JauronGone Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I know its a little early to make a call on Maybin at this point, but im just thinking... The Bills targted Maybin before they even drafted him as a project that would need time to develop into his body.. and rougly put 20 pounds of muscle on... however that really hasnt transpired yet, and the result is he hardly plays at all, despite the fact that when he's in the game - he really demonstrates the speed we keep hearing about I think Maybins body is fine the way it is.. hes got a prototypical linebacker body, The bills should maybe think of dropping him back to a OLB - and looking into the future could use him in a 3-4 and he could be comparable to Demarcus Ware and how Dallas runs their defense.,. big strong OLB who can get pressure on the QB just a thought - becasue whats happening now isnt working for a 1st round pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrudginglyPessimistic Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I wonder why no one has thought of that yet? If only they had given him an LBs # instead of a DEs #. Perhaps WGR can cover an argument about how much Maybin should pay (or be paid to switch it does not matter for GR purposes as long as there is an argument to cover).

I bet this generates a lot of comments from the board. This will be something people are going to want to talk about. Maybin to OLB. I like it. Can't believe nobody has brought this up.

Perhaps WGR can cover an argument about how much Maybin should pay (or be paid to switch it does not matter for GR purposes as long as there is an argument to cover). They paid him based on his draft #. His rookie contract has nothing to do with position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyDingo Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it: Aaron Maybin = Erik Flowers Erik Flowers was selected in the first round of the 2000 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills. After an unimpressive rookie season, he earned the starting job in 2001, but was benched after 5 games, and was released during training camp the next year... on September 3, 2003, Flowers joined the St. Louis Rams three months later and played linebacker with them for the next two seasons.

Jerry Jabber Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Denver converted DE Elvis Dumervil into a LB and Dumervil has 12 sacks so far. Maybe the next coach will do something different with Maybin next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 270 pound LB huh? Bet that worked out well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billieve420 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Denver converted DE Elvis Dumervil into a LB and Dumervil has 12 sacks so far. Maybe the next coach will do something different with Maybin next year? I was going to point out the same thing and Dumervil is only 5'11 248 lbs. He was sure looking like a bust before Denver switched over to a 3-4 and now is having a career year. Hopefully we make the switch next year which will allow us to better compete with the teams in our division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
