Tim Anderson's Lunch Pail Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 I have given this a lot of thought, and at this moment I believe Lee Evans is the most irreplaceable player on this team. If there was one person that we could not lose right now for an entire season, is Evans. Now, I am big on strong offensive line play. I don't even necessarily believe we have to re-sign Evans in the offseason. But in terms of what we're going to do this season, I think it would absolutely crush us to lose him. If Kirk Chambers had to replace Jason Peters, that would be terrible. However, I feel like even a below average left tackle to replace him would allow us to occasionally do something. If Lee Evans went down, we would be stuck with a guy that can't get off the line of scrimmage (Parrish), a mediocre possession receiver (Reed), and a rookie wide receiver (Hardy). Our offense would not be able to run the ball with defenses constantly putting 8 men in the box, and our passing game would be even less effective than last year. I don't expect Evans to put up big numbers this year. Maybe only 70 catches. But his threat - I believe - is the most important part of this team right now. Next year I might say Peters after a year of seasoning for Hardy. But not right now.
BuffaloBilliever Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Short, speedy, quick, playmaking receiver? Yeah. can't replace that . I say Peters is irreplacable.

stuckincincy Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Lindell, followed by Moorman and the long snapper. If you can't kick effectively, you are 53 pieces of toast residing on the same plate that holds the other non-playoff clubs.

You could make the claim that Parrish fits that bill (maybe two inches shorter and ten pounds lighter), but you can't say he would be able to effectively replace Evans.

BillsPride12 Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 It's gotta be Jason Peters, it only took us 15 years to find a stud LT now we better not screw up and lose him.
stuckincincy Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 switch moorman and lindell and you are right Yep, that is so - punters deny field position more than placekickers.
eball Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 It's gotta be Jason Peters, it only took us 15 years to find a stud LT now we better not screw up and lose him. New screen name obie wan?
H2o Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Most irreplacable player on the Bills?........................ ...................... Donte Whitner.
My Friends Call Me Tebucky Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Peters. I'd put Stroud and Schobel in the mix too.
billrooter Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 It's gotta be Jason Peters, it only took us 15 years to find a stud LT now we better not screw up and lose him. What a laugh we are atleast three years away from losing this guy, he has three years left on his contract to play hardball, he was an undrafted free agent what 3-4 years ago now he makes like 4 million a year, i am sorry i don't feel sorry for the guy!
Dan Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Definitely Peters. He' so good we should renegotiate his contract every year to make sure he is the highest paid player in the league every year.
