JM57 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 You only know one side of the story. Get a clue. Richie is a mean SOB, and personally I think we need more mean SOB's. Don't let the door hit you in the a** you quoted the wrong person... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwight in philly Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 buh bye. 1000 more to take your place once the Pegs-n-Rex era begins. No quarter. not in high school anymore. Go beat up on people, within the rules of course. I would love to have the rep of being the "new Raiders". Jonathan Martin needs to focus on his yoga and piano lessons. me too!.. finally a team with balls, grit.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Wagon Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 People might (or might not) be surprised to learn how much of the league views Johnathan Martin as the guy who broke the code of the locker room. Richie is viewed as an ahole, but he's surprisingly respected among players as he works hard and has his teammates back. I expect we'll go after Iupati to lock down the LG spot and have competition among a few for the RG spot. Signing Richie will make headlines, but unless he's better than guys like Urbik and Richardson, he's not coming anywhere near the final roster.

Fadingpain Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 me too!.. finally a team with balls, grit.. meh. The guy would be 285 lb. if he was in shape and he is not a top tier Guard. He's got lots of pretty flame tattoos on his arms though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick the Greek Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 What would you say if I told you rex was gonna bring in the ultimate bully... Incognito? How did you know this was happening? Do you have access to inside info? Damn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Because he was average at best before a nearly 2 year gap between games and turning 32- theres fairly a reason to question it Props to the op though But...... Pro: his dad was caught joining Dolphins boards to fight with people that criticized him I think, at best, you can say his current skill level is "unknown." But I don't think anyone can say he is "done." 32 is not old for a guard. And I see no downside to signing him and seeing if he is any good.

eball Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Out of curisioty, Would this be your response if say the pats* were considering signing him? Pc correct primadonnas? Really? here on TBD? if he makes the team and becomes a Bill that contributes then great. remember when he was a bIll last time? yea, he wanted out. was it the FO,or was it money related? I just hope Whaley keeps the checkbook and guarnteed money low for an Old guard out of the game for quite awhile. he was making around 1.5 mil in 2012 i believe. So he ain't no Chris Williams. Lol Any ways cheers to the op for the news! I've learned not to criticize what the Pats* do, personnel wise. Anyway, I see this move as being "risky" only in the sense of perception. If he pans out it as shrewd as hell; if not, he is cut quietly and everyone moves on. I have little patience for the "high and mighty" crowd who don't think he deserves another chance.

JohnC Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 What I like more than the signing of Incognito (have major doubts about him )is that this organization isexploring all avenues to get better. If he doesn't work out, what is lost? You can't hit on a longshot ifyou don't take a longshot. I never liked Incognito and his volatile and raging behavior. But I do believe in redemption, even for people who many consider a lost cause. Whether he ends up on the Bills or another team I hope he gets his turbulent life in order.

Bronc24 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Incognito's behavior in Miami was despicable. If this is what Ryan and Pegula want's to build in Buffalo, I'll be looking for a new team. Sayonara Señorita. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Front Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) If the Bills can get RI to visit some schools to talk about bullying, the media and fans will begin to change their tune about the guy. He has a chance, perhaps his last, to redeem his reputation and his career. Edited February 7, 2015 by Bilbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris heff Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I'm not a fan of Incognito, he's a punk. However, there is about 1800 players in the NFL. There is always going to be bullies, racist, homophobes and criminals. It is going to be up to his teammates and management to control his ignorance.

bigK14094 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Incog was an ah when he was here, and was in Miami. No room here for such a head case. The only saving grace ,if he is here, is that E Wood is his ";friend" and might be able to mitigate the carnage Richie will bring to the team.

KOKBILLS Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I'm all for second chances...People can change...Even meat-head bullies... That being said it all depends what player you're going to get...He'll be 32 when the season starts...He's been out of football for well over a year...His best season was 2012, but his play dropped for those 8 games in 2013... Looking at the Bills OG play from 2014 it's easy to assume that Incognito would bring a large upgrade, but I'm uncertain that will actually be the case...Expecting a 32 year old OG to come in and make a huge impact is a bit of a stretch...That being said, what can it hurt? Assuming the guy has learned his lessons of course... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 As far as the Jonathan Martin story goes, go read the 3,000+ texts that the two exchanged... If Martin felt bullied, he never, ever, ever came close to expressing that to Incognito. And yes, he's still a jerk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I dont hate the move, and am definitely not "done with this team" about it. Eric Wood was buddies with him and I think he and Roman and Rex can keep Richies... "energies" focused in the right direction. And as others have said, with basically the worst OG crew already, we have nothing to lose. Another bold move by Whaley, should be interesting to see what else he and Rex do together.

Doc Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Except he insulted the team and the city while going out the door the last time. But that's okay. I'm sure Buffalo's a much more attractive location for him now. Brandon Spikes did the same. Yea- how he presented it wasn't the most trustworthy sounding but we've seen stranger prove true. In this case, the guy nailed it. And agree on Richie. He was a serviceable guard that's now 32 and will be 2 years removed from action come september- one of those years with no team/support staff to keep him in shape. I don't think we can pencil this in as filling a hole as much as simply getting another option to try to fill it. Which is something teams need to do. He's got 6 months to get into shape before TC and then all of TC and pre-season to get into game shape. And it also means he hasn't had wear and tear on his body for the past 1-1/2 years. People might (or might not) be surprised to learn how much of the league views Johnathan Martin as the guy who broke the code of the locker room. Richie is viewed as an ahole, but he's surprisingly respected among players as he works hard and has his teammates back. I expect we'll go after Iupati to lock down the LG spot and have competition among a few for the RG spot. Signing Richie will make headlines, but unless he's better than guys like Urbik and Richardson, he's not coming anywhere near the final roster. That's the sense I got. Sounded like Martin wanted to be Ritchie's friend, it got to be too intense for him after he started to suck on the field, and he went public. I'd rather it didn't happen, but I don't see it happening again. meh. The guy would be 285 lb. if he was in shape and he is not a top tier Guard. He's got lots of pretty flame tattoos on his arms though. He made the Pro Bowl in 2012. And I highly doubt that was a popularity choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
