Jauronimo Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 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........ This fan has and is saying just that. Dude is making plays in his limited role and playing balls out. Make a lot of plays in a small role and then its time to consider expanding his role.

BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 some guy are game day guys, some are practice players. hogan does not appear to be a game day guy.....give easley a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. I would however miss Hogan, because when ever he does anything good or bad I give it my best Colonel Klink, HOOOGAN, Makes my wife laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill 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. . . . and while your at it, ask about the four plays, especially the last, at the goal line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 some guy are game day guys, some are practice players. hogan does not appear to be a game day guy.....give easley a chance let it be. Easley deserves playing time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufcomments Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 some guy are game day guys, some are practice players. hogan does not appear to be a game day guy.....give easley a chance on the flip side some guys are gamers, suck in practice. Thinking Easley might be a gamer, he shows up big on SP, let him get a chance at WR, just sayin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOKBILLS Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I just have a gut feeling that given the opportunity, especially over Hogan, Easley is going to come up big... But my gut has been wrong before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l< j Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 What would you do if he dropped a well-thrown ball? Would you stand up and walk out on him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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...

If we give Easley snaps at WR he is more likely to get hurt, and then who's gonna be the gunner in punt coverage, Hogan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 is give Easely a chance. You should know the melody. I thought I would throw some "Instant Karma" at this. You do know that the guy who came up with "Give Peace A Chance" was shot and killed, right? I hope you have better luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make a lot of plays in a small role and then its time to consider expanding his role. So because he has been excelling at running down the field and tackling the guy catching a punt, he should be given a chance to go out and play WR??I'm glad you don't have a hand in deciding who gets playing time on the field. no one is saying he should be limited or taken out of his special teams role where he has been great, but that doesn't mean he deserves to play WR, unless he starts showing he can catch the ball and make plays as a WR. The 2 jobs have nothing to do with each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covac23 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 He's a valuable asset on Special Teams and good depth at WR if we ever need him. I hope he stays a Bill for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Pete Prisco's Midseason All-Pro team: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/writer/pete-prisco/24156832/pete-priscos-midseason-all-pro-team Just one Bill makes his list: Special Teams Player -- Marcus Easley, Bills -- He has made 12 tackles so far and seems to show up in coverage a lot.

Meanwhile, theres several WRs on this squad that have already demonstrated that they cannot catch the ball or make plays. Call me crazy, but I'd like to see Marcus get a shot rather than watch Hogan continue to suck. You make it sound as if I said Moats should get time at WR because of his standout special teams play.

When you start the season at number 6, it's hard to get the kind of reps that catch the coach's eye. I for one would like to see him get some playing time opps.

maddenboy Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) Tasker was fast? I may be forgetting I just don't remember him as fast. Easley has very good speed prolly 3rd fastest after Goodwin and close to graham... Easley 4.46 at the combine. http://www.nfl.com/c...asley?id=497286 Goodwin 4.27. http://www.nfl.com/c...dwin?id=2539964 Graham 4.41. http://www.nfl.com/c...aham?id=2532850 Tasker ?? I could only find his wikipedia which lists "fast" as one of his attributes. http://en.wikipedia....ki/Steve_Tasker Stevie Johnson 4.59. http://en.wikipedia....football) (the stats say "all measurables from NFL Combine) Robert Woods 4.51. http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/robert-woods?id=2540169 Edited October 30, 2013 by maddenboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
