Mike in Syracuse Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Here's something I don't understand. Nelson is listed on the depth chart behind Stevie. I realize he isn't a burner but the guy just gets open, why not move him to the #2 WR or worse, keep him in the slot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanCity Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Despite his setbacks, I still see Easley as the one receiver with the ability to fill the no. 2 role. Aiken looked good last year, but Easley showed alot before he was forced to sit out the year. Edited March 19, 2012 by VanCity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Here's something I don't understand. Nelson is listed on the depth chart behind Stevie. I realize he isn't a burner but the guy just gets open, why not move him to the #2 WR or worse, keep him in the slot? Nelson was ineffective when forced to play the #2 WR for a short while. He's a very good role player but is most effective as a #3 or even #4 guy who splits seams down the middle of the field coming out of the slot, and going against LBs, safeties and #3 or #4 CBs. The Bills were most effective with Roscoe in the slot and either Nelson and/or Chandler as the #4 or #5 option depending on if they had Freddy in the game or not. Some guys are strictly outside guys and some strictly inside guys and some both. Nelson seems much more like a strictly inside guy despite his size.

Buftex Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hagan, for me, was one of the few bright spots on the offense, down the stretch. He really looked motivivated whenever he was on the field. I believe it was the Chargers debacle, where he looked like the only guy who had any interest in playing football, that day, for the Buffalo Bills. Good move.

BillsObserver Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Where does Naaman fit in, or does he? PTR You kidding me? Just my opinion but Naaman doesn't have much of a chance to make the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 What were you guys watching to say that Easley looked good in camp? Was it in the practices? Because in the little action he saw in preseason he looked absolutely lost and had a major mistake for every average play. And please give up the man love for Donald Jones. Hagan was much more effective in stretching the field than Jones ever was. Too bad Fitz was shot by then. I hope to never see a 30 yard pass attempt to Jones on a third and 2.

Good move. +1 big target, high motor, never gives up. Ill say it again, Id take Hagan over Jones. Really like the way he played.

Tsaikotic Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) is there any possible way that Nelson switches to TE or is he just to light?...not sure what I'm seeing watching games, but Nelson seems to remind me of a TE when I see him play...I see 6 wr's on the roster, 5 if they designate Smith as QB(so basically it's 3 qbs/5 wr's or 2 qb's/ 6 wr's)...I also think they go with 2 TE's. By designating Nelson as a TE they can keep a wr that might get cut otherwise...How much weight would Nelson have to add to be a TE? just wondering. thought I'd edit on Smith..ultimately either way they designate him it would be 3 qb's and 6 wr's... just he can only count towards the 53 as 1 of them. I like these wr's, barring any additions in the future: Stevie Johnson, Marcus Easley, David Nelson, Derek Hagan, Brad Smith, Naaman Roosevelt / Kamar Aiken Edited March 19, 2012 by Tsaikotic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 He was a late season FA pickup that looked pretty good, I thought. Glad to see him back. So while it's thought the Bills still need another WR, they have two x-factors on Hagen and Easley that could contribute at some level. PTR +1. Still need a proven commodity, but having some guys who have a high ceiling is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Doug Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 And there's our WR "FA" pick-up. Draft here we come. I'm guessing OT or CB. Is it bad that Buddy has become so predictable? He basically says what he's about to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He basically says what he's about to do. Buddy said what he did about FA WR because there were not any left that fit the kind of player he wants for the position, a big, fast guy who can stretch the field a little. What he said had nothing to do with us drafting a WR, and it is still very much in play. Hagan was a decent re-signing and could end up as our #5 or #6 WR.

John from Riverside Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Just for the record....I like this signing...Hagan is fast and big...and frankly he impressed me at the end of last year. I dont think we are going wide receiver in the first round...this is totally looking like Left Tackle to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 +1. Still need a proven commodity, but having some guys who have a high ceiling is nice. Define "high ceiling"? Except for Stevie as your #1, and Nelson as your slot guy, it is nothing but a bunch of questions marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I bet Kamar Aiken makes it into the 53 man roster this year... Mark my words Kamar Aiken aka Baby Stevie... Aiken can play and should have been on the field more late in the season. If there is something we don't know about him he may not make the roster. I hope that's not the case.

Reed83HOF Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 S. Johnson D. Hagan M. Easley N. Roosevelt D. Jones D. Nelson D. Clowney R. Parrish R. Martin ------------ Those are the only sure shots... the rest all suck IMO (except healthy Parrish) What an uninspiring list. SJ is a 1 or a 2, Nelson is a third, who knows anything about Easley. We need to grab one, this WR corp will not strike any fear in an opposing D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsObserver Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Yeah. Like Naaman Roosevelt did anything in the NFL. PTR He's just not Chan's guy. Not fast enough, not tall enough. They've even said that. When your moniker is "All I do is catch everything" and then you start dropping balls... well, you know what that means. The only time they bring him back is when there's an injury. I know you love the kid but he's not the complete receiver (his blocking just isnt good) they prefer.

He is a backup/STer at best. Just like him for being a local/UB kid. PTR Edited March 19, 2012 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
