RyanC883 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 bring in Freeman. Have him compete with Tuel for the 3rd QB spot. EJ's durability is concerning to me. Would be another "nothing to loose" signing. If he does well, great, if not, little lost money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Two observations. The Bills now lead the league with guys names Williams. Mario, Kyle, Aaron, Chris, Nathan, Duke and Mike. The Bills seem to be taking more character risky guys. Mike Williams brother just stabbed him in March makes you wonder why. I found this hilarious:Sal Capaccio @SalSports 54m Yes, the Bills have 7 "Williams" on their current roster. They also have 3 Smiths, 2 Johnsons (one is Johnson-Webb), 2 Grahams, and 2 Dixons Sal Capaccio @SalSports 52m ....they also have a Wood and a Woods. So, let the "multiple Johnsons and Dixons and Wood(s)" jokes commence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I think it's interesting that they are going after these hometown kids, like Williams and Graham. It almost makes me wonder if this is intentional, and they think local guys are more likely to come, stay, and buy in/be happy and productive in WNY. Maybe that means they want Mack too for that reason. Bring on John Urschel from Penn State! (Canisius HS grad) Projected 7th rd pick. Sign ed wang ASAP Yep - had they kept Levitre and Wang ever amounted to anything, quite the all-name roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Watching that highlight video on the previous page you can tell he must cut like a knife. Most of his routes I don't see a defender within a few yards of him. EDIT: and I realize I just made an unintentional knife pun about a guy that was stabbed. i've heard that he does. there's another highlight reel I posted a few pages back that shows that even when covered he can make a lot of incredible jump ball catches, even on ones that probably should have been intercepted.

Buftex Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 i've heard that he does. there's another highlight reel I posted a few pages back that shows that even when covered he can make a lot of incredible jump ball catches, even on ones that probably should have been intercepted. I must admit, I have not watched a ton of Bucs football over the last 4 years... my only real awareness of Mike Williams has been through Fantasy Football...but the highlight films have me drooling... size, speed, physical player... we haven't had a guy like that since Moulds.

Not saying I would have no interest in him (I was one of those who really liked the idea when he was cut last season), just that his Minnesota experience was kind of head scratching.

YoloinOhio Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Seems like Freeman's durablity has been a concern too. Not saying I would have no interest in him (I was one of those who really liked the idea when he was cut last season), just that his Minnesota experience was kind of head scratching. I was really turned off by Freeman's cup of coffee in Minn as well, that MNF game was downright scary. I do wonder if there is anything salvageable there from the standpoint of it seems things were mismanaged there and the coach was forced to play him right after he got there when he preferred not to and everything seemed to go downhill, they were paying him a lot but he was inactive, then the coach was fired . Also, the TB situation was convoluted, that HC was also fired and the seemingly leaked his health records. I guess I would not be upset if they signed him to a 1-year deal with low risk $. He hasn't done anything that bad, to my knowledge, and would just serve as a backup. I would certainly feel better with him than Tuel just based on experience and if he had a whole TC to learn the system.

Storm Front Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I remember that Williams used to make Greg Paulus look pretty good when he would leap over defenders to snag errant throws. I don't care what the Bucky at the Buffalo News says, the guy can play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. I'm a sell-out. Interesting... made up?
