keepthefaith Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Guys, McGee is gone. The writing's on the wall. He's getting too old to return kicks, and we brought in fourteen CB's to compete for his job. Enjoy your last season in Buffalo, Terrance. Thanks for stopping by. Wait a few days until they sign some undrafted guys. It might be more than 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papazoid Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 i agree with Leonidas.....i think this is McGee's last year......unless he gives a hometown discount on his next deal, which i doubt. All these DB's we picked up will be auditioning to replace him, but i don't think any of them have the speed that is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreFL_Bills_Fan Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Here's why the glut of DBs DOESN't make sense: 1. They will not help protect our QB...as we are retooling 60% of our oline. 2. They will not help the piss poor pass rush...Maybin will only do so much 3. We passed on some pretty talented rushers and tackles with both our 2nd round picks.

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 But it's not accurate. If we did not draft McKelvin, we would have drafted a different player in the first-round and kept Greer. So, the trade should actually be Greer + a first rounder for McKelvin. Look back, dude...thats exactly what you're saying is inaccurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 A different player, but it would have still been a corner. OK.....maybe a safety. Bill, I gotta call BS. These final two guys are special teams players. The Bills play good ST, and I'll defer to them on that. Nelson is gonna play LB, and my hope is that he plays it better than Ellison. We shall see.

Terrence Pennington. Just a few names to think about. None could play special teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimp on da' net Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Harris wasn't meant to push any of the CB's on our roster. He's an experimental move, just as Byrd was. They are in win now mode, so the first five picks were meant to help this year. Peters had to go. I like that they got rid of him, after hearing him talk about how he justified not playing 100% some of the time, and after he screwed his teammates. I like that we are putting together a really good O-line. Let's hope they continue to build both lines. That where it starts. I think we'll like our Defense this year. It's gonna be fast, and we're gonna have a bunch of turnovers, IMO. We've got ball-hawks in McGee, McKelvin, and hopefully Byrd as safety. Add to that a healthy Schoebel, and Maybin, and Stroud, and Mitchell...as pressure...I think we've improved our D a lot, and we were 14 place last year. I'm looking to see us at top 5 this year. When did he say that? He only responded to the (and probably the millionth time asked about the contract hold out) question asked, was the contract extension an issue after the holdout....and his reply was early in the season but not an issue after that. Now be reasonable ( i know far fetched) after a long drag out fight with the FO and you lose. Wouldn't you question your status with the organization after not getting your worth in the market? These guys have a short shelf life, NFL contracts are not guaranteed. Lets not hold them to a standard, not one of us wouldnt allow if we had the option.

BrooklynBills Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 1. After Micheal Oher, the tackles in this draft were garbage. 2. McKelvin is a future top CB in this league, maybe even this year. Greer is not the answer for anyone as a starting CB. He just isn't that good. 3. Hopefully, drafting some of these DBs the last two years is a kick in the ass to McGee because his play has slipped since Jauron's first season here.

Orton's Arm Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 Have you been drinking? You know better than this. Next year we will draft a corner or safety in the first round. MAYBE a small receiver and the db get pushed back into the early 2nd. You're probably right about the 2010 draft, unfortunately. On the other hand, Brandon did a much better job with his first draft than I was expecting. There has to be at least a chance of re-signing McGee, in which case I don't see us spending yet more high picks on DBs in next year's draft.
