Kirby Jackson Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 It makes some sense. We are working on assembling the slowest team in the league. He'd be a nice addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bills Detective Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 It makes some sense. We are working on assembling the slowest team in the league. He'd be a nice addition. Would you prefer it Beane put together a team like Al Davis used to do: sign/draft whoever has the fastest 40 time, regardless of actual SKILL?

Big Gun Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Do you think it is possible that Brandon Spikes could draw some interest from the Bills? I know he wasn't known to be a great cover guy but I always liked his leadership and toughness. He didn't seem to fit in with Rex's team but he is a FA and I'm sure he could still ball better than some of the guys we have on our roster.

NoSaint Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Perfect fit for schwartz terrible fit for McD Kind of underscores that we aren't just falling straight back into the scheme just because we are back to 43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When everyone else gets smaller and faster we should get bigger and slower. The whole league is built on speed and short area quickness. Why would we want a guy that is the EXACT opposite of that? Spikes is a dinosaur in today's NFL (although the was a good leader and ambassador for the city). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spikes is a dinosaur in today's NFL (although the was a good leader and ambassador for the city). Didn't we just trade a guy who fits this exact same profile but is younger? And for youth we got back in the trade: Absolutely nothing. Wait a year. Then not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I kind of liked the Ragland trade. That may prove to be wrong but I am good with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
