  1. I am really not lobbying for Cameron, just noting that there could be a connection. As for personnel decisions, I'm pretty sure it was GM Rany Mueller and not Cam Cameron who chose Ginn over Brady.
  2. Nix is close friends with former Chargers head coach Marty Schottenheimer, although Marty insists that he isn't coming out of retirement. One connection to both Nix & Schottenheimer is Cam Cameron. Currently the offensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens, Cameron joined Baltimore after spending the 2007 season as the Dolphin's head coach. Prior to gaining the Miami job, Cameron was the offensive coordinator for the Cahrgers for five seasons. The head coach was Schottenheimer and Buddy Nix was the Assistant General Manager and Director of Player Personnel. Cameron enjoyed a lot of success as the Chargers offensive coordinator. To be fair, his lone year in Miami was not his fault. The Dolphins had just lost head coach Nick Saban to the university of Alabama. Cameron began the season with Trent Green as his starting quarterback but after four games, Green was put on the injured reserve. For the rest of the way, the Dolphins went with Cleo Lemon and rookie John Beck as their quarterbacks. The Dolphins also suffered another setback with then NFL leading rusher Ronnie Brown went down for the season with a knee injury. After the 1-15 season, Cameon was fired as Bill Parcells joined Miami and brought in his own staff. _________________
  3. The Colts have 2nd year RB Michael Hart (Michigan) who they are really high on.
  4. So why would I not want the Bills to select him with the #11 pick? Maybin is very young and needs a lot of work. Aside from just one season of experience as a starter, he is just three years removed from high school. He has a lean frame and must put on weight to reach his potential. His impact as a rookie may be limited to pass rushing situations, because he lacks the strength and power to hold up at the point of attack against the run. He could have used another year in college, if only to gain more weight at a natural pace. His lean frame could limit him as a rookie and his team may need to have some patience for him to develop into an all around player. His athleticism and pass rush ability should translate early, but he will be a situational player. Maybin does not have the ability to be a run stopping OLB and would struggle dropping into pass coverage. Thus, he is a one dimensional player. Rush the passer or watch from the sidelines. Aaron Maybin is 20 years old and has just 11 college starts on his resume. He could wind up being a Pro Bowl player, say in 2012 as he has so much untapped potential. I just don't feel that the Buffalo Bills are in a position to select a player based primarily on "potential". The Bills can't afford to use high draft choices on projects. When you are a perennial playoff team, like the Steelers, Patriots or Colts, you can select a player like Aaron Maybin and be patient. The Buffalo Bills are not in that position. They need an every down player at SLB, a starting TE as well as depth on both lines and at SS. Buffalo has selected underage players in the past and the results have not been stellar. Marshawn Lynch, Ko Simpson, James Hardy, John McCargo and Donte Whitner. All but McCargo have had run ins with the law, something that could be attributed to maturity. That isn't to say that Maybin would fall into that category, but maybe the Bills will think twice before handing out a ton of cash to a player who left college early.
