BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Bye Bye Turnstyle, hardly knew you.....
Captain Hindsight Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 This staff makes some really interesting moves after the fact. However, it calls into question their decisions to begin with. This one is kind of an "oh-well" but he was supposed to be "next man up" not next man out. Well it sort of is next man up. Brown's removal allows someone else to prove they are better than legursky
Captain Caveman Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 I know I don't have the whole story, but based on what I do know, this is a mistake. I've never bought into the whole "addition by subtraction" line I hear so often. I can accept Legursky is better than Brown (though I was traveling and haven't seen most of the game yet). But, who is backing up Legursky who is better than Brown? Not having a backup, and risking playing someone even worse that Brown, is not something I can endorse. Maybe Antoine McClain has shown something in practice?
CSBill Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) if Brown is released, that certainly that opens the door for Antoine McClain, unless there is someone on another practice squad they have had an eye on? Edited October 15, 2013 by CSBill
DJasper Probincrux III Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 this is the kind of stuff where the local "journalists" piss me off. Who are we bringing in? Got a source with the team? Anyone? Didn't think so. Go back to jerking each other off on twitter.
GG Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Why? What's the point? What is our better option? This is a stupid move. Brown is not NFL caliber G. You could smell this move as soon as they grabbed McClain. One week to get acclimated to the offense and he'll be backing up Legurski in Miami.
JStranger76 Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Who is the backup swing tackle right now??? Hairston is still injured, no?
Joe Miner Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Guards are a dime a dozen anyway. Well...Guards like Colin Brown are
GG Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Maybe Antoine McClain has shown something in practice? It was foreshadowed. You don't bring in a guard by cutting a tackle. This was pretty much telegraphed.
Bufcomments Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 A refrigerator from Home Depot is a better option to have on the line than Colin Brown. A fridge from home Depot maybe comes with a water cooler. Colin Brown ...the Bills pay a waterboy to bring water to him. Ill take the fridge ...thank you lol
HurlyBurly51 Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 It was foreshadowed. You don't bring in a guard by cutting a tackle. This was pretty much telegraphed. Agreed. Pretty easy to interpret. All Legursky had to do was play well, and he did.
mousetrap08 Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Maybe the Bills feel that McClain who they got off waivers last week is going to be a better guard.
Big Turk Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Damn you Marrone!!! I was looking forward to Brown shattering the record for all time worst grade in a season by PFF...woukd have been an untouchable record....oh well, lol
thewildrabbit Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Why? What's the point? What is our better option? This is a stupid move. How many games does it take you to see how much worse this guy can play? All I can say is HOLY CRAP this guy is bad, negative -24 after 3 games wasn't bad enough? Just to put that number in perspective Jeff Tuel (deer in headlights) only graded at -5 by throwing turf balls in that Cleveland game. Or another perspective is that CB Justin Rodgers allowed 74% of the Jets passing, along with 2 TD's and Brown graded out worse. "The Buffalo Bills offensive line is about to get significantly better going forward, as the Bills have decided to cut ties with LG Colin Brown, who might have been the worst starting offensive lineman in the NFL. " http://nflspinzone.com/2013/10/15/buffalo-bills-finally-release-colin-brown/ It really is upsetting that most every Bills fan knew how good LG Andy Levitre was as he graded as last seasons best O lineman. When they chose to let Andy leave in free agency the Bills they just didn't have a proper contingency plan.
JStranger76 Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Ouch Thomas Welch is the swing tackle right now.....scary times folks......Anyone have any info on Chris Hairston's status? I'm guessing the hip could be career threatening if it is still giving him trouble.....

thewildrabbit Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Do they bring back Sam Young? FAAA, err ...Heck no!! He subbed in for Urbik for a few plays against the Jets and promptly allowed two sacks. If you can believe it, he is worse then Brown.
DPR4444 Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 It's refreshing to see non-performers held accountable. Darcy Regier would have given him a contract extension.

You seriously don't think they thought that through?
