Fewell733 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Not surprising at all. This is nothing against the guy they took, but the Bills just don't give a about the TE position. Then, they'll wonder why their passing game sucks again this year. Hello, Bills, its because you can't threaten the middle half of the field! and nothing threatens the middle of the field like a 4th round TE that can't block Teyo was a 2nd rounder - then wasted away in Oakland Courtney Anderson - also a former receiver - productive before wasting away in Oakland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Welcome to Jauronimo World! We don't play offense. We play not to lose. And with Randy and Wes ripping our defense apart at will, we need a defensive secondary rotation to slow them down a little... Well, we've dropped the Pats from scoring 50 ppg against us to about 35. Meanwhile, we've upgraded our offense from 15 ppg to about 20. We're gettin' there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 The guy has talent to be a first round pick, he is as talented as any first rounder, and still hasn't been picked... you tell me what the issue is.

And there are plenty of teams in the league that know how valuable a receiving TE can be. He doesn't have to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huuuge Bills Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Duke Preston, Jason Whittle, Kirk Chambers... We can only hope Sullivan continues to drop. BTW, I think Whittle is a pretty good backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndirish1978 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 On NFLN they mentioned how most teams only suit up 7-8 OLmen per game, We suit up Peters, Dockery, Fowler, Butler, Walker, Preston, Whittle, Chambers, there you go. We need another 2 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ans4e64 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Do you even know who any of the backups on this team are? Will you read the thread and stop embarrassing yourself, please? He said he wanted us to draft Kellen Davis, I said Davis doesn't deserve to wear a jersey in this league, then he asked why, to which I said he has all the talent in the world and hasn't been picked yet what do you think the issue is. Get a clue before you come after me, jackass. Read the thread and stop making yourself look foolish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndirish1978 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Report on Corner: Corner has been a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks since moving into the starting lineup as a red-shirt freshman. Certainly not the biggest defensive back you will find, he compensates for a lack of height and bulk with outstanding leaping ability, great timing and natural hands to get to more than a fair share of balls in flight. He is the only player to lead outright or share the team lead for interception in each of the four seasons he suited up for the Zips. His 15 interceptions tied for second on the school career record list. He joined All-American Dwight Smith (261 yards, 1997-2000) and Shawn Vincent (265 yards, 1988-90) as the only players in Akron annals to return interceptions for 225 or more yards in a career. He had at least one interception or pass deflection in 28 of the 48 games he played in for Akron. Corner started 46 of 48 games at Akron. He recorded 197 tackles (140 solos) with eight stops for losses of 24 yards and a fumble recovery. He deflected 35 passes and ranks tied for second in school history with 15 interceptions, ranking third all-time with 225 yards in returns (15.0 avg), including one touchdown. Analysis Positives: Compactly built athlete with good, lean muscle definition...Stays tight with receivers on deep routes and has good play development recognition skills...Has a good feel for the ball, maintaining eye contact on the receiver while tracking the ball in flight...Keeps a tight relationship with the receiver in the open and can cover ground with his closing burst...Shows good knee bend and a smooth, easy turning motion coming out of his backpedal...Takes good angles towards the ball and makes proper body adjustments turning and flexing for the pass, demonstrating natural hands and above average timing to high point the ball...Shows fluid hip turn and quick feet coming out of his backpedal... Makes proper zone adjustments and anticipates the quarterback's moves well, as he can handle the switch-off effortlessly...Has the hip snap and body control to position himself before delivering the hit...Has the burst to recover on deep routes...Gets a sharp break on the ball and is flexible in his hip turn and compensates for a lack of ideal height with good quickness and ball anticipation skills...Stays low in his pads and extends his arms to wrap and secure as a tackle (lacks strength behind his hits, though)...Shows natural hands, extending and plucking the ball away from the body's framework...Has the field vision to keep track of the ball in flight. Negatives: Size is a big drawback, but he compensates with good aggression and the timing to go up and snatch the ball out of the receiver's hands...Lacks ideal power for run support, but even though he is willing to face up, he does not have the strong anchor to prevent ballcarriers from running through his arm tackles...Sometimes gets a little too aggressive, causing him to over-pursue, but shows the recovery quickness needed to get back into the play...Gets so pass theft conscious that he will play the ball a little too much, tending to lose sight of the receiver at times...Reaches back on his heels sometimes when turning in his backpedal...Has to show better shadow ability when handling the receiver, but flashes quickness to recover...Needs to become more physical with the receivers in press coverage. Compares To: TIM JENNINGS-Indianapolis...Corner won't ever be confused for a Charles Woodson when it comes to taking on running backs, but he does provide great value in a sub package because of his natural hands and ability to get to the ball in flight. His best asset is his ball skills, as he times his leaps well to ride up on a receiver to deflect or pick the ball off. His size is a big drawback and will probably keep him out of the starting lineup, but few cornerbacks have the ability to reach and pluck the ball like he does.

MartyBall4Buffalo Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Not a clue wtf reggie corner is, but we did have really sh------- depth in the secondary, if he can help improve that, so a team like ne doesn't whip us like dogs next year, and in the future. I'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FightClub Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Anyone have scouting report on Corner? Reggie Corner - NFLDraft Countdown Strengths: A ballhawk in the secondary...Great instincts and awareness...Nice hands and ball skills...More quick than fast but he has a burst to close....Very smooth and flips his hips well...Displays good footwork...Competitive...Confident...Excellent production. Weaknesses: Doesn't have the ideal size that you look for...Timed speed is merely average....Is not real strong or physical...Struggles to match up with big wideouts...Intelligence has been questioned....Level of competition is a concern...Upside might be limited. Notes: Was a four-year starter for the Zips....Earned first team All-MAC honors....Doesn't have everything that you look for from a size / speed perspective but manages to get the job done and is just a good football player..Probably won't profile as much more than a nickel type at the next level....Could be a poor-man's Nathan Vasher.
