The Mario effect: McKinnie

[ParanoidAndroid]

Mario Williams and the Bills have now convinced two teams to make roster moves on their o-line.

1. Week 4 Mario sacks Flacco 4.5 times and the next day Bryant McKinnie was placed on the trading block.
2. Week 7 Mario has 2 sacks against Miami including a pivotal 4th quarter sack-fumble and the next day, the Fins trade a draft pick for Bryant McKinnie.

Irony at its finest.

He's not going to help them one bit. Just another turnstile.

Re: The Mario effect: McKinnie

Yep. The Dolphins just gave up a pick for a 35 year-old o-lineman that just basically got replaced for not playing up to par. Nice move, indeed. I wonder what his salary is because aren't the Phins tight against the cap after this season?

Mario only had one sack in the Ravens game, 4.5 was against the Panthers.

PFF has Clabo rated as the 66th tackle in the league... McKinnie 65th.

Oops. It was still the Bills game that pushed McKinnie out the door.

Re: The Mario effect: McKinnie

Wasn't Clabo the guy that Buddy tried pretty hard to sign a few years back, but in the end the Bills were just leverage for him to re-sign with his old team?

Really? McKinnie was a pro-bowler at 31, and had many good years, but he has seriously declined. I don't think he deserves to be lumped in with Mike Williams.

This is the usually the typical Bills move. "We can make it work"; "This time it will be different"; "Yeah he's bad but he has serious potential and he hasn't worked with our coaches"

Fair enough. But worthy of a number 7 pick?

Re: The Mario effect: McKinnie

both guys were considered absolute blue chippers that draft. williams is arguably the biggest bust in bills history, at least mckinnie was good and played a long time. still a desperate move by the fish, which is good. spend those picks miami, spend em up

I think the 24 sacks before Sunday had a lot to do with it also.

Oh noes, whatever what will we do without a conditional 6th round pick?

I'll take "things the Dolphins should have addressed before the season" for $100.
