thebug Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Let's see what he can (or can't) do... Go Bills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 i HOPE he does indeed become a starter. that makes last year's draft look even MORE impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Chief Navy Pride Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I for one would like to see what he can do... He was a top 5 CB in last years draft so we all know he has talent. I think the best thing happened when he wasn't thrown right into the fire and was allowed a year to play a few downs and learn HOW to play and do things at the NFL level. I think he will be better than we all think because of this and we will have a slight drop off from the play there last year. My 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I'd have no problems with it and I believe the Bills should trust their scouting staff. He was drafted in the 3rd round for a reason and now its time for him to prove it on the field. They need to add a little competition in the middle rounds of this draft, but I see no need to push the panic button and draft a CB higher than we really need to.

Yasin's BILLS Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 No, I think respectivley Terrence McGee should be the #1 guy, Youboty is going to have to prove him self in Training Camp to be the guy at corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I'd love to see him go to the Pro Bowl!...however DJ on Sirius two weeks ago made a point of saying he had confidence Jabari Greer would be at corner. DJ's seen a lot more of both candidates than we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 I say this.... If Yobuty ends up being a reliable starter last years draft will go down in history as one of the BEST ever We may not have gotten a Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, or Andre Reed out of it.....be got reliable young starters at a LOT of positions..... and could you imagine if Pennington ends up becoming a very good player? I am already starting to get excited about the season...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnTheRocks Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 if he can play....why wouldn't we want him to start? i personally don't think he will start from game 1, but i wouldn't be suprised to see him starting by mid-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realist Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 If he wins out the competition in training camp, why not. We drafted him for a reason, get him out there if he's good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fewell733 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 if he is the starter, I will have assumed that he won the job fair and square. I will think - good for him, he can play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1billsfan Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Were we prepared for Whitner to replace Milloy? Yes. Were we prepared for Simpson to replace Vincent? Yes. Are we prepared for Youboty to replace Clements? We should be. No doubt Youboty will have to earn the starting spot in training camp, but I certainly feel prepared if he ends up being Clements replacement. I still feel that the Bills will take a CB either in the second of third round for depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max997 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I dont think its as big a deal of some people think, you dont need a shutdown corner in the cover 2, on most plays the Corners just need to keep the play in front of them and come up and make the tackle so as long as he is a good tackler ( and most CBs from Ohio St are ) I think he'll do fine.

ROCCEO Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 If we dont draft a corner and Youboty starts and ends up working out, Marv will look like a genius. Youboty moving into a starting role only would mean that we have one less hole to fill. I doubt he starts on opening day as they will probobly have KT start until Ashton proves hes ready. Hopefully we can survive a couple games like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am already starting to get excited about the season...... I don't see it as the best ever. Our defense will never be any good if we can't stop the run. We made a huge mistake by passing on Ngata-he will be a perennial pro bowler and we still are unable to stop the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
