  1. Not sure why anyone is comparing him to Maybin, totally different positions. I thought he played well just needs to play fast and that will come in time. Big and strong, its what we need more of on the d-line.

    I think people are confusing carrington with Coleman. Coleman was the guy who made the ST tackles. Carrington looked pretty stout; very encouraged by his size and no noticeably bad plays.

  2. This is off the subject (sort of), but on Sunday, I was flipping through the Sunday Ticket games and caught Phil Dawson shank a FG for the Browns and then Nick Folk come up 3 yards short on a 53-yard FG for the Jets.

     

    Got me thinking how both of those guys kicked record-long FG's to beat the Bills on MNF very recently, and, of course, against other teams, appear to be pretty average kickers.

     

    If Lindell is cut, how much do you want to bet he's nailing improbably long FG's to beat the Bills in spectacular fashion (probably for the Pats)?

  3. I'm fine with either, to be honest. There's no doubt they each have great vision and quickness. If I had to choose one, I'd say McKelvin, just because I'd plan to have Spiller on the field more often. Too bad McGee is old and hurting, otherwise I'd take him above both.

     

    Ditto; I'd take McGee over anyone else in the league, frankly.

     

    McKelvin is the strangest looking returner (esp. the way he bounces off guys), but obviously very effective.

  4. you havent been seeing him becaus ehe is a raw 3rd round draft pick, who has been learning the defense and has just been entering the second half of his rookie season. Look around the league most draft picks taken in this area see mostly spot duty or special team action at the most. Our coaching staff must want him to show something on practice before they send him to the wolves.

     

    Honestly, I'm not buying that. He's a 3-4 end. His job is to just eat up blockers and play stout; I don't understand how there could possible be a learning curve for that.

     

    He looks talented, played well out there (from what I could tell), and probably should have been playing for the last 8 weeks.

     

    If I had to guess, it's just a numbers game. The Bills are only going to dress a certain number of d-linemen, and Carrington's been the odd guy out.

  5. I've been saying all along that the Chargers should go to L.A. The Chargers started in L.A. back when the AFL was formed! Charger fans can drive 90 minutes to go to games. Call them the SoCal Chargers. Make them a regional team ala New England. And if SD fans have their feelings get hurt, too frickin' bad. Go to the beach or where ever SD'ers go when the flaunt how great their city is. You can still follow your team if you are such great fans.

    Why can't people in LA drive down to San Diego?

     

    If someone actually asked the people of LA, they would probably tell you that they don't want a team.

  6. In reading a Detroit quote, it sounds like Detroit designed that play to do exactly what it did, isolate CJ on a LB. They were saying it was a mastermind type of play designed by their O-coordinator. So it sounds to me like the BIlls D was severely outcoached on that one play. Seems like the Bills should have recognized where CJ was on the field but its the NFL ....and sometimes their play is better than what the defense is calling.

     

    I love how the "mastermind type" play was simply putting CJ in the slot.

     

    It's mind boggling why they wouldn't have one guy (like McKelvin) following him on every play of the entire game.

  7. To be fair, that was a great offensive play design to get Calvin Johnson away from McKelvin and into a mismatch.

     

    This is more of an indictment of the offense (including during the last 4 coaching regimes), but isn't it funny how easy it is for other teams to get their #1 WR's in mismatches like that, and the Bills can never do that with Lee Evans?

  8. Duane Edwards has been very disappointing. Wasn't expecting a sack master, but some pressures and an occasional sack would have been nice. Stroud? Stick a fork in him, he's done. Just wasting snaps. It's well past time to get Carrington on the field, coach him up (no more standing straight up).

     

    Hell, the way Stroud has played, maybe even give McCargo a few snaps. Stroud gets no pressure on a QB and it boogles the mind that anyone reallt thought Stroud (washed up at Tackle) would be able to play DE successfully.

     

    These guys are 3-4 ends for the most part; they're not supposed to get sacks. I think Dwan Edwards has been a pleasant surprise; and Stroud has had his ups and downs at 3-4 end, but I commend him for his effort and great attitude in making the switch.

     

    The real problem is our OLB's; they're horrible and can't rush the passer. That's where we should be getting sacks.
