ElMarko Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 If you have Adelphia On-Demand service, the NFL On-Demand channel now has 15 minute replay recaps for just about everygame last year. Sat and watched them all last night - in these days of so little happening with our team. Three GLARING things that stand out from watching a 2004 season recap: 1. McGee got burned quite a bit last year, with Clements being on the other side, he was picked on by both experienced and yound QB's - if you remember, he must have fell down 4 or 5 times when making a cut in coverage; 2. The defense got considerably better when Milloy came back from his injury; 3. And obviously, our Special teams just about won us 3 games singlehandedly. On-Demand is excellent stuff. Fast-forward, rewind, pause... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was special teams phenom, and was a good extra DB, but as a starter, he is pretty average. Hopefully, having a healthy Vincent and Milloy in the middle will help some...

ElMarko Posted June 15, 2005 Author Share Posted June 15, 2005 Although he did get better as he gained some experience, I see him as the weakest spot on our defense. Especially with all the good receivers that will be thrown at him this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I am not as worried about it because Vincent is back and will give safety help to that side...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Fallback could always be move Vincent back to corner and put Baker in at FS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 McGee looked like a terrific athlete who tried to compensate for his lack of experience against big time competition by using his athleticism and being aggressive. I think he's going to be just fine and will be even better when it's not Ike Friggin' Reese playing over the top of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 The thing that makes me feel confident in McGee is that he has consistently shown progress. The kid is learning how to play the position in the NFL (lets remember that he didnt even come from a IA college) and I'm impressed with how fast he's gotten the hang of it. He did get burned a lot last year, but he also held his ground and made some nice plays. I think a lot of other NFL teams would be very happy with him as a #2 CB.

The kid seems have a knack for being around the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I agree. The kid seems have a knack for being around the ball. 359823[/snapback] McGee made a lot of plays on the ball in the endzone. He had two pics in the endzone called back on penalties, another one overturned because the ball touched the ground and another because he was ruled out of bounds. Kid has great ball skills. He got better in coverage as the season went on, but he will inevitably lose some jump balls to the taller receivers. He's a great #2 to Clements because he will create turnovers if teams try to keep it away from Clements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
