Hossage Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Who wants to see him here? Fair enough, gents. I think he played well enough at ohio state to warrant another chance, as joining a team can be overwhelming.
Fewell733 Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 you know I thought the same thing when I heard he'd been cut by the Bears. I figured he'd be good practice squad material at the least. But, I then looked up some of the Chicago papers' reaction to him and changed my mind. He wasn't getting to the ball on defense and wasn't aggressive enough for special teams.
John Cocktosten Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Who wants to see him here? He benefited from the Big Ten sucking the last couple of years. For the Bears to not put a 5th round pick on the practice squad says it all.
billybob Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 His ankle he injured his senior season is still not 100% maybe it never will be- a smaller LB who at one time had 4.5 type speed now has 4.7 type speed- McGahee never got back the speed that made him so feared in college and that's what had most teams having him as a 3-4 round pick, of course not for our Tommy D who was so much smarter than everyone else.
Thoner7 Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Id rather get Brian Brohm, now he showed stuff in college that would warrent a second chance.

beckdaddydrunk88 Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 What about Graham Harrell from Texas Tech. I know his numbers are inflated from playing in a spread offense, but it looks like the kid can play. Found a couple highlight vids on youtube that show him making good reads, buying time in the pocket and making deep and touch throws. I know they are highlight clips and only show the positives, but i wouldn't mind having him on our practice squad.
In space no one can hear Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 From Rotoworld: Free agent rookie linebacker Marcus Freeman worked out for the Bills on Friday. Freeman was the Bears' fifth-round pick in the 2009 Draft. The Bills need some depth at the linebacker spot with starter Paul Posluszny out for 4-6 weeks.
Fewell733 Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 interesting. It seems possible that we'd elevate Bowen and replace him with Freeman on the practice squad.
Wilson from Gamehendge Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 I would like to see this happen for us. I think he would be a good LB in our young corps, and he could earn a chance to start at WOLB. He was a stud in college and had a good combine. http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2009/02/23/some-lb-40-times/ Ohio State LB Marcus Freeman continued his strong workout with a 4.67. He also had 30 reps on the bench press. He had a MUCH better showing than many LB's taken FAR ahead of him. I think with the right coaching, in the right situation, he would become a starting caliber LB. God knows we need some.
Huuuge Bills Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 I think with the right coaching, in the right situation, he would become a starting caliber LB. God knows we need some. Well, there's your problem.
Big Turk Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Who wants to see him here? Fair enough, gents. I think he played well enough at ohio state to warrant another chance, as joining a team can be overwhelming. Big Ten gets rocked by SEC every year because they have better athletes...just another example...
Tsaikotic Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 kinda funny cuz I had Freeman in my mock-draft in round 5...makes me kind of wonder just how bad Bowens is if the Bills are looking at other teams cuts instead of bringing him up from the PS...either way, whatever helps the team most is best.
