Marcus Easley to Defense

[Figster]

Its the off season so I wanted to run this crazy Idea by everyone.


Marcus Easley has excelled at anything the Buffalo Bills have asked him to do so why not try Easley out at Safety or DB.

Easley likes to hit judging by his special teams play and he might become very adapt at intercepting the football.


What say ye?

He has excelled at anything the Bills have asked him to do? Um, why is he a complete non-factor as a receiver?

Because TJ Graham is taking up his rightful place on the roster.

Easley led the NFL in total yardage and receptions last preseason,

How many starts has Easley been given as a WR during the regular season?

Its Kind of hard to be a factor when your not even given a chance to play.

You are right. Given the depth, skill and experience of the Bills WR position over the past few seasons it is easy to see why he has not gotten a chance to get on the field.

Why not just cut him? He's a bum.

Well, in his defense, IIRC he was injured for 3 of the 4 years. Wasn't last season his only full season? If he's such a bum, he musta done something to hold that roster spot. As someone pointed out he had a good preseason last year.

Why not cut him?

A) He was the best player on special teams last year.

B) he is a CHEAP player to keep.

George Wilson didn't turn out so bad after making the change.

Re: Marcus Easley to Defense

The only thing he's excelled at is landing on IR.

He is probably the worst kick returner the Bills have had in 20 years..however he is good on kick and punt coverage.

Does that speak to the quality of Easley or the lack of quality of the other WR options we've had over the last few years? I honestly can't think of anyone that we cut in camp who would have been better. He was the least bad option.

As far as moving him to D, why? I'd rather take a chance on a rookie who actually plays D. If Easley contributed more on ST and we had a logjam of WR's, I could see making the move to try to keep him on the roster. But he's done nothing to make me think he still deserves a roster spot.
