Rob's House Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Tank Tweeted this: @tankcarder Preciate everything the Bills have done for me thus far, wasn't the right fit, best of luck to the team and the organization The right fit part makes me wonder if he will even be PS'd It was never going to work. The Bills were looking for someone that was good & Tank sucked. Just not a good fit there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincec Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Frankly, Bradham hasn't impressed me this preseason either but I guess you got to keep somebody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habes1280 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Im still super high on White as well. I'm not an authority, but I thought Carder outperformed White and McKillop by miles in preseason games. Shed blocks fairly well and drove ball carriers backward on contact, as opposed to grabbing and being dragged for positive yardage. I like the name and I like the story, but was more persuaded by his play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malazan Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 If his name wasn't Tank, there would be a lot less interest in him not making the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 If his name was Bill Carder, no one would be shocked or stunned at all. LOL. So true. FWIW, I think Chris White is a player and that's the reason Carder didn't make this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) We loved the name ... we loved the story ... but if you watched him in game action he struggled and seemed lost. Agreed. Bradham wasn't much better, which is really disapointing. I hope they're scanning the waiver wire as the LB group is a real liability right now...

TC in St. Louis Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I hope he stays with the team. I've been a fan since he literally blew up Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl a couple years ago. He is a football player. Maybe his tweet was a ruse. Maybe he's ready to hit the practice squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Makes sense to put him as the first LB off of the practice squad. I thought he would have made the roster over White but its a minor thing, I doubt he gets claimed off waivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Too bad for him. Things just went from bad to worse. Why do you say that? They felt Bradham and Morrison were the better backups right now, and White must give them something they don't see in Carder - I'm betting ST. Why is it bad, why is it gone to worse?

RussellDopeland Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Carder is a stiff, slow-footed white dude with a cool name. If he was named Larry, and black, no one here would give a rat's a$$ where he ended up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
