Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 i like this guy About time. It only took 10 guys to get injured before being elevated. If he's a gamer, we're all going to be thankful for the recent spate of WR injuries that gave Aiken his chance.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 i like this guy I liked Roosevelt too, but 4 catches in the last 3 games, 12 receptions in 8 games, isn't what I'd hoped for when he got his shot Who is this other guy Hagen?
Jack Straw Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Looks like we also picked up Derek Hagan who we saw on the Raiders in wk 2. http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/WRs-Hagan-Aiken-signed-Jones-McGee-to-I-R/e129d227-678d-4341-badf-c7e4a9bfa09d
ajzepp Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 I hope he's got a bit more physical presence than some of our other guys...at least for the first five yards off the LOS.

He has trouble getting separation. Great hands, good routes, lacks the burst to get away, minus the play vs the gmen.
CodeMonkey Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 . He has trouble getting separation. Great hands, good routes, lacks the burst to get away, minus the play vs the gmen. A WR with great hands will be a welcome addition.
EldaBillsFan Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Aikens is going to show that Gailey makes emotional decisions......his decision for Donald jones was an emotional decision....
John from Riverside Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 I did not see one reason why Donald Jones should have been picked over some of the other guys.....Ruvel Martin shouldn't even be on the team. I am going to throw up my breakfast if Aiken comes in and tears it up after a 3 game losing streak. Kamar Aiken looked awesome in camp.

Reminds me of Cruz from The Giants...... during camp I looked up him the kids looked awesome.....but we always hope for the best

Nothing personal JfH, but I sincerely hope you end up throwing up your breakfast every week until the end of the season!
sarmanuscg07 Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 He will be a play maker, I have wanted him to get a shot at #2. I think he's really that good.
PromoTheRobot Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 I liked Roosevelt too, but 4 catches in the last 3 games, 12 receptions in 8 games, isn't what I'd hoped for when he got his shot Who is this other guy Hagen? Except that Fitz only throws to him 12 times. Naaman catches 98% of what's thrown to him. Did you see the pop he took vs Miami...and STILL made the catch? The kid is velcro. PTR

Red Squirrel Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 I liked Roosevelt too, but 4 catches in the last 3 games, 12 receptions in 8 games, isn't what I'd hoped for when he got his shot Who is this other guy Hagen? I am an Arizona State guy, and am pretty familiar with Hagan. He spent the last couple years with the Giants (my TV market) and filled in quite well when they had a bunch of injuries. He also did a solid job on special teams. I was going to come on here and advocate signing him and dumping Ruvell Martin after the Raiders released Hagan. Now that the injuries have hit, they need both. The Raiders apparently dumped him because Hue Jackson never wanted him but Crazy Dead Al forced Hagan on him. Not the way to make a team. Going back further, Derek was a stud at ASU. He piled up huge numbers and looked like a surefire 1st rounder...then, he went to the Senior Bowl and dropped everything thrown to him. I was stunned at the time; he always had good hands with ASU. He is big, he fights for the ball, and he runs well after the catch. Miami still liked him enough to use a 2nd on him, but he continued to have too many drops there and they dumped him. Like I said, he did pretty well with the Giants. I was surprised they didn't re-sign him after losing Steve Smith. I like the guy, but don't expect much unless there are even more injuries. I'd guess he will prevent us from ever seeing Martin on offense, but he'll still be behind Roosevelt and Aiken.

I am going to throw up my breakfast if Aiken comes in and tears it up after a 3 game losing streak. Kamar Aiken looked awesome in camp. I completely agree. I hope he proves to be as good as I thought him to be in pre-season.

NewEra Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 <br />A WR with great hands will be a welcome addition.<br /> I was talking about naaman. I like Aiken a lot.
