Lori Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Per Mark Gaughan, on the Billboard blog. No surprise. Josh sounded more than ready to move on, believing he might get a shot elsewhere to play in the regular defense instead of just STs. I'm not sure he's right about that, but good luck to a quality guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeF Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Next time I see him in the grocery store I will call him a traitor....(he lives in Cary, NC and I have seen him a couple of times around town....Cary stands for Containment Area for Relocated Yankees by the way)..

MartyBall4Buffalo Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Best of Luck to Stamer. Quality st's contributer, hope he gets a chance elsewhere. The one position where the Bills seem to have good depth is at lb. Best of Luck to Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkiller Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 What can you all tell me about this guy? Obviously I've never heard of him since he's a backup, but clearly he's a quality special teams player. Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks... High effort, wedge buster type who makes a lot of tackles on special teams. Good speed, always in phenomenal condition. Never could crack the rotation as even the fourth linebacker or in goal-line situations. He only played LB when the Bills were truly decimated by injury. Very limited in coverage on D--was exposed some when he hit the field.. just okay against the run. A good guy to have around...but probably not going to contribute a ton on D.

Jeez, sadly, that summerizes a fair amount of the Bills roster in the recent years. The only way is up! I am really excited about the additions to the D-line...if they pan out, I think the defense will be much improved...just like everyone (seems) to know, the offense is built in the trenches, so to is the defense.

Bill from NYC Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Anyone sign Haggan? If so, apologies since I missed it. Good question. I was a big Stamer fan and I wish him well, but Haggan was very good last year on special teams. He also filled in nicely at lb. We need to sign him.

BEAST MODE BABY! Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I thought Haggan looked good on the field last year outside of special teams. A really hard hitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I thought Haggan looked good on the field last year outside of special teams. A really hard hitter. When Haggan was used in redzone packages I thought he played pretty well. Also a valuable st's player. Hopefully he gets re-signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sorry to see him go. GREAT st player. I hope they do sign Haggan. Bills - Levy = ST not as important?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 Im sorry to see him go. GREAT st player. I hope they do sign Haggan. Bills - Levy = ST not as important?? ST not as important, or is is because they don't want to get caught short at LB again? I seem to remember a game last season in which the team ran the nickel for most of the second half, solely because they didn't have enough healthy LBs left. Stamer wanted to play a larger role in the base defense; the team apparently disagreed with his ability to do so. An article linked on the front page a while back, undoubtedly lost when the HD crashed, said he was ready to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Bills - Levy = ST not as important?? Josh is 30 years old and has some mileage on him. I wish him luck, but ST should be filled with young guys you hope to develop...and he just doesn't fit that description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
