marck Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I just heard on ESPN SportsCenter that the Houston Texans have released Aaron Glenn. Normally I am very much against all the "sign who ever has been released" type of threads, but in this case I feel that a one year free agent contract could benefit the Bills. First of all he can be used as a quality cover corner for the three receiver sets the Bills will see. He has always had man-up cover skills and would be better then Kevin Thomas and would be a great insurance policy against injury. Lastly, we do play the Texans the first game of the year and anything he might be able to add about their playbook and tendencies. As always, looking for quality football related feedback.

BuckeyeBill Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 If we could afford him, I'd say that would be a very solid pick-up. Kinda like the Lawyer Milloy deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milloy was able to get a sack that game and his presence really motivated our team in that victory. Glenn could be that guy to help get this team off the ground with a win in the first game of the season. Remember, he also used to play for the Jets. I also don't think we will sign him.

Would rather have McGee and Thomas getting the playing time than him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if actually have enough cap room to sign someone like Glenn, I'd rather see the Bills use that room use it for a real need -- like OT or DT.

They are quality nickel-backs, but will be a weakness if they are starting corners. I fear, with the loss of Pat Williams, whoever plays the corner position opposite of Clements is going to get tested often...hopefully they are up to the task. I actually like Thomas better in that spot...if I had to choose between the two... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything Pat's depatrure means teams will try running more on us. Besides, he didn't play many a lot of passing downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROCCEO Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I have a feeling that people will be surprised by what they see from McGee at corner by mid to late this season at the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall Williams and Adams busting up the middle on a number of occasions last season, forcing quick or errant passes. Without that kind of pressure, adequate defensive backs can be made to look worse than they are...hopefully Anderson picks up some slack, or Jerry Gray devises some scheme that results in more pressure from our linebackers.

ROCCEO Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I remember Ron Edwards being a significantly larger pass rushing force than Phat Pat last year. Although it remains to be seen if he can be nearly as stout against the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
