mike oxhurtz Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I'm just wondering why our 3rd round draft pick, Alex Carrington has been inactive the last 3 weeks? Did he do that bad in preseason to be inactive? So far, Stroud has been getting pushed around at DE and has not looked good. Also, McCargo looked good in preseason as well, but he's been inactive. Thoughts or insight anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 They may be trying to see how much they should give Stroud when they extend him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Caveman Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Were any DL active today besides Troup, Dwan, Stroud and Williams? Maybe they just felt they needed the bodies in other places? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDD Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 But a poster here, I believe that goes by the name of "Mr. Nix", insisted over the summer than Carrington would be better than Phil Hansen. This for a player that hadn't taken one snap in the NFL compared to one heck of a DE in Hansen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Lightning Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I'll repeat my last 10 posts..... Bench Green and play Meredith or Wang. Bench Kelsay and play Maybin and Coleman....guys with upside. Lets' start seeing less of Stroud and more of Carrington. I want to see more of Troup. Brace is coming along for the Pats...play the kids wiht upside and not those on the way out. Just do it and let's take our lumps now and build for next year.

BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I see Spiller getting about 10 touches a game, Troup seems like he never gets in more than 4 or 5 plays, Easly is done and Carrington never plays. Wang is useless as a fifth. What kind of draft guru is this Nix guy, a has been? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Likely a numbers game with Edwards, Stroud, Johnson, McCargo, and even Kyle Williams can bump to end if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagon Circler Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 After this horrific defensive performance, he should be dressing and playing. Let's see what he's got. We know what Stroud's got and it's not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earthtobrint Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Why did we even draft a 3-4 DE when there's already a logjam of them on the team? We're as deep, though not as good, at DE as we are at RB and DB's. It's also a low impact position in the 3-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wang is useless as a fifth. What kind of draft guru is this Nix guy, a has been? It's frightening to think that the Bills yet again very likely missed on nearly every pick in the draft.

What I believe is that Belicheck has always been willing to put in the player with the upside as quickly as he could. He didn't start rookies that were not ready but he would pull the veteran when his younger talent was ready. For that he would exploit his older players letting them move on. He just has the timing and the eye to know when these guys are ready. It has happened too much to say it's luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
