Langston is huge, played for the Raiders before the Bills. He's no better than what we currently have.

Yeah I drafted him in another league too. But he isn't in my big money league, so I am good.

When was the last time anyone of note considered Mike Williams a "powerful run blocker"? College, maybe? And how much upside can an out of shape, 29 year old offensive tackle that was released while he was in his prime possible have?

Mike Williams is useless right now, when they are very much in need of depth on the offensive line. I still can't figure out the logic, if any, that was used in making the decision to keep him. I don't see how it could hurt to take a look at a guy that actually played in the league, last season.

Seriously, the only time he ever had upside, he was coming out of Texas. He never lived up to his potential. Everyone wants to be enamored by the fact that he was a first round pick 7 years ago. It's no accident that he was out of the league for 2 years, he's not a very good football player. He did nothing to disprove that in the final preseason game.

I can't, for the life of me, understand why he stayed over Bridges. I like him and admire his work ethic, but the fact remains that I can't think of one DE who can't beat him off the ball.

the Bills have the worst Oline in football and they cut him. He must suck.

And they traded Jason Peters because of how invaluable he was? Please.

I'm not saying Langston Walker is a savior, but he's certainly better than Mike Williams. As a matter of fact, it hasn't been that long since they cut Mike Williams...hmmmm

Still bitter over the Brohm backlash?

Bills cut their starting LT too? WTF is going on in Buffalo? I don't know much about him, not as if we have the room to sign him anyhow, but he was their starting LT -- he must be somewhat desirable.

Maybe the ability to make roster moves is in Owens' contract.

Let's ask a few questions, is Walker going to be interested in a backup job? Also, is he interested in taking a cheap contract, because our cap room is pretty slim. For those reasons I think we're stuck with Williams for better or worse.

-Many people never thought he'd make it down to the weight he did.
-The biggest adjustment to the NFL from college is speed and depth of talent, it's going to take a few weeks of reps as the scout team against our 1st D to get MW back up to "speed".
- MW & Dock are buddies since college. We bring in MW, he works his ass off and does everything asked of him, and then we cut him without him getting a shot to get completely back in game shape? I'd say that would affect Dock's mind-set.
- Buges isn't an idiot.
- What if, just what if, he returns to close to the player he was at TX. We'll have gotten one of the major steals of the off-season, possibly any off-season. If he doesn't make it back, what have we lost....nothing. Bridges isn't a significant upgrade anyway, if he was he'd still be here.
