BoozeCruise Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hey One Bills gang, how do ya feel about Roy Williams. I'm thinking it would be nice not having to draft a wideout. Roy is almost definitely getting cut and he'd bring us a big target for not too bad a price tag. I think he can still be a big time wideout in the right system. He was a beast in Detroit and I'd like to see some of that jump ball game in Orchard Park. Ya can't throw to a buncha 5'10" guys all day. I don't think we can depend on Easley being that guy. Set down the moonshine and banjo Nixxy Boy and grab that rotary telephone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Williams wouldn't be a bad option, but I think that David Nelson has already shown that he's going to be the guy to fill that role on this team. We can only hope that Easley will bring something to the table as well. The only way we get any other receiver is if Evans is let go and I think that largely will depend on what we do in FA. Williams will be signed by someone else like San Francisco, Tennessee, Chicago, or Washington by the time we figure out what we will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsObserver Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hey guys, we don't need to draft a receiver or pick one up through free agency. We have much more needs. Roy Williams isn't very good anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreakPop Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 NO to Roy E.! I think you have tipped too many back on your booze cruise. Although tipping a few back does sound like a good idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozeCruise Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 I say Lee Evans is as good as gone. It would probably only take half of his salary to bring in Roy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set down the moonshine and banjo Nixxy Boy and grab that rotary telephone. "A buncha 5'10" guys?" The only guys who are sub-6' at WR for the Bills are Evans and Parrish, and Evans is a shade under 5'11" while Parrish is a slot receiver where height isn't necessary (and he's only under contract for another year). Johnson is 6'2". Easley is 6'3". Nelson is 6'5". And Roosevelt and Jones are a shade over 6'. Moreover they're all young and look to have promise, whereas Williams is close to 30 and has shown that his 1 good year was a fluke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr1 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I'd be okay with it if he's willing to mentor the young guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I say Lee Evans is as good as gone. It would probably only take half of his salary to bring in Roy. Johnson and Parrish looking good, Nelson and Jones looking good and big. Roosevelt has him some jump and give Easley a chance to show what he brings to the table. Spend the FA egg money on LB and TE, OT and DE also worthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set down the moonshine and banjo Nixxy Boy and grab that rotary telephone. good to see we found our arguement in fact and research. current recievers, we can include practice squad for sh*ts and giggles Paul Hubbard 6'2 Steve Johnson 6'2 Donald Jones 6'0 David Nelson 6'5 Naaman Roosevelt 6'0 IR Lee Evens 5'10 Roscoe Parrish 5'9 Marcus Easley 6'2 Huggins Felton 6'2 Practice Squad Bobby Willaims 6'2 Rod Windsor 6'2 We used to have a problem with height on the field. That doesnt really exist for use anymore. That is one thing Nix has always liked, Tall reciecers. Its clear that that has been resolved. This is most likely one of the key factors on why we have been doing so much better in the redzone this year. Maybe you can create another topic where you just make things up, or bring up an issue unfounded in truth so that we can try and bring in a player you have heard of.

nucci Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I'd be okay with it if he's willing to mentor the young guys When has he proven he can do this? This is not a criticism of the OP but when you recommend a player do you watch a lot of football? I don't see how Williams helps this team at all.

KD in CA Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Three years ago I would have had a boner over the thought of Roy Williams in Buffalo. He showed a ton of promise on some bad Lion teams, but he's been a huge disappointment in Dallas to the point that they drafted Bryant to replace him. Plus, he comes with the usual 'me-first' WR attitude and will whine about being underpaid no matter how much someone gives him. Let's spend the money on the defense.

Just in Atlanta Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 We have good receivers. But it was clear from the game against the Pats that we lack great ones. How may drops did we have? Still, I would like Roy Williams. He's big and physical and we wouldn't have to waste a draft pick when we need so much defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsObserver Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 And they'll all still be hurt next September? What the hell are you talking about? No, they won't all be hurt in September. The guy said after watching the Pats game it's clear we have good receivers but not great ones and I countered with "A lot of our receivers were hurt in that game, how could you make that evaluation." No Roscoe. No Lee. No Nelson. No Easley (not that he counts). and so forth.. I think signing Roy Williams is a horrible idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
....lybob Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 People on this board talk about getting rid of Evans for not having consistent production or not living up to #1 WR expectations- they would crucify Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree with you. WR is far down the list of areas to worry about for this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
