Fake-Fat Sunny Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 Would anyone shed a tear if Coy Wire was released? What I'm hoping this does is free enough room for a Demulling signing and a trade for Shelton. 274982[/snapback] I will shed a tear if Wire is released (well a virtual tear since paraphrasing Tom Hanks- are you crying? There's no cryining in football). My tear will not be because i think he has made positive contributions to this team that justify a large cap hit. I will be crying because I think he is a talented player who has no fear of hitting whose development was totally mismanaged by GW cause he got thrown in at starting safety because GW/Gray blew their estimation of how much Jenkins had left. Wire should have been targeted and trained to try to be his version of having Taker like impact on ST right from the start. Instead they leaned on him at the distraction of the the safety position when they screwed up their Jenkins estimation. I think its a shame.

I think its a shame. 275128[/snapback] I think it would be a shame to waste a 2nd round pick on a guy just to play special teams. I don't think you can train someone to be a Steve Tasker. Wire was a bust and a waste of a 2nd round pick. RTB

Not an NFL starting player. I said he would be gone, Reese also.
RunTheBall Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 He was a 3rd round pick. 275175[/snapback] You're absolutely right. I got my info from the Buffalo Bills.com roster "How Acquired: '02 Draft (2nd Round)" Please replace 2nd round in my previous post with 3rd round. Still a wasted pick, just not as bad as a 2. RTB
LabattBlue Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 Still a wasted pick, just not as bad as a 2. RTB 275182[/snapback] Now this I agree with.
nobody Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 Are you talking about the great Coy Wire, who is so good as a ST'er, that he didn't even dress for the last game of the season? 275065[/snapback] The Bills ST did not have a great game against pittsburgh. With the removal of Prioleau and the possible removal of Wire from ST I wouldn't be suprised to see the ST rankings go down some next year.

With the removal of Prioleau and the possible removal of Wire from ST I wouldn't be suprised to see the ST rankings go down some next year. 275190[/snapback] My point is that Wire is touted as a great ST'er, yet for some reason he was not even dressed for the Pit game?
nobody Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 My point is that Wire is touted as a great ST'er, yet for some reason he was not even dressed for the Pit game? 275199[/snapback] And my point was that the Bills ST did not have a great game against pittsburgh when Wire did not play.

San-O Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 Izell Reese. When does he go? How much is he making?
LabattBlue Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 And my point was that the Bills ST did not have a great game against pittsburgh when Wire did not play. 275208[/snapback] So why did the coaches decide not to dress the next "Steve Tasker" for the Pittsburgh game if there was going to be such a negative impact on the play of the ST????
LabattBlue Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 Izell Reese. When does he go? How much is he making? 275214[/snapback] He's a UFA and more than likely will not be re-signed.
San-O Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 He's a UFA and more than likely will not be re-signed. 275224[/snapback] Great. I'm glad to see that the Bills are cleaning some house in the secondary. Seems like bad things happen when backups from both saftey positions were on the field.
John from Riverside Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 Clump, These things would certainly have to put us further under then 4 million.... right?
Larry Playfair Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 So prior to MW restructuring or CW getting released the Bills are 2 mil under the cap as it stands today. IF MW restructures as stated above, the Bills are 4 million under. Does TD go after a couple more FA's or does he try and sign NC to a long term deal? We'll see.... 275007[/snapback] I hope he locks clements up for 5 years. This guy is a stud, but CB have ben getting ridiculous cash.
Ramius Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 Maybe CW would have been better had he spent more time on stusdying film and learning to play safety and less time on burning bills DVD's... hehehe or am i mixing the 2 of them up?
nobody Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 So why did the coaches decide not to dress the next "Steve Tasker" for the Pittsburgh game if there was going to be such a negative impact on the play of the ST???? Poor decision making?
bills_fan Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 I do hope we resign Prileau. He was our leading ST tackler. TD offered him a 3 year deal, which reduced his rate but his agent thought he could do better elsewhere. Here's hoping he can't and TD takes him back, cause I'd love to have him here again.
