John from Riverside Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 He's got some size and he is a former starter for the Broncos..... I actually haven't made up my mind in my evaluation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Hey John. This is the only scouting report I could find on Pears. Comment: Pears spent his 2005 rookie season on Denver's practice squad and then became a part-time starter in 2006 and a full time starter in 2007. He missed the 2008 season after undergoing an appendectomy and then signed with the Raiders as a free agent prior to the 2009 season. Pears played in 12 games, starting four. He is a good sized tackle with long arms and above-average short-area quickness. He is not a natural knee bender and tends to let opponents get under his pads and gain leverage. He does show good body control and balance and can recover and right himself after having to react and adjust on the move. He understands blocking angles and schemes and knows how to play within his limitations. While he can fill in as a starter, Pears is best suited to be a backup at multiple positions. I know that the Bills have publicly stated that they like him but I don't think that holds much, if any water. Their public endorsement of players has not historically meant anything at all.

BillsVet Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Four teams in 3 seasons tells me all I need to know. Journeyman type who should be a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Four teams in 3 seasons tells me all I need to know. Journeyman type who should be a backup. I agree BV. Also, I am not impressed by our situation at Guard. We need to draft someone such as Carpenter (he might project to OG or RT) or Moffett. This would make the team stronger and better almost instantly imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 This is a guy who would provide excellent depth and can jump in and start a game or two if needed. A full time starting tackle he is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
