Mickey Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I think he is listed as "questionable" but I'm not sure if that refers to his health or his blocking skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillnutinHouston Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Come on. Resent him for the big money he makes, but what real evidence is there that he is soft? IMHO..... Big Money + Car accident + Grandma dies + non-Pro=Bowler does not = soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 It turns out his ankle sprain is a high ankle sprain, which is notoriously slow to heel. That's why it's been several weeks.

Yes we could and should have taken Roy, instead on Mike. The only other star available to us was out of that draft is Freeney, and he had not been shut down by McKinnie earlier that year, might have been our pick.

Simon Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 2002 was not really a good draft for anyone. Yes we could and should have taken Roy, instead on Mike. Have you seen people running by Roy Williams the last couple years? He's beginning to look like a pylon on a Nascar track. We only had two options to escape the first round of that draft without terribly overpaying for a high pick. One was to intentionally tank our game vs. Carolina and end up with Peppers at #2, instead they were the ones who ran for the busses in the 2nd qrtr. The second was to trade down, but apparently nobody wanted to move up into the top of that crappy draft. We picked the wrong year to purge the roster and it's not Mike Williams' or TD's or Greg Williams' or anybody else's fault. Cya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levi Jones was thought to be a late first round pick. Cincy "reached" and grabbed him at #10. Simon, we have fun on this board with the draft. We watch some college games and read reports, but TD was getting paid the big bucks to evaluate talent. I fail to see how you can find NO fault when he skipped over a LT who is playing quite well to select a RT with a weight problem with the 4th pick of a draft; any draft. Please, do not construe this as a complete "I hate TD post." It is not. I too have been watching the NFL for a long time and am quite able to see many good moves that he has made for the Bills. That said, a bust is a bust. MW, via his selection and signing by TD, is hurting the Buffalo Bills Fotball Team via his salary cap figure as compared to his production, and has been since day one.

Simon Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 You disagree because you thought the Bills should have drafted Levi Jones at #4 overall? And you fault TD for not drafting Levi JOnes at #4 overall?! I can only assume you're pulling my leg a little this morning. MW, via his selection and signing by TD, is hurting the Buffalo Bills Fotball Team via his salary cap figure as compared to his production, and has been since day one. I don't agree that our best Tackle is hurting the team via his production. And as far as his cap figure, I just don't see the point of lamenting a 3 years gone situation from which there was simply no escape. The only thing worth lamenting is what this defense would look like with Julius Peppers lining up at End, and even that is only worth about a post a year. We were stuck in a shltty place and did as well as can reasonably be expected.
