Thoner7 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Ill admit Maybin is athletic, but he does not play physical enough. Here is a short clip that Maybin needs to see of just a simple bull rush with force. It takes athletic ability and power to be successful. I know its an Orakpo vid but I dont want this to come off like a "we should have taken Orakpo" thread. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AglSpWWkGbE...feature=related I wonder if the Bills coaches are addressing this obvious weakness in Maybins game. My guess is no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is no. I thought your video was going to show Orakpo making a play.. Maybin desperately needs to get stronger this offseason and add more "natural" strength - not packing on 30 pounds of muscle just to look good at an NFL combine. The reason why Schobel can play at 243 pounds and make a decent amount of plays, is that he is "country" strong, natural strength. Maybin looks as though he plays with no power...

My guess is no. Orakpo is a physical freak of nature. He benches around 550lb and squats 400lb+. That explains his ability to bullrush. Maybin surely doesn't have strength like that.

ACor58 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I know that I am just a fan and all but even I knew not to draft Maybin. The guy was a backup LAST YEAR and then falls into the starter roll after Maurice Evans gets suspended. Of his 12 sacks, 5 came from games against Coastal Carolina, Syracuse, and Temple. Not a whole lot of NFL level talen there. Come to think of it, you can probably say the same about his Big 10 schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geggytah Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Uhhhhh he didn't even make a play on that highlight. I'd rather see a bull rush (or any type of move) leading to a sack, strip, blown up running play, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoner7 Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Well it turned into an Orakpo>>>Maybin thread, I knew it would happen. Just let the record state I wanted Orakpo and knew the Maybin was going to be/is a 100% bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is no. You do understand that MAYBIN isnt consider the Traditonal First Round Pick for a DE he is a Project First Round pick that needs a Min 1 year to possibly two years of grooming. IF ( And i mean big if with this coaching staff) hes groomed properly hes is projected to be a future probowler year in and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was shocked when the Bills did not pick Orakpo back in April. But then, what else do you expect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufcomments Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Orakpo is a physical freak of nature. He benches around 550lb and squats 400lb+. That explains his ability to bullrush. Maybin surely doesn't have strength like that. This is just another failure of the Bills scouting dept. We like small, quick guys instead of strong bigger players The Rack would have helped us this season, Maybin just sits the sidelines , Guy and Modrak missed the boat....AGAIN.

John from Riverside Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Once again I say.....too early to tell...... .....playing at different positions .....one of them is on the field at all times .....one of them is a underclassman ....one of them is undersized for his position at present Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
34-78-83 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Soooo many idiots. Maybin is a project pick that has limited playing experience and came out of School early to boot. Please do not expect miracles in year one or compare him to more traditional draft picks. After year 3 we should be able to make an accurate judgement on him. If you want to criticize something, make it the front office for selecting him instead of a more serious need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to criticize something, make it the front office for selecting him instead of a more serious need. Exactly, he spent only one year as a starter at Penn State and hasn't played that much this year. So the guy is very raw and we will need a few years to evaluate. Personally I would have liked Orakpo or trade down for Oher. If Russ would have known there would be a movie involved, Mister Marketing would have been all over Oher...

kota Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Blame the front office and coaching staff for drafting a guy that barely makes the field. Orakpo is listed as the starting Strong Side Linebacker. Maybin is the 4th DE right now. It's pretty dumb comparing stats where the number of snaps each player gets is very lopsided.
