Acantha Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Certainly not what I had in mind when thinking about Free Agents, but it's solid move. I wasn't very comfortable with Parrish at 3. I really hope Everett can be a target, cause right now we have what we need at the playmaker positions. NOW...THE LINE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 YIPPEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you think this signing will have any impact on the Moulds situation? 625404[/snapback] My guess is that the Bills were trying to sign a decent WR before unloading Moulds. Otherwise, there's really no reason to sign a FA WR and could have drafted a prospect at a lower cost in R3-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 he is a physical guy who can break huge plays. i think our new OC wants to have a whole bunch of targets out on the field so that we can run or pass from any formation without showing tendencies.

BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 You know, as someone who is a big Andre Davis fan, I'm sure this is going to come off as biased and cliched, but all this kid really needs is a chance. His entire career he's been stuck with teams that just stuck him in a rotation and never made his role clear to him...but every place he's gone he's shown tremendous ability and found ways to produce. Ask Browns fans and they'll tell you he was easily their most explosive receiver. Ask Patriots fans and even when he was low on the pecking order behind established Pats WRs like Givens, Brown and Branch...he still found a way to contribute AND still be a great special teams stud. He's still young, oodles of talent and a very likeable player...a good addition to the team. We'll see if this has any bearing on Moulds situation.

Especially on a team like the Browns who didn't have great WRs. When he's not breaking big plays he must be doing something wrong. Bad route runner? Doesn't block? I don't know. As a slot WR I guess it can't be too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jokeman Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Was Holcomb QBing? 625458[/snapback] Ironically enough, no Kelly wasn't playing those games. As Davis did not play the stretch of games that Holcomb was in at QB in 2004. As here's a link to Davis' 2004 game logs vs Holcomb's 2004 game logs.

Looks like he has the size/speed combo for it, at the very least.... 625478[/snapback] Its a tough call, the problem with Davis is no one has really ever given him a shot at being a starter. When he was with the Browns, they had that idiotic "rotating" WR system that had him start one week, down to the slot the next week, back up to the start the following week, etc...messed him (and the rest of the Browns WRs) up for sure. Davis I think could surprise some people during Training Camp when you see just how fast he is...so, I'm going to say yes, he has all the talent to be a starter in the NFL. Maybe not a #1 but a strong #2 who can outmuscle his way around CBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By that I don't mean he can't do other things, as he shown to be a great Gunner and KR, what I mean is all he runs is fly patterns. That's not to discredit him, as Malta pointed out he is an immensely talented player, he just hasn't been able to put it all together. One thing I do know is if Vernon Davis is in the cards in addition to Andre our ability to stretch the seems would be limitless. Andre is actually a better deep threat then Lee if that's possible, and if you had the duke splitting the seem with Parrish and Moulds underneath it would be a match up nightmare for any defensive coordinator.

Specializes in fly patterns and the 20-yard curl-out. Reminds me of someone else on the roster - Lee Evans. Not that I dislike the signing. I'm just wondering what they're going to do to address the middle of the offense (which happens to be the most important). A TE and a physical slot receiver (sorry Roscoe) are still needed.

LabattBlue Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 If the Bills were so quick to sign Davis, I don't believe he will be their 4th or 5th WR. Therefore, either Moulds is as good as gone or Levy/Jauron are going to make Roscoe go play in the kids zone come training camp. I believe the WR corps will end up something like this on opening day... Evans Davis Parrish Aiken or Smith Posession WR drafted in the 4th or 5th round.

I just have not been that impressed with him as of late. As for drafting a possesion receiver later in the draft, how about Jason Avant? He could be a good find with one of our 3rd round picks.
