John Cocktosten Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Not saying that Stinchcomb is worth is but Buddy has shown that he doesn't believe in the Oline. .
bills1960 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I think Stinchcomb is a Georgia guy, like Chan...maybe Gailey can use his southern charm on him! If he were a Yellow Jacket this move would be all but inevitable.
Buftex Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 If he were a Yellow Jacket this move would be all but inevitable. I think he went to Georgia, not Georgia Tech...
bills1960 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I think he went to Georgia, not Georgia Tech... I know that's what I mean, too bad it's not Georgia Tech.
buffaloaggie Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Reading Saints fans reactions, they're not that happy with the move. They said Stinchcomb and his replacement Streif had both been running first team drills, so I see no reason why the Bills shouldn't bring him in.
Like A Mofo Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I think he went to Georgia, not Georgia Tech... He is from the South. Buddy and Chan's eyes light up!
Estelle Getty Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Glad this happened before 9 p.m. Buddy can't read the waiver wire from his sleep.

They said Stinchcomb and his replacement Streif had both been running first team drills, so I see no reason why the Bills shouldn't bring him in. They are worried to be cutting a starting lineman during camp. Understandable. I think you'd be hardpressed to find someone versed in his career that's really terribly down on the move beyond the fear of the unknown on a team that could make a run. He was easily at best the fifth, best lineman going into this season .
DreReed83 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 We're not signing this guy. Don't hold ur breath.
dpberr Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I wouldn't be shocked if he gets a call from the Bills. I think the Saints released him partly due to cheaper talent available and cap implications. Money won't be the issue, but whether a doctor clears that knee is. He's probably a failed physical at this point. He'll be highly sought after by Baltimore and Chicago, but those teams have cap considerations too, whereas we do not.
bills1960 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 It's not that we think that the Bills will sign him, it's just knowing that there's a guy out there for the taking that is lightyears better than Erik Pears or whoever will be his direct backup. Buddy let's go, man.

akm0404 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Don't forget that you can't make him play in Buffalo. He will have multiple offers for his services.
JPS Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Dunno. They had to reattach his quad to his knee. He just started practicing and a couple things I read said his mobility and pass pro have declined. Good coaches like Payton do not release solid starters with any tread left. I'd be surprised if they signed him and I'd be further surprised if he were an upgrade over a few healthy 25 year olds. Nobody heard of Tyson Clabo until Atlanta gave him a chance out of desperation. Maybe we are developing a Clabo. Dunno who it is, but I can hope.
CarolinaBillsFan Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) Don't forget that you can't make him play in Buffalo. He will have multiple offers for his services. Having said that, how many offers were there for Clabo? There didn't seem to be that many suitors. Edited August 16, 2011 by CarolinaBillsFan

Well, depending on what one thinks of Bell, because of his recent injuries he would be the fourth best lineman on the Bills going into the season. The thing is, that he would be significantly better than 4 or 5 and therefore make the group significantly better. I think he played LT or at least swing tackle early in his career, no? Although much better suited to RT, could be play back-up LT in a pinch?
Bob in STL Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) Let me jump in ... 1. I heard of him so he must be good. 2. Git'er done Buddy. 3. Ralph is cheap. Thanks, Edited August 16, 2011 by Bob in STL
