VABills Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Probably could get him in 3rd / 4th round. Let him come be Willis' backup.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 No way he can stay healthy. It's not like he took helmets to his knees with his injuries.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Hey Frank, how would you like to have your career FURTHER linked to McGahee's? Nah, I'll pass on that walking injury.
Mark VI Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 I believe he's had both knees reconstructed and was always out of the lineup at Miami. Willis got his shot at Miami when Gore was hurt.
VABills Posted March 1, 2005 Author Posted March 1, 2005 I think it would be fun to give him a shot. I would have the same docs who looked at Willis look at Gore. If so I think the could make a good 1 / 2 punch. Plus he has great hands, probably a better blitz blokcer then Willis, and seems to be a good guy overall.
R. Rich Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 I believe he's had both knees reconstructed and was always out of the lineup at Miami. Willis got his shot at Miami when Gore was hurt. 256574[/snapback] Gore had a relatively healthy year last year and while he's lost the burst of speed he had to a large degree, he still has some decent speed and is still a powerful runner with good size. Before the injuries, he was good enough to be ahead of Willis AND Portis on the depth chart.
dib Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 always out of the lineup at Miami. Well, no. He did miss some time, but then again so did McGahee. The only problem I can forsee is the "me me me" attitude aka start me or I take my ball and go home.

Do you think he lasts until the 3rd or 4th. If so, would the Bills do this?

bartshan-83 Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Thanks for backing me on this. It's nice having another voice on reason on this board. Do you think he lasts until the 3rd or 4th. If so, would the Bills do this? 256609[/snapback] I was always intrigued by Gore. He does obviously have a lot of talent. I kept waiting for him to blow up, but the injuries never went away. I wouldn't mind taking a shot at him, but I would prefer a guy who produced and stayed relatively healthy. Plus, I never compared them at the U, but why do you think he is a better pass blocker than Willis? I had zero complaints with McGahee's ability to pick up the correct blitzer. For a virtual rookie, I can't see how one would do a better job than he did.

If so, would the Bills do this? 256609[/snapback] Gore might be around in the 4th. If so, who knows? Would I bet on the Bills taking him? Probably not. But, one can never tell what cards Donahoe will play on draft day. So voices of reason are people who just agree with you ? 256610[/snapback] Keep me out of your squabbles, please.

He is like Moe Williams from the Vikings in that regards.

He is like Moe Williams from the Vikings in that regards. 256623[/snapback] True, he's a solid blocker, especially on blitzes. He does, however, have problems as a receiver out of the backfield and always has had them. He's a decent prospect, though not perfect. I still say someone will give him a shot.
VABills Posted March 1, 2005 Author Posted March 1, 2005 Keep me out of your squabbles, please. 256618[/snapback] See Mark you pissed the big guy off.
Mark VI Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Keep me out of your squabbles, please. 256618[/snapback] Just tweeking VA. No doubt Gore has talent. I remember Badol talking highly of him and he watches every Miami game. Dib lives in the area and is a Miami alum , so I'm certainly going to listen to his take. I guess a lot hinges on his pro day at Miami. I don't believe he worked out at the Indy Combine. Couldn't find anything on him. This draft is Deep in RB's.
VABills Posted March 1, 2005 Author Posted March 1, 2005 This draft is Deep in RB's. 256642[/snapback] Not according to everyone here. The RB's all suck and Travis should get us 2 first and 2 seconds at a minimum.
Mark VI Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Not according to everyone here. The RB's all suck and Travis should get us 2 first and 2 seconds at a minimum. 256645[/snapback] Indeed.
Stevie Ray Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 always out of the lineup at Miami. Well, no. He did miss some time, but then again so did McGahee. The only problem I can forsee is the "me me me" attitude aka start me or I take my ball and go home. 256605[/snapback] Along those lines, I would be concerned about the chemistry between Gore and McGahee. After McGahee was drafted, I recall reading somewhere that Gore was bitching that he was a better back than McGahee and some other negative stuff. Unfortunately I cant recall where that was published, but it was shortly after Willis was drafted IIRC.
