eball Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 miami, tampa, now arizona...i realize it's just buzz at this point, but who else thinks TD may really be able to pull off a trade that gives the bills another 2nd round pick? if he can do it, it will be one of his best moves as GM. with two #2s, buffalo can find two "immediate impact" players in the draft. i hate to get too excited about the prospects, but it's looking better and better that it will happen.

Tom Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I have a better idea: Trade Travis to the Buc's for Chris Simms.... that way we'd get national coverage from Phil!

MadBuffaloDisease Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Add the Raiders and Panthers into the mix. That's 5 teams, all of whom play in warm weather and on grass, just like Travis wants. That will make a trade easier in terms of not having to worry about nixing the deal. I still say TB is the best option, because it's a situation Travis wants and because the Bucs are out of the division and have a 2nd rounder.

Round 2 picks are no where near sure things (and we as Bills fans should know that by now). So why wouldn't teams start lining up for a deal that would get them a proven runningback that runs like a bull, has a chip on his shoulder and costs dirt cheap.

BuffaloRebound Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Travis Henry is not a Dennis Green-type back. Green goes for the more explosive play-makers at the skill positions. I don't see Green giving up a 2nd rounder for Travis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave mcbride Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Robert Smith explosive? 212302[/snapback] extremely explosive - in his prime, he was one of the fastest running backs in the league, a guy who took it to the house with some frequency. as you may recall, he outran the entire bills defense on opening day in 97 when running for a 78 yard TD.

MRW Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Robert Smith explosive? 212302[/snapback] My recollection of Smith is that he was a real burner and a threat to take it all the way on any play. His issue was that for most of his career he seemed to have a season-ending injury every year. But yeah, Smith was not primarily a power runner.

AKC Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 >>1) He cannot/will not block. ...not a factor for a team without a statue QB Right, other teams in the NFL don't even bother blocking pass rushers from positions other than the OLine because their QBs are so fleet of foot! >>2) He cant even figure out simple pass patterns. ...he's a runningback Oh yeah, I forgot that other teams don't bother throwing the ball to anyone who doesn't wear a jersey in the 80s. >>3) He has been known to cough up the football. ...that was now 3 years ago And of course other teams don't mind that Henry has the CAREER worst fumbles to touches ratio among all active feature backs, about one fumble every 37 carries, putting him "ahead" of even the Ahman Greens and Tiki Barbers. FYI- the great backs like Curtis Martin lose the ball at a rate more like every 75 carries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
