YoloinOhio Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/05/19/bills-concerned-bryce-brown-wont-catch-up-after-missing-voluntary-work/ I mean, he's five, six weeks behind everyone else. Once he gets here, its going to be hard to slow down and catch him up. Thats one of my biggest concerns, but, you know, he's got the playbook. Hopefully he's taking care of his business and hopefully he'll come in in great shape and we'll see what happens.- Anthony Lynn Edited May 19, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 He's not going to make the roster anyway. This story will soften the blow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big C Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Wonder what family situation has kept him away for 5-6 weeks. Regardless, it looks like Brown is done here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) Well, that's one less guy Freddy needs to worry about in the fight for a roster spot. Makes me wonder if Brown wants out. Edited May 19, 2015 by scribo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elroy16 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I'm kind of surprised McCoy hasn't told his ass to get there, maybe he has. I remember when the Bills traded for Brown, McCoy said Brown would be starting, obviously that didn't come to fruition. Maybe he doesn't want to be here and knows he'll be buried in the depth chart.

eball Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Well, that's one less guy Freddy needs to worry about in the fight for a roster spot. Makes me wonder if Brown wants out. I'm sure he's feeling warm and fuzzy about a trade for the guy he backed up before, a HC who acts like he doesn't know his name, and a draft choice at his position. Oh, and he also has to compete with two fanbase favorites. Bryce loves Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) I believe Rex had trouble recalling Brown's name after Brown hadn't shown up. We just didn't know it yet.rex was surely doing it on purpose as a motivational ploy.... we will see where it goes. this board always gets worked up on guys that miss workouts. sometimes they underachieve, sometimes they are key players that everyone was calling out to be cut before we even get to camp. at RB, if he comes in knowing the verbiage, plays and in shape, its not like he wont catch up nearly immediately if he wants to.

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 It's too bad, since he has potential, and he wasn't as bad as people made him out to be. That said, when you have McCoy, Freddy, Boobie as established vets and now Karlos as a promising rookie project he needed to bring his A game. So far he simply hasn't.

C.Biscuit97 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Brown was one of Whaley's worst moves. Never got the hype. You don't trade draft picks for 3rd string rbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manther Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Well, that's one less guy Freddy needs to worry about in the fight for a roster spot. Makes me wonder if Brown wants out. That was my first thought He meant to be here...but dropped the ball on getting his travel arrangements lined up. LMFAO! Brown was one of Whaley's worst moves. Never got the hype. You don't trade draft picks for 3rd string rbs. I am a big Whaley fan. I don't knock him for the Watkins trade at all. Or any other roster move. But, this looks like a bad trade. Last year and this year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) Pretty simple, I think. He knows he's outta here and doesn't want to risk injury. Really bad trade in retrospect. Edited May 19, 2015 by dave mcbride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big C Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) It wasn't that bad of a trade. Brown's upside was worth the 4th. He is an explosive, low-mileage RB that showed flashes when given the chance to start in McCoy's absence. I think seeing that sort of production in two NFL games is worth more than the typical 4th round choice. And given the struggles of our running game last year, maybe it wasn't all his fault he didn't contribute when called upon. But the insurance he provided warranted the trade since CJ and Fred both went down. If not fot the fumble against KC we could be looking at him differently. But didn't we essentially trade Stevie for him? Does that change anyone's opinion of the trade? Edited May 19, 2015 by Big C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
