Bangarang Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 @caplannfl #Bills are going to release OL Colin Brown, source said. Marrone doesn't mess around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Why? What's the point? What is our better option? This is a stupid move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 He hinted in his presser that, at the very least, Legursky was going to take the starting job, but I think taking it one step further is a good move. Why? What's the point? What is our better option? This is a stupid move. Legursky did much better on Sunday, and I think there's reason to believe we can find something better than the absolute worst guard in the league.

Bangarang Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Why? What's the point? What is our better option? This is a stupid move. A refrigerator from Home Depot is a better option to have on the line than Colin Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 He has graded out as the worst OL in the league. No reason to keep him around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Marrone doesn't mess around. Colin Brown is not an NFL caliber OL. I applaud the team for acknowledging this and moving on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt in KC Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I know I don't have the whole story, but based on what I do know, this is a mistake. I've never bought into the whole "addition by subtraction" line I hear so often. I can accept Legursky is better than Brown (though I was traveling and haven't seen most of the game yet). But, who is backing up Legursky who is better than Brown? Not having a backup, and risking playing someone even worse that Brown, is not something I can endorse.

HurlyBurly51 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Why? What's the point? What is our better option? This is a stupid move. The point is that Brown doesn't belong on an NFL roster. Legursky is the starter, and they picked up a backup guard last week. Bye-bye Colin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Since the Bills are in a total rebuild, they had to cut Colin Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until they invent a refrigerator with revolving doors, this is true. But, who is backing up Legursky who is better than Brown?

BuffaloBill Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 This staff makes some really interesting moves after the fact. However, it calls into question their decisions to begin with. This one is kind of an "oh-well" but he was supposed to be "next man up" not next man out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJallDAY Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 They can literally sign anyone off a practice squad and they will be a better swing guard.. the only series Brown played sunday he gave up a 4 yrd loss on a 1st down run then a sack on 2nd. He's turrible and has been all yr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSBill Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) if Brown is released, that certainly that opens the door for Antoine McClain, unless there is someone on another practice squad they have had an eye on?

DJasper Probincrux III Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 this is the kind of stuff where the local "journalists" piss me off. Who are we bringing in? Got a source with the team?

GG Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Why? What's the point? What is our better option? This is a stupid move. Brown is not NFL caliber G. You could smell this move as soon as they grabbed McClain. One week to get acclimated to the offense and he'll be backing up Legurski in Miami.

GG Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Maybe Antoine McClain has shown something in practice? It was foreshadowed. You don't bring in a guard by cutting a tackle. This was pretty much telegraphed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufcomments Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 A refrigerator from Home Depot is a better option to have on the line than Colin Brown.

mousetrap08 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Maybe the Bills feel that McClain who they got off waivers last week is going to be a better guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Damn you Marrone!!! I was looking forward to Brown shattering the record for all time worst grade in a season by PFF...woukd have been an untouchable record....oh well, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewildrabbit Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Why? What's the point? What is our better option? This is a stupid move. How many games does it take you to see how much worse this guy can play? All I can say is HOLY CRAP this guy is bad, negative -24 after 3 games wasn't bad enough? Just to put that number in perspective Jeff Tuel (deer in headlights) only graded at -5 by throwing turf balls in that Cleveland game. Or another perspective is that CB Justin Rodgers allowed 74% of the Jets passing, along with 2 TD's and Brown graded out worse. "The Buffalo Bills offensive line is about to get significantly better going forward, as the Bills have decided to cut ties with LG Colin Brown, who might have been the worst starting offensive lineman in the NFL. " http://nflspinzone.com/2013/10/15/buffalo-bills-finally-release-colin-brown/ It really is upsetting that most every Bills fan knew how good LG Andy Levitre was as he graded as last seasons best O lineman. When they chose to let Andy leave in free agency the Bills they just didn't have a proper contingency plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Ouch Thomas Welch is the swing tackle right now.....scary times folks......Anyone have any info on Chris Hairston's status?

thewildrabbit Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Do they bring back Sam Young? FAAA, err ...Heck no!!
