3rdand12 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Also: Rams cut FS O.J. Atogwe ---3rd best Free Agent Safety, after Weddle and Landry Texans cut FS Eugene Wilson Texans cut WR Andre' Davis I think we really need to stay on top of any potential upgrades, including short term for somewhat reasonable pay. We are a couple year away i think still. need to fill gaps with exp NFLers to help our youngsters become better players. When you field a better team that has good balance ithink everyone is more likely to stay healthier longer. (does not apply to Sanders so much). If we can grab some solid Fa this year we should be ready to spend for them. I do hope we can make some additions using FA this year. I am still waiting to hear about that Miami NT is going to be asking for if he leaves. That an Addition! thanks for heads up how old is eugene these days?

coseybedaman Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 IMO nothing wrong with bringing him in for a reasonable contract, and hoping he can stay healthy. Maybe try and change his body a bit in the conditioning room. The guy is a top 5 safety in football when he is on the field. I am sure we will come in millions and millions under the cap as usual so what is the real risk here except Ralph having a few less dollars to go out to dinner with?

yungmack Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Ad rather have an injured Bob Sanders than a healthy Donte Whitner... because either way George Wilson is on the field! Well, you can have. Just don't send him over to the Bills when you're done with him, honey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Blizzard Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Just saw it on espn, so no link How much is he gonna go for, considering his injuries. Is he worth investing in? For our team, it wouldn't make sense. But makes sense for contending teams that just hope he's healthy for the playoffs. No thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 BADOL, you do realize that he meant Marv the genius coach, and not Marv the geriatric GM? Marv was far from a genius coach. He was basically the loveable, clueless chaperone of those teams. We found out just how clueless he was when he returned as GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We found out just how clueless he was when he returned as GM. Marv is well known as one of the most intelligent coaches in the business. He completely turned around a hopeless franchise, turned them into a contender, and was instrumental in creating the "no huddle offense" as we know it today. While I agree with you about the horrific GM disaster, Marv was definitely a genius coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree with you about the horrific GM disaster, Marv was definitely a genius coach. Ted Marchibroda and Jim Kelly created the Bills no-huddle offense. Bill Polian and Jim Kelly turned around the franchise. Marv was a caretaker. He was not an innovative coach. Most of his assistant coaches were outright bad. He has no coaching tree. Like I said, he was a chaperone. The Bills players loved him because he let the lunatics run the asylum. Polian loved him because he didn't meddle with personnel. Ralph loved him because he took his calls. He was all those things, but certainly not a genius coach. No way, no how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agardin Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I actually remember the Bills complained about it and then adopted it as their own. I did find this article from 89 but I don't feel like going through the free trial for the site. You get this idea here, Marv didn't like the no huddle because of the substitution rules and didn't run the no huddle prior to playing the Bengals but after that they moved to it. At least that is how I remember it. http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-1167173.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
