Maybin from straight on at MLB? He would get totally stonewalled. The guy was flattened trying to run around OT's when playing DE last year. Now you propose he rush up the middle of the O-line??? Lord have mercy.
I don't get why people whine about what others posts. It's a free country where people have opinions whether right or wrong. If you don't like what you're reading then stop reading it. Spare me the sympathy of being offended or having your feelings hurt and not returning. I too don't like some of the tasteless comments here but when I encounter them I move to another discussion. I don't quit the board.
Ryan- loud mouthed and obnoxious. Perfect coach for Jet fans, especially those living here in So. Florida.
Dungy- classy, reserved, faithful, and respected as person. Proved nice guys don't always finish last.
The left tackle was in place but was traded to Philly. Clearly, Maybin will never be the DE that was envisioned. And the Qb, that will come in the 2011 draft where the Bills are positioning themselves nicely for the #1 pick.
The Bills had no pass rush when Schoebel went down with his Lis franc foot injury and had no guarantee he would ever play again. DE was a major need as was the O-line. The Bills drafted Wood also in the 1st round and traded up in the 2nd to draft Levitre to shore up the O-line. As fate would have it Schoebel did come back and played well. And Maybin sucked.
Trent's a bright, likeable guy. But in the 2nd quarter I saw a player with a look of hopleless and and quit in his eyes as if to say what the hell am I doing here. Further evidence he's not a viable long term solution to the bills qb woes. I think he's better than any of the Qb's curently on the Bills roster. I would not trade him however as that would make a bad season really embarassing.
My new concern is the D-line. Where is the pressure going to come from? They were flat awful. Our pass rushing LB Maybin got tossed around like a rag doll. Maybe Buddy can convince Schoebel to come back. Seriously.
Imagine the uproar if Jauron was still the coach and that timeout had been called. It's only preason but this looks like it may be a 2-3 win season folks.
