Steely Dan Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 The information on each players age is taken from BB.com player page. Link The average age of the Bills 53 man roster as of 09/07/2010 is 26.5 years The positions are in alphabetical order: (Players 25 or younger have been highlighted in red. There are 24 players on the team that are 25 or younger.) The Conerbacks (5) Corner - 26 Florence - 29 McGee - 29 McKelvin - 25 Youboty - 26 ____________________ Average age of the CB unit - 27.0 years The Defensive Line (7) Carrington - 23 Edwards - 29 Johnson - 28 McCargo - 27 Stroud - 32 Troup - 22 Williams - 27 _____________________ Average age of the DL unit - 26.8 Fullback (1) McIntyre - 31 _____________________ Kickers (2) Lindell - 33 Moorman - 34 ______________________ Average age of the kickers - 33.5 Long Snapper (1) Sanborn - 25 _____________________ Linebackers (10) Coleman - 24 Davis - 31 Ellis -25 Ellison - 26 Kelsay - 30 Maybin - 22 Mitchell - 30 Moats - 22 Poz - 25 Torbor - 29 _____________________ Average age of the LB unit - 26.4 Offensive Lineman (9) Bell - 26 Green - 34 Hangartner - 28 Howard - 23 Levitre - 24 Meredith - 24 Urbik - 24 Wang - 23 Wood - 24 ________________________ Average age of the offensive line unit - 25.5 Quarterbacks (3) Brohm - 24 Edwards - 26 Fitzpatrick - 27 _________________________ Average age of the QB unit - 25.6 Running Backs (3) Jackson - 29 Lynch - 24 Spiller - 23 _________________________ Average age of the Running Back unit - 25.3 Safeties (5) Byrd - 23 Harris - 23 Scott - 29 Whitner - 25 Wilson - 29 _________________________ Average age of the Safety unit - 25.8 Tight Ends (2) Martin - 31 Stupar - 26 _________________________ Average age of the Tight End unit - 28.5 Wide Receivers (5) Evans - 29 Johnson - 24 Jones - 22 Nelson - 23 Parrish - 28 ________________________ Average age of the Wide Receiver unit - 25.2 I don't know what the average age of the rest of the teams are but it looks like Buffalo has some good young talent to work with. I'm betting dollars to donuts that the Bills become formidable for several years once they hit their stride. I find some things curious about the numbers kept for each position. There are four starting LB positions and yet the team kept 10 on the roster. There are 5 starting OL positions and the team kept 9. Also, five WR's seems a bit thin to me.

JMO Yes, they are a very young team, and will likely take some lumps because of it. They do have some nice upside, and with a few more solid drafts, can be a force to be reckoned with in the upcoming years, if they play their cards right and stop letting good young players walk.

WordByrd Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Donte sticks out to me the most. He's only 25! Seems like we picked him forever ago. I really like him against the run, and I think he's going to have a nice year in pass coverage too. I predict Donte to back up his talk this year.

I think a lot of the young talent on this team is better than most think. I believe they've found a coach who knows how to get the best from his players.

slyng1 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 How does this compare with the rest of the league or our division? I assume we're younger, but it would be interesting to see where we rank among the 32 teams. I'd also be interested in seeing if there's any correlation between avg age and how much success you have in this league -- I wonder what the optimal age is to make a super bowl run?

Bills Fan in MD Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I'd comment on the subject matter at hand, but I'm too busy feeling depressed at how old I am . . . I think this is the first time in my life that I am older than every player on the Bills, and it's only downhill from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need to do something similar with TSW membership...although I'm not as optimistic about the pool of "good young talent" here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jokeman Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) I'd comment on the subject matter at hand, but I'm too busy feeling depressed at how old I am . . . I think this is the first time in my life that I am older than every player on the Bills, and it's only downhill from here. I hear you, as the only players older than me on the entire roster are the punter and the kicker. Edited September 7, 2010 by The Jokeman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockinon Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Looking at Stroud's age and the reports that he is in the best shape of his career is kind of interesting. YOU feel bad?

Steely Dan Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 These frickin whiny baby boneheads. I'm older than the players!! Waaah! Waaah! Waaah! Anyhoo, I was talking to a friend tonight and he believes the reason the Bills kept 10 LB's is that they are, generally, the best ST players.
