Ramius Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Schobel and Kelsey are most overpaid DE's the NFL. They are not starting DE's. When will everyone including the Bill's realize this. I can name 31 other teams that would gladly take the starting services of one Aaron Schobel. But you're right. a 10 sack per year DE doesnt deserve to start.

BEAST MODE BABY! Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Not saying we're DOOMED, but the play in the middle of the line looked conspicuously like last year's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddy Freddy Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Haven't you heard that you're not allowed to make any judgements on this team after 1 preseason game. I think it's State Law. Any problems that are perceived will magically disappear on opening day. There is absolutely no correlation between a team's preseason performance and its regular season performance. Anyone who thinks otherwise is misinformed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 There is absolutely no correlation between a team's preseason performance and its regular season performance. Anyone who thinks otherwise is misinformed. I used to insist that as well, until last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricojes Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I used to insist that as well, until last season. Same here. I can discard pre-season game one, but definitely need to see improvement in games 2 and 3 to feel better about this team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 There is absolutely no correlation between a team's preseason performance and its regular season performance. Anyone who thinks otherwise is misinformed. There have been teams that win none, yet have a successful regular season. As well as the opposite. Clubs have been known to make an effort to win PS games to influence the regular season gate. And there are many clubs that over the 4 games display this or that flaw in strategy - however watered down, or player's performance which spills over into the regular season. Don't dismiss pre-season results out of hand. WAS's 16-play drive at the end of Saturday's game - scrub vs. scrub - was educational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyBall4Buffalo Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 In probably less than a quarter of play, Kelsay would have had a sack but was blatantly held as he went past his man, and they called it, moving it back ten yards. Plus he had a tipped ball at the LOS which resulted in an incompletion. He wasn't horrible at all. I've been anti-kelsay since we drafted the guy. He makes plays few and far between, and hasn't really shown an ability as an edge rusher. I still think he would be best served in a reserve de role. However going strictly by 1 preseason game. I had heard how horrible he was, and he was anything but. He seemed to consistently apply pressure, and manage to be around the football. Hopefully he keeps that up. I'd still like to see Chris Ellis be that edge rusher we sorely lack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
