BillsGuyInMalta Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Florence wouldnt be a bad signing, at the very least he'd give us decent competition for McKelvin for the 2nd starting spot. Winborn would be a decent signing as well, but only as depth. I dont trust him to man the other starting OLB spot.
Erik Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Link I like the approach so far...they should go for quantity AND quality...they should be in on everyone. We need an influx of talent on this team. Leave no stone unturned.
BillsFan Trapped in Pats Land Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Winborn seems like a better option in this scheme than Florence, who had an truly dreadful 2008 season.
Astrobot Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 "Linebacker Jamie Winborn (5’11” 230) is an eight-year NFL veteran that is coming off a career season in 2008. Making 14 starts for the Denver Broncos last season after replacing Boss Bailey at strong side linebacker, Winborn led the team in tackles (117) and pass breakups (11). He also had a half sack." I'm excited about Winborn. About Florence: "San Diego’s former second-round pick (2003) had two of his best seasons in 2006 and 2007 recording over 120 tackles, 23 pass breakups and five interceptions. Florence also had a pair of interceptions in the 2007 postseason with one sealing a Wild Card victory over Tennessee for the Chargers and the other coming against New England’s Tom Brady in the AFC Championship game."

Winborn had a killer year, for Denver, last year. Florence didn't see the field much, last year, so it's hard to get a handle on where he is, right now.
Numark Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I agree with the philosophy of quantity and quality. Our biggest problem (bigger than coaches and starters), is the lack of depth. We as a team cannot deal with injuries. We just have terrible depth. We need players like this on the team.
LynchMob23 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Another linebacker to note is Anthony Waters of the Chargers who was cut today. He was their 2007 3rd round pick that spent that year in the McGahee IR-and-develop-NFL-style and then was a depth/ST'er for this year. In our system he could be the blitzing SLB we can rotate in.
jax bill backer Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Florence is horrible i have jags season tix and i couldn't tell you how many TD's he gave up... Jags cut him after 1 year.
robkmil Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Link they add depth and training camp competition Depth is much needed, the losing started kast season when we lost starters and valuable backups to injuries
In space no one can hear Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Link Thanks for the link. More crapola. Sounds like possible signings. John Guy is all over those guys like bees to honey. Or something like that.
The Rev.Mattb74 ESQ. Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 A little off topic but I was thinking since the Broncos are changing schemes defensively what are they planning on doing with Dummerville. He is not big enough to be an end in a 3-4, I wonder if they would be willing to part with him.
ROCCEO Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Winborn would be an upgrade over Ellison but far from ideal. They could be bringing in these guys because they share the same agent as a guy who wasn't officially a free agent until midnight that the Bills had actual interest in. The bills feign interest in the one client and wink-nod the agent as in "We are really looking for new interior line depth, maybe you should consider staying in town and oh yeah, leave your phone on". Its just a thought. As far as florence goes one has to consider that when he was in San Diego, their pass defense mostly stunk. Then he goes to Jacksonville, where their pass defense falls flat on its face. Unless we have a Will James-esque plan for him, I am opposed to adding him to the roster. He may be an acceptable depth corner but the Jaguars grossly overpaid for him.

So am I, let's go after this guy, (He led Denver in tackles and had a lot of pass break-ups) seems like a good fit.
Steely Dan Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Good depth guy who could give Ko a run for his job
Fan in Chicago Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Link Why are we looking at any CB ? We should be pretty well stacked at CB. Is it possible we are planning on trading/cutting one of our CBs ? Or is Greer as good as gone so we need someone for depth ?
Gordio Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Sounds like these guys are average to below average & are probably just happy to collect a paycheck every week playing football at this stage of their careers. They will fit in perfectly with Dickhead Jauron & the Buffalo Bills.
