ACor58 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 1.) If Kelsay injury is serious do you bring Copeland Bryan back? 2.) Do you move Nic Harris to start for Ellison? 3.) Do you bring Derrick Brooks in for a look? 4.) Do you look for any FA middle LBs out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rich Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 1.) If Kelsay injury is serious do you bring Copeland Bryan back? He's in Detroit. I'd start Aaron Maybin and let the kid get better w/ reps. 2.) Do you move Nic Harris to start for Ellison? Maybe. Moving Kawika Mitchell inside isn't the answer in this scheme. I know I wouldn't be comfortable w/ him as a middle 'backer in a cover 2. 3.) Do you bring Derrick Brooks in for a look? No. 4.) Do you look for any FA middle LBs out there? For depth purposes maybe. That's 'bout it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan714 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Brooks, yes. I think this guy has some experience in the Tampa 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Overheard in the 2009 NFL draft Bills 'war room': Who cares about depth?! Draft more DBs!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACor58 Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 He's in Detroit. I'd start Aaron Maybin and let the kid get better w/ reps. I agree on starting Maybin but we still need depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wing Man Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Harris, anybody, pull a guy out of the stands for Ellison on obvious passing downs. Ellison has proven himself to be a stout run tackler, but sucks at pass coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincec Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 1.) If Kelsay injury is serious do you bring Copeland Bryan back? I guess not. Ellis was ahead of Bryan anyway didn't even play against NE so for now we stand pat. I'd keep my eye out for opportunities, however. 2.) Do you move Nic Harris to start for Ellison? Why, Ellison isn't hurt... and he played pretty darn well except on that TD pass to Watson. I think it's Buggs for now in the run set. 3.) Do you bring Derrick Brooks in for a look? Nah. Let's give the young guys the experience. Brooks isn't what he used to be. 4.) Do you look for any FA middle LBs out there? Depends on who it is, but anybody good is likely playing for someone...

Dan Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Maybe. Moving Kawika Mitchell inside isn't the answer in this scheme. I know I wouldn't be comfortable w/ him as a middle 'backer in a cover 2. Well there ya have it... we have to scrap this cover 2 crap. Sucks, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

DaBills51 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I agree on starting Maybin but we still need depth. Were pretty solid at DE with Ellis and Denney as the backups; however, the linebackers are a different story. Athletically, all of them can play...but this group has no experience and will make their fair share of mental mistakes. However, I really don't see the point in bringing in someone like D. Brooks because all it's going to do is take away from their development. The Bills could be a fringe team this year...but looking to the future, this team could make a deep playoff run. We could definitely use a playmaker at OLB, but it's something that should be addressed in the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
