Whaley: Keeping Searcy won't be easyPosted by on February 19, 2015 – 4:10 pm
The Bills would like to keep all of their unrestricted free agents, but some might be easier to return to the fold than others. Such might prove to be the case with S Da'Norris Searcy.
Searcy is coming off a very successful season as he assumed a starting safety role opposite Aaron Williams and was very productive. But if Searcy is looking to cash in big time on his second contract, like most NFL players, it could prove too steep for the Bills to handle.
"Searcy is going to be a little challenging with Searcy just because we have paid Aaron Williams and there's some money tied up in that position," said GM Doug Whaley. "Searcy may probably garner starter money at safety. That's going to be a little more challenging trying to get that done just because of the cap space dedicated to that position."
Fortunately for the Bills if they can't come to an agreement with Searcy they have depth at the position with Duke Williams, Baccari Rambo and Jonathan Meeks still on the roster.
"If he does move on we think we've got three guys that will compete and one of those guys is going to come out of there as the starter, but we have two excellent backups," said Whaley.
On locker clean out day Searcy said as much as he'd like to return he has to put the needs of his family first. We'll see how things pan out soon enough with free agency set to open in just over a couple of weeks.

Virtue of patience with a young QBPosted by on February 19, 2015 – 12:54 pm
The Dallas Cowboys were an organization that was very patient with Tony Romo as a young signal caller. Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett was asked about how important that patience is for an NFL team even though the temptation can be great to pull the plug.
"I would argue that playing quarterback in the National Football League is probably as hard a thing as there is in sports," said Garrett, a former quarterback himself. "The environment that you create for that quarterback is critical to his success – the system he's in, the people he has blocking for him, how you're playing defense, the weapons he has around him, how you call plays – all those things contribute to that. You want to have a guy who wants to be great, you want to have a guy who wants to be in that position.
"It's a hard job. It really is, to be one of these 32 guys who start for an NFL team. You have to have the right makeup, the right character, and if you try to create that environment for him and he goes about it the right way, you have a chance to be patient for him and have the kind of quarterback that you want."
Bills GM Doug Whaley has said he continues to believe in what EJ Manuel can be as an NFL quarterback, and though he will likely be part of a quarterback competition this offseason, patience could be rewarded.

Whaley weighs in on where OL standsPosted by on January 23, 2015 – 1:45 pm
In an appearance on the John Murphy Show this week in Mobile at the Senior Bowl, Bills GM Doug Whaley was asked whether the interior of Buffalo's offensive line was a priority to address this offseason.
Whaley has stated previously that they're going to take a long look at their offensive line this offseason, but he also did not want to dismiss some of the talent they already have in house.
"Some would say that (it's a priority), but we're thinking when you get Chris Williams back from injury and another year with (Cyril) Richardson in there and get him more time in there and (Cyrus) Kouandjio played a little guard in there during the season in the practices," Whaley said. "We think there are some guys there who can compete, but that's not to say we won't bring in other guys to add to the fold."
With Erik Pears a free agent and youth on the roster in the form of Kouandjio and Richardson it wouldn't be surprising if a veteran free agent guard was added to Buffalo's ranks.

Whaley undaunted by no 1st rd. pickPosted by on January 22, 2015 – 1:10 pm
Bills GM Doug Whaley is well aware that there are fewer draft picks in his arsenal this spring for the 2015 NFL draft. With no first-round pick and no fourth-round pick, Buffalo has just six total (2 in the 5th). But Whaley and his scouting staff like the challenge of having to find players when they don't have a premium pick.
"It's exciting. It's a challenging time and everybody that knows me knows I'm not afraid of a challenge," Whaley told Buffalobills.com. "Our scouting staff feels the same way. Unfortunately we've been drafting high recently and that's a little easier than drafting lower. We want to get to that point where we're drafting low consistently so that for us is a challenge and we're up for the challenge and excited about it."
Buffalo gave their original fourth-round pick with their first rounder in the Sammy Watkins trade. They got a fourth back in the Stevie Johnson trade, but then shipped that to Philadelphia for Bryce Brown. They did acquire a second fifth-round pick from Tampa in a day three trade last year.
"We also look at it this way, we think Bryce Brown is worth a fourth-round pick," Whaley said on the John Murphy Show. "Any back we get in the fourth round would be just like Bryce Brown. With Sammy Watkins people say we gave up two number ones. But to have a number one wide receiver for the next 10 years we would've have had to maybe draft two wide receivers to come up with that. So we think the value is there for both of those and we're excited about what we can accomplish."

Whaley on scouts meeting with RexPosted by on January 21, 2015 – 10:30 pm
Bills new head coach Rex Ryan met with the Bills personnel department in Mobile Tuesday evening. On Wednesday GM Doug Whaley provided an update on how things went in an interview on the John Murphy Show live in Mobile.
Whaley wanted the head coach to meet his scouts to help explain the type of players he needs for his team to be the best it can be. But Ryan made it very easy for Buffalo's college scouts.
"He just said, 'Get me people that love football and that are playmakers,'" said Whaley. "So that opens up the whole board for us and gets us really excited so we don't have restrictions on the type of guys that we're looking for."
Whaley said Ryan's personality is infectious and had the scouting department fired up when the meeting was over.
"No doubt about it. It's contagious," said Whaley of Ryan's demeanor. "He's got a personality that people gravitate to and you want to work for him and want him to succeed. For him to succeed he lays out the ground work and they're easy to work with, like I said before, guys that love football and guys that can make plays. He doesn't want to say, 'Hey I want a specific guy, a 6-5 guy that runs 4.6.' He said, 'That's great everybody wants that guy, but find me good football players.'"

Rex comments on Jerry HughesPosted by on January 20, 2015 – 9:16 am
Bills new head coach Rex Ryan hasn't been shy at all about his excitement level for the defensive talent he inherits here in Buffalo. He also believes they'll keep an important part of that defensive puzzle on the roster.
Impending free agent Jerry Hughes is a player that GM Doug Whaley has already said they want to keep in a Bills uniform for the foreseeable future. In an interview with FOX Sports, Ryan said he intends to see that plan come to fruition.
"I absolutely envision that," said Ryan. "I think Jerry is an outstanding player. The last two years I've been against him and he's tremendous. I hope he's still a Buffalo Bill moving forward. Sometimes things happen where that might not be a possibility, but I believe he's a great player and I hope he's a Buffalo Bill for a long time."

Fan Friday 1-16Posted by on January 16, 2015 – 12:24 pm
It was a historical week for the Bills franchise with the hiring of Rex Ryan as the 18th head coach in team history. Now for your questions from email at firstname.lastname@example.com and on Twitter @ChrisBrownBills.
1 – Chris,
With the coming to an end what positions do you think need more depth for the offseason besides QB? Offensive line or maybe tight end or defensive end in case Hughes leaves? Can you also explain to fans that the Bills would have taken Eric Ebron, and trading up for Sammy wasn't as risky as many thought. This year's list of WRs isn't as deep.
CB: As for positional needs the guard spot is right up at the top. I think a big running back is another potential need for two reasons. First, it's unclear as to whether C.J. Spiller will return to the team with the ability to become a free agent this offseason. Second, a power run game is going to need a big back comparable to Frank Gore or Eddie Lacy. Buffalo has a big back in Boobie Dixon, but he was relegated to backup duty under offensive coordinator Greg Roman in San Francisco. Fred Jackson and Bryce Brown are capable, but it might be time to draft a young back to add to the mix. An end/OLB would be a need if Hughes doesn't return, but they can't wait on that.
As for last year's draft, it was my understanding that if the Bills stayed at nine that Eric Ebron was the most likely target, assuming the likes of Sammy Watkins was off the board.
2 – Hi Chris,
My name is Ben Cary, a dedicated bills fan from West Seneca studying at Miami University of Ohio. Are the Bills interested in pursuing Jay Cutler, now that the Bears might be shopping him? I think he could fix a lot of our quarterback issues. He has the raw talent to make the plays none of our recent QB's have been able to. I also think he would find success in our run first offense because he wouldn't be forced to throw the ball as much as Chicago made him. What are your thoughts?
Has Doug Whaley thought about this as well? I love the improvement we've made this year and can't wait to see what the future of the franchise holds!
Thanks so much
Ben Cary
CB: If the Bills are interested in pursuing Jay Cutler in a trade scenario they certainly can't state it publicly since he's property of the Bears. That could open the team up to tampering charges. While there's no debating that he is physically gifted as a quarterback there is a reason his second franchise is reportedly looking to move him.
I don't dismiss your point that a run first approach on offense could decrease some of the ill-advised plays Cutler tries to make. While talent is a big asset to have as a quarterback, leadership is a close second and that's where I think Cutler struggles as a player.
I can't tell you what Doug Whaley is thinking, but it's my belief that the Bills will look to add a veteran quarterback to the roster. Whether Cutler is under consideration remains to be seen.
3 – @ChrisBrownBills I see the two lineman the #bills have signed to futures deals are both under 300 lbs. Will this be the trend going forward? More athleticism at guard seems logical, right?
CB: Greg Roman's power run game is pretty multiple. That being said having guards who are capable of pulling is a plus. You also have to be able to push the pile so I don't know that a trend can be taken from the two most recent OL signings.
4 – @ChrisBrownBills do u believe Whaley that he would take a QB in the 2nd or 3rd if the right one was available? Petty or Hundley. #bills
CB: I think Whaley in that radio interview this week was just trying to emphasize the fact that they do not rule anything out with every draft pick they hold. If a quarterback is the best player on the board, and there isn't a pressing positional need with a prospect that is comparable in terms of grade to said quarterback, then they'll take a QB. Knowing this is his approach he cannot rule out taking a QB. In reality I see the Bills adding a veteran quarterback this offseason.
5 – Hi Chris,
What is a typical NFL halftime like for a team? Does the head coach address the full team the entire time? Do position groups meet? Are the discussions strategic or motivational? Thanks
CB: At halftime there isn't a whole lot of time. With the coaches from the booth taking an extra five minutes to get down to the locker room, there's only about 7-8 minutes to go over things. The head coach will briefly huddle with the coordinators before making decisions on various adjustments for the second half. In most cases the teams breaks off into offensive and defensive groups with their coordinators. They address what has to be corrected and then what some of the adjustments will be. After plotting out strategy the head coach or a team captain might say a few inspirational words and it's back out to the field.

Bills will try to bring Spiller backPosted by on January 15, 2015 – 2:50 pm
Bills new head coach Rex Ryan expressed a desire to get C.J. Spiller back in the fold, knowing he can become a free agent this offseason. On Thursday GM Doug Whaley echoed that sentiment.
In an appearance on Bills flagship station WGR Sportsradio 550, Whaley was asked if he sees a place for Spiller in an offense that's likely to be predicated on a power running game.
"We believe so and we're going to try to do our darndest to get this guy in the fold and get him back," said Whaley. "I'm sure he's disappointed with how last year went with the injuries, but we want him to come back with us and get back to the form we know he can play at."
In his one-on-one interview with Buffalobills.com, Ryan spoke of the friendship he's developed with Spiller from their run-ins at Clemson, Spiller's alma mater, where Ryan's son currently plays football.
"I've met C.J. and obviously I have a great deal of respect for him having to try to stop him and things," said Ryan. "One thing I think that he's going to understand about me is I'm going to tell him what I believe to be the truth. All players seem to appreciate that."

Jerry Hughes updatePosted by on January 15, 2015 – 2:37 pm
The Bills have an important impending free agent that they'd like to keep in the fold in DE Jerry Hughes. GM Doug Whaley in an interview on Bills flagship station WGR Sportsradio 550 confirmed that the club has opened talks with Hughes on a new contract.
Whaley didn't have a lot of details, since he had been wrapped up in the intense two-week process of finding a head coach.
"We've been so consumed with this coaching search that I haven't been able to talk to (Senior VP of Administration Jim Overdorf) to find out where we stand there and once Rex finishes his staff then we'll turn our attention to that. But I know Jim has been in touch with his representatives and started the process."
Whaley intends to get an update on where things stand soon, to see if it's possible to re-sign him and not let him hit the free agent market.
"We're excited and we want him back," said Whaley of Hughes. "He's a great part of our defense and hopefully we can get it done sooner rather than later."
When asked if the hiring of Rex Ryan as head coach improves the chances of re-signing Hughes, Whaley could only be hopeful.
"You'd have to ask him," said Whaley. "I hope he'd be just as excited as we are and the Bills fans are."

Whaley on what makes Roman's 'O' effectivePosted by on January 15, 2015 – 2:30 pm
He hasn't watched a full season of 49er games, but he's seen enough to be impressed with what Bills new offensive coordinator Greg Roman does to make his offensive unit productive.
In an interview on Bills flagship station WGR Sportsradio 550, GM Doug Whaley outlined some of the principles of Roman's offense.
"A heavy emphasis on the run game, but he does it in so many different ways that you can't get a bead on him," Whaley said. "He'll use three backs, he'll use the pistol, he'll off set his backs. He's a multiple type attack running offense. That will give defenses fits. There are certain times if the back is off set to the right, 99 percent of the time he can only go to the left so he does some diversionary things with alignments and formations that makes it really intriguing and hard to get a bead on what he's trying to accomplish."
All those formations and pre-snap shifts and alignment changes might make it sound like a difficult offense to absorb and execute, but that's not how Whaley sees it.
"You would think that, but a lot of it is just concept based," Whaley said. "I haven't gotten into the nitty gritty of his playbook, but I know this much, he's not one of those guys who wants to be a mad scientist and make things so difficult that you have paralysis by analysis. It looks like to me when you watch the 49ers they don't make a lot of mistakes and they play hard and fast and that's a telling sign of guys being comfortable with what they're being asked to do."

Whaley's instant connection with RyanPosted by on January 15, 2015 – 2:25 pm
Bills owner Terry Pegula mentioned it in Wednesday's press conference. GM Doug Whaley cut his teeth in the league in the Pittsburgh organization, a club that identifies with strong, tough defense and a consistent, powerful run game. Rex Ryan comes from a similar mindset from the days of coaching under his father Buddy Ryan. It's why Whaley felt an instant connection with Ryan during the interview process.
Appearing in an interview on Bills flagship station WGR Sportsradio 550, Whaley explained how what Ryan laid out as his philosophy for successful football instantly appealed to him.
"It was just his philosophy about how to build a consistent team," said Whaley. "A team that can consistently compete for championships. It's just my philosophy as I've grown up in this business. It's a philosophy of playing good defense, running the ball and being aggressive. And that helps everything especially your quarterback. That's something that's been a mainstay in his philosophy since he started going all the way back to his father. So right there we had an instant connection."

Pegulas felt veteran coach was best fitPosted by on January 14, 2015 – 7:56 pm
Terry and Kim Pegula along with GM Doug Whaley and team President Russ Brandon went on a barnstorming tour to find a head coach. As they made their way through a dozen candidates it became clear what they felt they needed in a head coach for their team at this time.
"When we went through this process, we went into it open-minded," said Terry Pegula. "We interviewed some bright, young coaches and some veteran coaches and Doug and Russ obviously had been through this before a few years ago. Like I said, when we meet the right guy, you'll know it. When we finally talked to Rex and looked at that staff that he put together, I really don't think that the Buffalo Bills at 9-7, and I really believe two plays away from possibly being 11-5, needed to have a young coach standing in their locker room.
"I thought we needed to go to somebody who'd done it before and if you look at the record of almost every coach like Rex just mentioned it, new coaches fail generally in their first job and I'm not saying that all the new coaches that are going to get hired are going to fail, but it's more happening in that direction than it is for them to be successful.
"We just felt that he was our guy and trust me, we had some pretty impressive people that we felt could the Bills coach, but we said, 'Hey, let's go after Rex.' Russ told me, 'Don't let him out of the building.'"

With Ryan on board, hierarchy takes shapePosted by on January 14, 2015 – 3:12 pm
The Bills front office structure has undergone some change since the Pegulas came on board as the owners of the club. Now with Rex Ryan as head coach, Terry Pegula laid out how the flow of information will proceed between himself, his wife Kim and the highest ranking officials in the organization.
"Rex (Ryan), Russ (Brandon), and Doug (Whaley) will report to Kim and myself and that's the way we're going to have it moving forward," said Pegula. "I believe in everyone…I think I've said this in the past: my style of business is that no one should be afraid to say anything so we will welcome input from anybody; the coach, the GM, the President, myself, Kim and that's how we're going to move forward. You should never be afraid to say anything. I don't care if it's sports or other business."
Team President Russ Brandon further expounded on the duties and responsibilities held by the top three ranking executives under the Pegulas.
"When it comes to the 53 (man roster) and player personnel, that's under the purview of Doug Whaley," said Brandon. "The game-day roster and the coaching staff is obviously Coach Ryan and I will have business ops and administration ops and football administration budgets. But as Terry said earlier and as Coach said, it's not only one direction, it's one mindset and we'll be in lock-step in everything that we do as an organization."

Whaley: Encouraged but not satisfiedPosted by on December 29, 2014 – 5:03 pm
Bills GM Doug Whaley will presumably be meeting soon with team owners Terry and Kim Pegula to lay out what was positive and not so positive about the 2014 season for the club. Here's what he intends to tell them about his assessment of the year turned in by the team.
"Encouraged, not satisfied," said Whaley. "We took a step forward, but we obviously did not meet our stated goals. There were some good things that came out of the season and there are some things that we have to do better as a whole, as an organization and as a football team and as a personnel staff. Everybody has to strive to get better to get us where we want to go and that's the playoffs."

Starter at QB Sunday may have been differentPosted by on December 29, 2014 – 4:53 pm
Bills head coach Doug Marrone chose to go with Kyle Orton as his starting quarterback in the season finale at New England this past Sunday. In the wake of Orton's sudden retirement announcement Marrone admitted Monday had he known of Orton's plans beforehand it would've impacted his QB decision for the Patriots game.
"It would've impacted, on how to make a decision on who the best player was to play during that week," Marrone said. "And I would've had to put some thought into it if I had known prior to (the last game)."
Marrone said Orton came to his office first thing in the morning to inform him of his decision to end his playing career.
"I was hoping that Kyle would be with us," said Marrone of looking ahead to 2015.
When asked if it could be a setback for the position Marrone has the following response.
"It could be. I'm not going to sit here and deny that it's not going to be," he said. "We just have to see how it works out and what our plan is moving forward."

Fan Friday 11-21Posted by on November 21, 2014 – 9:01 pm
Despite some crazy logistics this week, here's Fan Friday with questions from email at firstname.lastname@example.com and on Twitter @ChrisBrownBills.
1 – Chris,
Over the past couple of years here are moves that GM Doug Whaley really "hit on";
(1) Trading ILB Kelvin Sheppard for DE Jerry Hughes = A+
(2) Drafting LB Kiko Alonso = A+
(3) Drafting WR Sammy Watkins = A+, price was pretty steep, but gives the Bills a legit #1 WR in awhile
(4) Drafting LB Preston Brown + A, this guy has been a very nice surprise on the defensive side of the ball
(5) Signing QB Kyle Orton = A+ ( I was writing to you back in July for the Bills to sign Orton, glad Coach Marrone finally switched Kyle Orton to #1 QB. I thought he should have a week sooner, if the Bills had, Bills beat Texans in Houston)
(6) Signing of free agent kicker Dan Carpenter, he's been clutch when kicks are needed the most.
Question: Since the Bills do not have a #1 draft pick in 2015 and RB Spiller is not going to command a large contract to resign, can't GM Doug Whaley take that $$$ and Resign DE Jerry Hughes and extend DT Marcel Dareus long-term ?
Bills really need to try and keep their defensive line together, they are the strength of the team. I think it was a mistake years ago when the Bills let Pat Williams and Ted Washington depart.
South FL
CB: I had a blog post on this very subject earlier this week when GM Doug Whaley addressed the future of both Hughes and Dareus this week on Bills flagship station WGR this week. Here's what Whaley said about Hughes and Dareus.
"Those guys are great players. We would love to have them, and those are the things we'll discuss at the end of the season, which we do every year," Whaley said. "We don't negotiate in the media, but they've brought tremendous production to our defensive line and helped to make our defense one of the best in the league and we're going to do whatever we can to keep them."
I believe the Bills know the defensive line is the linchpin of their defense and with the unit much improved against the run this season they'll make a strong effort to keep Hughes in the fold even though three of their highest paid players are their other three starting defensive linemen.
2 – Hi Chris,
Big Buffalo Bills fan here in Northern Ireland. Great job you and John Murphy do in covering the bills.
Couple of questions, how is EJ getting on and what do you think the future is at the qb position the bills this season and beyond this season?
Many thanks
CB: Thanks for the compliments. EJ is doing well. Head coach Doug Marrone last week acknowledged that he is making progress with his personal game. We covered some of what he's been working on since assuming the backup role.
As for the future at the position there are some moving parts there. Orton has a player option for next year in his deal with Buffalo. Manuel is obviously still under contract.
It's my belief that the last six games will have a lot to do with the direction the team takes at that position. I realize that a good number of outside observers are of the opinion that EJ Manuel's career is over with Buffalo. I don't share that opinion.
He still has yet to have a full regular season worth of starts in his time with the Bills (14 starts) and it's my contention that kicking dirt on him is premature regardless of what his statistics say.
3 – Hello Chris,
Thanks for all of the info and insight every week. I am a long time follower but this is my first time writing in. My question is in regards to Mike Williams and all of the Fan unrest in his lack of playing time. I too feel that he has been grossly underutilized. I think a good solution would be to give him reps at tight end in a two tight end formation. We have all witnessed his toughness and willingness to "bang heads" not to mention some good down field blocking.
This could create some real matchup nightmares with the opposition. It would force the defense to cover with a safety because a linebacker couldn't cover him and it would open up Sammy and company as well. Do you think it could work or is he too"small" for TE? And has anyone at OBD tinkered with this? I would think they would want their big play makers on the field as much as possible. Just a thought. Thanks again!
Greg T.
CB: I believe there is merit to those fans who contend that Mike Williams is talented enough to help this offense, especially in the red zone where the team has struggled of late. Williams was targeted once in the Miami game in the red zone, but the pass was broken up.
Even if they favor receivers like Chris Hogan over Williams between the 20s to get them down the field, and Hogan performed well against Miami, you can certainly make the argument that Williams can help this team score touchdowns in the red zone. Eighteen of his 23 touchdowns scored with Tampa Bay early in his career were within 20 yards.
Hopefully what we saw in terms of his use against Miami only increases down the stretch. Making him a detached tight end is something I don't think I'd anticipate.
4 – Chris,
Can you tell us why the Bills have covered some mid-field, low level seats at RWS?
Thanks for your insights,
Mike Riggie
CB: The reason the first few rows have been tarped is because from a seated position it's impossible for fans to see over the players and coaches gathered on the sidelines and see the action on the field. As a result those fans in the past would stand, and that would force the fans behind them to stand creating a chain reaction. All the fans behind them would have to continually stand up to see the action every time the fans in the first few rows did so.
The solution was to cover those seats and not sell them to fans to eliminate the problem.
5 – Hey Chris ,
Just a quick hit . Seeing as the NFL is said to be a copycat league & the regime before this one at Buffalo & others in the NFL have some success with a 5 wide set how come this OC NEVER uses it ? Especially with the talent at the WR position …
Thanks Mr. T from Fort Myers via Nashville
CB: One of the most popular formations in the league right now is 11 personnel (1 RB, 1 TE, 3 WR). One of the reasons is it's one of the more unpredictable formations pre-snap. You can run or pass out of this formation in a variety of ways and a lot of offensive coordinators like that, which is why it's so prevalent.
It's Buffalo's most popular formation this season as well. Five wide basically says we're throwing, unless you've got Michael Vick at QB and you're running out of a spread set.
The most popular formation under the head coach that preceded Doug Marrone was four wide with one back.
Believe it or not the five wide look isn't as popular as you might think. Four wide is more popular. What's interesting is there were a couple of plays last week against the Dolphins where the Bills went five wide. I doubt it will increase in frequency in Buffalo's offense, but we'll see.

EJ production in practice encouragingPosted by on November 18, 2014 – 12:29 pm
A couple of weeks ago we provided an update on what EJ Manuel has been working on since he was replaced in the starting lineup by veteran QB Kyle Orton. On Tuesday in an appearance on Bills flagship station WGR Sportsradio 550 Bills GM Doug Whaley addressed where EJ Manuel's development stands now serving in the backup QB role.
Whaley was asked specifically if he felt it was a lost season for Manuel having only appeared in the first four games.
"We believe it's not. It goes back to our original plan," said Whaley. "When we first drafted EJ we had the plan of having a veteran quarterback come in and mentor him until we thought he was ready. When Kevin Kolb went down with an injury it thrust him into the starting role quicker than we expected. Now since then we have re-set to the original plan.
"Since EJ has taken a step back everybody in the building has been impressed with his work ethic. We've seen an improvement in the way he attacks practice and his production in practice."
Whaley also addressed the popular debate as to whether Manuel was 'Buddy Nix's pick' or 'Doug Whaley's pick' in the 2013 draft.
"We were all on board with the pick," he said. "It's one of those things when it's Buddy it's going to be attached to Buddy, just like Sammy (Watkins) is going to be tied to me. When you're going through a scouting process especially with the guys in the top four to five rounds you're going to have five to six opinions. What we do is we collectively come up with a Buffalo Bills opinion. So EJ Manuel is a Buffalo Bills pick and all of us were on board with it."
When asked how the Bills will know when EJ Manuel is ready for prime time again, Whaley said you don't for sure until they're in a real game environment.
"That's one of those things that you can never really gauge until the bright lights come on," he said. "What you do have to see is progress and not repeating the same mistakes that he was doing before and improving on anything he needed to when he was in the starting role."

Bills GM on future of Dareus, HughesPosted by on November 18, 2014 – 12:10 pm
Bills DE Jerry Hughes is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, while Marcell Dareus still has another year left on his contract, after the team picked up his fifth-year option. Appearing on Bills flagship station WGR Sportsradio 550, Bills GM Doug Whaley was asked if contract negotiations have been opened with Hughes.
Whaley as a matter of personal policy prefers not to have ongoing contract negotiations with players so as not to present a distraction. Buffalo's GM addressed both Hughes and Dareus.
"Those guys are great players. We would love to have them, and those are the things we'll discuss at the end of the season, which we do every year," he said. "We don't negotiate in the media, but they've brought tremendous production to our defensive line and helped to make our defense one of the best in the league and we're going to do whatever we can to keep them."
As for Dareus Whaley said it's been good to see Dareus mature through the course of the year.
"We look at it this way. There's a maturation process for a lot of players," said Whaley. "He's got a difficult situation with his support staff. He's done everything we've asked him to do this year. It's a situation we'll go over and review and set a plan going forward once the season is over with."

MILBURN Date: October 12, 2011 Contact Information: Captain Brent Shatto Ref: News Release 712-362-3515 Estherville, IA – In the wake of the recent death of the Estherville Police K-9, Max, the police department has decided to honor the fallen K-9 by replacing him with another police dog. Max died on October 5th, 2011 from a sudden onset of Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia. The disease attacked Max's red blood cells causing his internal organs to fail. The police department purchased Max with funds donated by businesses and individuals within Emmet County. Without the help of our community it would have been impossible to purchase Max and will be impossible to purchase another police K-9. This is the 13th year that the police department has had a K-9 on patrol. In three short years, Max assisted in the confiscation of $59,000 in illegal drugs, $3,500 in cash from suspected drug dealers, and two vehicle confiscations. Having a police K-9 has been great for our community. Estherville PD K-9 Officer, Matt Reineke, has been in contact with our police dog supplier, Cindy, at Brodie's K-9 Training Center. Cindy sent her regrets and sympathy in regards to Max's death. Cindy has agreed to give the Estherville Police Department a large discount toward the purchase of a new K-9. Officer Reineke has chosen a 15 month old yellow Labrador Retreiver, named "Max", that is currently in training with Cindy. The cost of a new K-9 officer will exceed $5,000. New "Max" will not be an apprehension type police dog. He will be trained and certified in narcotics detection, tracking of suspects or lost individuals, as well as article searches. The new K-9 will be utilized on the streets, Estherville Lincoln Central Schools, Iowa Lakes Community College, local businesses, public presentations, and available to the citizens upon request. The police department has had great success with the K-9 program and would like to ask the assistance of the public in raising funds to make the purchase of a new K-9. If you are willing or able to make a donation for the purchase of a new K-9 or have questions, Officer Reineke would be available to speak to you, your group or organization. Officer Reineke can be reached at 712-362-3515. If you would like to send a donation, you can mail them to: Estherville Police Department 114 North 6th Street Suite 1 Estherville, IA 51334 Attn: Matt Reineke ESTHERVILLE POLICE ASK FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IP: 188.8.131.52 Posted on October 6, 2011 at 03:13:46 PM by Webmaster ESTHERVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT CHIEF OF POLICE – ERIC J. MILBURN Date: October 6, 2011 Contact Information: Captain Brent Shatto Ref: News Release 712-362-3515 Estherville, IA - -The Estherville Police Department is asking for the assistance of the public in regards to being able to find your residence. The police department has noticed recently that there are a large number of houses and businesses that do not have address numbers affixed to the outside of the building. This makes it extremely difficult for emergency responders to find you. The Code of Ordinances for the City of Estherville 810-308 states; All buildings now or hereafter erected or fronting on any street shall have conspicuously placed on such buildings, the numbers provided by this chapter. 810-309 also says; the number plate placed upon any building shall be metal or wood or the number may be painted, and all numbers shall be placed on the front of the building, door post, transom, or other place, and said numbers shall be at least three (3) inches in height and so as to be easily seen from the street. The city ordinance goes on to say that if any person fails to comply with the ordinance, following a 10 day written notice, the city will place numbers on the premises and the cost thereof will be assessed against the taxes of the property owner. The intent of this article is to make property owners aware that there is an ordinance and that having a number on their property that Emergency Responders can find and read will make the response time much faster. Responders may not be able to find you if you do not have numbers on your house or your numbers are not readable. If you have any questions regarding this or any City of Estherville Ordinance, you can contact the police department at 712-362-3515 or email@example.com; or contact the City of Estherville Offices at 712- 362-7771, or you can find the Estherville Code of Ordinances online at cityofestherville.org and click the link for Administration and then you will find City Code on the left hand side of the page. ESTHERVILLE POLICE K-9 DIES IP: 18.104.22.168 Posted on October 6, 2011 at 02:49:38 PM by Webmaster ESTHERVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT CHIEF OF POLICE - ERIC J. MILBURN Date: October 6th 2011 Contact Information: Chief Eric Milburn Ref: News Release 712-362-3515 The Estherville Police Department said farewell far too soon to one of its own on Wednesday, Oct. 5 with the passing of Max, the 100 percent German shepherd officer, who was sworn in by Mayor Lyle Hevern on April 21, 2008. The trained K-9 was born in Czechoslovakia and trained at Brodie's Kennels in Tennessee. He and his handler, Estherville Police Officer Matt Reineke, underwent the final two weeks of training together before the 18-month- old dog moved into the Reineke home and joined the police force. "It was through the generosity of city residents as well as residents from all over Emmet County, including Armstrong and Ringsted, who donated the necessary funds for the purchase of Max at $8,500.00," said Estherville Police Chief Eric Milburn. In the three-plus years he was part of the force, Max helped in the confiscation of $59,000 worth of illegal drugs, two vehicles involved in illegal drug activity and $3,500 in cash also from apprehended suspects accused of drug dealing. Milburn said, "The head of the Iowa Great Lakes Drug Task force described our K-9 unit and his handler as a well-oiled professional canine team that possessed impressive and accurate narcotic detection skills." "Max also assisted in looking for missing persons and helped in the apprehension of hidden and fleeing suspects." Reineke added, "Max was a hardworking dog who never quit. He really loved his job." Milburn commented, "The reputation and work product provided by Officer Reineke and Max were well known throughout Northwest Iowa, amazing drug enforcement officers with their abilities and skill. When Matt and Max said yes, you knew it was there. When they said no, you could focus your investigation elsewhere, saving time and resources." Everything humanly possible was performed to save the canine that was suffering from Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia. Milburn said he was hospitalized for five days, had numerous IVs and endured two blood transfusions. "In the past week, he was attended by Dr. Arlyn Omtvedt and Dr. Lisa Dreeszen whose special care went above and beyond the call of duty. Max also spent a couple of days at the Veterinary Emergency Hospital in Sioux Falls. Everyone did everything possible to save Max but the complications from the disease were too severe." When Max joined the force, he was filling the K-9 position that was vacated by the retiring Cyber. The police department will begin considering whether to initiate a replacement process in the near future to fill this empty spot ESTHERVILLE POLICE CHARGE 19 IN DISORDERLY HOUSE IP: 22.214.171.124 Posted on September 26, 2011 at 07:30:59 PM by Webmaster ESTHERVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT CHIEF OF POLICE – ERIC J.

DRIVE SOBER OR GET PULLED OVER IP: 22.214.171.124 Posted on August 22, 2011 at 06:41:09 PM by Webmaster ESTHERVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT CHIEF OF POLICE - ERIC J. MILBURN Date: August 22, 2011 Contact Information: Capt. Brent Shatto Ref: News Release 712-362-3515 Iowa Law Enforcement Participates in National Drunk Driving Campaign: "DRIVE SOBER OR GET PULLED OVER" Estherville, IOWA - The Estherville Police Department and the Emmet County Sheriff's Department will join nearly 10,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide, August 25th-September 7th, in support of an intensive crackdown on impaired driving and other traffic offenses. The effort has been dubbed, "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over." Impaired driving is a serious problem. Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows the number of alcohol-impaired, driving fatalities in America fell from 2008 to 2009, but the fatality totals are still too high. In Iowa during 2009, there were 371 fatalities with 92 resulting from an alcohol related crash, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation. Nationwide 10,839 people died in crashes in which a driver or motorcycle rider was at or above the legal limit, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The age group with the highest percentage of alcohol-impaired-driving fatalities in motor vehicle traffic crashes was the 21-to-24 age group. "All too often, innocent, law-abiding people suffer tragic consequences and the loss of loved ones due to this careless disregard for human life. Because we're committed to ending the carnage, we're intensifying enforcement during the crackdown," advised Larry Sauer – Bureau Chief for the Iowa Governor's Traffic Safety Bureau. "Since twice as many alcohol-impaired crashes occur over the weekend, and four times as many occur at night, we will be especially vigilant during these high-risk times." Across the country, it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 grams per deciliter or higher. According to the latest data, nearly a third of fatalities in motor vehicle traffic crashes involved a driver or motorcycle rider with a BAC above the legal limit – an average of one fatality every 48 minutes. Law enforcement around the state will be aggressively looking for all impaired drivers and other traffic violators during the crackdown. During last year's special traffic enforcement period (sTEP), August 24–September 6, there were 7 fatalities, two of which were alcohol related. Also during the enforcement effort, nearly 35,500 traffic violations were reported by Iowa's law enforcement. If you have questions, concerns or want to report an impaired driver, call 911, or contact the police department at 712-362-3515 or the sheriff's department at 712-362-2639.

ESTHERVILLE SCHOOLS PARKING ENFORCEMENT DETAILS IP: 188.8.131.52 Posted on August 16, 2011 at 06:47:52 PM by Webmaster ESTHERVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT CHIEF OF POLICE – ERIC J. MILBURN Date: August 16, 2011 Contact Information: Chief Eric Milburn Ref: News Release 712-362-3515 The Estherville Lincoln Central School District begins the 2011/2012 school year on August 22nd for grades 9-12, and August 23rd for the remainder of the grades. As in years past, the Estherville Police Department will be enforcing traffic laws on the streets and roadways around the schools. In an effort to provide safe and efficient traffic flow around the schools, and to avoid issuance of traffic citations, the Estherville Police Department wishes to provide information on how to maneuver through these areas safely. Roosevelt Middle School buses stops are set up to discharge students in the rear, and on the north side of the school. Please avoid these areas. There is a drive through zone designated by yellow curb and signage on north 6th Street in front of the main doors. Please enter this zone from the north, pull parallel to the curb, and as far forward as possible to allow other drivers to enter the zone behind you. Discharge your passengers, look for oncoming traffic on 6th Street, and merge back onto 6th Street when it safe to do so. At the Middle School on the 1500 block of 1st Avenue South, students are discharged from the buses in a bus zone that is denoted by yellow curb, diagonal yellow stripes and curbside signs. There is no parking for vehicles other than buses in this zone from 07:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Just to the west of this bus zone is a loading zone designated by a white curb. This is the area for student discharge from personal vehicles. Please enter this zone from the west, again pulling as far forward so as to allow other drivers to enter the zone behind you. Discharge your passengers directly onto the sidewalk, look for traffic on 1st Avenue South, and merge back onto 1st Avenue South when safe to do so. Students may also be dropped off in Circle Drive parallel to the curb. Demoney is the most difficult area for traffic. Most parents walk their child into the building, so parking spaces are heavily used. There is a bus zone on the north side of the school, the south side of the high school parking lot. Please do not park in the bus zone. Allow sufficient time to maneuver through the Demoney area, and expect delays getting through this area. Finally, do not stop on the traveled portion of any street in the school zone and discharge any students. Stopping on the traveled portion prevents the efficient flow of motor vehicles, and it puts students on the street where they are exposed to the danger of vehicles in motion. Officers do not want to write a citation for the violation of stopping on the traveled portion in a school zone, however it is the only way way it can be efficiently addressed. The State of Iowa has placed a large scheduled fine on this violation, totaling $195.00. Stopping or parking in areas that are reserved for bus usage is a $15.00 parking ticket. Know the areas that are reserved for bus parking, and expect heavy traffic, and allow sufficient time to allow for this congested traffic. The Estherville Police Department would like to remind motorist that this is a very dangerous time as children will be crossing the streets while going to school and would like everyone to drive safely. If you have any questions about these or any other laws or ordinances, please contact the Estherville Police Department at 712-362-3515 or e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Officers were able to block the suspect in with the patrol vehicles and take the suspect into custody without further incident. Jarrod Jay Bandow, age 35, of Estherville was placed under arrest and transported to the Emmet County Jail. Bandow faces numerous traffic charges including, 3-counts of Reckless Driving, Careless Driving, 7-Stop Sign Violations, Failure to Prove Security Against Liability, Excessive Speed, Driving while License Suspended, Felony Eluding or Attempting to Elude a Law Enforcement Officer, Operation without Owners Consent, and Possession of a Controlled Substance (Marijuana) 2nd Offense.

ESTHERVILLE POLICE ARREST SUSPECT IN IDENTITY THEFT RING IP: 184.108.40.206 Posted on July 28, 2011 at 12:45:15 PM by Webmaster ESTHERVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT CHIEF OF POLICE – ERIC J. MILBURN Estherville, IA – On July 14th, 2011 the Estherville Police Department began an investigation into an identity theft ring that resulted in the arrest of a California woman. On Thursday, July 14th, Estherville police were dispatched to a local bank in regards to a possible identity theft. Officers were advised by bank employees that they had received an e-mail from an Algona, Iowa branch of their bank, that there were suspects in the area attempting to withdraw money from an account. The bank employees advised that the subject was believed to be using the account and identity of a customer. Estherville police officers asked the female suspect to accompany them to the law enforcement center for questioning. The suspect was identified as 58 year old LaRhonda Ann Moore-Bias of Los Angeles, California. Following the investigation, Moore-Bias was placed under arrest and placed in the Emmet County Jail. Moore-Bias was charged with 3 counts of Forgery, and 1 count of Identity Theft, all are Class D Felonies. Moore-Bias remains in the Emmet County Jail with a bond of $33,950. Moore-Bias is also wanted on arrest warrants in Cerro Gordo County for Identity Theft, Forgery, and 2nd Degree Theft with a total bond of $20,000 cash only. The investigation is continuing and includes the Mason City Police Department, Clear Lake Police Department, Portland Oregon Police Department, State of Oregon Attorney General's Office, State of Iowa Attorney General's Office, Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, and the LEIN Region 1 Fusion Center. "This is a major identity theft ring operating throughout the United States."

HOMEOWNERS BEWARE OF HOME REPAIR SCAMS IP: 18.104.22.168 Posted on June 30, 2011 at 04:06:00 PM by Webmaster Date: June 30, 2011 Contact Information: Captain Brent Shatto Ref: News Release 712-362-3515 For Immediate Release HOMEOWNERS BEWARE OF HOME REPAIR SCAMS Estherville, IA – The Estherville Police Department would like to caution home and business owners of a possible home repair scams. The police department has taken at least one complaint of an elderly person being taken advantage of by a group of individuals trimming trees. The scam artists generally target the elderly. Police advise to use caution when hiring contractors to do work for you at your home or business. A female victim hired a group of suspects to trim some trees for her. The workers charged a higher than normal amount for the work that was preformed. There have been numerous other reports of people being scammed. There are currently groups in the Estherville area that are doing sub par painting of buildings, overcharging for trimming trees, and doing sub–par driveway work. The Estherville Police Department would encourage people to hire only local area contractors or hire someone that you know. Traveling contractors are usually involved in some type of scam. There are also scams on the internet and telephone scams asking for personal information. There have also been phone scams of the elderly asking them for bail or bond money for a grandchild that is in another state. The police department would like to remind everyone that there is no such thing as free money. SPECIAL TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT PROJECT IP: 18.104.22.168 Posted on June 29, 2011 at 12:58:59 PM by Webmaster Date: June 28, 2011 Contact Information: Captain Brent Shatto Ref: News Release 712-362-3515 ESTHERVILLE POLICE AND EMMET COUNTY SHERIFF TO PARTICIPATE IN SPECIAL TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT PROJECT Special Traffic Enforcement Project July 1-4 Coinciding with the Independence Day holiday, The Estherville Police Department and the Emmet County Sheriff's Department as well as a host of Iowa law enforcement agencies will be out in full force July 1-4, 2011. Officers will work hard to crack down on alcohol or drug impaired drivers and other traffic violators to prevent crashes and save lives. Baseball games, fireworks, and parades can all be part of Iowans' July 4th celebrations. Unfortunately some people celebrate by consuming excess amounts of alcohol, and then electing to drink and drive, which can easily lead to tragedy. The Iowa Department of Transportation recorded five fatalities during the 2010 Fourth of July weekend, up from two in 2009. Iowa has been fortunate the past four years with no alcohol related crashes that resulted in a death. Iowa law enforcement continues to emphasize the importance of buckling up, driving the speed limit and obeying all traffic laws, not only during increased travel periods like holidays but, throughout the year. Iowa's safety belt law has been in effect for 25 years. There is no excuse for not buckling up. During a similar enforcement effort conducted in July of 2010, 214 agencies had contact with 353 alcohol/drug impaired drivers, 1,008 safety belt violators and 4,592 speed violators. In all, over 11,228 violations were recorded. In addition, officers assisted 965 motorists, investigated 366 crashes and apprehended 107 wanted persons. If you have any questions or would like to report a traffic offense, please call the Estherville Police Department at 712-362-3515 or the Emmet County Sheriff's Department at 712-362-2639. Webmaster | firstname.lastname@example.com | http://morpheweb.com/ ESTHERVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT CHIEF OF POLICE - ERIC J. MILBURN Date: May 24, 2011 Contact Information: Capt. Brent Shatto Ref: News Release 712-362-3515 ESTHERVILLE POLICE MAKE DRUG ARREST Estherville, Iowa – On Saturday May 21st, 2011 at approximately 1: 40 A. M., Estherville police officers stopped a motor vehicle for a traffic violation. While speaking with the driver of the vehicle, officers detected that the driver had been drinking. Following an investigation, officers took the driver into custody for an .02 Violation of the Iowa Drinking and Driving Law. Officers took 20 year old Austin Lindsay of Whitman, Massachusetts, into custody for the impaired driving violation and he was transported to the law enforcement center to submit to a breath test. Officers also impounded Lindsay's vehicle. During an inventory of the property in Linday's vehicle, officers found two bags of pills. The pills were determined to be prescription drugs possessed by Lindsay illegally. Lindsay was booked into the Emmet County Jail for Possession of a Controlled Substance, (Steroid), and Unlawful Possession of a Prescription Drug, (Adderall). Both crimes are serious misdemeanors. Lindsay was released later on Saturday on his own recognizance. Lindsay is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. An .02 Liquor Violation, applies to persons under the age of 21, and states that a person under the age of 21 can not have a blood alcohol level above .02 and operate a motor vehicle. The penalty for an .02 Violation is a suspension of driving privileges. Captain Brent Shatto would like to remind everyone that possession of another persons' prescription medication is illegal. All medications should be carried in the original pharmacy container or have some documentation that the medication belongs to you. If anyone has any information about any crimes please contact the Estherville Police Department at 712-362-3515 or by e-mail at email@example.com. 2011-05-24 16:59:14 - Estherville, Iowa Webmaster | firstname.lastname@example.com | http://morpheweb.com ESTHERVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT CHIEF OF POLICE – ERIC J. MILBURN Date: May 23, 2011 Contact Information: Capt. Brent Shatto Ref: News Release 712-362-3515 Estherville Police and Emmet County Sheriff's Department to Participate in Traffic Safety Initiative Estherville, Iowa – Beginning today May 23rd through June 5th, 2011, the Estherville Police Department and the Emmet County Sheriff's Department will participate in a traffic safety initiative to promote safe driving habits during the Memorial Day holiday weekend period. The departments will join law enforcement agencies across the nation in the 2011 National Click It or Ticket safety belt enforcement mobilization. During the mobilization, officers will be cracking down on motorists who fail to wear their safety belts – both day and night, as well as all other traffic infractions. Because nighttime passenger vehicle occupants are among those least likely to buckle up and most likely to die in crashes when unrestrained, nighttime enforcement has become a priority of the Click It or Ticket mobilization. In Iowa, of those who died in nighttime crashes in 2010, nearly two-thirds, or 62%, were not wearing safety belts at the time of their fatal crashes. Additionally, 50% of Iowa's traffic fatalities occur during the daytime when 88% of the motoring public is traveling. The remaining 50% occur at night when only 12% of motorists are on the road. Iowa law enforcement will be out en masse during the Click it or Ticket mobilization looking for violators. If an officer finds you on the road unbuckled anytime or anywhere, you can expect to get a $127 ticket — not a warning. No excuses and no exceptions. High-visibility enforcement like the Click It or Ticket mobilization is credited with increasing Iowa's belt usage rate from 75% in 1997 to an observed daytime usage rate of 93% in 2010. Belt use saves thousands of lives each year across America. According to the Iowa Department of Transportation's Life Toll program 6,458 lives have been saved wearing seat belts since the Iowa's safety belt law took effect in July, 1986. Also, as a reminder, May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness month and with the onset of nice weather, there is an increase in motorcycles on our roadways. Please be aware of their presence during this month and throughout the year. 2011-05-23 08:02:33 - Estherville, Iowa stellalynne | (hidden) | http://www.park-walk.co.uk Hi, Fantastic post.
