Cornerback - Who stays and who goes?


Recommended Posts

McKelvin will be the primary kick returner next year and nickel/dime back which he actually played better at towards end of the year

 

Florence was the obvious choice especially with his salary

 

He isn't the last vet we will see get cut either: Kelsay, Edwards and Spencer Johnson could be cut as well

add Merriman to that list unless he returns to Lights-out form.

We like to think Buddy doesn't have an ego...but rest assured, he wants Merriman to succeed in the worst way. He won't be cut unless he is clearly unable to go.

If by lights out you mean stumbling around in the dark blindly searching for the football, then yes.

 

Yes!! Very true. I wonder if his vision has been totally tested because he seems to be the last to see it and the most likely to mistime his play. It's a crying shame to watch him be in tight coverage and still have no effect on the outcome of the play.

There are some here who are concerned about the sudden relative youth of the CB group.

 

I don't think that personally guarantees McGee a spot on the team.

 

Besides his age, he's coming back from a knee injury.

 

If the Bills youngsters at CB play well during preseason, McGee might not make it.

 

Remember that typically it's the safeties which make the coverage calls and the Bills have well seasoned players at safety.

 

As for those who are thinking that this means the Bills still view themselves as rebuilding (because of the youth movement at CB) I disagree.

 

The 1981 San Francisco 49ers won the Super Bowl with 3 rookies and a 2nd year player in their defensive backfield.

 

Teams can win with talented youngsters at CB… particularly if they have veterans at safety.
