PDaDdy Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Where are all of the geniuses that ran these guys out of town because they thought the Oline was the reason why Edturds stunk. Great job! We are in much better shape now. I'm sure Ralph appreciates your support of his decision to pinch some pennies, save some money and keep us WAY under the cap.
Peter Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Cornell Green makes Langston look like a 10 time pro bowl player. Jason already is a pro bowl player, but many people (not me) on this board hate him (even though some want Ron Mexico on the Bills).
The Senator Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Um, we're right here... Jason Peters: Peters down again, this time with knee injury Eagles LT Jason Peters left Sunday's game against the Lions for a second time with an apparent knee injury, but is expected to return. Peters is like the boy that cries wolf. He keeps going down in a heap, screaming in pain, and then getting back up. It fits with his reputation. Sep. 19 - 1:51 pm et
DanInUticaTampa Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Peters and walker couldn't save this line.... though walker is probably more servicable than green for sure. I understand buddy not seeing the future of the bills QB and linewise in the draft, but he should have signed more/better stop gap players because green and edwards shouldn't be starting. And if you watched the miami/vikes game, it seems like we should have kept incognito, at least for depth purposes.

SwampD Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Yeah, another "Where are all the ...." thread. God,.. and it's only week freakin' two.
Roc Bronson Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Peters was one of my favorite players and living in South Jersey expose you to a lot of Eagles supporters. I told them they was getting a great addition to there team with Peters, funny how half of them refuse to speak to me now! Peters went from great to decent he is nowhere near the same LT he was with us. But I still can't understand the Walker situation but then again who can understand anything with the Bills anymore!
apuszczalowski Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Walker and Dockery were decent linemen, but they were overpaid and that led to Bills fans wanting them gone. And if we can't refer to Lynch as a Pro Bowler, why can we refer to Peters as one?
transient Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Jason Peter's game left town with his humility, his work ethic, his diet, and Jim McNally.

Great job! We are in much better shape now. I'm sure Ralph appreciates your support of his decision to pinch some pennies, save some money and keep us WAY under the cap. We got a first rounder for Peters, and with us still being a few years out from playoff contention I think it was a good move to get a young first round OL with a good attitude unlike Jason "me first" Peters. From what I hear he isn't playing up to his salary and that we got the better of that trade. And Langston is out of football I think.
Thoner7 Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Releasing Walker may be the dumbest move by this team this decade (well, other than the Maybin pick). Here is a guy who allowed like 1 sack the year before, and was a darn good run blocker. Nothing special but guy you never really had to worry about. Then they go move him to LT, and everyone and their mother new he couldn't play LT. After the entire training camp and 4 preseason games, the Bills coaches realized what the average fan picked up on before it even happened. Then, instead of moving him back to RT - where there was a huge ????? - they cut him. Thus leaving us with no Tackles instead of 1. Pure genius.

They cut him cause he couldn't run the no huddle offence. He wasn't able to keep up and get back to the LOS. What made it such a horrible move was that they then quickly scrapped the no huddle

(Or any of the Eagles' faithful.) What a great trade the Bills made - a washed up lazy fat dude wanting a $60M payday, for Eric Wood and Shawn Nelson! Edited October 10, 2010 by The Senator

Great job! We are in much better shape now. I'm sure Ralph appreciates your support of his decision to pinch some pennies, save some money and keep us WAY under the cap. Peters is fat, lazy, injury prone, overpaid POS and is Walker even starting anymore? Do you really think the O-line would be better with these guys? Come on man, take a whiff of what you are shoveling. The line was BAD when these guys were here..it wasn't all the QB. After Edwards went down the line still played like s hit.

We are in much better shape now. I'm sure Ralph appreciates your support of his decision to pinch some pennies, save some money and keep us WAY under the cap. Let's see: Russ Brandon is still in the Bills front office (although with a vastly reduced role), and I believe Dick Jauron is now the DBs coach in Philadelphia. You were talking about the gentlemen who actually decided to trade one player and release the other, weren't you? Brandon talking about Peters: “Here’s a player that we brought in as a undrafted free agent, we developed, we signed to an over-market contract,” Brandon said. “And the one misnomer in that contract was, he had an escalator clause if he would ever move to left tackle. He was not making bottom money at all. He was paid very handsomely. And we told Jason – I personally told Jason – that we would not renegotiate his contract with three years left on it, because he was not our priority. Lee Evans was our priority. I said, ‘You come back to camp, and once we get Lee done, you become a priority.’ The day that we signed Lee, I had him come to my office, and I said, ‘You are now the priority.’ We worked on that for five or six months, and we offered Jason an enormous contract – the largest contract in Bills history – and he had no interest in it. None. That was right at the conclusion of the season. “From our standpoint, history is the greatest predictor. We felt very strongly that Jason was not going to come back to camp, was not going to participate, and we were going to be in the same situation. And we felt as an organization that we should not do that to you the fans, and to our organization. Coach Jauron mentioned the word cohesion on the offensive line It’s the most important part of our operation, the cohesion in that line. And with that type of atmosphere, you don’t have that cohesion. “Quite frankly, I was somewhat stunned when you look at some of the trades that happened in the offseason, with Matt Cassel and Mike Vrabel going for a second-rounder and some of the other moves that were made. When that first-rounder came available, along with a few other picks, we felt it was the right move, and we were able to do some things along the offensive line. We think we have the offensive line together now for the next five to seven years, if some of our draft picks pan out the way we anticipate they will.”
