Tolstoy Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 The Bills must be dissatisfied with their D-line if they are going after Corey Simon. It would be a good pick-up for an already very good defense. Link:http://www.nj.com/sports/times/index.ssf?/base/sports-0/112322928129970.xml&coll=5
Mike32282 Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 i'm shocked about this. Ron Edwards has been looking good out there and he has bulked up. He's HUGE! Plus we already got Big Sam. If they want to go after any tackles, fine. Go after an OFFENSIVE TACKLE.
Nanker Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 This could be the beginning of the end for Justin Bannan and Lauvale Sape! Don't hold your breath. However, they've got to do SOMETHING with that Tennessee breasts 3rd rounder they got for whats-his-name.
Frez Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 I'm not shocked. Corey Simon is a proven player on defense and would take this team one step higher. 1. Will he cost more than Pat Williams? 2. Heck, the Bills have an extra 3rd round pick from Henry now and would just cost a 2nd on top of that. Maybe Donahoe could throw our two 3rd round picks at them. Then again maybe it's just wishful thinking on the Eagels part.
Frez Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 Can he play LT? 399070[/snapback] You hit the nail right on the head. Maybe he and Roscoe Parrish can both plat LT uh?
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 Is Sam Adams in his final year with the Bills? 399074[/snapback] Not that I know of I think his contract is up after the 06 season. With that said I definitly would not be opposed to brining in corey simon. He's a proven player and would only make our defense better. Nothing against Ron Edwards, but at least with simon we'd be legit at dt, and like the bills organization has been saying. This is not a year we're going to "Take a step back" We have the defensive talent and st's to compete for a playoff spot and possibily the division title. If we don't get simon and this is just some rumor to spark interest from another club, than I won't lose sleep about it, as that money could go to extending clements and mcgee.
Mickey Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 You hit the nail right on the head. Maybe he and Roscoe Parrish can both plat LT uh? 399073[/snapback] Brilliant! This would free us up to move Ron Edwards to the offense to play LT. The only question is, why didn't we see this coming? Oy vey.
The Quebecer Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 According to NFLPA.com : Salary History 2003 750000.00 2004 2000000.00 2005 2000000.00 2006 2000000.00 So, 2006 would be his last! If TD can get Simon at a relatively fair price on a 5 years deal, I say let's do it! Nice thinking ahead! We'll just have to wait and see! Later, Pat
Mike32282 Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 But if this means we lose Nate Clements in the offseason because we cant afford him...is it worth it? I dunno.
Frez Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 But if this means we lose Nate Clements in the offseason because we cant afford him...is it worth it? I dunno. 399078[/snapback] Maybe they can keep them both?
buffalo mike Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 Wow. Woke up to this story and I am stoked. Can you say #1 Defense. And a clock eating running game. As my hometown hero Larry the Cable Guy would say- GETTER DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LabattBlue Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 I don't know if it is indicative of his play, but Simon's total tackle stats have gone down since his rookie year. If the Bills had to make a choice of using the money for a long term contract on Clements or signing a player who is DISGRUNTLED with his current team, I say invest in NC!!! http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/187398

I agree.

Remember all the fat Sam jokes?? I would not trade Sam Adams for anything, he is a monster. The chance to play next to Sam, our coaching staff, AND our linebackers has to get this guy's motor revving....
Coach Tuesday Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 Josh Reed and a low pick for Simon. Hear me out - I don't usually propose these wild trade scenarios, but this one makes perfect sense. The Eagles NEED a WR, especially with Owens hurting again. Reed would be a good fit in that offense - he's an excellent blocker and he's tough (he has stone hands and no confidence, but let's not tell them that). Simon wants out of there - he's one of the better "penetrating" d-tackles in the league, a real quick, disruptive force when he wants to be. You can't turn down the opportunity to get a player like that. Thoughts?
Frez Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 We need to find a Eagles message board and make a deal with the Eagle fans!
Smoker2Buffalo Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 A player of that caliber is certainly welcome, but I think I'd rather have them go after someone on the other line.
