ChevyVanMiller Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) I took a look at the final cuts and put together a team of 26 - 11 starters on both offense and defense and 4 specialists. Do you think this team (with adequate backups and above average coaching) could post at least an 8-8 record? Heck, could they win a single game? Would you trade any current Bills starter for any of these guys? (Two notes: WR was the hardest position as there are many "name" players available. I also chose Wallace over Vince Young, but you might want another shot with Vince instead). QB Seneca Wallace RB Tim Hightower FB Moran Norris WR Deion Branch WR Chad Johnson TE Kellen Winslow C Dan Koppen G Trai Essex G Jake Scott T Reggie Wells T Kareem McKenzie DT Dwan Edwards DT Amobi Okoye DE Vernon Gholston DE Andre Carter OL Clark Haggans OL Matt Roth ML E.J. Henderson CB Drayton Florence CB Alphonso Smith S O.J. Atogwe S/CB Joselio Hanson K John Kasay P Jeremy Kapinos LS Justin Snow KR D.J.

uncle flap Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 At best, that would've been a decent team a few years ago. Even the bottom-feeders of the NFL have one or two guys that need to be accounted for and on this team there isn't even one. I don't think this team would win a single game if they suited up together this year. Re: the Bills, the only upgrade might be Jake Sott over Urbik. Branch and Ochocinco might be better than any one of of the BIlls #2 WR-by-committee guys, but I'd rather roll with the guys who have been in the system and are trending upward. IMO, Branch and Ocho don't have much if, if anything, left in the tank. If the Bills do sign another WR, I'd rather go with another young guy with upside (Tori Gurley), or someone like Gaffney who while not stellar by any means, is at least a reliable depth player and can fill the role til they (hopefully) draft someone next year. Same with the LBs. For whatever they may be lacking, I don't think plugging in any of those guys on the list would be that significant of an upgrade and I'd like to see Sheppard and Moats continue to develop. Plus, I believe Bradham will eventually wind up as an above-average starter. I don't know too much about Alphonso Smith, but word is he's solid and the Bills are currently pretty thin at CB, so maybe he gets a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloFan68 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 A lot of other players that could be added such as Merriman & VY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob's House Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I'd take TO over either WR. And I don't think this team would have a even a remote shot at 8-8 but I could see them winning a game or two over the course of a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booger Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 A lot of other players that could be added such as Merriman & VY. DING DING DING...we have a winner. Merriman and Vince Young huh? Merriman who has not done anything productive for 5 years other than get hurt and Vince Young who you got to see first hand at what a "winner" he was. Man, get over the players the Bills pick up and cut and look at the broad spectrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowery4 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 it has me wondering if the non name cuts would beat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 That team would likely go 1-15, now if you put that team together 4-5 years ago (With VY as the QB) that team could have won 5-7 games. I still think that a decent amount of those guys will find a team as the season goes along and injuries hit rosters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
