Fan in Chicago Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 http://buffalobills.com/news/news.jsp?news_id=6505 Nice going Kyle, especially being a 5th rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 As has been said time and time again, being the starter won't mean much more playing time than the others, as the D works the rotation quite a bit. But it does say a lot about what the Bills think or Kyle. This is more of a ego booster or reward than anything else. I am surprised a bit that it wasn't Spencer.

This can't be a big surprise with Peters stilll holding out at tackle. Even so, good going Kyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 IMO, Williams really stepped up last year and has taken it a notch further in preseason. Agreed, there will be constant shuffling but this is a tribute to his determination. His experience playing both DT positions likely bodes well in this new wrinkle of switching them up on the OL, keeping them off balance and creating mismatches. The key though, is Stroud!

GripnRip Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 This can't be a big surprise with Peters stilll holding out at tackle. Even so, good going Kyle. Kyle Williams plays defense. Jason Peters plays offense. Those yellow things are goal posts. A touchdown is worth 6 points. etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsD#1in2008 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I really liked Kyle coming out of the draft and was glad that we got him in the 5th can you say a fews later he is a steal? Anyways i always liked Kyle better then lazy McCargo but i think everyone on the dline rotation is good and contributes something so GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO KYLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DDD Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 And let me guess Marshawn Lynch is the starter at RB. Thank you Chris Brown for reporting what we already knew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San-O Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 http://buffalobills.com/news/news.jsp?news_id=6505 Nice going Kyle, especially being a 5th rounder. Ditto. Does this mean McCan'tgo is officially a bust? Before the FLAMING starts, Marv traded UP to get him in the 1st round. FWIW: This is why I generally hate trading up, unless you're a perennial playoff team, which the Bills are not. Flame away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Ditto. Does this mean McCan'tgo is officially a bust? Before the FLAMING starts, Marv traded UP to get him in the 1st round. FWIW: This is why I generally hate trading up, unless you're a perennial playoff team, which the Bills are not. Flame away. Seeing Williams named the starter at the 3 Tech RDT does beg the question about McCargo. It also makes me wonder why the Bills signed Spencer Johnson. Don't get me wrong, I like what he brings to the team. I just don't see him getting major minutes at DE where Denney and Ellis will be the principal backups to Kelsay and Schobel. He'll no doubt be part of the DT rotation, and certainly in on passing downs, but at 17.5M it's a steep price to pay for a situational pass rushing DT.

FWIW: This is why I generally hate trading up, unless you're a perennial playoff team, which the Bills are not. Flame away. Also don't forget that Marv wanted to draft Kyle in the 4th round but the rest of the draft room outvoted him to pick up Ko Simpson. Everyone became happy when Kyle was still around in the 5th. McCargo a bust? Maybe. That's still yet to be determined. He's still an important cog in our DLine. As for trading up when we drafted him, we were a bit over a barrell since we had no dt worth a hoot left on our roster, so that doesn't mean much to me. If he washes out of the league this/next year he's a bust. If all he becomes is an important role-player he'll only be a disappointment, not a bust. Now Mike Williams, THAT's a bust.

eball Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 This is McCargo's third year, right? First year was cut short by injury, so this is in effect his second year of playing in this defense. I've read some of the posts questioning his desire/technique, etc., and can't intelligently comment. I do believe it's too early to label him a "bust" however. McCargo did suffer the misfortune of joining the Bills at the same time as an unquestioned gym rat and workaholic (and National Champion) at the same position. Timing means a lot. Hopefully the kid is growing up and will be a significant contributor this season; he's certainly on the "watch list" right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 McCargo was a force in a lot of games last year, getting into the backfield repeatedly... not sure how someone who does this can be a bust... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StupidNation Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I'm not happy about this. It actually makes the statement that the more talented, but lazy, McCargo is going the wrong way after some great plays last year. I don't consider Williams talented enough to be a difference maker on an NFL team. I like the fact he is consistent, but I wish he was more than that, actually was a difference maker occasionally and did more to help stop the run.

HardyBoy Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Some players are better coming in off the bench even if they play the same number of minutes as the starter (Manu for example). Maybe this is the thinking, especially since a high energy, high effort guy may wear out the defense early, and allow the rest of the rotation to be more effective late.
