26CornerBlitz Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 @RapSheet The #Eagles agreed to terms with former #Bills S Corey Graham on a one-year contract. @caplannfl Graham played 1 season under Jim Schwartz with #Bills in 2014. Knows this defense well. Started all 16 games that season. Very durable DB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87168 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Good signing. Quite a collection of ex bills over there Schwartz recognized the talent and abilities of the players on the roster at the time, and obviously still does. He made that defense one of the top performing in the league with only 1 or 2 "name brand" players. I respect that. He didn't come in saying he needs this type of player for this type of scheme...he built around present talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Who even wants to call him at this point? I'd take him back on a minimum contract if he wants one last shot. You never can have enough pass rushers. And good for Graham. He was really good his first couple of years for him. I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 why not get Aaron Williams on a min contract for 1 yr? doesn't seem like he has any other options. he gets hurt again so what, we were going to go with Poyer anyhow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't say Rex did a good job building a D around the talent he had. And yeah, I agree, Schwartz did a great job. Well, the talent that he did have was a perfect fit for his scheme. A front four that could dominate Yes, sir. Schwartz had good players for the D he wanted to run. Schwartz has a mixed record as a defensive coach. He shined in Buffalo because he had the right players for his kind of defense. I hope Corey does well reuniting with him.

BobbyC81 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Surprised someone didn't sign him sooner. Good luck. I understand signing someone after you've had a few days of training camp and identity any shortcomings but it was weird that the Bills made those roster moves a couple days before camp.

That's something to ponder in why McD felt better about bringing Rambo back and not Corey. Both probably got vet minimum deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackOrton Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 That's something to ponder in why McD felt better about bringing Rambo back and not Corey. Both probably got vet minimum deals. Graham and Rambo both had their struggles at S but I think Graham just doesn't have the legs anymore. His decline was swift from playing CB just 3 years ago for us.

frostbitmic Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Nobody was very good on defense last year, I chalk it up to the Ryan brothers, Brandon and Whaley circus. Used part time, I could see Graham having a better season. Thankfully the tents have come down and the circus has moved out of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcoam Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I can't argue Graham's play declined at the end of the season last year however it should be noted he was still rated as our best secondary player in 2016 and having played better than either of Hyde and or Poyer So if you want to create a narrative that Graham was finished, fine, what does that say about the players who have replaced him, that in 4 years of NFL experience neither approached the level of play Graham was at, and was even worse than Graham at his worst? Just saying.....I will miss Graham jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmur66 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Corey Graham is from Buffalo and always wanted to play for the Bills. The dude had heart and never quit. I was disappointed and didn't understand why they didn't keep him, especially being thin at the position. I am glad he got picked up somewhere.

Philly got a great deal. Yeah they certainly did. Philly's defense improved last year, went from 28th in 2015 to 12th in 2016 under Schwartz from what I remember.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 That's something to ponder in why McD felt better about bringing Rambo back and not Corey.
