Levitre just isn't that good.
Wood is a stud and was a great pick. Levitre is not panning out quite as well.
That doesn't mean he's a total bust or anything, but so far he's just not working out as well as Wood has.

Why was my post deleted? WTF
The Patriots are successful because they have good management, good coaching, and good players.
Trying to discredit their success is just sour grapes.
Learn to take your ass whipping like a man, and don't make excuses or cry about it.

He's got the whitest name in the NFL.

as a defensive end hes solid but unspectacular. as a rushing linebacker hes solid but unspectacular. as a coverage linebacker hes horrible, so they never ask him to do that anymore. hes a model citizen, consummate professional, and great example for younger players. and at 3.75m total actual compensation hes reasonably priced
these are actual facts. but lots of fans are natural born haters who simply must have a target for their hate. if they have any trouble finding one they will create one out of their own perceptions by never acknowledging good plays, forever remembering every bad one, and projecting bad into whats actually a routine situation for any player in the league. if brian urlacher cant catch up to make a tackle its oh no big deal, but if kelsay cant catch up to make a tackle its the end of the world
haters gotta hate. and dumb haters hate dumbly. simple as that
good post

1 post trolls happen every season, too.
I don't think the Bills are a playoff team, but I was pleased to see the first team defense looking good out there last night.
-
I dont care about rotation. I dont want Kelsay getting ANY snaps. I dont want him on the field AT ALL. He is a liability every time he is in.
I dont want Kelsay cut so Carrington will play. I want him cut because he sucks and shouldnt be on the field. Regardless of who takes his place.
Maybe you should write a letter to Chan and Wannstedt - they could use this kind of information!
-
You guys do realize that Kelsay taking some snaps and Carrington taking some snaps are not mutually exclusive, right?
They have this thing called a "rotation" in the NFL. Believe it or not, they can actually both play IN THE SAME GAME.
Cutting Kelsay from the team entirely is not a requisite for Carrington to get his chance.
-
No it's not. Kelsay's first job is find the ball and if he reads that the play is going away from him, he "squeezes" the play inside and has cutback and backside pursuit. The "squeeze" comes from closing the gap in the cutback lanes.
Contain is when the play is coming at you and your job is to turn the play back up inside where you have help.
Kelsay read the play as if the play was going away and the reverse ran right past him.
This is something that Kelsay does quite often so I can see how you are confused.
How many yards did the reverse gain? If the play went completely away from help, why do you think it was unsuccessful?
You are trying to take one play that the defense stuffed, and use that as your argument to say that Kelsay played poorly in that game? Nice logic.
Is rather have Carrington in there, learning as he goes, than Kelsay on the downside of his career. Carrington is on his way up. Kelsay is on his way out. Make the move now, imo.

Kelsay struggled to adjust to the 3-4 last year, no doubt. He was awkward out in space. It was an experimental process.
Towards the end of the year he looked better. Last night he looked fine. He's not going to be some highlight reel guy, but he did a fine job out there. As someone else pointed out he spent his time with a hand in the dirt, so the coaches perhaps will utilize his strengths a bit more this year.
Everyone hopes Carrington is the future. But the reality is Kelsay is still holding him off for the job.
If you want him cut, you are honestly embarrassing yourself by saying so. It would be ideal if Carrington developed into a good player and Kelsay then became a solid reserve - but why cut him now? That makes absolutely no sense. He can help this season, perhaps a transition will be made to Carrington and perhaps it won't, and things can be reevaluated in the offseason.
-
I agree. Dareus and Merriman looked good out there.
I've always wanted Spiller moved to some sort of slot hybrid type guy - little screens and drags and quick slants and stuff like that is perfect for him.
-
ya, that reverse totally broke contain and went for huge yardage bro!
-
Merriman flushing Cutler into Dareus gave me a boner.
-
I love how they used Spiller. I've been saying to make him a slot receiver hybrid type from the beginning. Getting him out in space with some little screens or drags or quick slants looks good to me.
-
Bills starting defense gave me a boner.
-
I've said from the start they should try to use Spiller as a slot receiver hybrid type, like they did with Percy Harvin.
He still might not be a bust at running back, but he's the type that needs an o-line to create nice holes for him, and he has the shiftiness to elude that final level of defenders and then the speed to go. With mediocre or bad o-line play, he's just not the guy that's going to bust through arm tackles in the hole and grind out solid yardage.
Run some bubble screens for him. Motion out to the slot and run a drag route. That sort of thing.

Here are their 2nd rounders:
2000 - Travaris Tillman
2001 - Aaron Schobel
2002 - Josh Reed
2003 - Chris Kelsay
2005 - Roscoe Parrish
2007 - Paul Posluzny
2008 - James Hardy
2009 - Jairus Byrd
2009 - Andy Levitre
2010 - Torell Troup
2011 - Aaron Williams
If you take away the first round, the Bills aren't terrible drafters.
They just get so many good picks, because they are so bad year in and year out, and they manage to miss on them so often. It's a painful, painful cycle.
-
Evans trade is a joke. A fourth round pick? You might as well have just given him away for free.
Evans isn't all that he used to be, but he still had some gas left in the tank. I understand the Bills are not a playoff team this year, and building for the future is great, but you can't just give away all your good players for crappy draft picks.
-
I hope they get it done. Love me some Big Kyle.
I don't know if anyone heard it, but he gave a GREAT interview on Jim Rome a week ago or so.

5-6 wins with more contributions from some of the young guys is a successful season
-
The only hope of finding someone dumb enough to take him in a trade would be to change his position to WR and offer him to the Raiders.

Sunday Ticket doesn't help for home games that are blacked out if you live within the blackout radius, as a heads up.

It's mainly generational for SURE.
If you are old and were alive to see OJ play and such, you are gonna like the standing.
If you are in your 30s or so and grew up with the heyday of the early 90s Bills, you will always have a soft spot for that charging buffalo.
If you are your 20s or teens, the Bills were a pile of crap by the time you were old enough to really understand football, so you may associate the charging with losing, and anything "old school" automatically gets a couple bonus coolness points.

The Super Bowl props are almost always sucker bets. They are based on what people are willing to pay, not any sort of true odds of the event happening.
There are some decent lines in there, though. This seems to be the sweet spot:
Atlanta Falcons 14/1
Pittsburgh Steelers 14/1
Baltimore Ravens 16/1
Dallas Cowboys 16/1
New Orleans Saints 16/1
Indianapolis Colts 18/1
Jets offer Maybin one year deal.

This is no surprise.
Any time a high first round pick busts, there is always another team that will give him another shot. This happens all the time.
They very rarely do better with their second chance, but it's just part of the process. He's was going to get signed somewhere - I'm a bit surprised it was the Jets, but he was always going to get picked up by someone.
He will probably get 1 sack all year long, and it will be against the Bills, because those will be the only games he really gives max effort.
