Bills head coach Doug Marrone was asked if they’d be making a roster move to sign another free agent cornerback with Ron Brooks out indefinitely with a broken foot that requires surgery. Marrone laid out his philosophy when it comes to filling holes on their roster at a specific position.

“I believe if you have players on your practice squad you bring them up and then you go out and find players for your practice squad,” said Marrone. ”Unless you don’t have those players in the building then you go out and look for them. When you lose players for an amount of time you have to have a little vision to see who the teams are that are coming up to see if you’re going to need more players at that position and make that decision.”

Buffalo has Brandon Burton, who they just signed last week, as well as rookie CB Johnny Adams on the practice squad. Marrone said he’ll meet with his coordinators to determine a course of action.

 

Grumble grumble...hopefully Pettine asks for a solid FA signing.

Remember that Goodwin is also our primary KO returner. His absence made TJ go out there and he bobbled the kickoff in the mid 4th quarter which required him to take it out and get tackled inside the 15.

 

Good point and it's too risky to put McKelvin back there because if he gets injuried, we are beyond screwed.

Not exactly. TJ dropped the ball 7 yards deep, then made a conscious decision to take it out, then he stopped on the 2, then he realized he had better start running.
