Astrobot Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 The current Jet Blue Poll on the Bills Website has me steaming: Which wide receiver has the best shot at making the Bills active roster? Choice Votes: Chris Denney 115 (7%) Martin Nance 941 (53%) Jonathan Smith 632 (36%) George Wilson 72 (4%) I can understand how Fast Freddie's speed and 2 seasons' experience netted him 36% of the vote, but explain to me how Martin Freaking Nance (number of NFL passes thrown to him in pads=0) got HALF the votes and George Wilson, who caught everything in sight last year in training camp got 4%. I'm a big fan of Wilson's, to be sure, and I'd like to see the 6'4" Nance get a fair shot at the 5-6 WR roster spots, but Nance will have to show us some separation out of the break before he gets my vote.

MadBuffaloDisease Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 Potential and name recognition. More people have heard of Nance than Wilson. And I think the Bills will be able to sneak Wilson onto the PS (again) easier than Nance. But I also don't get how Wilson can be BEHIND Denney. But hey, that's the beauty of polls!

BUFFALOTONE Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 I am kind of partial to Nance because I watched him play when he and Big Ben tore it up. He was great that year but fell off due to Bens departure and injuries and so forth. Plus I hit a three team parlay with Ohio bringin up the rear and Nance absolutely blew up against Akron. He put up some sick numbers that game. I guess that is what sticks in my head about Nance.
kgun Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 Astro, Where is Roscoe on your short list of WR's for '06?
SACKMARINO Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 more like kwame cavil 700479[/snapback] i still miss Reggie Germany.
Beerball Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 Astro, Where is Roscoe on your short list of WR's for '06? 700536[/snapback] Roscoe is the short list. BTW--he didn't make the list, simply passed it along.
krazykat Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 I can understand how Fast Freddie's speed and 2 seasons' experience netted him 36% of the vote, but explain to me how Martin Freaking Nance (number of NFL passes thrown to him in pads=0) got HALF the votes and George Wilson, who caught everything in sight last year in training camp got 4%. Same exact reason why Whitner and McCargo are penciled in as being great already.
John from Riverside Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 He is doing pretty well in OTA right now.....
kgun Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 Roscoe is the short list. BTW--he didn't make the list, simply passed it along. 700557[/snapback] I guess you could be right there. He is part of the old regime and I don't know what Tolbert thinks of him either.
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 Who is Chris Denney? 700899[/snapback] Chris Kelsay and Ryan Denney combine to form....VOL.... Chris Denney
jarthur31 Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 Chris Kelsay and Ryan Denney combine to form....VOL.... Chris Denney 700922[/snapback] ROFL! My, what a sinful union............
MadBuffaloDisease Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 I guess you could be right there. He is part of the old regime and I don't know what Tolbert thinks of him either. Ask and ye shall receive: Receivers coach Tyke Tolbert is also excited about working with a healthy and one-year older Parrish, saying that Parrish will likely be utilized in Buffalo's three- and four-receiver sets. "He's going to be a good player for us," Tolbert said. "Every time he touches the ball, it's a possible touchdown." Because of that, Parrish's name won't be ignored when the Bills head to training camp in July. "Roscoe is no way forgotten," Tolbert said. "He's going to be a big-time, impact player for us this year. He's going to be big part of what we do." http://timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp?storyID=487323
