Mikie2times Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 I know he's a UDFA so spare me the line about he has to make the roster first. Being a Western Michigan Alum I witnessed Nance's jump ball skill first hand. Needless to say the guy can elevate, and he does a fantastic job catching the ball at it's highest point. If done right the fade is a very difficult move for DB to defend and virtually impossible to defend against someone with Nance’s height and leaping ability. His route running/speed/agility is not NFL caliber yet, but for the time being if Nance can just become our jump ball man in the Red Zone it could make the difference between making the playoffs and being at home.

MadBuffaloDisease Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 I saw that Nance had a VJ of only 33". I thought that was pretty weak for a WR. But I guess at 6'4" that's not as much of an issue, although you'd like to see the guy get closer to 40". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HE LOOKS LIKE THE NUTTY PROFFESOR!!! Back to seriousness... did Nance go undrafted because of his injuries or ??? I'm a little baffled how he could put up such huge stats & go undrafted.

L.EvansHands Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Went undrafted because of the injury two years ago (though he put up good numbers again the next year) and also because I think he only did IT one year without big Ben throwing the ball, and most likely based on the strength of the teams he faced in his division. But tis just mere speculation on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UB2SF Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Maybe this is a LAMP reply, but... ...my girlfriend is a coworker of Nance's sister. On the day Nance was signed, his sister sent an e-mail to dozens of people, saying that she had never really paid any attention to the Bills before, but now she's going to be "the world's biggest Bills fan". I certainly appreciated the bandwagon-jumping sentiment, but I told my girlfriend to refer Nance's sister to TBD in order to get a sense of what it means to be a true Bills fan before making such claims! The passion, the intensity, the cynicism, the masochism, the boatloads of money being spent watching the team lose... now *that's* what Bills fan-dom really means! And yes, I'm one of the people spending a huge portion of my disposable income watching losses. Go Martin Nance! Go Bills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJsackedagain Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Darn, I was hoping this was a post about Jim Nance being the team's Ernest Wilford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 At 6'4 with his arm length that should be more then enough VJ. True. Based on his height alone, he's already got 4-5" on most CB's, and with his longer arms probably has another 2" or so. Still a 33-1/2" VJ is pretty weak for a WR. But it likely won't make much of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernest Wilford 700993[/snapback] Maybe. Key is improving speed, cutting, which equates to getting open besides just being tall, string with good hands. Speed and in and out of breaks are HIS key to make the team. From what I saw of highlights, his college performance in those areas don't equate to an impact player in the NFL. IMO...

IMO... 701549[/snapback] I agree that he is not NFL ready in those areas, all of which play a critical role to an every down receiver. But what I see happening with Nance is him making this team because he can provide our receivers with a dimension we just don't have right now. In the past we haven't run many fade patterns and if we did it was to Moulds. With Moulds gone we have no WR on this roster that can run that pattern around the goal line. With the RZ problems we had last year that dimension could win Nance a spot he probably wouldn't win on a team with larger WR's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
