goldenster95 Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 He was the Bills' #1 choice in the 2000 draft . . . he can't be that much of a bust, can he? http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/news/2002/08/20/bills_cuts_ap/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J33Edwards Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 I'd take him...but then I don't have a team do I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 I saw that earlier today, I was thinking the same thing. It appears though that he is coming back from a neck injury - I am sure someone though will take a flyer on him. He became expendable because the Bills inked Chidi Ahanotu yesterday.

goldenster95 Posted August 20, 2002 Author Share Posted August 20, 2002 After checking around with some Bills fans, all of them who had an opinion of him hated his guts . . . don't know if he didn't perform well in Buffalo cuz he was adjusting to new systems or if he just svcked . . . In any case, with a review like that, I doubt we'll see him here . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J33Edwards Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 As a first round draft pick goes he sucked...but he may very well be better then the backups the skins currently have... who knows...if Marvin ends up wanting him then I'll take that as a good sign...

Posse81 Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Good point. Whatever Marvin decides is good enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murilo Bustamante Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 I don't know. In general, I'm against shelving guys you have had for all camp to pick up a guy that gets cut in disgrace from another team, unless (like at guard) the situation is desperate. At DE, we have Smith and Wynn to start. L. Jackson has come along well and should make the roster as a pass-rushing specialist. And now Powell looked good as well. Do we need another DE at the expense of Jackson or Powell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 I am all in favor of adding an extra younger defensive lineman but as others have said I don't want to trade an attitude case for a guy like Arp or Powell that has worked hard and put out maximum effort in the preseason. you need some overachievers on your team to keep the stars focused on the ball, so to speak. I remember Larry Bird once crediting Eric Fernsten a backup center with helping get the Celtics to an NBA championship. He said the guy made him and Robert Parish work so hard in practice that they were well prepared for the pounding under the boards in the games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonnyJ Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 My guess is that he's Andre Johnson playing DE. Great measurables, but he just can't play. Why bother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVskinsfan Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Does he play Guard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkyalligator Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 When i first saw that he had been cut i was thinking why shouldn't the Redskins get him but then I thought about how hard Cowsette and Powell have been playing and realize that it would be a bad idea to break this defense up by adding a primadonna first rounder.
