stevestojan Posted September 3, 2005 Author Posted September 3, 2005 Ummmm, Haddad dropped a beautiful throw about 45 seconds after Reed did. 428326[/snapback] Ummmm, if you're talking about the pass I think you are, yes, it did get to him, but he had someone ALL over his back. And more importantly, Reed seems to have one important drop EVERY game. . . Time to cut the cord TD...
losman Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 At least Haddad can catch the ball. Reed well
Simon Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Ummmm, if you're talking about the pass I think you are, yes, it did get to him, but he had someone ALL over his back. And more importantly, Reed seems to have one important drop EVERY game. . . Time to cut the cord TD... McQuarters had nice coverage but Losman threw a strike that hit Haddad right in the hands and would have put us in range for Lindell to miss another FG. So far this preseason I've seen Reed drop 3 and Haddad drop 2 and I'll be really stunned if the Bills cut Josh with a year left on his rookie contract. Cya
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Me too. That is why Lindell is still on the roster. He's a detriment to the team as well. 420506[/snapback] Jeez.. you guys won't let up, will ya? The TD Ego Mythologizing continues....
SkykingEHS Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 I don't see this as necessarily a choice between Haddad and Reed. In general the Bills kept 6 WRs last year but will be fine with 5 WRs if we want to go that way. One WR (Parrish)is down for the first quarter of the season so we probably keep 6 including Parrish. My sense is they are: 1. Moulds (one more year at least) 2. Evans (the future #1 if he does not have a Josh Reed sophomore campaign 3. Parrish (he will be back as soon as he likely will not re-injure his wrist as his speed and ability to give Evans/Moulds better coverage is key) 4. Reed has a rep as a better blocker than many WRs though his droppsies make him a questionable #3. WM running will be the game until Parrish is in and though his possession receiving is questionable (though he did perform well as a #3 his rookie year) he probbably get the #4 slot. 5. Haddad probably makes the squad because he offers serious upside in several back-up roles. He will push Reed for being the possession receiver, and Parrish is the likely back-up PR threat for Clements and Haddad can back-up here while Parrish is gone. 6. Aiken probably sticks while Parrish is unavailable. he does contribute on ST coverage but this can be replaced by a host of good ST guys. He is a reasonable possesion WR but never has shown the speed. 7. Fast freddy is probably gone as he has not shown the receiver chops or consistency on PR if there are other choices. 8. Wilson- good receiving but have not seen or heard enough him as an ST demon, maybe he goes on the PS. I think Aiken likely goes when Parrish comes back but this will take 4 games and depending what happens on the field perhaps Reed or Haddad may be the goners 4 games down the road. I agree with all thee above except Aiken will be a lock, reed or haddad will become expandable when parrish comes back
clayboy54 Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Ummmm, Haddad dropped a beautiful throw about 45 seconds after Reed did. 428326[/snapback] But, the troubling issue came in the 97 Rock post-game show when Reed said that he has to drop the first one before he can focus enough to get the job done. If I was TD and heard that, Reed would be on the next bus to New Orleans. That said, I'd settle for the next plane to Baghdad.
HopsGuy Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Turns out that the title of the thread was prophetic. Orchard Park, NY – The Bills have waived the following players: Position Player Player TE Brad Cieslak Northern Illinois OL Jasen Esposito Kutztown LB Liam Ezekial Northeastern DE George Gause South Carolina FB Jon Goldberry Purdue WR Drew Haddad Buffalo LB Wendell Hunter California OL Dylan McFarland Montana DB Evan Oglesby North Alabama DB Lawrence Richardson Arkansas DE Constantin Ritzmann Tennessee QB Kevin Thompson Penn State OL Ross Tucker Princeton TE Rodney Trafford South Carolina
cåblelady Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Ok, now it's you're turn to list one of this world's unexplained mysteries... 420035[/snapback] I hate you. It's your fault Haddad is gone and Reed is still here.
stevestojan Posted September 3, 2005 Author Posted September 3, 2005 I hate you. It's your fault Haddad is gone and Reed is still here. 428473[/snapback] you shouldn't hate. ( Seriously, where is the sense in cutting Haddad?)
cåblelady Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 ( Seriously, where is the sense in cutting Haddad?) 428477[/snapback] Beats the hell out of me. Think I'll send TD an email.
jarthur31 Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 Jeez.. you guys won't let up, will ya? The TD Ego Mythologizing continues.... 428377[/snapback] I don't want everyone here to think I was a TD homer and thinks he can do no wrong.
