Beerball Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 Since I just got flagged for trying to access a gambling site at work, can you give us a hint at what's contained within? Â He has struggled establishing an outside pass rush, having difficulty getting around reserve right tackle Jonathan Scott. Maybin also was thrown to the ground on Wednesday by reserve tight end Jonathan Stupar, who then caught a pass after getting open. Â But Maybin showed good speed in dropping back in coverage to defend tight end Shawn Nelson. And he showed promise when rushing from a linebacker position, using the extra steps to gain momentum and burst through the line. Â Aaron Maybin wiped his brow and dismissed a question about how far behind he might be.``I knew how much time I missed when I got here,'' said Maybin, the first-round pick who missed the first month of training camp before signing his contract last week. ``But I feel good.'' Â I'll see if I can find a different source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I really hope fans don't expect too much from him in the first few games. It would be a blessing if he gets any real pressure on the QB on any semblance of a consistent basis before mid season. What we can hope for is signs of his speed and athleticism on random plays that make him something of a factor on that particular play. He's just not going to be used to the intensity, agility, strength, or tricks of the players he is up against in a regular season game for quite some time. He's very young, he's very inexperienced, he's quite small and he missed most of camp. If he has a single sack early in the season it should be a bonus.

Lori Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 True, KtFaBD. But after the holdout, you know it won't happen that way. If he does start slow, people will be all over him for missing camp -- and I can't say they'd be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and I both know there will be a plethora of posts by the end of the 1st quarter tomorrow claiming he's slow/undersized/lost and we should have drafted Orapko. I'm certain any pleas for rational thought will fall on deaf ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDD Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 More or less the same unimpressive stuff I read about Maybin during the OTA's. I'm sensing B-U-S-T and the end of the Jauron/Modrak era's in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Which is more concerning?: Â Stupar threw him to the ground and then caught the pass. Â His "killer" first step has been downgraded to "quick". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we can't have Cornelius Bennett expectations- Holdout until traded from the Colts on Halloween; only to destroy Elway in his first game. My how I long for the day when we had the balls to make deals and draft stars.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOBILLS78 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Anybody who watched the Rose Bowl knew Maybin would have a tough adjustment to the pro game. Let's give it time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lets_go_bills Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I expect to see some flashes of potential this year but realistically, I don't expect to see much out of him until next year. And next year I'll expect 10+ sacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
