Jobu Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Mckelvin at safety with Duke never to be seen again please. Anything is better than Duke "Can't catch Herpes in a whorehouse" Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Lmao I am intrigued with McLovin at Safety next to Graham. The less of Duke and Rambo the better. Mckelvin tacking RBs is not going to go very well. Although vs the pats it would be good to have Gilmore, Mack, Darby and graham all on the field.

26CornerBlitz Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 McKelvin to be added to 53-man roster; could fill different role Bills head coach Rex Ryan confirmed that Leodis McKelvin will be moved off the Reserve/Non-Football Injury and added to the active roster. Where he lines up if he plays Sunday is another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 @ChrisTrapasso: Many vet CBs have made successful transitions to S. McKelvin very athletic. Should be easier to track the ball w/ everything in front of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) McKelvins not the smartest guy in the world. Will be interesting to see how he picks up Rex's system if they do put him at safety.I think it's smarts and instincts moreso than athleticism that have allowed Graham and AW to seemingly always be in the right place in this D, and to shine. I'm whole heartedly for the move though. I could see McKelvin as a safety being not quite as good as our two starters but still a significant upgrade over the likes of Rambo/Duke. His athleticism will help him try to recover from any growing pain errors that may come early on. Edited November 3, 2015 by Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I think McK would be a better extra CB when facing multiple WR sets than as a safety. Maybe return to returning kicks since he would on field as CB less often. Yes some would say it is not best use of money to have him as third or fouth CB but they hit jackpot with a CB drafted.

Mckelvin blasts guys when he has a good angle I think McK would be a better extra CB when facing multiple WR sets than as a safety. Maybe return to returning kicks since he would on field as CB less often. Yes some would say it is not best use of money to have him as third or fouth CB but they hit jackpot with a CB drafted. 4th CB ? Rather get one of the bum safeties off the field.

Beerball Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 McKelvins not the smartest guy in the world. Because his speech isn't up to snuff in your opinion? There's no evidence that I'm aware of that would allow me to make such a statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Because his speech isn't up to snuff in your opinion? There's no evidence that I'm aware of that would allow me to make such a statement.Could be his inability to not understand instructions of when to go down on kick and punt returns.

BADOLBILZ Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Because his speech isn't up to snuff in your opinion? There's no evidence that I'm aware of that would allow me to make such a statement. He got a 13 on the wonderlic. And he answered 34 questions so that takes some doing to only get 13 correct. Lead his class in wrong answers though so perhaps he deserves extra points for leadership? Took the guy 6 years to learn how to translate top 10 physical talent into competent CB play. Opens mouth and inserts foot a lot. I root for the guy and glad they've stuck with him but he's purdy dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His speech is not good and people put too much into that & they have from day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His speech is not good and people put too much into that & they have from day 1. First of all, it's an intelligence exam. Be all or not when you are one of the very worst in your class it generally means what it says it means. I don't care about his speech. I don't watch interviews so really couldn't even tell you what he sounds like. His propensity for bonehead plays on the field has spoken volumes for years. And no, he has not "steadily" improved. He was pretty much intermittently bad/terrible/bad for the all but the last half season of his rookie contract and then he found a coach who could get thru to him and turned from a liability in nickel coverage to a good boundary corner almost overnight. He has all-pro physical traits......so good wasn't really his ceiling.....but I think it's more than fair to wonder if he is sharp enough to play the mentally demanding safety position in RR's D.
