YoloinOhio Posted April 14, 2015 Author Posted April 14, 2015 If he was going to take Hogan's spot instead of Goodwin's I would probably be for it. Hogan is probably a better WR though and a lot more potential. I don't think Smith is going to get much better than he is, which isn't great. But I think he's a talented guy and a great locker room guy. We just have so many weapons I don't know where the need is.if I remember correctly Brad Smith and his wife were pretty involved with recruiting mario to buffalo... Wonder if they still talk
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 I would rather have Marcus thigpen. Does anyone know if we re-signed him?

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 i think he signed a 2 year deal so should be under contract Sweet. Then, I guess I am wondering why we need thigpen, Easley, and brad smith?
apuszczalowski Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Maybe he is going to replace Easley who is basically only a ST Gunner and nothing else
Jamie Nails Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 He's not replacing Marcus- we just signed him to a big (by special teams standards) deal.

Mr. WEO Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Maybe, but Robert Durst, I mean Chip Kelly, the offensive genius kept him on his team the first two years in the league. Almost 2 years. Kelly saw Smith on the field for a total of 4 plays last season. He probably didn't know he was on the roster--that he was the locker room attendent collecting towels from the huddle.
YoloinOhio Posted April 14, 2015 Author Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) Sweet. Then, I guess I am wondering why we need thigpen, Easley, and brad smith?other than what another poster mentioned - he would replace core ST Larry Dean who signed with TB - I have no idea. Guess he could return kicks in a pinch. Edited April 14, 2015 by YoloinOhio
John from Riverside Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Maybe he is going to replace Easley who is basically only a ST Gunner and nothing else I certainly hope not.....because Easley is damned good at what he does Should have been to the pro bowl as a ST'r

Then, I guess I am wondering why we need thigpen, Easley, and brad smith?We wouldn't but with nearly 100 guys fighting for 46 jerseys week 1..... It's not crazy to have skill sets duplicated in April to find out who's best for September.Maybe he is going to replace Easley who is basically only a ST Gunner and nothing else2.2million reasons eaglets not getting cut Edited April 14, 2015 by NoSaint
Big C Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Maybe he is going to replace Easley who is basically only a ST Gunner and nothing else Only one of the best gunners in the league.
QuoteTheRaven83 Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Never should have let him go when they did.
CountryCletus Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Brad Smith is the best WR/STer in the building.... Sitting down with the brass..... Discussing a FA contract...... I've heard of him..:
KD in CA Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Only one of the best gunners in the league. You'd think the way Bills fans lionize gunners they'd be more appreciative. Maybe he is going to replace Easley who is basically only a ST Gunner and nothing else So we'd rather have a kickoff return man and nothing else (in an era were most kickoffs are touchbacks) than a gunner and nothing else a backup WR? Not me.

I'm not advocating here but for sake of accuracy Is there any indication that Easley is a better offensive player? Also with 86 tackles I'm guessing he's more than just a kick returner on special teams

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Neither Smith nor Easley is a WR in this league. I thought Smith was horrendous when he played receiver here. His routes were poor and he didn't seem to have good hands. He also was pretty lousy on kick returns. I am surprised that he has stuck in the league as long as he has.
KD in CA Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I'm not advocating here but for sake of accuracy Is there any indication that Easley is a better offensive player? Also with 86 tackles I'm guessing he's more than just a kick returner on special teams No, but Smith has never done anything as a WR so there's no reason to consider him an upgrade. As for coverage teams, 60 of Smith's 86 tackles occurred during his Jets years so not much production since. Covering kicks is a young man's occupation -- Easley is 4 years younger and has 35 tackles in his 26 games over the past two years and is recognized as an outstanding special teams player.
YoloinOhio Posted April 15, 2015 Author Posted April 15, 2015 I dint think anyone would compare smith to easley. They aren't competing for the same roster spot.
