sweatpantsjoe Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 He's gotta be a better option than Keith Ellison. And considering the Bills were so injured at this position last season and had to use a safety, adding another veteran for depth is a good idea.

grelit Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Why isn't he listed on the Roster yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Why isn't he listed on the Roster yet? They probably just haven't updated it on the website. He's signed and practicing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Why isn't he listed on the Roster yet? Because the back office of the BILLS is just as incompetent as the Front Office has been since Butler left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8-8 Forever? Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Here's Torbors pre draft writeup from SI; REGGIE TORBOR Reggie Torbor - DE Position: DE Class: Sr School: Auburn Conference: SEC Ht., Wt.: 6'2, 254 40 Time: 4.69 Grade: 3.76 Selected by New York Giants Round 4, pick 1 (97 overall) BIO: Two-year starter who posted numbers of 38/14/9.5 as a senior after junior totals of 26/8/3.5. Ran well at the Combine posting a pair of 40 times under 4.7 seconds. POSITIVES: Athletic pass rushing end who projects to linebacker at the next level. Quickly gets off the ball, breaks down well and rushes the edge with speed. Bends his knees, plays with leverage and rarely off his feet. Immediately adjusts off blocks, gets back to playing form and pursues from the backside. NEGATIVES: Overall game lacks suddenness. Seems tentative playing off the line of scrimmage. Not big and handled at the point of attack or easily ridden from pass rush angles. ANALYSIS: A fine athlete that makes a lot of plays in the offensive backfield, Torbor has the physical skills to be an outside linebacker in a conventional defense. Athletic abilities give him a nice upside for the next level. PROJECTION: Early Third Round Sounds good to me. George Edwards was his coach in Miami and the kid knows the 3-4, what's not to like? Yep. another B player for a team loaded with B players. Its all good, don't get me wrong, but don't expect more than a few wins from this group this year unless the O Line comes together and they get unexpectedly good QB play. Those are two gigantic 'ifs" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's what I find so ironic about this post. This isn't aimed at anyone in particular. So many people here have been so quick to disregard the so called experts opinions regarding the Bills. For example, the power ranking of the Bills. Yet we find a post here from a so called expert we don't even know. How many of you are willing to accept or be open minded regarding this experts opinion. I suspect more than there should be because it is something we want to hear. Its a positive so it is less questioned. In summary, we all believe what we want to believe and we are more likely to believe something if it fits into our thinking pattern. By the way, it is ridiculous to make this post. Thats old news on Torber and I don't give to shi ts about some college scouting report. Lets look at how he has performed as a pro. For christ's sake the guy has been in the league for 6-7 years and your going to quote some college scouting report? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is there is really only one way to go and that is up. I visit this and the Sabres page to see if there are any notable off-season moves to get excited about, but so far it has been more of the same.

The other thing we could do is criticize the team for picking up a guy who will ride the bench all year. It is ridiculous for the Bills to do this. Almost every other team in the NFL has 53 starters.
