gobillsinytown Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 "But a curious move for the Jets. Thomas Jones looks done, they have no one else, and the Jets' O-line still looks suspect" I think Bret's going to have an interesting year.

WVUFootball29 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Players I would look at out of these cuts (not suggesting we sign them) C Greg Eslinger WR Mario Urrutia DL Keilen Dykes DE Johnny Dingle LB Ahmad Brooks I always thought that Eslinger was a solid C while at Minnesota, but there is just something about good centers in college not always transferring well to the pro level. Still I think he'd be worth a workout to see if he would fit with the Bills. Mario Urrutia shouldn't have left Louisville early, a decision that may cost him a pro career. He was a solid threat for Brian Brohm and has good size for a WR. However, he lacks true speed and his route running leaves something to be desired. He could be a low risk, high reward prospect for a team willing to wait 2 years for a return on investment. Dykes and Dingle would have also benefited by staying at WVU for another year. However, with Rich Rod jumping ship for more cash in Michigan, many WVU players opted to go pro instead of stay their final year. Both these players have good football intelligence and moderate ability. However, they need more time to develop and add more size to succeed at the NFL level. Brooks was a very good LB for Virginia and was pretty impressive in 2006 for the Bengals. He tore a groin muscle in 2007 and missed the vast amount of the season and probably isn't totally recovered just yet. Also had an off field incident in April where he was accused of punching a woman during a fight with her neighbor. Still could be worth a look should the LBs start dropping like flies again.

Sen. John Blutarsky Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 The team also placed tackle King Dunlap (ankle). I call shenanigans on the Eagles on Dunlap. they wanted to keep him but had a number crunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sen. John Blutarsky Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Willie Anderson anyone? I know he's old and was beat up last year. He's one season removed from the Pro Bowl and our tackle depth is underwhelming with a rookie and a guy with a torn rotator cuff leading the way. I think Willie might be worth a call and a physical. Even at his advanced age he can come in off the bench in a pinch and start a couple games for you if the starters get hurt. Plus it'd be a nice message to Peters and his agent "We're making plans without you and BTW Willie's going to get some of the money we aren't paying you."
