D521646 Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 I know he only played a few snaps Sunday against the chiefs, but this guy is about as stout as they come. I have family and friends (Being Canadian) that follow Canadian college sports pretty close and all of them told me that the Bills found a true diamond in the ruff. He's about as raw as they come, but a super high motor, and beast-like strength, and by the way can play and has proven production in any position on the D-Line. With solid coaching I am predicting that this kid is going to stay a long time in the NFL, and hopefully most of those years are with the Bills. I'm pulling for him.
Big C Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 He was fantastic in his few snaps last week. I expect to see a little more of him Sunday.
TPS Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 After reading Buscaglia's evaluation of the KC game and his comments on Charles, I took some time look into who he is; I guess the B-news did also. Interesting prospect. Huge arms and legs.
Rubes Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 I remember seeing somebody make a couple plays in the KC game and wondering who it was because I didn't recognie the number. It's pretty impressive that he could stand out that much after only playing five snaps. We'll see...

26CornerBlitz Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 Good move by the Bills' Personnel Dept. picking him up in place of Jay Ross.
D521646 Posted November 8, 2013 Author Posted November 8, 2013 Good move by the Bills' Personnel Dept. picking him up in place of Jay Ross. Exactly, and the Titans were hiding him on their PS, thought no one was watching. Apparently the Bills were watching, and could turn out to be the steal of the decade. I know it sounds silly for me to say all this about an unproven player, but I got a real good feeling about him.
CFLstyle Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) Actually saw him at the CFL combine last March, he looked good. We didn't expect to see him play pro in Canada any time soon. Edited November 8, 2013 by CFLstyle
Captain Hindsight Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 Picked 10th overall in the CFL draft apparently. Only played 5 snaps the other day but I saw him make one tackle and said to my friend.. who was that guy? Hope he pans out.
Kirby Jackson Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) I really liked what I saw from the kid. I think that he could be quite the find. I just advise against comparing a guy with 5 snaps or so to a Pro Bowl player. Edited November 8, 2013 by Kirby Jackson

Only played 5 snaps the other day but I saw him make one tackle and said to my friend.. who was that guy? Hope he pans out. One of the things I read about him was that he was projected to go #1 or 2. I suspect some teams didn't want to take a chance on him because of his ambitions for the NFL.
Fingon Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 This is probably the perfect place for him. Ever since Carrington went down the Bills haven't had a prototypical 3-4 end on the team. He'll get playing time if he's good.
Bills Fan in Beantown Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 It would be a great story if it turns into something real, but we'll have to wait and see. He didn't even start playing football until high school so they obviously see a lot of upside from a "local" kid.

It's pretty impressive that he could stand out that much after only playing five snaps. We'll see... My thought when I heard his name mentioned was...WHO?
Big C Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 My thought when I heard his name mentioned was...WHO? Had the same reaction. I knew we released Ross, but forgot the replacement.
tombstone56 Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 im hoping that this guy succeeds ,itd give us alot of flexiblity in the draft if were not looking for the bookend for the d-line..
yungmack Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 What's also cool is he's kind of a local guy. He was a Bills fan growing up and his first NFL game he attended was at the Ralph.
eball Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) Two tackles in five snaps is strong. Can't wait to see him get increased playing time as he learns the playbook. I read somewhere he's basically the same size as Carrington. Edit -- and obviously, his signing is all Brandon, so they can market to Toronto. Edited November 8, 2013 by eball
TPS Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 By the way, there is a thread on him when he was signed, and someone posted a Youtube link with his U of Regina highlights. http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/163208-bills-sign-another-to-the-53-man-roster/page__hl__%2Bstefan+%2Bcharles
l< j Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 Edit -- and obviously, his signing is all Brandon, so they can market to Toronto. I think it is a straight up FU to Eugene Parker: we went out and got this guy so we don't have to play games with you and your guy (Carrington) next year. Half kidding. kj
