That’s because Chiefs second-round pick Jeff Allen has signed his four-year deal with Kansas City according to reports. Allen, an offensive tackle from Illinois went 44th overall, just three picks after Glenn. Add in the fact that Allen plays the same position (though he might play guard for KC) and his contract numbers can often aid other negotiations in the vicinity of Allen, like Glenn in round two.

Buffalo has just their top three draft choices left unsigned, as six were signed last week.

I asked Young about that play in our one-on-one interview with him, which went for 36-yards along with his two touchdown passes that helped keep the Titans playoff hopes alive and eliminated the Bills from playoff contention that season in a 30-29 victory. Young didn’t talk about the play much because he remembered the Titans bus getting egged by Bills fans more, but here is the only place you can find it since I couldn’t even find it on YouTube. It’s right at the 3:27 mark of our one-on-one interview. Enjoy.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
QB VINCE YOUNG
On how encouraging it is to know that Coach Gailey tailors the offense around a player’s best abilities:
“It shows you the great coach that he is. He understands his players. You’ve got to respect that. You want to be one of those guys that just sits there, learns, pays attention and keeps your mouth close. He knows what he’s doing. Just reading his history, he has a long beautiful history. At the same time he just missed a little bit short on not winning so I want myself or Fitz (Ryan Fitzpatrick) and Thig (Tyler Thigpen), that’s our whole goal. That’s our goal is to win that championship for him. Whatever it takes, whether it’s studying extra hours or whatever it is, getting the guys doing extra things, whatever it is, that’s what we want to do for him. He’s definitely worth that Super Bowl.”

Appearing on NFL Network this afternoon, Young was asked for his thoughts on the offense as a whole.

“We have a tremendous running back, two of the finest running backs,” said Young. “I feel you always need a one-two punch and we have some very talented receivers on the outside. I saw a lot of their games last year and I got a chance to watch them a little bit. I just know that [Ryan Fitzpatrick] or whoever is working the offense that they have a great opportunity and great chance to do some big things. I’m happy to be a part of this team as well.”

Down 29-20 in the fourth quarter Young rallied the Titans back to win 30-29. Part of that deficit was made up with a Young 29-yard touchdown pass. At the close of the first half he also had a 36-yard touchdown run. He finished the game 13-20 for 183 yards and a pair of TD passes along with his rushing score.

What Young remembers most about that game however, is how tough the fans were on him before, during and after the game.

“The biggest thing was the fans,” Young told Buffalobills.com. ”I remember our bus getting egged and thing s like that and it shows you what the atmosphere is here and how much the fans really love their team. I’m just happy to be a part of it now. There are some great guys on this team and great coaches. I’m ready to get in here and get to work and help out in any way I can.”

“I’ll be wearing number 10,” Young told Buffalobills.com.

Young has worn 10 for as long as he can remember in honor of his mother, who was born on June 10th. Young himself celebrates a birthday this Friday when he turns 29.

“What I was basically saying was the respect I had for the players,” said Young of his then Eagles teammates. ”Just like we have here I have a lot of respect for the players that are here. There were a lot of talented guys in Philly, but I definitely won’t make that comment again. It was definitely blown out of proportion. It was just out of respect for the players I was around in that locker room. It’s the same thing here from Mario (Williams) and other guys that used to chase me around. It’s a great thing to be on the same sideline as these guys so it’s a great opportunity to be here.”

“Not that I know of,” said Young. ”Right now I’m just learning the new terminology and just trying to get a lot of work in with Coach (David) Lee. The most that I can under the new rules that we have, that’s the biggest thing just trying to learn as much as I can right now.”

Polian’s name will be formally unveiled during a halftime ceremony on Oct. 21st when the Bills play host to the Tennessee Titans. He’s the 28th name to be added to the Bills Wall of Fame.

The game date selected makes sense. One of Polian’s sons, Dennis,  is an assistant to Titans head coach Mike Munchak.

“I was just talking with coach about this, it’s probably the best I have felt in three years,” Merriman said. ”The first time I got the chance to have full surgery on my Achilles and have a real off-season. I am looking for a big year.”

Merriman also explained how difficult the last three years have been not being able to perform like he knows he’s capable of playing.

“It’s been rough man. It was a rough process just going out there on the field and not knowing if I was going to be 100% or whether I am going to be able to play next week, practice next week,” he said. ”I dealt with that my last year in San Diego and my first full year when I got out here and that’s not the case or the scenario this year. I’ve been here every day for the past 3 or 4 weeks doing everything the team has been doing with the off-season workouts. It’s been good.”

Merriman was out on the west coast this past weekend attending funeral services for NFL 12-time Pro Bowl LB Junior Seau.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Head Coach Chan Gailey
On his first impression of DB Stephon Gilmore and the self-assuredness that he carries:
“Confidence is something that’s vital, especially at the cornerback position. It’s vital at some other spots, but it’s really vital at the cornerback position. He played well and did well in this camp. Now, when he goes against the other guys he’s going to lose some. How does he handle getting beat? He didn’t get beat a lot out here, so how does he handle that? He’s going to go through some emotions so that maturity and that confidence will help him I think. He’s played in a tough league. He knows what it’s about.”

“You know, confidence is something that’s vital especially at the cornerback position,” said head coach Chan Gailey. ”It’s vital at some other spots, but it’s really vital at the cornerback position. And he played well and did well in this camp. Now, when he goes against the other guys, he’s going to lose some. How does he handle getting beat? He didn’t get beat a lot out here, so how does he handle that? He’s going to go through some emotions so that maturity and that confidence will help him, I think. He’s played in a tough league, he knows what it’s about.”

“I always play with confidence,” Gilmore said. ”I always speak confidently. You can’t play corner unless you have confidence. So I think that comes with me and if I just keep learning the sky is the limit.”

We preface this list with the following clarifier. Polian was formally appointed GM of the club on Dec. 30, 1985, and was first hired on Aug. 2nd, 1984 as Pro Personnel Director, but he along with Director of College Scouting Norm Pollom were handling GM duties after Terry Bledsoe suffered a heart attack the February before the 1985 draft. So he certainly had a hand in the 1985 draft that included Bruce Smith and Andre Reed, but to attach full weight for those decisions to Polian might be misguided. As such we ‘ve put those player acquisitions a bit lower on the list than some might expect. But here are the best moves put together by the only six-time NFL Executive of the Year.

10 - Drafting Wil Wolford – Rd. 1 – 1986 – Wolford was the blind side protector needed for Buffalo’s offense to take a needed step forward.

9 - Drafting Howard Ballard – Rd. 11 – 1987 – The 11th rounder was two-time Pro Bowler and anchored the Bills right side.

8 - Claiming Steve Tasker off waivers - 1986 - Claiming Tasker gave Buffalo perhaps the best special teamer in the history of the NFL.

7 – Signing Kent Hull – 1986  – Polian signed Hull away from the folding USFL and had Jim Kelly’s security blanket for 10 seasons.

6 - Drafting Andre Reed – Rd. 4 – 1985 - Reed became the team’s all-time leading WR and likely Hall of Famer.

5 - Drafting Bruce Smith – Rd. 1 – 1985 - The all-time leader in sacks was a terror off the edge and linchpin of Buffalo’s Super Bowl defenses.

4 - Hiring Marv Levy – 1986 – Polian crossed paths with Levy in KC and the CFL and knew he could manage the club’s big personalities.

3 - Drafting Thurman Thomas – Rd. 2 – 1988 – The value in selecting the Hall of Fame RB is tough to beat as he was the engine of the 90′s offenses.

2 - Trading for Cornelius Bennett – 1987 – Called the trade of the decade by the NY Times, it was the most complicated and cunning moves of his tenure as Bills GM with three teams involved along with a former first-round pick in Greg Bell and Hall of Fame RB Eric Dickerson. More importantly it made the Buffalo front seven one of the most feared in football. 

1 - Getting Jim Kelly signed – 1986 – Kelly was more than staunch in his stance that he would not play for the Bills even with the USFL struggling to stay afloat. Polian’s unrelenting negotiating tactics eventually got the deal done and put Buffalo in a position to be a successful franchise for a decade.

Think we forgot a big move, draft choice or player acquisition? Feel free to make your suggestions.

Top pick Stephon Gilmore has been lining up at RCB this weekend.

Cordy Glenn has been lining up exclusively at LT.

T.J. Graham has been lining up mostly at flanker on the right side of the formation.

Nigel Bradham has lined up at both outside linebacker positions as had fifth-round pick Tank Carder.

Ron Brooks has played LCB for the majority of the weekend.

Zebrie Sanders has lined up at right tackle through the course of the practices.

Mark Asper has lined up primarily at center.

Ulanda Sanders organized family gatherings around Zebrie’s football games at Florida State and around draft weekend when Buffalo took Sanders in the fifth round.

“My mom was the one who introduced me to everything,” said Sanders, who was a boy scout and also played the viola in addition to his athletic pursuits. ”She wanted all of her kids to be active.”

“You try to see the effort that a guy gives. You want to see if a guy is a lazy guy or if he is a worker,” said Gailey. “But you also try to figure out if a guy retains what you teach him. Can he hold own from day one to day two? Can he add on to what he learned on day one on day two? They’re talented guys or they wouldn’t be here to start with. So they’ve got talent. It’s a matter of trying to evaluate really work ethic and retention.”

After giving his mom and dad a new home, which was completely paid off, Jackson had another surprise for his father.

“He also gave my husband a truck,” said Fred’s mother Latricia. ”The thing is when they gave us the house, my husband just kind of stood there in shock and then Fredrick said, ‘Come here dad.’ And we go out in front of the house and he said, ‘That’s your truck!’ You know when you see those people win a house and they go crazy, well that truck got my husband jumping up and down.”

To say that Jackson’s mom loves her new home would be an understatement.

“At work I have it as a screensaver,” she said. ”I show it to people when they come into the store. People say, ‘Oh my God why are you still working?’ I tell them because I want to. I was a stay-at-home mom for 14 years and I’m not ready to do that again.”

“Learn the playbook. I’m a perfectionist so I like to be perfect,” he said. ”I’m harder on myself more than anybody else. Learn the plays. I know I can run and do everything else so learning the plays would be the toughest thing so that’s my goal.”

Graham has been one of the more consistent wideouts in the rookie camp this weekend.
