If McCree Signed, He Would Play SS

[Lexwhat]

Sorry if this was posted before.

I alluded to this in another post. I thought Whitner would be better at FS, but I didn't think we had someone who could play SS.

If McCree signs, I would love this move.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"McCree is scheduled to visit Denver today and said he likely would choose between the Bills and Broncos by Thursday or Friday. If he picks Buffalo, he said he probably would play strong safety. That would cause Donte Whitner to shift to more of a play-making, center-field role and bump Ko Simpson to a backup spot."

"Perry Fewell was my DB coach my rookie year and he taught me everything I know,” McCree said."

"Denver probably will want McCree to play free safety, because the Broncos re-signed veteran John Lynch to play closer to the line at strong safety.
“I’d like to play strong safety, but I do have the versatility to play both,” McCree said."

Oh, and also in the article:

"Meanwhile, the Bills aren’t necessarily committed to finding an upgrade for Simpson. However, Buffalo could use more experience at safety, and the Chargers cut McCree this week. McCree is a fan of Bills defensive coordinator Perry Fewell, for whom he played in Jacksonville in 2001 and 2002."

Gotta love our 8th pick overall in '06 hasn't impressed enough to lock down the strong safety spot.

I am all for depth without breaking the bank...McCree is a solid but not spectacular saftey. I watched him a fair amount in Carolina.
With injuries it gives Buffalo a lot more flexibility.

Here we go again with this Whitner nonsense.

Here we go again with this Whitner nonsense.

Seriously! Whitner was sending people to the hospital on a weekly basis. We had a injury riddled defense that was patched together with 3rd stringers and practice squad players… you have no clue what role Whitner was asked to play (nor do I), so how can he be evaluated like that.
