eball Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Feel badly for Mitchell. A weak spot for the Bills becomes weaker; not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo_bills Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Ayodele>Mitchell...i think so. Ayodele has been a career starter, and i dont think hes much of a downdgrade, if not an upgrade over Mitchell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayodele has been a career starter, and i dont think hes much of a downdgrade, if not an upgrade over Mitchell. It's amazing how fast these things happen. Did we not just hear a day or 2 ago that Mitchell is unlikely for game 1? I know Gailey wasn't commenting on long term prognosis, but did anyone see this coming?

bowery4 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 @JeremyWGR He's out for the season. Wish him well @KawikaMitchell. IR for Kawika Mitchell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoner7 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Ayodele>Mitchell...i think so. Ayodele has been a career starter, and i dont think hes much of a downdgrade, if not an upgrade over Mitchell. I agree with that in the past but Ayodeles game is losing ground at this point. Still I didnt think Mitchell was the greatest in the first place. Dont like to see him to go down but I do like the veteran addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Adoyele should be a solid veteran replacement as a back-up, depending on how much speed he may have lost. He's always been productive. Probably a better ILB than Mitchell was, although Mitchell was probably a better blitzer and a little quicker in coverage. Still, it's probably not much of a loss, if any at all. http://www.miamidolphins.com/content/akin-ayodele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I'm waiting for the people who wanted to cut Mitchell to start freaking out that he's injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderbread Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 This has injury settlement written all over it. Yes. I thought the same thing. maybe its a cost cutting measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FightClub Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 How did Mitchell even get hurt?? I heard he was likely out for game 1 about a day ago, but where did this sudden injury come from? Practice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermike Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Eh, I'd guess we wanted to cut him all along, but couldn't because he was injured. The meantime was just scouting replacements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 This is likely why Akin was cut by the Broncos... Ayodele became expendable when the Broncos decided to move Mario Haggan from outside linebacker to the inside "Mike" position, where Haggan spent all of the offseason and the early portion of training camp. The team has bumped Robert Ayers into the starting lineup at outside linebacker along with Jarvis Moss, who returned last week from a broken hand. Joe Mays and Wesley Woodyard, both key special-teams players, will provide depth at inside linebacker. Baraka Atkins, Jason Hunter and Jammie Kirlew will fight for jobs on the outside. "I just don't believe in taking veteran players to the final cutdown once you've already made a decision," coach Josh McDaniels said of releasing Ayodele, who signed as a free agent in April.

As a bonus, Adoyele has more experience in the 3-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lets_go_bills Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 That sucks for both us and him. He'll never play another down in a Bills uniform. Signing Ayodele makes sense. He fits the D and knows the scheme. Should be a decent backup/depth player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
