smuvtalker Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) I'd say that was pretty spot on, except I have a feeling Meredith might end up replacing Green at RT, especially if he keeps sh$tting the bed. I thought he looked pretty bad. And he almost got Trent killed on that one play against the Colts.. Edited August 25, 2010 by smuvtalker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did look slow - especially in pass protection... but I hope we run all over Miami week 1.

Beerball Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 QB: Edwards RB: Spiller, Bell, Simpson, Lynch (questionable), Jackson (out) TE: Stupar, Foschi FB: McIntyre WR: Evans (WR1), Johnson (WR2), Parrish (slot) LT: Bell LG: Levitre C: Hangman RG: Wood RT: Green NT: Williams DE: Stroud, Edwards MLB: Poz, Davis, Mitchell (passing downs) OLB: Kelsay, Ellis, Maybin (passing downs) CB: McGee, McKelvin, Florence (nickel) SS: Donte Whitner FS: George Wilson K: Lindell P: Moorman Morning boredom You've solved our offensive problems! 15 starters on offense will give us a fighting chance! (j/k) I think you've got the offense nailed with the possible exception of RB. We'll have to see how Lynch progresses. I hope Bell gets plenty of carries against opposing 1s in the next 2 games (really the next game since starters play little if at all the final preseason game) Defensively I don't thing McCorner has unseated Florence. I'd give Drayton the nod at CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metzelaars_lives Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Thank you! I hope to god Florence starts although I did list McKelvin there. Why? McKelvin was our first round pick just two years ago, showed unbelievable big play ability, led the NFL in kick returns and steadily improved his coverage skills as a rookie, played in just one game last before getting hurt, is fully healthy this year and looked AMAZING in his first preseason start. Yet you're hoping to the creator of the universe that a journeyman (albeit a solid journeyman) starts over him? Got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Florence earned himself the job in training camp and his play last year. I also believe Florence was rated a top corner last year. I'll try and find the link.

bills in va Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 What I'm saying is, don't you want our first round pick to WIN the job??? Yes in theory but the Bills are so bad with first round picks that you cannot go by that. The best player should play no matter his draft status.

vincec Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 That lineup doesn't exactly inspire confidence. It's probably not even as good as the one they started last year with (Johnson vs TO, Ellis vs Schobel). I would say that the only clear upgrade is Spiller. The key to the season will be Edwards. If Gailey can get him turned around then the Bills will be OK, otherwise they are sunk. Just as a random side not that probably doesn't belong in this thread: I watched the replay of the Cowboys - Chargers game on NFLN last night and was studying Philip Rivers. He is less mobile than Edwards and has an slower release as well, but he gets the ball out of there quickly, decisively and accurately. Dallas has a pretty tough pass rush and they were definitely getting through the SD OL, especially the OLBs, but not only didn't they get many sacks, San Diego completed most of their passes against them and moved the ball rather easily. I couldn't help but think that Edwards would get crushed in the same situation due to his indecisiveness (fear?). Gailey has a lot of work to do for him to be a championship caliber QB.

Bufcomments Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Wouldn't be shocked to see Chad Jackson run with the ones this week. I agree about Jackson, would like to see him with the ones this week. would like to see Brohm with the ones also but that is a coaches call.

If Lynch is ready he will start but Spiller will see plenty of action. Florence will start but same thing with McKelvin, he will see plenty of snaps in the nickle.

dollars 2 donuts Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I thought Florence earned himself the job in training camp and his play last year. I also believe Florence was rated a top corner last year. I'll try and find the link. I Agree. Metz, I would love McKelvin to start, as well, but Florence has just plain out played him. It doesn't mean McKelvin has problems, just that Florence has showed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of 3 QB's in todays league I'd take ahead of Rivers, none if I'd need to keep him for a while. He is very good. I am a bit surprised about the observation of a slow release. He always struck me as having a Marino like quick release... He is definitely a guy you'd like to see on the home town team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
