BillsGuyInMalta Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Ugh...McKillop is a backup. Hopefully we can find someone out there after the rest of the league cuts down, our MLBs are dangerously thin. Â Tank is a lock for the practice squad though.

I think McKillop led the team this preseason in..... missed tackles. Helps going to Pitt. If Tank is cut and this clown makesit then I'll need to have another..

shoretalk Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 We loved the name ... we loved the story ... but if you watched him in game action he struggled and seemed lost. Â Hopefully. he'll clear waivers and settle into the PS to develop for a year and become more of what we all wanted him to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 The thing is, Chris White was a fifth rounder last year, who looked better than I imagined before he got hurt, and was playing the same position. It's quite possible that White just beat him out. Â It's also possible that they want to keep McKilop and Morrison, for different reasons, and because of problems at other spots, like CB, they thought they had to get by with six LBs plus Scott, and liked Morrison's versatility or veteran presence over Tank's potential. I think Tank MAY clear waivers and be put on the PS but will be offered a contract by another team within a few weeks when all the dust settles, and then the Bills would be forced into making a tough decision..

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I'm shocked. He was looking decent in camp. Perhaps they're doing it to sign him to the practice squad, but from the tweet in doesn't sound like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
