FLbills Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 maybe we can trade Freddy for a good CB F.J. is too important to let go IMO. If Hack daddy plans on run first then pass type of offense we need two good backs, especially fielding a rookie QB. While T. Choice is a decent back that gives opposing D's a different style of running to defend, he is not on the same level as F.J. Defenses are not threatened with Choice like they are with Freddy. But it does make me wonder if we could trade Byrd away would the level of talent drop off enough to where it would be a justifiable move. In other words, would it be easier to replace Byrd with somebody already on the roster and being able to adequately fill the void vs. trying to fill the void left by Gilmore's injury. I think it's easier to fill Byrd's shoes than it is Gilmore's. So IMO, trade Byrd for a good CB and he can move to CB#2 when Gilmore returns.

K-9 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 That's crazy talk, GG. Tony Greene was a free safety. One of my all-time favorite Bills though. Great player. He meant to say Mario Clark. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangarang Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Dray ton wasn't good for us. People were happy he got cut. Now all of a sudden he's a good player that we should bring back. Typical. I wonder how long before the bring back Reggie Torbor threads take to show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I can't see too many teams willing to trade a starting CB for a starting safety for the very reasons you point out. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KOKBILLS Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) Florence and Winfield for a year is a HUGE upgrade over our current Depth Chart at CB...And when Gilmore comes back CB may even be a strength...Well...At least it would not be a glaring weakness...

Bangarang Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 He's as mediocre as McKelvin is so given our situation why not... So just keep bringing in mediocre players for the hell of it? We just cut a bunch of scrub CBs. We know what we will get from Florence and its pretty bad. People are just desperate right now so any warm body is going to feel like an upgrade.

I am with you. I would have no problem bringing in both of them. I feel the same way about the OL and to a lesser degree TE. If there are guys on the open market better than your depth (which is lacking in those 3 places) bring them in. Florence and Winfield would be assets short term and probably be 2 of your corners in dime situations already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon Grundy Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) Reggie Corner(back) I'd like Winfield for his tackling alone. Minnifield would be nice as well. Young player.. Edited August 31, 2013 by the skycap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) Between now and Sunday one would think it won't be that hard to upgrade over the Bills #1 starting corner McKelvin. Brady must be thinking a career passing stat day right about now for the opener. Edited August 31, 2013 by Best Player Available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
