Willis990 Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 The bigger issue: How are a 50 year old shawn springs and some sh------- 2nd year CBs going to cover both Owens and Evans? Or are you guys just gonna pump Springs with HGH like you did with harrison, seau, vrabel, bruschi, etc. I take it you believe that no one on the Bills has used or is on performance enhancing drugs. I know they didn't have a good year but please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willis990 Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Harrison: 6-0, 175Wayne: 6-0, 198 Owens: 6-3, 226 One of these things is not like the others ... Are you serious talking about height????????????????? Oh yea and I forgot about Manning, just one of the best QB's to ever play the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Are you serious talking about height????????????????? Oh yea and I forgot about Manning Absolutely serious. So is Belichick. Why else would he have signed 6-0 and 6-1 corners today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I don't have a problem at all with TO and Evans being properly contained but NE* or anyone's DBs. If so, that almost certainly means someone (Reed, Hardy, etc.) is open underneath and Lynch is finally not facing 8 or 9 guys in the box on every friggin run. The problem we've had for years is with no legitimate 2nd WR - Evans is double covered. The #2 is single covered. And 8 guys are at the line breaking up the underneath passes or run game. I'd love to see TO or Evans routinely single covered. But, if not, then maybe Lynch finally has some room to roam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willis990 Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Absolutely serious. So is Belichick. Why else would he have signed 6-0 and 6-1 corners today? Bodden and Springs were in the week before Owens was signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock'em Sock'em Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 How does that compare to Randy Moss (69-1008)? Or Evans (63-1017)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kota Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 He played w. a QB that had not played since HS. The Patriots offense played very conservatively for the first part of the season and then opened up as Cassell became more confident. TO also had a 60 year old QB named Brad Johnson throwing to him for 4 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ans4e64 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Are you serious talking about height????????????????? Oh yea and I forgot about Manning, just one of the best QB's to ever play the game Also, Owens has about 30lbs on both of them, along with the 2 to 3 inches of height.

Lori Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Bodden and Springs were in the week before Owens was signed. And left town without a contract the first time? And got a callback after that? Hmmmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flbillsfan#1 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I take it you believe that no one on the Bills has used or is on performance enhancing drugs. I know they didn't have a good year but please. The Bills are not populated by OLD MEN on their last legs that suddenly look like they are 28 years old again when they join the Pats* (Seau, Harrison...........On & On) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Quint Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Bodden and Springs were in the week before Owens was signed. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3968052 Springs was signed last week. The taller Bodden was signed after we signed TO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 This is the bigger issue: Owens finished 2008 with fewer catches (69) and yards (1,052) than any other season this decade. He is clearly on the decline. I'd look at the WR playing opposite TO last year before making that claim... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VOR Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Bodden was definitely signed with TO in mind. Springs was done before TO was a Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizell Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 owens has always been among the league leaders in drops. that being said, i'll take it for what he brings to the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Frank Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Considering that he had Brooks Bollinger and 9,000 year old Brad Johnson throwing him the ball for a number of games, are you surprised that his stats declined? Romo probably wasn't healthy when he returned to the starting lineup, either. I have been waiting for 2 days for someone to post this...nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
