John Cocktosten Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 He's a good player but he's a degenerate. The Vikings let him go because they were sick of dealing with his BS. So unfortunately, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Duck Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I'm gonna try to be nice about this… Pears is the presumed starter at right tackle. Bryant McKinnie has played his entire career (including college) at left tackle… think about that for a second. This is the ultimate "I've heard of him" thread. People who are actually advocating for McKinnie are in my eyes, not very knowledgeable about football, McKinnie, or what makes a good decision or a good investment. I wouldn't buy McKinnie if he was a penny stock… in other words, at any price. You couldn't give him to me and I'm incredulous that there are some people who actually think it would be a good idea to sign him. Here's only one glimpse into his character (Wiki): "McKinnie was selected to his first NFL Pro Bowl game in during the 2009 season, but before the event it was announced that he would not play in the game. The league said they had kicked him off his Pro Bowl squad for for skipping most of the team practices and obligations. He had previously told NFC offensive line coach Hudson Houck that he was ill. Houck told reporters, "he said Tuesday that he had the flu. Maybe it was the flu." According to McKinnie's Twitter account, bigmacvikings, three days before the Pro Bowl, McKinnie told followers "on my way 2 Mansion," referencing the Mansion Miami nightclub in his hometown. The next night, he wrote "leaving the beach headed 2 KOD's". KOD's meaning the King of Diamonds gentlemen's club. He had unexcused absences these two days in a row. When made aware of these Twitter updates, Houck was surprised. "Really? Well, this really is kind of a unique situation."[4] Bryant told reporters that due to injuries in his feet and left ankle he had decided he didn't want to play.[5] He said he called his agent and told him he was going to withdraw, but this was improperly communicated. Several weeks later has was ordered by the league to reimburse the NFL $4,285 for expenses in Miami that week. He also forfeited his $22,500 game check." With all due respect San Jose there are people who think every player on the Bills roster needs to be a goody two shoes and people who don't. To say anyone who is advocating bringing McKinnie into Buffalo for an interview doesn't know football is somewhat disrespectful in my opinion. Especially considering the guys been an iron man when it comes to doing his job on the football field and regardless of what happened, the guy was still selected to the pro bowl by his peers in 2009. That alone should tell you the guy can play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Like I said, we blew it back then. McKinney has been a very productive OT for 8 years. Does that mean we should look at him now? In my opinion, yes! At lease do your due diligence. My feeling is the Miami guy (Carey?) would be a better pick-up, but a team in need of OT help should at least make some phone calls, and buy him a ticket for an interview if there's any hope for him. There is little risk in asking the right questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
