Anyone remember a guy by the name of Angelo Crowell

[BILLSROCK1212]

I think we lost him 2 weeks ago.....was supposed to be a good player then went on IR for some bogus reason. Yea that guy, the guy everyone thought was one of our top 3 defensive players....yea that guy. Anyone think he would be in the top 3 now? If it means that this franchise will become a better all around team by losing him this offseason and signing someone else for either LB or some other position I am all for it!!

A healthy Crowell would have been a great piece of the defense. Unfortunately it seems he delayed surgery until the worst possible time, and he paid the price for it.

Re: Anyone remember a guy by the name of Angelo Crowell

I heard from a friend that works security at the stadium that he was pulling some BS just before the season with this injury because he wanted the team to sign him long term and OBD wasn't going to play that horse ass game so they put him on IR for the season.

That's called hard ball if it's true!

I was very impressed with Crowell his first year playing. Seems like it went downhill after that. Definitely replaceable.

Who is this Crowell you speak of?





I haven't noticed Ellison ONCE on the field ...

Re: Anyone remember a guy by the name of Angelo Crowell

Lets not kid ourselves. This defense would only be better if we had a healthy Crowell. It's great that we're still doing well, but it's too bad things turned out the way they did. It's not like we couldn't use another good player.

Re: Anyone remember a guy by the name of Angelo Crowell

Crowell will never be a Bill again, but we can still upgrade over Keith Ellison to make this defense even stronger.

I wouldn't be opposed to drafting a MLB with our 1st pick (assuming a worthy player is available), and then moving Poz to SLB.

Re: Anyone remember a guy by the name of Angelo Crowell

Good player, made a stupid decision and now he'll never play for the Bills again.

Scheduling surgery a few days before the start of your contract season is not a smart move.

Re: Anyone remember a guy by the name of Angelo Crowell

On one side this team would have more depth and be better on defense with a healthy Crowell but on the flip side he tried to screw the fans and his teammates by pulling what he did. IMO if you try to screw the fans and your teammates you deserve what you got.

We need unity on this team not indiviudals.

Re: Anyone remember a guy by the name of Angelo Crowell

i still dont buy the crowell on ir to teach him a lesson crap. that would be just stupid

so what if he wanted a new contract, the bills dont have to give him one. they obviously have decided hes not 'core' and were prepared to let him walk after this season. that leaves crowell with zero leverage

i strongly suspect the situation is what it appears on face value - a guy trying to wait out an injury until it got better and it just never did

besides, crowell has been around, he knows how the personnel game is played. he would have to be an absolute ****** to try to hold the bills hostage with his injury. it doesnt take nostradumbass to predict what would happen to his career and earning potential as a FA if he were to pull what you people seem to want to believe he did

but even if he did try to pull something its far better for dick to just call him into his office and remind him hes under contract and hes only massively screwing himself if he tries anything stupid. thats a two minute conversation and it would be plain stupid for the bills to slap the IR tag on him just to send a message like that

if the bills were confident he woulda been back in a few weeks you can bet your ass they woulda kept him active - even if he was being a little baby. a disgruntled Crowell is still better than an enthusiastic ellison

no, the bills put him in IR for exactly the reason they said - they couldnt determine how long he would be out and they needed the roster spot
