could be a good idea,but if his hammy is bad, it won't help us out much.

His hammy is fine. The bills made an idiotic move.

TRUE, I AM A SCHIZOPHRENIC BASTARD....with the caps lock on...i think my "hating" was a cause of aggravation from losing to an 0-5 team and went from dislike to not giving a fuck...whatever these FAT paid coaches think will help, should at least be a decent idea, right? thats all im saying. im no fan of vincent's but...i agree that we need help..........

He said his hammy is fully healed, I'm not against this move, with him back there replacing Archuleta in passing situations, and having Springs back could really shore up our secondary. I'd give him a one year deal.

I say he would replace Archuletta period. Archuletta could play in nickel and Dime.

JGisLordOfTheRings · 10-15-2006, 01:56 AM

maybe a one year deal...if he can produce adn not be injury ridden like everyone else we picked up in the offseason....

jdlea · 10-15-2006, 01:57 AM

Troy Vincent won't command much money. You don't get signed for much more than the veteran minimum after you've been released in the middle of the year. Did he ever play for Williams? I think he went there after Gregg had already left.

JGisLordOfTheRings · 10-15-2006, 02:02 AM

If his hamstring is cool then like i said, it could be worth a cheap, one year deal to see if he melds with the defense and it all works like it should....

twinskinsfan · 10-15-2006, 02:08 AM

I think the way the season has gone, I would be willing to take a chance and put Archuletta in running situations. Saying that, a move like this might be a turning point that we need to take the next step forward and stay there.

JGisLordOfTheRings · 10-15-2006, 02:10 AM

Good point!

AA seems to be better in run coverage. I really hate saying that cuz all his stops on runs were after gains of 6+ yards....

Again, with the way the seasons going, ANYTHING is truly worth a shot....

Troy Vincent is a potential Godsend in my view - he worked with GW for a season apparently and knows the defense and he's a former Pro Bowl player who is healthy and ready to play. We need experienced, talented players who know the system in our secondary, at least as backups.
