muddy waters Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 If Nix/Gaily did not think Levi Brown was good enough to keep on the practice squad, why do they suddenly think he is good enough to put on the active roster? Weren't there better options out there on other teams' practice squads or free agents? Troy Smith is a name that intrigues me, but there must have been other options too. I'm still having a tough time figuring out the thinking of Nix and Chan. Very confused and frustrated with this organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 That had to be one helluva awkward phone call.

Ennjay Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Yeah, I think we should all spend the rest of the day beating up the Front Office and each other about the handling of Levi Brown because the feelings of the third string or practice squad QB is the biggest single issue facing this team now and hereafter for all time to come. The call wasn't awkward at all. "Levi, we told you we only need three QB's. There's an opening at #3. Do you want it or not?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Levi just went from poking a Bills voodoo doll with needles to them being his favorite team again. Let's face it.

I'm still having a tough time figuring out the thinking of Nix and Chan. Very confused and frustrated with this organization. Troy Smith was signed by the 49ers. As for Brown, running the scout team in practice would take away reps that (from what i gather)Gailey wanted Brohm to have. they probably wanted players at different positions on the PS as well. They wanted Brown back because he knows the system and went through an entire offseason/camp with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 i can't even imagine Levi in a real game where the defense actually gameplans against him.

dollars 2 donuts Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 He goes from 0 dollars a week to about $22,000 or so week per game. Assuming the rookie minimum is about $355,000. ...yeah, he takes that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2003Contenders Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Why all the criticism? Brown was one of the last cuts, and the Bills knew that no other NFL team would be interested in picking him up and adding him to their 53 man roster at that point. (Remember all the silly paranoia around here that the Bills shouldn't "risk" letting him pass through waivers to add him to the PS?) The only real threat was that some other team would sign him to THEIR practice squad, which just meant that the Bills would be able to sign sign him to the active roster if they ever wanted to (like they did with Brohm and Meredith last year).
