JOHNNYFAIRPLAY Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 ^ This ^ 8-time probowler at a "technical" position....and last i checked, we have a punching bag LT.. I think he's worth signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't sign him he has a great year for another team. If he comes here he's a bust, luck of the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVUFootball29 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I think Nix and Co. believe we are set at Center with Hangartner and the young guys brought in. As for Mawae, I wouldn't mind him coming in, but he's 40 and nothing more than a stop gap for a season or two. From the looks of things, Nix has no interest in patchworking a line, but building from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why you're not a GM. Great player/career. But nothing left, time and age have taken their toll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanM.D. Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 He's the NFLPA leader..it's a CBA retaliation issue that's a factor IMO. Mawae's opinion as well. He essentially called it collusion a week ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 8-time probowler, proven guy at a position we desperately need. Does this make sense to anyone else? On top of the reasons expressed by others, I disagree that center is a "position we desperately need." The team is rebuilding, a 39-year-old center doesn't fit the roster. Hangartner and/or Wood will man the position and grow with the team. If we're going to consider a free agent offensive lineman, it has to be a left offensive tackle. Now THAT is a position we desperately need, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let him stop that for a year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then when he retires we either hire another stop gap or go back to the drawing board and develop a center. That my friend is the cycle of mediocrity that Nix is trying to stop.

That my friend, is called upgrading your roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That my friend, is called upgrading your roster. If he was the key to the playoffs or Super Bowl then yes you take him. I don't see Center as being the final piece to the puzzle to get this team over .500. Personally, I think Hangartner did a good job with two rookie guards next to him and both we adjusting to new positions from college. Looking at this list, Mawae doesn't seem to offer any major upgrade over Hangartner. http://profootballfocus.com/by_position.ph...&numgames=1 Is Mawae a Pro Bowler? yeah, but so were Jason Peters and Travis Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
