my tv screen with my digital camera. The quality actually turns out pretty nice and its worked great for me so far. Hope this helps man.

 

[cheese2121]

This chise is fail now. You let go of teh T.O.! You should of threw him the ball more.

Just playin Cheese. :yahootongue:

Hahaha I just couldn't justify keeping him with the kind of money he wanted. Also I knew I was going to only get about one more year out of him and he went down in progression (his speed dropped to mid 80's). Plus I feel like I have a true number one in Lee Evans and his speed is just too deadly not to use. And let's be honest my quarterbacks have enough problems without TO haha
