Matt in KC Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 You seriously don't think they thought that through? Was it my lead in saying "I know I don't have the whole story" that made you think that? Â There is an argument to be made for "making an example" of non-performers, but more likely, they saw something from McClain and validated Legursky also looked better than Brown. I forgot they brought on McClain, which is most of what I was missing. I think watching him for a week in practice is still a flimsy basis for releasing Brown. Â The Bills promoted OL Mark Asper to the Active Roster and released OL Colin Brown in a flurry of roster moves on Tuesday http://www.buffalobills.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Anyone have any info on Chris Hairston's status? Still circling the practice field at St. John Fisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 3 pages dedicated to the worst OL in the NFL? Let's see if he can surpass the Shawn Powell thread that was dedicated to the release of the worst punter in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Looks like Bills app update is now wonky. I was just notified that Flynn was signed and Meeks went on designated IR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beebes Bubble 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? I'm guessing the hip could be career threatening if it is still giving him trouble..... Â Hairston was placed on the Reserve/Non-Football Illness list before the season and was done for the year at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Brown was over his head and Marrone (former NFL O Lineman) should have seen that early. The Bills should have been gleaning the street free agent and veteran unsigned free agent lists for a replacement. I will not be surprised that the bring in a sign another guard.

MarkAF43 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I'm shocked people are calling it a mistake for releasing him after most of the people here have been ripping on how horrible he's been in every game he's played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KOKBILLS Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Jesus. Marrone don't play. Â That's exactly what I was thinking...The message is pretty clear... Â Mark Asper promoted from PS Â He took the long route through Minnesota and J-Ville to get there...But congrats to Asper for finally making that Draft pick pay off...

YoloinOhio 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. I think he actually graded out as the worst player in the league. They were just waiting on Legursky to give him the heave ho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyHorseAteTheKid Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Mark Asper promoted from PS I have been wondering if he would end up on the roster... Can't be any worse then Brown.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 My first thought was the Langston Walker situation, when they needlessly expelled depth because they didn't want to overpay for a veteran who wasn't going to start. Â But then I realized it's Colin freakin' Brown we're talking about. He's the definition of a replacement-level player. You could sign a guy off of the street who would be no worse than him. And it sounds like they have, and his name is Mark Asper (ironically enough, a guy they drafted and cut before the season a few years back).

Same people that were saying it was a bad move to make Rogers inactive and play Gilmore with a cast. Apparently, coaches thought Gilmore with one hand>Rogers with two hands when it comes to coverage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5 Wide Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Releasing Brown had to happen. When your backup is the worst Guard in the league, then you have no backup. Why not try someone else for depth, if they end up being the worst in the league, then its a lateral move at least. If they end up being the second worst, its an upgrade.

boyst Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Seriously. People are upset I question the move? We didn't address LG in the off season. We did not do anything in regard to LG until this? He knows the playbook and he has played some. Chemistry on the OL is hard to explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
