Typical TBD Guy Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I was looking at the free agent leftovers, and I noticed these two guys are still around. I'm familiar with both of them (insert the usual "i've heard of him! Git er done, Marv!" joke here), so I thought I'd see what the rest of you think of these guys. Lance Johnstone - 10 year vet from the Vikings, 255 lb pass rushing specialist, averages about 7 sacks a season. LaVarr Arrington - 7 year vet from the Skins, major talent but played undisciplined in Greggo's system. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithg Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Lance is too old...we seem to be going for 20 somethings and LaVarr is probably too expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBilliever Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Lavar would be a great addition, but the price tag is through the roof, and I don't think he would get along too well with TKO in the back trying to anchor the end down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are players in their 30's who are still productive in this league. Johnstone is not much older than Denney, by the way... The best teams have a good mix of veterans, rookies, and guys in their primes (20's). As for Arrington, it is absurd to think he's too expensive. Once Moulds is traded, not a single free agent will be too expensive for the Bills. What are we saving all this cap space for anyway??? It doesn't add on to next year. You either use it or lose it. I hope Ralphie and Marv know they can't take this cap space with them into the afterlife I'm looking for more commentary on these two - particularly their on-the-field performance and how they might fit into Jauron's cover-2.

I'm looking for more commentary on these two - particularly their on-the-field performance and how they might fit into Jauron's cover-2. Everything I've heard about Arrington is that he goes out ont he field and does his own thing. He will not play within a system and doesn't follow his assignments. That is the reason given for keeping him on the bench following his injury last season. Of course, this is all based on reports. I don't follow the Skins much and it's pretty impossible to tell if a LB is doing what he is supposed to without knowing the play. That, coupled with the fact that he is asking for 6mil a year, is why he is still a FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
