Sound_n_Fury Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 There have been a lot of inexcusable things about this season, but NC's effort over the last few weeks may be maybe the most galling. He's going through the motions out there and his effort on the Johnson TD was pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And some team will still probably offer him goofy money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark VI Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Nate lost a boatload of $$ lately. He was pathetic today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I dont see the big deal. It's Chad Johnson not choped Liver. Johnsons only gonna lead the afc in receiving yards for the 3rd straight year. You wanna call out nate on bad play fine, but using the best receiver in the afc as a means to do so isn't being level headed. TJH lit up mcgee as well. Of course that's null and void due to an int, but For the most part the entire secondary played well enough to win the game and thats what matters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then include the fact that he's been eaten alive by the likes of Rod Smith, Keenan McCardell, and David Givens in recent weeks and the real picture starts to appear.

Simon Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Nate lost a boatload of $$ lately. He was pathetic today. 541895[/snapback] He wasn't all-world, but he certainly wasn't pathetic. The Bengals took advantage of Grey's refusal to let his corners play football and ran ChadJ on a ton of the kind of routes that are impossible to cover when you're lined up 8-10 yrds off the LOS.

34-78-83 Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Nate had what they call "trail technique" in a mostly cover 2 scheme today. He got caught up a step slow at times today even so. I've certainly seen worse games but still wasn't overly thrilled with his play. He did make some nice tackles today both in run support and on some flat passes.

tbonehawaii Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Yep. Bills management is crazy if they pay anything close to top ten dollars for jorneyman *at best play) I'd much rather we let him go and devote the dollars to other needs (like both lines). This si a contract year and he sucks.. Imagine how he will play once he's fat and happy with a new contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobillsinytown Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I looked at the game stats and Clements led the team in tackles. I'm not saying this makes him great corner, but based on the stats it looks like he may have been more involved in run support today. I don't think he's an elite corner and he definitely needs to keep his mouth shut, but it's hard to tell from an individual game how good a player is.

He seems to be so much worse in coverage this season, yet he's still putting in a great effort in run support and tackling in general (for the most part). I can't explain it.

Rico Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I still want Nate back... if his market value in a contract year goes down, all the better for next year's Bills, save a little $$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't explain it. 542003[/snapback] It's called a porous defensive line that generally never gets pressure. Also when you have a poor run defense like we do this season. It puts teams in shorter down and distance making it easier for offenses to pass, and generally make good corners look bad. Clements hasn't been good this year I'll agree with that. I just don't think he's been as bad as people have said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly did Johnson do that Chambers and the rest of the WRs that were NC's responsibility the last few weeks do? Johnson certainly didn't look all world today and still got 117 yards. At this point McGee is much better in coverage than NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
