Stussy109 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Most glaring needs IMO is depth at OL and depth at LB in that order, I would not be surprised to see an OL or TE pickup based on need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be real intriging to see what the FO does these next couple of days with the waiver wire. I think here is where we see if Nix is a good GM or not. This time of year is where he should be very strong in bringing in high value players for the Bills who have upside or who can step in a do a quick fix. Nix is not a wheeler dealer like Polian but he is a solid personnel guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nix is not a wheeler dealer like Polian but he is a solid personnel guy. I completely disagree. A player has to be *way* better than someone we have to bring him in at this time of year. He'll be way behind everyone else learning the schemes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be way behind everyone else learning the schemes. Way better than most of our back up offensive linemen might describe quite a few cuts today we will see. Now is the time of year to pick up back ups on the cheap. I hope we see some movement. On my roster I cut a lot of Oline back ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be way behind everyone else learning the schemes. Exactly, and Nixhas said those same things before. The guys they might bring in now are for depth, not to start like most expect. They would need time to learn the system and one week isn't going to be enough. Theres the odd guy that you might be able t pick up that could help the team, but most of these guys are guys you bring in for depth at a position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your premise but the oline and tight end postiion could use vetern upgrades asap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowery4 Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 Chan- "The Oline looked horrible...we have a lot of work to do to make that part of the game better" not really a quote but a paraphrase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yungmack Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Our QBs are all decent enough and have been working assiduously in Chan's scheme for months now. In order for the Bills to pick up a Qb who gets cut today, the guy would have to be something really special and I seriously doubt there will be any QBs of that caliber available. As to extra O linemen, yeah, grab a few because our backups are horrendous. Look, I'm old, I'm under 200 pounds, but I swear I can do a better job than Chambers. If a decent TE is available, that might be a good addition. I already hate Foschi. We don't need RBs and WRs. The shame is the Bills are going to have to cut some guys who in years passed would have easily made the team. And I suspect we'll all be shaking our heads down the road when some of them go on to success elsewhere. LBs are a concern and (I know this is heresy around here) the depth of our DBs in this new system is a concern to me. They seem small and slow against the run, and tentative (which suggests they haven't really "gotten" the new system). If a great D lineman came available, I'd make a run on him. Otherwise, why bother? We already have guys who are just okay. My biggest concern continues to be special teams (though they have seemed to improve a little each game). I'll wait till the regular season before I officially become worried about Moorman and Lindell. To my eyes, Lindell's kickoff power looks to be in decline. His FG ability is as good as ever. Moorman hasn't seemed to be as accurate with his punts this year. Maybe I'm just expecting too much from them -- these guys are two of the best in the game. Still...

apuszczalowski Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Besides some depth o-linemen, I really don't see the Bills making any moves for roster cuts unless the guy they go after is something special and knows the system. TE would be a position to look at, but right now they just need a body to fill a spot for 4 games til Nelson comes back, unless they don't feel he is their guy and they cut him, which I doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
