Albany,n.y. Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 It's Freddie Smith. There is no longer any need for Smith on the roster, since Parrish is a direct upgrade on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to figure the Bills won't carry 7 WRs (Moulds, Lee, Aiken, Reed, Smith, Parish)...but will they carry 6? It will be interesting to see how it shakes out in camp.

He's done more in ONe year that Reed has in three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark VI Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Could be. Also, Sam Aiken does zero for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffOrange Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 We spent a 2nd round pick to replace Freddie Smith? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no longer any need for Smith on the roster, since Parrish is a direct upgrade on him. 316106[/snapback] You mean "not so fast" Freddie Smith? I couldn't believe his nickname was "fast" when he almost got caught from behind by a FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDH Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Nah I think fast Freddie will make the cut this year.

Bill from NYC Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Could be. Also, Sam Aiken does zero for me. 316358[/snapback] Agreed Mark but I like him on STs and we already lost Prioleaux from a strong unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say Reed is up against it, and it's more likely that FF and Parrish will be back on punts together and Parrish will be in the slot and Reed will be elsewhere.

But how many undersized WR's can the team carry? If FF and Parrish can't play anywhere but the slot, Reed still could make the team due to his (marginal) ability to play outside.

The question is, if Reed is gone, who will fill the void in the PAC (passes almost caught) department? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that a little worrisome as well. But we've got a lot of depth at the slot position...Reed, Parrish and FF. Seems unbalanced to me. Could the TH for Calico rumor have some legs?

BillsGuyInMalta Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Reed or Aiken gets shown the door, Fast Freddie bought himself a 2nd year with some great special teams play and his willingess to be versatile in terms of what Mularkey wants from him. If I had to make the call right now, I'd cut Aiken and let Josh have ONE more year. Aiken is living off a reputation he had back in college...he hasnt delivered squat in the NFL.

You know, looking at the roster, the lack of a big outside backup for EM or LE really jumps out: http://buffalobills.com/team/roster.jsp?order_by=pos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess it surprises me how few options we have if EM or LE miss any apreciable time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Could the TH for Calico rumor have some legs? 316657[/snapback] To me it makes some sense. Mark posted yesterday that maybe Moulds might be a cap casualty next year and Parrish might enable that. To me, Parrish and Moulds play two totally different positions. However, Calico, if healthy, is a big, fast receiver with the ability to get over the top of a defense, as Moulds is, or at least was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not reported anywhere and on Titans boards they arent even talking about Henry as an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
