BillsGuyInMalta Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I sincerely hope they sign one of the tryout WRs. I'd actually prefer Alexander over Stallworth at this point though, as long as Danario checks out healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Cat Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 What's with all the WR's passing through OBD? Still no confidence in #11? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Big Cat - Maybe they are looking for that "tall, physical specimen" they missed out on in taking Graham...I think both of these WR's are over 6'2". Nelson is out so Chan feels that he may need a tallish guy akin to Nelson for Fitz' benefit?? No idea why, but I don't mind them looking for sales in the Sunday paper.

MARCELL DAREUS POWER Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 either going to cut martin, and bring in a better wr... ie little value in martin on the team? thats whay im guessing... especially since martin is hurt too i like our 3, stevie, jones, and graham... but we need a more legit option. graham is green... plus spiller is out for a week....

I'm thinking it has more and more to do with Martin than anything else... Seems like a once-reliable vet like Stallworth or Alexander would be more valuable to our roster than Martin...r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderstealer Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 The loss of Nelson seems unimportant through two wins. But that's foolish to believe. Probably in practice the void is really felt and the coaches need more talent to do what we want to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in Chicago Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 ProFootballTalk @ProFootballTalk The Bills worked out WR Donte' Stallworth today, per league source.

Maybe Someday Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Whether or not we sign him, I am just happy to see the FO never rests while looking for possible upgrades. I agree 100%. Midseason workouts like this were how we got Pears and Chandler…possibly Urbik too but I can’t remember his situation. Stallworth could probably step in and contribute right away if we choose to sign him. He’s been around the league awhile and should be able to pick up the offense pretty quickly. Alexander would probably take a little longer to pick things up since he’s young and fairly green but I saw him play a game with the Rams last year and he was a beast.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Didn't he spend all training camp with NE? How much of the playbook does he remember? This. Didn't he used to play for the Pats? Stallworth? Yep, 2007 and I believe he spent this year's training camp with them (cut at the end) Kinda long in the tooth though - his best year was 2005 The loss of Nelson seems unimportant through two wins. But that's foolish to believe. Probably in practice the void is really felt and the coaches need more talent to do what we want to do. I suspect that Jones is not getting open in the slot as much as they'd hoped, and likely they are looking to limit the damage to FJ and CJ by not using them as heavily as receivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineMoxie Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Aside from potential insider information from Stallworth, I'd rather them bring back Roosevelt. The guy knows how to run routes, gets open, and has great hands. The only reason he hasn't caught on anywhere is his size and speed. But if you get open, run good routes, and catch the balls thrown to you, how important are speed and size anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChasBB Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I don't understand the love affair with easley. It's not so much blind devotion. This is Easley's 3rd year in the system. He knows the system. He's still the same guy the Bills brass were very positive about when they drafted him. He doesn't have the game experience you'd like due to being on IR for two years, but the upside is that he knows Gailey's system. He's still the big and fast target he was when they drafted him. I really think the guy just needs an opportunity to get on the field and he'll do some good things. I'll put it this way, I'd hate for Buffalo to never find out and then he goes and has a stellar career for some other team. Let's see what he can do. NIx has been fairly decent at evaluating talent and I trust Nix's original instincts on this pick. I want to see what he can do in real games that count.

jumbalaya Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 yea i hope sign one of them... i can see that Thigpen days are almost over I like Alexander coming out of Missouri. Bad knees and all. He played well with the ST Lambs but did not stick with the change in regimes. Tall, fast and can catch, what's not to like?

ChanOverChin Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Stallworth worked out for the Bills on Monday, 9-24-12. He's not a great WR anymore, but he might be able to help.
