Good Special Teamer Available

The Bills let go of John Wendling, a guy I was hoping the Panthers would draft the year he came into the league. He's a backup safety but is primarily known for his special teams skill. He'd essentially be an upgrade over Quinton Teal.

If we're going to improve the special teams, we need good ST players, not just a new coach.

I think Teal would be a bad loss. He filled in for Harrisburg very well last year.

I must have watch different games I thought our secondary was getting torched with Harris out (I remember seeing him miss quite a few tackles). As soon as Harris came back we started playing better. That could have been the addition of Thomas or just the D getting the scheme. I think at best Teal is a lousy S good Special Teamer.

I think the its a lil bit of both.The entire defense was lost at the time.Also I think when Harris was out we had Godfrey playing his spot.

Quinton teal definitely filled his spot. Godfrey started, but got injured himself. Then Sherrod Martin filled in for Godfrey until he was healthy again. The those 2 practically rotated the rest of the season.

Your thinking of Godfrey not Teal. Teal while not as a hard hitter as Harris played very well for a back up. He is no starter dont get me wrong but he spot filled well.

You know who else has proven to be a great Special Teamer? Tim Shaw.

Yep. My take is that he was let go due to a glut at that position, though I'd rather have kept him than Landon Johnson.

Teal and Wendling are both in the same category as far as safety play. That category being "if it comes down to their starting, we're screwed". As far as special teams value, Teal has some but I'd say Wendling has more.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By CanadianCat · Posted

      I mean I think its a bit disingenuous to call basically anyone here a casual fan. I don't think the casual fan creates a profile then logs into it, in the offseason, to comments on mundane offseason topics.. I dont think anyone on here would be considered a casual fan. That said, I get your point. My POV is from the player. They sign this contract, move their family because of these contracts. When Clowney came him, we basically had a coming home party for him.  So yeah, I get why we did it and I know that ultimately the owner doesnt 'save' money, but I can feel for the human side of the player, which is why I want them to get all they can while they can.

      My guess is the NBA will either send Flagg back “home” to the Northeast in Brooklyn or Washington, or San Antonio so that they can keep building around Wemby. If I was a betting man I would take the odds on the Spurs. This definitely feels like a #1 pick that they will rig.

      Some...concerning UNC / Belichick news

      In fairness, she is ensuring she is talked about.  People really aren’t going out there way to bring her up.  It’s some weird poo.  She would end up getting talked about given her actions if she was 40. Bill realizing some of these high end “companions” got a game of their own.  That’s what I don’t think Bill saw coming.
