I mean we have Old Man River Bellamy. Troy Vincent at 50% of his prime is better than Craft IMO. Read the link, he has been teaching the young Bills DBs about reading film. Sounds like a good influence besides on the field play.

Yea or Nay?

Wait, how does his age bother anyone and Bellamy or Beerman's doesn't? Whoa. Vincent was a better player than either in his prime. I woulda brought him in at safety like ghandi mentioned in the Bellamy thread.

RE: Troy Vincent Available

Tyler Everett Grade: 3.11
Position: S
Class: Sr
School: Ohio State
Conference: Big Ten
Ht., Wt.: 5-11, 202
40 Time: 4.65
Grading System


BIO: Moved into the starting lineup midway through his junior campaign and posted career bests of 39/1/6. Senior totals included 33 tackles.

POSITIVES: Hard-working defensive back with special teams ability. Fast in all directions and effective facing the quarterback in zone coverage. Quick closing to the play and will mix it up.

NEGATIVES: Lacks top cover skills, trails receivers in man-to-man situations and slow locating the ball.

ANALYSIS: Possessing adequate size/speed numbers, Everett could make a roster as a ninth defensive back.

PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent

Practice squad. cut by the bears. youth baby.

Vincent's age cant be a factor. Its not as if we are targeting him in the offseason to patch a glaring hole on our team. Its midseason and we may be looking for some depth and possibly some veteran leadership on an otherwise very young team. His age is not a factor. He is not being looked at as a long term solution...just about 10 games.

The dude may have lost a step from his All-Pro days as a CB, but I'm pretty sure he can still play safety. Look at the other guys in that mold that made the transition well into their careers & played well......Rod Woodson, Aeneas Williams, etc...... I think he would be a solid edition, if not for his veteran knowledge alone.
