Vincent being a big help

[The_Philster]

I was listening to WGR on the way into work this morning and Howard Simon was talking about yesterday's final mini-camp session. Being the last session before training camp, most of the players were only too happy to get out of there and get home for the next 6 weeks. There were obviously the standard interview sessions with the press of course after practice...first the players and then Jauron. You'd think that by the time Jauron was done talking to the press all the players would be gone, right?
WRONG! It wasn't until after Jauron was done talking that 3 players wrapped up their individual work in practice...Troy Vincent was staying behind with Ko Simpson and Ashton Youboty to help them them out with the defensive schemes and what would be expected of them. He also spent some significant time with WR Roscoe Parrish.....working with him to show him what kind of stuff he was going to see in camp as far as coverages and how to deal with bump-and-run.

He's one of the class acts in the NFL..I hated when he left the phins, I thought he'd retire as one.

Makes me feel very confident that our rookies will be well prepared for this season.

Re: Vincent being a big help

I think he'd make a great coach or personel guy but doesn't have enough left to be safety but maybe he will show more this year, maybe as much as two years ago.

Re: Vincent being a big help

don't say that.

That is terrible.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Re: Vincent being a big help

Vincent has a reputation for being one of the smarter guys in the NFL. His skills have declined with age, and the reason he's still here is to do exactly what he's doing. It's good that he's embraced the role and the Bills will benefit from it.

G. Host is right- he'll probably get a coaching gig in another year or two.

You shouldn't hate.

Nah. He's the VP/GM of the New Orleans Saints and has led them to the NFC title game two years in a row.

well if that's the case, then Vincent is the second coming of Jesus because the Son of God is the only one who could pull off that kind of miracle.

What better reason to cut him?

Someone posted a link earlier this offseason saying the Bills had approached him to coach instead of play. That would be his best option at this point.
