"How to Go From Three Tight Ends to Zero in Three Simple Steps"

[Beebe's Kid]

Any UDFA floating around that might be worth a damn? Who are the old timers that haven't caught on any where. Algie Crumpler is floating around... How about Mark Chmura? Ed "Go" West?

I am obviously joking about Chmura and West, but TE is very serious. I would have thought Chan and Buddy to address it, but now what little we had is in the crapper.

Seriously, who is available?

[Hogwasher]

Lets find an offensive lineman who can catch and just run the ball.

[Johnny Bugmenot]

Maybe we can get some use out of Demetrius Bell and give him the reverse Jason Peters.

[BillsWin]

I can play tight end. :idunno:

[NOT THE DUDE...]

let me look on madden free agents....

[wmoz11]

LJ Smith? Ben Troupe?

[Bmax]

LJ Smith...is he even healthy enough to still play...

The Bucs have 5 TE's & will most likely only keep 3. They should cut a couple decent prospects. One that is on the bubble has been described as a cross between Stevens & Winslow. He could be pretty good, sorry I can't remember his name right now.

[SABURZFAN]

they may have to pull Paul Seymour out of mothballs.

[JCBills]

I'd give Ben Troupe a look he was decent a few years back.

[wmoz11]

It's almost too late to bring a guy in and acclimate him to our system. We're going to have to live through week 1 with Matthews and Stupar and then hopefully Schouman will be back.

People seem to forget that he was on pace for around 70 catches last year when he got hurt.

[Bmax]

No we won't Chan has already said that Buddy was looking for someone to bring in....

Steve Heiden
Michael Gaines...
Sean Ryan is the 5th TE in Tenn..played for KC last year.. From Buffalo.. Would be good addition for blocking if and when he is cut by Tenn...


Bmax

[more cowbell]

He is?


lol last i checked crumpler was on the pats?



I would like to see Michael Matthews get some more playing time...he seems to be a very good blocking TE

Bringing someone in =/= playing. No one we bring in will play week 1.

[ServoBillieves]

Let's Go Buffalo.

And he probably will never make 70 catches in his career. Schouman has some talent, but he also hardly ever is even remotely fully fit. He is pretty much the definition of 'injury prone'.

I now believe that Schouman is a wasted roster spot, as he will likely only see the field, eventually, for a couple of games, before getting injured again.

While he may just be incredibly unlucky, the fact remains that he has spent more time crocked, than fit, in his time with the Bills.

The old coaching 'quote' when the question is asked about who the best players on a team are, with the reply being 'The players who are available every Sunday' pretty much has to apply at some point.

[Johnny Bugmenot]

Michael Gaines... Wasn't he a Bill for a season a few years back? The name rings a bell.

[Bmax]

Wasn't he a Bill for a season a few years back? The name rings a bell.


Yes and he had a decent season....Good blocker....

Who ever is brought in will be with the team week one...Schouman is too small for me to be on this team...Good HB type...But does he fit what the Bills want to do?

We are just looking for a third guy until Nelson comes back..Unless the guy out plays Stupar and Matthews which should n't take much of an effort...

Where is Derek Fine when you need him?
