kota Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 He was decent in Pittsburg prior to getting injuried. the injury led to his release. Lets hope he can step in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I have heard of him ........whether he has anything left in the tank I guess we'll find out. We had to sign a few bodies to even field a line. Bring in a few more........ hard to imagine they could be much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRW Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Anyone available at this point in the season is going to have serious question marks, but if he is even a shadow of his former self this is a good pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanCity Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Was waiting for some OL moves. Fingers are crossed. Jamon Meredith wasn't expected to perform, but I am actually surprised. He has not played that bad in his role for a guy who couldn't make it on the craptastic line in Green Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 That was only 8 months too late. We should have signed this guy when FA began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quikchomp Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 It's good news, I'm pleased, hoping for at least one more signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFinkle Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Anyone available at this point in the season is going to have serious question marks, but if he is even a shadow of his former self this is a good pickup. Simmons did sign a 3 year deal with the Pats in early September and was just released a week or 2 ago. At least he is in football shape...beyond that, who knows.

CherryCoke Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 That was only 8 months too late. We should have signed this guy when FA began. No way, he would have been injured and on IR by now if we signed in back then We preserved him for our run at the wildcard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dib Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 maybe we can get the opposing defensive line to count: "One mississippi, two mississippi................" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog69 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I am glad the Bills signed someone, and I am hopeful that Simmons can return to his previoius form. But, I have a hard time believing that the Pats* would have cut him a few weeks ago if he could play right now. NE* has had some injuries on their line and would definitely have kept Simmons if he was able to play. I have a feeling he is damaged goods right now. Hopefully I am wrong. If he can play, this is a great pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mob16151 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 He's better than Gaddis or Hennessey(sp?) so I approve. Any decent lineman in the UFL that could be available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewildrabbit Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 It just amazes me how inept this front office and coaching staff is...what a team of galacticly impaired bozo's. How Ralph Wilson tolerates these idiots I'll never understand. This team has had a revolving door at LT since week 2, even starting a practice squad player from another team and they never addressed even trying to sign a replacement tackle worth a damn. From what I've read Levi Jones is started and playing well for the Redskins. Now this past week another team has brought in Jon Runyan, the Chargers. Now after every decent FA tackle has been signed and a guard gets injured they finally sign a freaking guard after moving the starting guard Levitre to tackle. For whatever reason this staff failed to find a replacement for Jason Peters in the draft, free agency and now that is coming back to bite them in the azz. They cut the starting right tackle because after they moved him to left tackle he couldn't get to the line fast enough to run the "no huddle" ...which has since been scrapped. That fact that the front office refused to pay Jason Peters 2 years ago has kept this team from having decent play from their O line for going on 3 years now.Just think if they had upped Peters pay with a one million dollar bonus just for making the pro bowl instead of stonewalling the guy, oh yea, it pays to be cheap. I just don't get how you let a near billion dollar franchise run itself into the ground like this, is the owner just watching out a window somewhere ...looking at the squirrels run around in the trees?

Bufcomments Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 That was only 8 months too late. We should have signed this guy when FA began. You can thank Jauron for that. I would have taken a proven vet over the rookie anyday. If healthy the line could have been ,and this is my lineup.. LT Levetre, LG Simmons C Hangy, RG Wood, RT Bulter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
