Incorrect. "He said two months or a month." His own words. Plenty of us said it's not that big of a deal but when you're using that as your excuse for not participating - it would help him to be better prepared with his answer. That's all.

He obviously said 2 months and the point he was making was they had an extra month. What is the issue with the quote though? Edited March 3, 2020 by YoloinOhio 1
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 Whether by design or by accident, a fair amount of further information has come out regarding the situation since Fergy posted the original item. It’s interesting to see just how much our perceptions of the player can be changed as these details emerge.

DFT Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 Yea... This thread will be completely irrelevant after March 12th. He’s many things... Soft.. Not so much. And I’m sure the Bills are hoping 21 teams think the same as some of you folks (with respect). 2

Very interesting. I like Higgins quite a bit and think he's been critiqued more harshly than other WR prospects for some reason. I would be pretty happy to have him at #22; probably not my #1, maybe not even among my top 3 realistic options, but he's close. Something like Higgins in the 1st (or possibly trade-up in the 2nd) and someone that's a little more explosive after the catch like Duverney, Hightower, or Edwards on Day 3 would be a pretty nice haul for us IMO.

I mean this is getting a bit boring. I feel like I am just stalking you around the board saying "+1". But.... +1. I won't be around here too much next week as I am off to the horse racing for 3 days. In my absence could my valued TSW friends (and @Gugny) just accept what @DCOrange says as my opinion? Ta. 4

He obviously said 2 months and the point he was making was they had an extra month. What is the issue with the quote though? Nothing really, other than I personally don't think he was clear and he gaffed. He said he only had 4-5 weeks and they had a month or two to prepare (said in reverse). I don't think it's going to effect anything but he didn't come off as overly bright. Again, I don't think WR's (as I said above) need to be my smartest players. I also thought the portion where he's talking about what he "brings to the table" was brutal.
Mat68 Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 In a draft full of good wrs it doesnt take much to fall behind a good amount of other players. Higgins hurt himself. The draft is deep. Outside of one of Buffalos top 15 players being availbe at 22 the best move is to trade down. Get as many day 2 picks as possible.

Meanwhile, a 330 pound OL from Iowa practiced at his school and absolutely killed it at the combine. Just say no to Sammy Watkins Jr. Who is this kid’s agent ?????? His cousin ??

I really like Marino, and I listened as well, but sometimes stuff like this I wonder if that someone from the Bills that likes him is an area scout or something like that. And idk, it just doesn’t seem like they scouted Clemson enough to really have their sights set on him? But that’s just me.

It’s been explained to you, but many places are leaving out the last part of what he said. . The real, full quote is “We had a long season and I only had four or five weeks to prepare for this, and I feel like that’s not enough time compared to all these other guys who had two months, or a month.“ if you watch the clip, you’ll understand the disconnect.

Well, if the Biils are not scouting Clemson extensively, they’re not doing their jobs... 3

How can they have sent nobody all year to watch the number 2 team in the country? Seems highly irregular of its true.
