Frostbelt City Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/02/21/atogwe-visits-the-redskins-monday/ This would rule
laffy2777 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 he'll join his soon to be father-in-law if he knows whats really good for him lol
The Senator Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Look like he'd prefer to stay with the Rams... Atogwe hopes to be back after release from Rams ...but he grew up in Windsor, Ontario - so maybe we've got a shot here in 'lower Canada'
DrDawkinstein Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) he'll join his soon to be father-in-law if he knows whats really good for him lol All I could picture was a female version of Singletary with those eyes popping out of his head. She's actually much prettier.... http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/613/piczk.jpg Edited February 21, 2011 by DrDankenstein
Dawgg Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/02/21/atogwe-visits-the-redskins-monday/ This would rule It'd be nice to have a safety who makes plays every once in a while.
OldTimer1960 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Atogwe had 1/2 the number of tackles, 2 more INTs than Whitner did last year. The Rams cut him because he didn't live up to the big contract that he signed. Now, I am not saying that Atogwe isn't as good as Whitner, but I don't see a huge upgrade there. Money required to sign each would be a significant factor in choosing one over the other (IMHO).
Fingon Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Why? Whitner is 25, while Atogwe will be 30 in June.
Helpmenow Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Why? Whitner is 25, while Atogwe will be 30 in June. Darran sharper is older than both and was decent
San Jose Bills Fan Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Firstly you'd have to know how much it would cost to sign Atogwe and weigh that as to how good he is and where his career curve is. Then you'd have to ask, "would we be better off spending that money at another position?" Atogwe's had a nice interception total in his career. He's supposed to be a much better free safety than strong safety. I believe he was asked to play strong safety last year. We already have our free safety in Byrd. Nothing against Atogwe but I hope the Bills have prioritized their free agency needs to include a starting tight end first and foremost. If they can sign Atogwe AND Zach Miller or Kevin Boss, I'd be on board with that.
Nanker Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 OMG! He's available and I've heard of him. Sign him NOW. But, only if you can do it on the cheap, 'cause he's washed up. No. The FO has to sign him or it will prove the team is in disarray. Throw him a dozen million dollar signing bonus to get him here. That's the only way FAs will come to Buffalo. Ralph is cheap, so it won't happen. Did I cover all the bases?
PDaDdy Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/02/21/atogwe-visits-the-redskins-monday/ This would rule I don't think we need another free safety. I would be happy with a SS that can provide excellent run support and not get burned in coverage when it is called for.
Thoner7 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Atogwe had 1/2 the number of tackles, 2 more INTs than Whitner did last year.

Money required to sign each would be a significant factor in choosing one over the other (IMHO). He had half the # of tackles because he covered the other teams TE twice as often.
Saint Doug Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 OMG! He's available and I've heard of him. Sign him NOW. But, only if you can do it on the cheap, 'cause he's washed up.

NewEra Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I billieve we should sign him...if we cannot sign and RT/DL/LB or TE. I'm not so sure how active we're gonna be in FA this year. I'd prefer to sign a player that plays a position of need. If we are unable to sign anyone, then I'd welcome adding him to the team. He's a good player. We need more good players.
dpberr Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Atogwe does a few things better than Whitner. 1. Considerably more productive in creating turnovers. 2. He has the height, talent and experience in covering TE's in the 3-4 defense during his career.
DrDawkinstein Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Atogwe does a few things better than Whitner. 1. Considerably more productive in creating turnovers. 2. He has the height, talent and experience in covering TE's in the 3-4 defense during his career. Right, because he played FREE SAFETY. NOT STRONG SAFETY. Kinda like saying Jeff Saturday should be our new RT because he plays on the Line.
dpberr Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Right, because he played FREE SAFETY. NOT STRONG SAFETY. Kinda like saying Jeff Saturday should be our new RT because he plays on the Line. You do realize he's played both SS and FS in his career? He performed quite well at the SS position.
BillnutinHouston Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I don't feel comfortable at all with what we have in Byrd, not after last year. I think he's overrated and have said so for over a year now. But, assuming FA dollars are scarce for Buffalo, I'd spend the $ on another position.
karl malones other son Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 NO WAY! We already have Donte Whi-----HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHH….oh man, couldn't finish that sentence…*sigh*
