boyst Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Easley is the 6th WR on this team. I still think he could be someone who contributes. He reminds me of Justin Armour. I am thinking in a year or so he will bring something to the table. Something is missing right now, I have to imagine, and I am trusting the coaching staff on this.

NewEra Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Yes, if we install the 6th wide receiver that should solve the tackling problem on defense No, but it could solve the problems regarding converting 3rd downs. Hogan can't gain any separation from one of the leagues slowest Lbs in Rey Maualuga....that's how slow hogan is.....and his hands aren't good in games as they are in practice. Hogan sucks. Just because he isn't the biggest problem on this team doesn't mean he isn't a problem on this teams. Cut this bum. He's just that, a bum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homey D. Clown Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I am a staunch advocate for seeing Marcus Easley play more for this team, I'm not sure why he doesn't get more playing time either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie Johnson being healthy solves the problem of converting third downs. Hogan is on the team to be a special teamer. I don't know why people expect more from him.

White Linen Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 With due respect to Easley's stalwart special teams play, he must not be beating these guys out in practice. As others have said this coaching staff is clearly willing to give chances. We have to assume they aren't holding him back, he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have said this coaching staff is clearly willing to give chances. We have to assume they aren't holding him back, he is. Thank you. The most reasonable answer as to why Easley is not seeing the field as a WR is that he is not doing better than the other guys in practice.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Thank you. The most reasonable answer as to why Easley is not seeing the field as a WR is that he is not doing better than the other guys in practice. This is one possibility. The other possibility is we as fans know how good of a WR Easley is based on our observation of his special teams play on 5-10 plays a week, where he runs down the field, takes a great angle and tackles the ball carrier. And the coaches seemingly blind to this obvious reality are relying instead on some other inferrior information like comparative performance analysis of him as a WR over mini camp, training camp, preseason, and 2 months of daily practices. Yes... Silly coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 The coaching staff seems willing to make changes in season to any under performers, i.e. Legursky or Moorman as an example, so I'm hopeful they give Easley his shot after seeing Hogan on film. Not sure switching #5 and #6 receivers will make too much of a difference with Stevie and Goodwin coming back, but it'd be nice to see what he can do when the situation calls for it. the first part makes me believe there is likely something we as fans dont know - that hes making poor reads in practice or the film room or something. like you said, if a change is needed, theyve been making them.

NoSaint Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Novel idea might be for the local press to actually ask the coach a direct question about it. im guessing the questions about starting qb, byrd, gilmore, stevie, etc... all get MANY more clicks than "why havent you swapped your 5th and 6th wrs on the depth chart?" just the reality of it. eventually, someone may, but its not high on the list of questions they are trying to squeeze in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubes Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 It's pretty amazing how good he has been on kickoff return coverage. As for WR, it may just be the coaches giving Hogan the first shot before giving way to Easley. Who knows. Sure would be an interesting question for the reporters to ask.

Fans aren't saying that Easley should be given a chance because of his special teams play, they are saying to give him a chance because they think the other guys suck and he can't be all that bad, he looked good when they saw him at times in Training Camp or Pre-Season, plus he stuck for so long on this team while he couldn't see the field due to injuries so there must be something special........

chris heff Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 The Easley thing kind of reminds me of Stevie being lost on the depth chart for his first few years.

Gerry Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Totally agree-I have been asking this question for weeks. Guy had a great camp, is a stud on special teams, and has the size to be the big, physical receiver that the Bills need. One of the News writers speculated that the coaching staff may be concerned about hurting Graham's feelings if Easley starts playing. Although this seems ridiculous to me, the only other reason that I can think of is that either Marrone or Hackett or both doubt his ability. Years ago the Bills had a receiver with similar size who was a stud on special teams his first year-Eric Moulds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, theres several WRs on this squad that have already demonstrated that they cannot catch the ball or make plays.
