BuffaloBilliever Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Kiwaukee Thomas and... *sniff*... THE JOE, Leon Joe, were cut by the Lions today. Along with, oh how the mighty have fallen, Darnell Bing. Tis a sad day indeed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tis a sad day indeed... I thought Kiwaukee was a pretty good nickel back. He resigned with Detroit not us so no sympathy from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsVet Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Larry Tripplett also cut by the Seahawks...guess no return to Buffalo for him. To think, Marv and Dick gave this guy 5 year 18.5M just two seasons ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Anderson's Lunch Pail Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I thought Kiwaukee was a pretty good nickel back. He resigned with Detroit not us so no sympathy from me. I'm pretty sure he was cut by us. I think he re-signed with us last offseason, then got cut before free agency started this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongLiveRalph Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I thought Kiwaukee was a pretty good nickel back. It must've been fun not watching Bills games in '06 and '07. Kiwaukee was a 1st down machine for opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sen. John Blutarsky Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Marv was an OK coach but never a GM. How did Marv's drafts go? 2006 Donte Whitner - starter John McCargo - key reserve Ashton Youboty - nickel back Ko Simpson - starter Kyle Williams - starter Brad Butler - starter Keith Ellison - key reserve/ST player Terrence Pennington - cut in 2007 by BUF, cut yesterday by ATL Aaron Merz - out of football 2007 Marshawn Lynch - starter Paul Posluszny - starter Trent Edwards - starter Dwayne Wright - cut yesterday John Wendling - reserve safety/ST player Derek Schouman - #2 TE CJ Ah You - cut yesterday by Rams Marv's regime also got us: Fred Jackson - #2 RB John DiGiorgio - #2 MLB who started 14 games last year Justin Jenkins - #5 or #6 WR/ST gunner and all around beast John Corto - reserve OLB/ST Kirk Chambers - Starting RT at the moment and hopefully key reserve Ryan Neill - solid long snapper Derrick Dockery - starting LG Langston Walker - solid starting RT and current LT So that's 7 of 22 starters to come out of two drafts. He also snookered the Eagles into giving us a draft pick for Takeo Spikes which freed up salary. The Eagles released TKO after one year. He didn't give Darwin Walker more money even though we all wanted him to and Darwin went to Chicago and did zip. Chicago released him after one year and he is now in Carolina He robbed the Ravens in the McGahee trade, who after one year is hurt again and has fallen out of favor due to his work habits to the point that they drafted a RB to supplant him in Ray Rice. Did they miss on Tripplett? Sure did, but he was choice #2 after Ryan Pickett who signed elsewhere. Overall I think Marv did a terrific job of turning over the roster, bringing in young, talented, FAST players. Compare that to what we got out of the last two years of TD. Where's the problem again? marv brought some talent evaluation ability back to the team that had been lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's the problem again? marv brought some talent evaluation ability back to the team that had been lacking. AMEN. I think Marv did a terrific job while in the front office! Although I'm fairly sure Brandon and Co. had plenty of input throughout the process even when Marv was there. No FO is going to get ever decision right. Tripplett was a huge miss (as was jason webster) but recent poor decisions are heavily outweighed by great moves. I'm very happy with the direction this team has taken the past couple years in terms of players brought in, team philosophy and FO structuring. Marv was a catalyst (and a great PR move) in pulling us out of the mess left by Mr. Donahoe. GO BILLS :worthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt in KC Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Speaking of former Bills, (FA) LB Mario Haggan was just suspended. I wondered why we let him go when he was a solid ST contributer. http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d8...mp;confirm=true The suspended players: Adrian Awason, DE, 4 games; Jonathan Clinkscale, G, 4 games; Tony Gonzalez, WR, 4 games; Mario Haggan, LB, 4 games; Travis Henry, RB, at least one year; Luke Petitgout, T, 4 games; Dexter Reid, DB, 4 games; Darrion Scott, DE, 3 games; E.J. Underwood, DB, 4 games; Jimmy Williams, DB, 5 games; Cedrick Wilson, WR, 1 game. Henry is old news.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis in NC Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Living in a van down by the river? LOL! That's what pops into my head when I hear of a motivational speaker... Maybe he gives talks to high school teams, to wit: "Your offensive line isn't going to amount to JACK SQUAT!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
