Happy Days Lois & Clark Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Tom Donahe spoke very highly of Jabari Greer at the press conferance and also mentioned that Greer may be the fastest Bill. He seemed to play very well last season as an undrafted rookie. He may have even played more thanb Kevin Thomas as a nickel corner Do you think he could eventuallly become a quality starting CB for the Bills or is he destined to remain a nickel guy?

TigerJ Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 He might be a little thin/frail to be an every down player if he's still at his reported rookie weight (169 lbs.) If f he can pack on 10-15 lbs. of muscle and keep his speed and quickness, I think he could possibly start someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fake-Fat Sunny Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 The Bills had the opportnity to not offer Thomas a tender that kept him a Bill and did so unlike other players they had no plans for (ex. Pucillo) and other players they eventually resigned after exposing the player to the market (ex. Burns). Clearly Thomas is part of the Bills plans and Greer will certainly compete for the nickel slot with him. but has a couple of layers to step up before he is even in the running for a starting slot.

Dawgg Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 No way. He's just not good enough. A 3rd cornerback is about as far as he can go. He's got solid cover skills and is athletic but is not as physical as most starting NFL corners. Not to mention I can't imagine him offering much in the way of run support.

And he can always add weight, and since he's fast, not lose enough to be a detriment. With some good coaching, he could be a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiew Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I've been talking about Jabari on this board since last training camp. This kid WILL emerge as a starter. He's eager, works hard and has a great attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I saw last year...Greer...is a little green...but will learn to use his athletic ability to make up for his lack of strength...and be be a solid starter at CB.

jarthur31 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 We're going to need him now to play alot more. If he can't make it at corner, then we could use his speed at free safety. Troy is'nt getting any younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadBuffaloDisease Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 read my post, don't repost the same thing You said "if he can overcome size and weight." That means he is short and light. He's not, he's tall (5'11") and light. If you didn't mean that he was short, you were being redundant. Hope that helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
