Coach Tuesday Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Sorry but I didn't see this posted elsewhere. It was news to me (and not good news): http://bills.buffalonews.com/2015/12/01/bills-notebook-tarpley-released-steward-to-start/ While Henderson’s job isn’t changing, the Bills have made a change to their tackle depth chart. Jordan Mills, who joined the team prior to Week Seven off the Detroit Lions’ practice squad, has overtaken 2014 second-round draft pick Cyrus Kouandjio as the team’s swing tackle. We “think that Jordan is our better option for us right now,” Ryan said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBBullsfan Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Ahh, reminds me of when Kounadjio hired that doctor to tell the Bills his knee was not shot. Maybe that wasn't 100 percent accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Yep. It's why Kouandjio was a healthy inactive for the KC game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooklynBills Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Even the greats have many. You say it as if it's a huge deal he missed on a second rounder He's had 3 drafts: He's missed on a 1st rounder, a 2nd rounder, a 3rd rounder, and 2 4th rounders. That's kind of a lot. He does not have the track record to simply say "oh, even the really good GMs have misses.". The really good GMs also draft Pro Bowlers and Whaley has not done that.

He drafted a DROY candidate in his first year who he later flipped for Shady, an OROY candidate the year after who would be more highly regarded if they gave him the ball more, and a DROY candidate this year who already looks like a top CB, not to mention a would-be OROY candidate who scored a TD in his first 6 games as a pro. He leveraged the Kujo pick with a low-risk pick in Seantrel who has been up and down, but can still develop into a quality RT. I don't know man, I think he is doing a fine job adding talent both through the draft and free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnC Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Even the greats have many. You say it as if it's a huge deal he missed on a second rounder In general I am a strong supporter of Doug Whaley. But missing on this particular second round pick for an OL unit that was very weak at the RT position was a significant set back. Sometimes prospects don't develop at a quick rate. But that isn't the case here. He simply can't play at the pro level. He is too slow footed and isn't athletic enough to uphold his position. Doug Marrone made a quick assessment that Kujo couldn't play at this level. He was right. The new regime under Rex has also come to the same conclusion. Kujo isn't good enough to get playing time in place of Henderson who is mightily struggling at the RT position. This draft mistake hurt us not only at the RT position but it reverberated all along the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know man, I think he is doing a fine job adding talent both through the draft and free agency. He is... It takes a bunch of creative revisionism sprinkled with some pure Whaley hate to spin him into a bad GM. His roster building acumen is the best the organization has seen since Polian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bocephuz Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I thought he looked good when on the field this year. Must not be looking good in practice. CK looked pretty solid in pass protect in the games he played in this year... much better than Henderson. Hard to believe this demotion is not due to his knee... and if this new guy is so good.. he should be starting as soon as he has a rudimentary understanding of the playbook as Henderson is a tire fire.

Yeah, he's the GM...brilliant...do you want to bring up his good picks also...Darby, Karlos Williams, Preston Brown...... Seantrel Henderson is the worst football player I have ever seen in my life. How much football have you watched? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex specifically said that Kouandjio was ready to go from a health perspective, but the coaching staff considers Mills to be a better option at this juncture.

JohnC Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Seantrel Henderson is the worst football player I have ever seen in my life. Have you ever seen an offensive lineman whiff so much against the player he is supposed to block? After tenaciously blocking the air he has a look of total befuddlement. You know Kujo isn't thought too highly of by the staff because he can't even get playing time behind him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
