The Wiz Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 I honestly can say I don't remember a single time hairston played in a game. I guess that's a good thing right?
John from Riverside Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 We just drafted some VERY talented offensive tackles........ Its sink or swim time now for him
ALF Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) Did he show up for voluntary offseason conditioning ? Good ? for John Murphy . Edited May 11, 2014 by ALF
Buffaloed in Pa Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 We just drafted some VERY talented offensive tackles........ Its sink or swim time now for him He`s a goner. Writing is on the wall.
Bills Fan of St Augustine Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 I think any of the big boys could end up at OG if necessary and be major upgrades over last year.
Phil Hansen Forever Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 I don't get why so many ppl feel the need to know what his injury was...is it really that important and does it really matter? Anything they get from Hairston will be a bonus Maybe it was an opti-rectomy?
machine gun kelly Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 If he's injured, he's injured. By not disclosing a previous post mentioned depression. That's a plausible assertion, but I don't want to know. That's up to him and if that is the case, let the guy get better. He wouldn't be the only one on an anti-depressant in the NFL. I always liked him so hope he is ok. This could be nothing more than a back injury which is common with O Lineman, and may be just fine. What I like is the amt of depth just added to the team, and now let them compete. I trust Whaley and Marrone.
3rdand12 Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Then it should be called " a personal matter ' I'm a Chris Hairston fan . But i dont like the way this has been handled. Whether right wrong good or bad. Maybe we can trade him for a fourth rounder ? potential third ?
John from Riverside Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 I would like to know what his injury was because I believed he had talent to be a starter.......and would like to know if im every gonna see him again in a bills uniform.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 I would be shocked if Hairston makes the team. I think the window has closed on him.
offsides#76FredSmerlas Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 This situation reminds me a lot about a guy who played for us a couple of years ago, Wide receiver Donald Jones. The Bills would never disclose the issues with his health and then finally released him. The Patriots signed him and then let him go soon after. He retired after the Patriots released him stating that he was fighting a long term kidney ailment.
Dragonborn10 Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Hairston being able to play would be a true bonus for this team. He is the perfect swing tackle and it allows you to get rid of Pears who can't play any position other than RT. Hairston could even play some guard if needed. Keep all three rookies and let the remaining guards fit it out for the last back-up spot. Whoever can play a little center gets the edge. Then use Pears' money to sign Dareus long term. Franchise Spiller next year if he plays well this year.
thebandit27 Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 This would be a nice bonus. One thing--I would NOT cut Pears to make room for Henderson. I'd sooner cut Legursky and make Urbik the backup center than give up depth at OT.
3rdand12 Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) This would be a nice bonus. One thing--I would NOT cut Pears to make room for Henderson. I'd sooner cut Legursky and make Urbik the backup center than give up depth at OT. Nor would i CUT Pears . he has been a soldier . But he did have a drop off last year . Maybe it as partly Urbik struggling or a myriad of contributing issues.But Chris from what i recall ( HA ha its been awhile ) was damned decent . Depends onhow Unga plays out i suppose as to keeping Hairston and Pears. If one has trade value ? Bills should leverage it. sorry guys Edited May 28, 2014 by 3rdand12
Rob's House Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 Pears might be the best option at RT to start the season. I know conventional wisdom is that we've upgraded the position, and that may be true, but rookies don't always acclimate quickly to OT, and Pears was decent in pass protection.
CSBill Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 but rookies don't always acclimate quickly to OT Didn't Glenn start from day one?
NoSaint Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 And? Because he did, every rookie should, if they are to succeed
