BillsWatch Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Tucker solidified the line when he came in after experiments with other players and played multiple positions well. I know he had offseason back surgery but this really, really surprised me. Maybe he is not able to physically play yet full time so they decided to let him go and bring him back later. From what I have seen and heard it makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess they know more then they are letting on huh?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eSJayDee Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 The only rationale I can think of (except that Tucker can't play up to normal standard due to his back) is that they're very high on Preston and that they're only keeping 9 OLs, so they instead opted for guys that could play outside, too. Personally, from what I've seen, I wouldn't have been surprised to see Tucker starting instead of Anderson w/in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaDairis Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Justin Geisinger has four years of SEC OLT experience, and hence provides depth at OT while learning OG. That helped to justify cutting McFarland as well as Tucker, who has injury issues and costs more against the Cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

34-78-83 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I think you may be right on your speculation G. Host. There's no way Jerman is a better player than Tucker, and Tuck can play center too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way Jerman is a better player than Tucker, and Tuck can play center too. 428650[/snapback] The coaches think otherwise. Why should we doubt their call?

BuffBills#1 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Well I guess it means that Anderson hasn't been as bad as we have all been saying. They must still have 100% confidence in Anderson to let Tucker go like that. Either that or Tucker wasn't the same after back surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
