Commander Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 When he was with San Diego, Florence intercepted New England quarterback Tom Brady in the playoffs two years in a row. He also can hit like a ton of bricks. Check out the video: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBills12 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I like this pick up as well. We def. have great DB's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KollegeStudnet Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Alot of analysts were shocked the Jags gave up on him so fast...Merril Hoge loved this free agent pickup...he considered Florence an upgrade over departed Greer... Eventhough I love Greer and wish him the best in N.O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Man I forgot about this signing. Makes the draft event hat more puzzling. How many DBs does one team need anyway? Don't get me wrong I'm all for bringing in guys like this, but how about drafting some help for the defensive line as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventhough I love Greer and wish him the best in N.O. He missed a lot of tackles and was burned plenty in his time in SD. Also, a penalty magnet. His hicglights do not forgive his inconsistancy. I don;t like him, hope he gets cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like him, hope he gets cut. I like him as a depth guy if he is the nickel back and a back up for the free safety spot. In San Diego he seemed to play really well in spot starts and as a role player. I have only seen him play in the playoffs and a few games but from what I saw and from what I hear on scouts reports ect he seems to be a guy who if he starts for a long period of time he gets exposed but if he plays a game or two he works out well and if he plays in a role he plays well. But yeah as a starter for a long period of time he shows the warts in his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong I'm all for bringing in guys like this, but how about drafting some help for the defensive line as well? Our DB's seem to get hurt often. Greer and Youboty were out for a long time last year. Never hurts to have depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong I'm all for bringing in guys like this, but how about drafting some help for the defensive line as well? I agree but some people see Nic Harris as a S and not a LB. Florence was very good in SD and crashed in Jerksonville. Off course Greggo was his coach. I wouldn't be surprised to see him excel in the nickel role.

Commander Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 Lets hope that this isn't what we end up seeing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtz0l-PHsyQ...feature=related No, I don't think we'll see LT knocking him backwards in what is basically a non-contact scrimmage! He does seem to make more mistakes than I'd prefer, which is why I wouldn't want him as a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zazie Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I don't like your grammar or spelling. I hope you don't get to post more. although grammer-wise you are right, apologies. I tend towards a pidgeon-english which is much more understandable in some places, but not proper English. So, I will try to do better in the grammer department thanks for pointing it out. As for spelling, generally the issue is typos, I can spell properly. Best of luck, maybe I WILL get banned from more postings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect him to have atleast 5 picks this year just mainly from the NCB role. With Youboty on the field in the dime, our defensive backfield should be down right nasty.

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I wouldn't be shocked if Florence is starting day one, actually. McKelvin was exceptional for a rookie last year, but Jauron doesn't like to give jobs to young players unless he has to, or unless they've earned it. Leo will have to come into camp and prove he's the better player in order to start. If they're about the same, Florence probably gets the nod, at least early in the season.

Thoner7 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 There is a reason Florence was let go by the Chargers -- and it was not just Cromartie. The Chargers never let a good player walk away, but they let Florence walk away. The Jags then cut him after one year. I dont know their reasoning, but I dont expect much from him with McKelvin, McGee, Youboty, and Corner on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong I'm all for bringing in guys like this, but how about drafting some help for the defensive line as well? if the D-lineman at those spots suck, do you draft out of need ni rounds 6 or 7? or do you take the best player available, even if that happens to be a position ofs trength on your squad? a 6 and 7 round DB is not a big deal. the lineman at that point are non impactive. just look at the bills history of "late round" lineman: tyrone roberts, lauvale sape, dyland mcfarland, aaron merz, cj ahou... you get teh pooint. take the best player at those points in late rounds - dont draft on need... http://www.pro-football-reference.com/draft/buf.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
