Signing a street free agent late November fresh off an ACL to start at LT? Smells more like desperation mixed with feet and an old hockey equipment bag to me.

Wet pickle jars.

With the neck issues he had though he might be better off calling it a career.

This. The guy got benched in the second half.

Playoff Poonie?

Thanks for that - I was at that game, I remember it vividly!

Yup, that's the one!

Done! If I had any skill at all I'd post the tweet from Buffalo Bills PR but....

I think it's because of the game being flexed.

I don't doubt it. This will be Brown's third callup, right? So he's gotta be signed to the active roster IIRC.

Thanks for the info! I wondered if it was something like that....

I haven't seen any yet, and by rule they should have been done yesterday by 4:00pm, unless the fact the game was flexed from tomorrow to today impacts that. Anyone know anything about that?

Buffalo's version of that roster move is Tre White's return.

I never follow college ball, but the thing that intrigued me about Allen as the draft process was unfolding was reports of how much improved from the end of the college season to the Senior Bowl after getting some QB coaching in prep for that game. So it made sense that Beane would go after a guy who was raw but showed a pretty good response to competent coaching. Throw in there what they found about his personality, leadership, competitive fire, and willingness to do the work, and I think you start to see what they saw in him that made him the guy in their eyes. Of course we don't know those things until well after the draft, so the reactions make sense to a certain extent.

We've been pretty lucky injury wise the last few years, it was bound to catch up to us, and it appears to have done so. Better early in the season than late IMHO.
