Aiken won't plead the fifth as Bills wide receiver

Don't ask Sam Aiken what he thinks his chances are of becoming the Buffalo Bills' fifth wide receiver.
Even in the company of veterans Eric Moulds, Josh Reed and Bobby Shaw and highly touted rookie Lee Evans - plus the other five wide receivers on Buffalo's roster - the second-year Bill doesn't consider himself "fifth receiver" material.

"I don't see myself competing for the fifth wide receiver spot," Aiken said this week. "I'm competing for third, second. Those are my goals coming to the season." ...more

Let the best man win if he plays better than Evans and Reed then he should be ahead of them. But i dont see him getting as many reps as those other guys in preseason to prove himself we will see.

Glad he is setting his goals high.

I think Aiken will get considerable time in multi-receiver sets, and will make us very happy.

agreed - in fact i think he could be our slant over the middle/#3 receiver. better size (bigger target) and ability to get open on those shorter slant routes and reed.

oops - than reed.

I think he´ll be OK. I watched him live several times at UNC and he was one of the very few reliable offensive weapons we had while our team was accomplishing remarkable feats such as losing to Duke, who held the active record for most consecutive games lost just two years ago. God we suck at football. How is that possible when we recruit in the top 25 every year?

Ask Pat Smith or Chris Brown.

Kim Sim may even be a food, who knows.

Evans isnt starting maybe or possibly anything better than #5 being a rook and all. If Sammy feels he can out play Shaw and Reed Im all for it. CC and Brown are vunerable as well. Guys we cut are gonna get a look by some other teams. :stone:

[I'M A BELIEVER]

Just because Evans is a rookie doesn't mean a damn thing. The only receiver whose spot is set in stone is Moulds and who knows if that will last all season....
