C.Biscuit97 Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 did you have to pee on the parade???? That's some posters' role. If anyone ever dares to be positive about the team, they must step up and try their best to kill that hope. Sounds like a great way to spend your time.
McD Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 I've always heard that the way to the Super Bowl is to be able to spot journeyman players that other teams don't want. Sweet! I always enjoy some good sarcasm, and I don't disagree, BUT... you'll never strike gold without panning for it. This guy might be fodder or he might be a HUGE piece to this team. No better way to find out than trying him out. I mean 6' 7" 275lbs?? DAMN!
Chandemonium Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 Yeah that Nix is a genius when it comes to picking up fringe players off practice squads! How did that Merriman "steal" work out? I've always heard that the way to the Super Bowl is to be able to spot journeyman players that other teams don't want. Sweet! How did that Steve Tasker steal work out?
John from Riverside Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 This is why I like Nix....we see eye to eye on how to run a football team..... This team SERIOUSLY needs a TE who can actually block......the difference between a 2 yard gain and a 30 yard gain on the ground has a lot to do with someone making one key block down the field that allows a runninger like CJ Spiller to get into open space..... and of course Freddie Jackson
BillsRUs Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 I'm just happy he was awake long enough to realize they needed a TE. LOl ..i can imagine how that went prob went down. Chan: Buddy wake up! Nix: Ehhh? Whaat? Chan: We need a TE. Nix: Ehhh? What? Chan: TE! Nix: Ehh? Tea? Yes please. Chan: No. We need you to find us a tight end! Nix: Ehh? Tight end? Did you try Ex-lax? Chan: No No. We need you to sign us a tight end. Nix: Ehh! Well why didn't you say so?!
pBills Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 Bills claim waived Cowboys TE So the Bills: 1. Tried to sign TE Rucker off the Cowboys practice squad 2. Cowboys respond with an offer to put Rucker on active roster, which he accepts 3. To make room, the Cowboys waive TE Chandler, with the intent of placing him on practice squad, essentially intending to swap roster spots between Rucker and Chandler 4. Chandler was a draft pick (4th) by the Chargers a few years ago, when Nix was there. From BuffaloBills.com Did Nix get the man he wanted all along? This is probably more interesting than the truth, anyway, so why not speculate? kj Sounds like it... also goes along with when Nix signed that other OL. Stating that he now had three of the best OL from that draft. The man does have a plan.
eball Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 Some things never change...one side posts an optimistic perspective about some Bills news, and the other side is just as quick to squash it. Both sides claim to be Bills fans. <sigh>
Doc Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 Scott Chandler's profile from NFL draft scouts in 2007: http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=9952&draftyear=2007&genpos=TE Interesting that he ran a 4.78 40-yard at 6'7" and 270#, and was rated the 4th overall TE prospect (out of 102) and 108th in the draft.
Clippers of Nfl Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 I think you guys are reading WAY too much into this. So what would have happened if Dallas didn't make the switch? Nix would have had to put a player on his main roster that he didn't want? Most likely he wanted Rucker, but when he wasn't available he took Chandler who he also likes. Ask yourself too, why would Dallas have made the TE switch in the first place when the Bills put in the claim? Because they thought, after working with both players, that Rucker was the better of the two. Were they right? Who knows, but I wouldn't count on either player making a big impact on their respective teams. this is right on the money. what if dallas gave us rucker? then nix got nixxxed! lol. ps. not that you need any defending. but i dont think you did anything really wrong here.
Doc Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 The fact that the Bills signed that TE from the Jags' PS after "losing" Rucker tells me that this wasn't a calculated move. But who got the better of it remains to be seen.

I was simply tring to bust (in a small way) his chops a bit.

I've always heard that the way to the Super Bowl is to be able to spot journeyman players that other teams don't want. Sweet! Merriman wasn't on a practice squad.. otherwise your post might have made sense. No actually it wouldn't.. since we also have a bit of production from our players signed off practice squads..

qdawg in philly Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 Exactly. He signs bums with names like Wrotto and Urbik. God forbid if we ever trusted those two on the right side, our already pathetic offense would resemble a Pop Warner offense (and thats being generous). Don't even get me started on no names like Donald Jones and David Nelson .... +1,000,000
PromoTheRobot Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 Who talks about Merriman anymore? Are we so desperate to cling to failure? PTR
qdawg in philly Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 For the Nix bashers, all I can ask is where do you see the Chargers every year? Huh, did someone say in the post season! Nix built that team! As for Merriman we will see what happens! As for Chandler, let's give him a shot!
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 That part was pretty easy as the only team who could have claimed him prior was Carolina, as we have second worst record. and that that player wouldn't be claimed by someone else before the Bills.
Sisyphean Bills Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 That part was pretty easy as the only team who could have claimed him prior was Carolina, as we have second worst record. The two teams the Bills have beaten this season are also 2-9.
