#89 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I guess we don't need a WR who can catch the ball. Well we still have Josh and Coy. I thought they were history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABills Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 It's one thing to catch a ball, it's another to actually get open against 1st stringers, catch the ball, block on running plays, etc.... While Drew did a good job against 3rd stringers, Reed really only dropped one pass thrown behind him on a crossing pattern that hit him in the back shoulder. Yeah he probably should have caught it, but that's why he is the #3 / #4 guy not a starter. Haddad fumbled a punt, and was lucky there was a penalty, and he just never had the opportunity to show against 1st stringers or if he did, he was unable to get open.

bobblehead Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Proof positive that TD keeps his draft picks over players who might be better. 430543[/snapback] Paul Hamilton this morning on WGR hinted that Mularkey really wants WR's that can block. I'm not making an opinion, just telling you what I heard. That may be a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ_BillsFan Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Reed's career can be sumed up in one play. The flea flicker his rookie year that he turned around and was standing there. No one was within 20 yards of him. It hit him in the chest and fell to the ground. He sucks!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTS Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Proof positive that TD keeps his draft picks over players who might be better. 430543[/snapback] No shocker there, who was that crap o-lineman he drafted in the 1st round in Pittsburgh that he brought to Buffalo to try and prove everyone he made the right choice. That dude didn't even make the team. He has a history of not admitting to making mistakes. That's why he's the Son of Satan! Bad draftees happen, you can't expect to always be right. I feel bad for Josh Reed because he has the tools, the guy caught every ball thrown to him in his first season but I think he needs a change of scenery. We Bills fans are too brutal. He's our B word boy and will be. As for Coy, he's playing the wrong position. He should be a backup linebacker, which is what he played his whole life.

silvermike Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 It's great he went to UB, and Reed does in fact suck, but it doesn't change the fact that Drew Haddad isn't an NFL player. He has two games in his career. TWO. And one catch to show for it, and a couple of kick returns that average 9.5 yards. That's not punts, and that's terrible. He's also 27 years old, and was drafted in 2000. I'm sorry, but if you catch one ball in your first five seasons, it's time to take a peek up in Canada.

smokinandjokin Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Drew Haddad is a training camp hero who played pretty well against a bunch of other guys who got cut by their teams. It was a local boy feel-good story that the media kept pumping at us. I think Josh Reed will be very adequate in Weeks 1 & 2, and then Roscoe takes over.

San-O Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Name another pass that he dropped Friday night? 430664[/snapback] Oh, Friday night? Only one dropped, then OK. Thought you were referring to the whole preseason. That makes at least one drop every game, and being hit by a pass should also count as a drop.

I bet Evans and Moulds drop a higher percentage then that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical TBD Guy Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Proof positive that TD keeps his draft picks over players who might be better. 430543[/snapback] OK, but Haddad couldn't even beat out George Wilson (an undrafted free agent) for a roster spot. So even if your theory is 100% correct about TD favoring his draft picks (though I thought the coaches were the ones who make the cut decisions), we at least know that Haddad wasn't THAT big of a loss if he couldn't even beat out Wilson. And especially if - as of today - not 1 of the other 31 NFL teams have decided to take a chance on the "can't miss" WR prospect that is Drew Haddad.

PIZ Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 We are not seeing everything that these guys do. Blocking, leadership, personality, etc. Also, alot of people are talking about Gause getting cut. The guy wasn't drafted for a reason. Also, how many training camps has Haddad been in? He keeps getting cut for some reason. I too, thought he looked good, but he also dropped a key pass the other night. And on a running team, like the Bills (and Steelers), you'll see blocking WRs make it over guys like Haddad. Also, wasn't Haddad a Buffalo Bills draft pick? Maybe by Butler, though.
