Buffaloed in Pa Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Preston Brown looked bad to me. Slipping,falling,out of position. Welcome back Nigel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Lightning Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Kid's a rook covering Maetellus Bennett. He did ok. His natural position seems to be MLB anyway. That said, I do welcome Nigel back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

destro32 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 If Rivers is out Preston will be in there again .... It was his first game - relax we won Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3putt Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Thought he played fairly well for a rookie. He has a weird body type, almost looks like a fullback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turftoe Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 When I watch Bradham he always seems to show up near the action at the end of the play but never seems to be the guy actually making the play. The first guy to give a high five. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Looks like Gay sticks, Smith cut. Good decision, if yesterday is an indication Gay can help the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Who replaced Rivers? Ty Powell? Yes. Ty Powell went in and held his own up, which was pleasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first guy to give a high five. If you should still have any preseason footage on DVR, I encourage you to review the first quarter of it. Bradham was borderline dominant this preseason, and was in on many more plays than I had ever seen from him in years past. I think the bell has finally gone off for him at this level, and I predict he will be the guy who leads us in tackles most games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Good decision, if yesterday is an indication Gay can help the team. Gay Schmidt was terrific yesterday. I couldn't believe they kept Moorman for so long but ultimately they signed Schmidt before the season started, he played in the first game, and was a real factor. Gay, too. He got great height on his kickoffs that went deep, which is tough to do both. Good job, Mr. Whaley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I watch Bradham he always seems to show up near the action at the end of the play but never seems to be the guy actually making the play. The first guy to give a high five. See above. I wasn't going to comment on because I thought 2013 was going to be his season. He really showed some signs of brilliance in 2013 preseason. Than got 1 snap in the opener. He didn't really pull it all together and I can't really say why which is the reason I have been mum on saying much about him. He fit the role of SLB better than I thought. He seemed more of a Jack coming out of college and I was worried he didn't have strong play to fill any specific role good enough. I had believed he would end up being a ST type of player but he just wasn't that fast. He is fast but he is not FAST. He does not get to where he needs to be and it is not strictly because of recognition - I do not know what it was. I am happy he is on the team and excited for what he will do, though.

When the Bills drafted Bradham, I knew he'd be a stud, but that it would take at least a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marrone sort of indicated he has been playing at a completely different level this season as compared to in the past one and before. Let's hope he's as good as he looked like he would be coming out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalScotts Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I'd cut Brown some slack, classic over pursue- probably too geeked up. Did Lawson play ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) I'd cut Brown some slack, classic over pursue- probably too geeked up. Did Lawson play ? Lawson did play, and I agree on cutting Brown some slack after one NFL game. Geez! Yes, he made some mistakes. He also got all over that fumble and moved it up field. It's debatable as to whether that's even his natural position. I'm glad Nigel is back, and not just because I don't know of any other Nigel's playing football of the American variety. I saw him a lot at FSU and really enjoyed it. EDIT: The first time I typed this I left out the words "some slack". That would change things completely! Oops.

swnybillsfan Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 i am looking forward to having bradham back in the line up. i think he will help this defense. i wasn't keeping a real close eye on preston brown, but it seems like he did ok. room to grow for sure, but i don't think the plan was to throw him directly into the fire.
