Tipster19 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 There was no mention that I saw on BuffaloBills.com or Bills Daily. Why is it that a national paper has the information faster than our own local sources? PS Does anybody know anything about this player? Thanks.

Been aroun a long time, here is a link to his NFL stats http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/12611 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Don't know why really. He used to be a Pro Bowl player for San Fran, but couldn't cut it in "Big D" where they actually needed safety help. Unless he's coming in to accept a backup role to Whitner & Simpson, along with playing special teams, he won't sign with us. He'd be an upgraded version of Matt Bowen and maybe an insurance policy to the forementioned players as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Not suprised he's familiar with Jauron having played for him from 99-2001. Was really good early in his career, now coming down to the tail end, would provide veteran leadership and a decent backup to whitner simpson.

JimBob2232 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I think we are fairly thin at safety, especially if Wire is playing LB. Simpson and Whitner look to be really good, but we still need depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I thought the "Wire Experiment" was just for last season? He's still playing LB this upcoming year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeF Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Not really worth investing a draft pick when we have 3 young safeties. A vet would be nice. Appears to be a great fit who can provide Simpson, Whitner and Leonhard with some veteran perspective. A lot like Spragan could do for the LB corps.

ans4e64 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I thought the "Wire Experiment" was just for last season? He's still playing LB this upcoming year? Supposedly, we brought in Kevin McCaddem earlier in free agency. Its obvious we need a veteran safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definately not the player he was but he would benefit our young secondary IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it that a national paper has the information faster than our own local sources? PS Does anybody know anything about this player? Thanks. Yes, plenty. Parrish was an all-pro caliber safety playing next to mike brown in chicage. After signing with san fran he was solid but his play deteriorated after a few years. While no longer a star, perhaps not even starting caliber, there is no doubt he would play backup on this team. That said, I would welcome the signing because our safety depth is weak and we would have a veteran backup to help mentor the youngsters. If we dont sign him, oh well, just gonna have to draft a 2nd day safety i guess. If this report is true then my guess is that we will be signing him "on the cheap" which will make everybody happy.

If this report is true then my guess is that we will be signing him "on the cheap" which will make everybody happy. I'd rather have a veteran with his best days behind him than another draft pick allocated toward the defensive backfield. The more picks the better and another spent on a DB just seems ridiculous, especially if they've targeted a CB for depth purposes. We've got three safeties on the roster. And all of them are young (see less than 2 years in the league) Perhaps Troy Vincent would come back as the DB coach. Well, maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Exactly. Leonard is the only backup with Wire shifting to a backup LB. We need depth at safety. Clearly Wire is on this team for ST...no? (Although some question his REAL value to the ST, I'll trust Bobby April and Co on that.) Whatever hole he can help fill (or open) on the defense is a bonus (or HUGE negative).
