I wanna talk about Troy Vincent for a minute

[Pride]

Anyone else to the point they want to call this guy up on the phone, tell him to "man up" and get his ass on the field?

This was supposed to be a 2-3 week injury! And here it is the end of November and this guy hasnt played at all!

[Tatonka]

when was he hurt again? i cant even remember.

[Pride]

I think after the 2nd preseason game?!?

[EDS]

Well, I am currently in my eighth week of recovery from stress fractures in both feet - an injury which can heal in as few as 2-4 weeks. The injury has prevented me from participating in the sports I compete in - namely running, cycling and triathlon. When an injury takes a long time to heal it is very tough on the psyche.

I want TV out on the field but I am not going to insult his manhood because his injury is not healing quickly.

I think against Oakland.

well.. since you wont.. i will..

get out there, troy.. you puss..

sorry.. i am a hockey player.. we just get stitches and get back out there..

[BAM]

I got tired of seeing him being ruled out in the injury report weeks ago. If he comes back, it should be at safety... as others have suggested.

stitches are very different than torn ligaments.

I'm guessing it's going to come down to wanting the better player on the field. Baker or McGee.

[LABillsFan]

I hate to say this but will he have that much of an impact? Yes there are some weaknesses in the secondary but if the offense would of clicked earlier, the standings might read 7-4 next to the Bills name. I think it was a waste at this point. Yes McGee has gotten burned, but 3 games lost due to ineptitude on the Offensive side of the ball. I'll consider him a Bill next season, right now he is no better that a practice squad player waiting to get called up.

[Iehoshua]

I say he is FS when he get back. End of story.

[ryjam282]

There is no way they bench Baker right now and I doubt they bench McGee either. I think TV will get some time as Nickel corner then ease him back into his #2 spot.

This is a good point, if Baker is performing well, then why bench him for the guy who is older? Perhaps Vincent may be a bench warmer or a 3rd CB...

Why baker hasn't don't anything spectacular if you ask me.

Vincent is a star player. Even though he is older he still has more talent. Now if he isn't cut out to play safety that is another story.

[Jan Reimers]

His injury has given McGee, Greer and Baker an opportunity to develop. I think he may no longer be a big part of our future plans, except as backup and mentor - if we can afford him in a non-starting role.

I thought you were a goalie? BIG Difference. :peace:

[Crisis]

He got injured in the Pats home game.

[Mr. Cynical]

To be honest, at this point I really could care less about TV. He's on the tail end of his career at CB, so unless he can show he can excel at safety, may as well release him.

[Crisis]

Something had to of gone wrong in his surgery. I hope his knee is progressing, atleast a little bit.

[Mahdi]

Troy Vincent is a pro-bowler and one of the best cover corners in the league...this time off has certainly given Mcgee some valuable experience. But I would rather see TV and nate clements covering Chambers and Booker and Mcgee on their #3 which would be a mismatch to our advantage.
