r00tabaga Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Yeah Eddins injury wasn't serious but by IRing him the Bills can protect his rights. I too am glad about Corner returning. Obviously, I'd rather see a healthy TMG but that hammy must be pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it was Greer and McGee abck then, I thought we let the wrong guy go.. McGee is injury prone, IMO, and he's still got gas enough that some teams will be interested in him big time. I say timing is everything when it comes to making good deals. The time to trade McGee is now, or when he's back healthy. Depending on the need, we should easily get a 3rd rounder for him? I'm confident in the guys we have at CB now, they're all above average, IMO, or at least with as much potential to be.. Corner is one of them. I know don't like Corner but he's gritty, and Buffalo likes gritty.. Â Â Tim- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same and more actually could be said about Roscoe. I remember McGee as the one player we have had over the last 5 or 6 years that Belichik was actually afraid of. When McGee was returning kicks, he was an absolute terror. After a few good returns against the PATs one year, Belichik switched to squibb kicks whenever McGee was back there and did so every game after that. For my money, he is the best returner we have ever had. I would be inclined to give him the benefit of every doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Have a hunch that his injury isn't really serious and he was simply a victim of numbers. Agreed. Although, after the game, Gailey said that Eddins injury was the worst of them, after he said that McGee was bad and would be out a few weeks. That means more than a few weeks for Eddins. If they didn't keep 11 LBs, Eddins may have lasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D521646 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I don't disagree with anything you've said. My post was not to lament on McGee's skillz. He is a good player, BUT, he "was" a better player. It means that although he is not the player he once was, he is indeed trade bait for a team in need, and good enough for a 3rd rounder, IMO, maybe even 2nd round if the need is urgent. Look, I like him a lot, I really do, but I'm trying to think about the future. Our CB core is pretty good, a notch or two above average, IMO, and well coached. We could stand to lose McGee, and it wouldn't hurt us necessarily. Â Â Just sayin. Â Tim- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my money, he is the best returner we have ever had. I would be inclined to give him the benefit of every doubt. Â I agree. I know we don't use him that way anymore, but I think he might be the best KO returner I've ever seen period, not just on the Bills. Others may have been faster or more juke-tacular, but he was so smooth and efficient - always seemed to make the right little cut or weight shift and would zip through the smallest gaps. He made it look effortless. If he wasn't the best KO returner in terms of athletic ability or production, he was certainly the most natural one I've ever seen. I like him as a CB too, but I would never have stopped using him on kickoffs. Â Also, he is only 30 (DBs can be good well past that), and he has played 14, 11, and 9 games the past three years. (Before that he was good for 15-16). If that's a trend because of aging, well, that sucks. But I think it's too early on the career arc to say that.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 (edited) Numerous thoughts on this one. Â * Reggie Corner may be on the roster solely as an insurance policy... he's not suddenly our nickel cornerback again. There's a good chance that he's there for injury disaster only and that Aaron Williams is ahead of him now. In fact there's even a chance that they'd give Justin Rogers a shot ahead of Corner in the event of an injury onslaught at corner. The Bills know what Reggie Corner is all about and they cut him. Â * Terrence McGee has played in just 13 of the last 32 regular season games. Trade him? He has zero trade value. No one gives draft picks up for an aging cornerback who cannot stay healthy. Â * Eddins wasn't likely to make a big impact this year. He's Bills property and hopefully makes a big jump next year. Not broken up about this one at all (BTW, the Bills did not announce the nature of Eddins' injury when they announced him to IR). Â * Antonio Coleman is one OLB injury away from being contacted by the Bills. Edited September 14, 2011 by San Jose Bills Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Agree to an extent, and I don't think Corner is very good. Â There is a very good chance, however, that if there were another injury, Corner would shoot ahead of Rogers instantly. We still have three decent options in Flo, McLovin, and A Williams. We also have three safeties that can play, although Scott has been playing LB in nickel and dime packages. The Bills liked Rogers over Corner but Rogers is likely not ready to play yet. He missed a lot of training camp and he is an undersized rookie. They may not want two rookies back there. Corner was probably the best option right now as a bandaid, even though he isn't very good. he knows the defense. Â I think I will be surprised if Corner is on the team 6-8 weeks from now though, barring a rash of injuries back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Tim- Â At this point in his career and with his recent injury history, I have to completely disagree with your perspective on McGee's value. I don't think there's a single team out there that would trade a 3rd rounder for him, let alone a 2nd. He could probably get something in a trade, but it wouldn't be a lot.

Mark Long Beach Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Why not use the PUP list then? Same for Easley. Â Pup is only for injuries prior to the preseason IIRC. Once they're part of training camp they can't be put on PUP and certainly not by the time the regular season starts. Â Once regular season starts the only options are cut, roster spot or IR.

NewEra Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 We'll see how much we miss McGee in 2 weeks. I fully expect Brady to target Williams/corner all day long. Let's hope they're p to the task Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 lol there's NO WAY you're getting a 3rd rounder for McGee now. There's really no sense in trading the man now. You'd be lucky to net a 5th; my best guess would be a 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
