Donahoe bringing some more bums to work out

[The Outsider]

Bills combine

The Bills held their annual mini-scouting combine this week. Every bye week under President and General Manager Tom Donahoe, the Bills have invited roughly 75 street free agents for a day of workouts. It's believed the Bills are the only team that do that, but the Bills think it's worth keeping track of all the potential diamonds in the rough looking for football work. Among those in the group were defensive end R-Kal Truluck and quarterback Chris Rix. Truluck, who played at Cortland State, had five sacks for the Chiefs two years ago but got cut by the Packers this summer. Rix played for Florida State. The Bills also had quarterback Rohan Davey, the former Pats and LSU quarterback, in last week. Donahoe credited John Guy, Bills director of pro personnel, with thoroughly beating the bushes.
"John Guy does a great job," Donahoe said. "He's personnel 24 hours a day. . . . We've been fortunate. The Daimon Sheltons and Josh Stamers who we've added to our team over the years is not an accident. It's through a lot of hard work on John's part."

Tom 'kool aid man' donahoe has done it again...oooh yah! Is this pole smoker is completely clueless, is the outsider expected to digest this tripe? Who is this guy fooling? Chris Rix???? Another Chris Weinke Dinkie Doo if you ask me...Rohan Davey? Why on earth is Donahoe looking at bums nobody else wanted? He cut Doug Flutie 5 years ago...and Flutie replaced Davie in New England. Do the math jack!

The question that is really on the outsiders mind is when is this guy going to learn that bringing in other teams rejects are not the answer. The excuses that come from one bills drive never cease to amaze me.

I actually don't think it's that stupid......what does it hurt by doing this?

While I don't agree with several things TD has done while he's been here, this is something I actually support. Ya never know...

Agreed. We have found some good gems that haven't come the regular drafting way - in fact, we are probably one of the highest teams in terms of starters and players on the team that have gone undrafted.

Yes! Mighty impressive; we've got some real superstars there. Should win the Super Bowl now. Oops, we haven't signed anyone yet.....probably some major bidding battles.

the outsider seems to think there is a very distinct difference between being overly thorough and overly incompetent.....the kool aid might have you fooled...but he don't fool me homeboy! That's exactly why you have this 'holcombmania running wild' rubbish on your signature...the outsider thinks you've been brainwashed by the PR hype machine at one bills drive...open you eyes and join the revolution!

Its just more of Dona-Houdini's hocus pocus to get you to buy tickets. He loves to give smoke and mirrors like phrases like, "we are a competitive team". Ya know, competitive in the AFC East where the division leader is 4 and 4. Using statements like, "we are only 1 game back", and we also are 2 games behind 500.

A "competitive" team is NOT the goal. The goal is to actually go to the playoffs, and then win a Super Bowl, Mr. Dona-Houdini.

Pull a Dwight Freeney, Tarik Glenn, Reggie Wayne out of your hat and then I will be impressed.

My brother is a avid Packers fan, and was very dissappointed to see R-Kal cut. He actually is quite a good player, and would make a solid depth addition at DE.
