I don't get the star linebacker part. Kiko was showing signs that he could become a great backer but other than a handful of games kiko was average. Yes he made a lot of tackles but that's not a good way to decide greatness. Pettine didn't really use him many different ways. Almost every play was fake a blitz and drop into coverage in the flat. Once teams figured this out he wasn't really heard from anymore. I would say he is a good linebacker that has good coverage skills but not a star. I think woods has a bigger impact on games than kiko did. Kiko had the best defensive line in the league in front of him. Woods has QBs that are described as "meh" and produces.
that one fumble is burned into my memory. I love Bryce's skill set and hope he has a long productive career here but sitting in the end zone watching the pure joy on Bryce's face turn to horror as the ball was coming out will forever haunt me.
incognito is better at RG as is urbik. They will fight it out for that spot. Williams, Richardson and possibly kujo will fight it out for the LG. But I will say that lineup is better than last year
I agree. He is one of the better corners at staying with his man stride for stride. His ball awareness is getting better but has a decent way to go. If he could get that down he would be one of the best corners in the league. In a Rex Ryan defense I think McKelvin is the perfect corner as long as he doesn't lose his speed.
Also the fumbles have nothing to do with him playing corner. It's as a return man (which he is/was one of the best) don't hold it against him as a corner.
Also is this a depth chart or just a roster projection?
Bills and rams are 1a/b
dolphins and Texans are a toss up. Watt is better than anyone on the other 3 teams. Wilfork is old but still solid. Idk who their other DE is(im pretty sure clowney is a LB. But Hughes could be an old too)
Dolphins with wake, suh, Vernon is pretty good.
I would list them
1. Bills
2. Rams
3. Texans
4. Fish
I would guess IF Crabtree came our WRs would be in no particular order Sammy , Robert, Percy, krabapple, Easley and possibly hogan if we kept 6. But I would prefer Goodwin over hogan just on athleticism alone.
Wynn took a few days. Taylor as well. Harvin... exactly my point. Clay took a week even though numbers were reported a couple days ago. Felton as well. I love how everyone nit picks and twists things around. If you can't see it idk what to tell you. It's not that serious so idk why I'm even responding it's not like Whaley and overdorf have to stop everything they're doing to type out an announcement. They have employees that handle the press releases. Again not that serious. It was just an observation. Lol
I don't understand this offseason. The bills seem to be dragging their feet on everything. The Wynn signing was announced a while after it was reported. Clay and Harvin. What is going on
Concussions are no joke. I respect Chris' decision. It's a tough but smart decision. A lot of players are going to take this route. I spoke with Chris Nowinski of the sports legacy Institute after a distant relative took his life due to complications with CTE. It is a serious problem that most football players will end up with.
After speaking with Mr. Nowinski I wouldn't let my kids play football unless something changes in head safety. From how I feel everyday and understanding how a lot of NFL and former college players feel everyday it's scary and I do not blame them for retiring early. (But I do feel they are compensated well for these reasons and it is a risk that they sign up for)
