speaking of safeties...did anyone notice that cnnsi listed Springs as a safety, I thought that was sad

mooby · 09-17-2006, 02:21 PM

I'd take him over Doughty in a second, from what i saw of Doughty in preseason he looked like toast out there. But if Vincent got injured again, i'd cut him.

htownskinfan · 09-17-2006, 03:29 PM

doesnt sound like he's lost anything

Vincent, 35, was in his third season with the Bills. He had a career-high 102 tackles and four interceptions in 2005 - his 14th NFL season.

i think he's def worth a look when he gets healthy

with our secondary health issues he is definitly worth a look

I think last weeks game showed us without a doubt that we have no depth at CB. Even if we do not look at Vincent, we need to look somewhere.
If Buffalo has to pay Vincent's salary, we might be able to get him very cheap for 1 year.

charlielyons · 09-17-2006, 05:47 PM

i say go after him we have nothing to lose just for rest of the year

12thMan · 09-17-2006, 06:51 PM

I just can't see us signing Vincent....no way, no how.

charlielyons · 09-17-2006, 07:22 PM

i can, 1st we have snyder as a owner and we need a quick fix, he could really help

Pocket$ $traight · 10-12-2006, 10:02 PM

Vincent was released today. Can we talk about a guy who might actually help us instead of Lionel Friggin' Dalton or some jackass CB that no one has heard of?

I still say he ends up with Mean Green.

Almost as bad as when the O'Reilly factor listed Mark Foley as a Democrat. haha.

I think it is an awesome idea and that is coming from someone who hates our penchant for big name, aged vet signings. He is smart enough to learn the D and still has some gas in the tank (judgeing from last years stats) and we did lose a safety for the year.

If we can get him without overpaying we should bring him in and give him a few weeks to learn the playbook which will allow us to get a look at Doughty and to see if the secondary improves with the return of Springs. If it does, at the worst we end up with a seasoned backup. Ask yourself what happens if we have an injury to another safety?

Getting back Shawn Springs is going to help the secondary. Signing Troy Vincent would be a big improvement also. As long as it doesn't put the Skins in salaray cap hell.

uh oh, not the salary cap hell thing again.

I am usually one who wants to stay away from these players released by other teams. But, with the uncertainty of springs, the way Arch struggles and Reed still learing, I'd say Vincent is definatly worth the little bit of cash we would have to give up for 10 games. He is due the money from the bills, not who signs him. we owe him what ever prorated portion of OUR offer. He could be a quality pick up, being from buffalo and could step in with our D since he played with Gray last year.

GO GET HIM DANNY!!
