JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Let's see... he cut: A DT, a SS, a TE, and a OL. He's signed a DT, a SS, a TE, and... a WR OK, so the WR is to cover in case Moulds gets cut. So I guess we can tell what our next FA signing will be. Hello, Mr Fabini!

JStranger76 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I prefer Runyon, but I'm cool with Fabini. If we get one of the two and someone like Neal, I'd be pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted March 17, 2006 Author Share Posted March 17, 2006 And unfortunately a downgrade at each to boot 632957[/snapback] Well yeah, there is that. But look how far under the cap we are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 And unfortunately a downgrade at each to boot 632957[/snapback] Let's see: Royal is a huge upgrade over Campbell. Royal is a fair receiver but outstanding blocker. Bowen and Milloy. Yes this is a downgrade. Tripplett and Adams. I am not sure this is a downgrade. Adams didn't like to stay at home and was responsible for getting sealed off and letting large cutback runs occur, well that and Crowell who couldn't fight of the center after Adams was out of the play. so I say one is a push, but leaning towards an upgrade, one is an upgrade and one is a downgrade. So we really haven't moved based on that. So 5-11 still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Davis an upgrade over Reed? (can't say Moulds cause he hasn't been released yet) If Davis is Healthy, then yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Davis an upgrade over Reed? (can't say Moulds cause he hasn't been released yet) If Davis is Healthy, then yes 633695[/snapback] Davis is not an upgrade over Reed. Davis had 9 and 16 whole catches the last 2 years. Davis might be an upgrade over Roscoe, but Reed and Davis are two different types of players and not really a comparison. I believe Davis was brought in to replace Aiken anyhow.

apuszczalowski Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 He also did not play a full season without being injured, thats why I said if healthy he is an upgrade over Josh 'just droped a great pass" Reed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about Evans (2 with 48 catches), Roscoe (2 with 15 catches), or Moulds(3 with 81 catches)? Don't even start. And when was Davis hurt last year, only during camp. He was cut for part of the season and only brought back when Brown went down. Get your facts straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Percentage wise the only one in that list that is worse is Roscoe Reed 3 dropped of 35 passes - 91.4% completion Evans 2 dropped of 48 passes - 95.8% completion Roscoe 2 dropped of 17 catches - 88.2% completion Moulds 3 dropped of 84 catches - 96.4% completion As for Davis, he was hurt in the pre season and has said the injury had affected him during the season as he was not playig to 100% (heard this in an interview with him on the radio) I am not trying to bash Reed at all as his play had improved and would have like to have seen him be a WR on this team, but he made alot of drops and was not a dependable receiver since coming into Buffalo. It may have been something mental, that was causing it and he may do better with a new team, too bad he didn't play up to potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot's of receivers drop passes. Reed did good things, like getting a 1st on over 2/3rds of his catches. Hell even Santana Moss had 8 drops last year with 84 catches. By your way of looking at things he sucks. Even that great Steve Smith who was by far the best receiver in the league had 7 drops. So what even he drops a couple, he gets open and he is a solid #3. he is better then Davis by a lot, and he is better then Roscoe, although Roscoe was a rookie, so we'll see.

CircleTheWagons Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 So, after the first week of free agency, our big debate is whether the WR we signed is better that Josh Reed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HurlyBurly51 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Royal is a huge upgrade over Campbell. Royal is a fair receiver but outstanding blocker. 633665[/snapback] Don't know about that. Royal is not even a legitimate starter in this league, whereas Campbell at least made some plays. Don't believe everything Marv tells you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't believe everything Marv tells you. 633889[/snapback] I live in DC, and have seen Royal play, a lot. Trust me Royal is a legit TE, and will help our running game a lot. In fact Royal was the starting TE for the skins last year. That is a team that made the playoffs. They ran a two TE , single back set with Cooley and Royal. Cooley was the HB, and Royal was the true TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
