Re: Bills sign OT Wayne Hunter

That sort of means you need to be familiar with how terrible he is too though, considering you're the one who knew enough to bench him in training camp for being terrible 3 years ago, and he has no body of work since because every one else thought he was terrible too to the point he's not been on a roster in 2 years.

This was just a terrible decision. Dude is going to be 34 in two days, his terrible is certain.

His upside is that his nonexistent skills are declining and he might get a burst of old-man strength.

I guess my ultimate point is that you need bodies in training camp. We are thin at OT. If he was signed simply to have a knowledgeable body for fill-in duty then it makes a lot of sense. You can't run a practice that requires 4 OTs when you only have 3, for example. If they honestly think he's going to contribute when the live bullets are flying, then we are even more desperate than i thought.

But i could see myself signing a familiar face for the purpose of running a camp.

Time will tell. For my part, i'm just praying that the theory that Marrone is so bad of a coach that our OL looked far worse than it is capable of being is true.

I don't think there's any question that Marrone did a really bad job with that unit. How good (or bad) we are on the OL remains to be seen. I know we have some big dudes though. Lets hope they can benefit from a superior scheme. I rest easy knowing full well that virtually any scheme is better than the one we ran the last few years.

Sans Levitre, this is the same unit that helped spiller gain over 5 yards per carry under Chan Gailey.

Hunter cannot possibly be a serious part of the plan at that spot. I hope...

I asked this before and it still boggles me. If we are going to bring in guys to help install the system, why are they rex's guys? Roman should be bringing in his old guys to work the offense.

Camp body. Calm down.

Hoping UDFA OT Chandler is a catch as a developmental prospect.

If we need to complain about this, it shows it's down time and we're bored. (" I haven't *****ed about the Bills in weeks ! Give me anything ! " )

I think that's an oversimplification, I believe Rex was quoted a few weeks ago expressing concern about the OL depth and that he was going to be adding a veteran. I don't think Hunter is signed just as a warm camp body which is why people are understandably concerned/upset.

Or... maybe it's the move is just to remind Henderson & Kuoandijo that they had better keep working.

I would of rather risked a pick on Battle in the Supplemental Draft then have signed Wayne Hunter.

They could still submit a pick for Battle. I don't think Wayne Hunter is going to stop them from adding young talent if they have the opportunity.

I hope they do.

This OL needs a lot more talent to be competitive.

AND if we let Glenn walk next year, Holy Crap!

Is that supposed to make anybody feel better about how the Coaching Staff and Front Office view team building?

We shall see. I hope they do make an offer.

Is Whaley on his way out? Sounds like a dumb move that obviously was Rex's decision.

Rex should shut stay away from anything on offense.

Re: Bills sign OT Wayne Hunter

any reports hunter has been applying himself or anything? like maybe spending months with some old ol guru coach or something. or maybe this is some kind of signal to players or something from rex, maybe to work harder or loyalty something like that. cuz yeah its mildly surprising hes the best they could do
