Not really. If you notice, the players on the bad list are top corners, and they players on the good list aren't. Why? Because the better corners face the top receivers in the game. The other corners are facing average guys. This makes McGee's presence on the good list even more impressive, because he's facing top guys unlike the others around him there.
HUH? Three of those corners are amongst the best in the NFL...

Funny thing is the in my first game of Madden 2010, Edwards was hurt twice and out of the game...looks like they got him exactly right...lmao...and its probably why DJ only played him a series...
-
This probably makes a lot of sense, because...
Because if a defensive lineman farted or belched within 3 yards of Trent he would have been hurt and missed 2 weeks...

My pre-draft posts clearly show my man love for Orakpo (Im a big time 'Horns fan), and with nothing to read on Maybin, I came across this article.
http://www.homermcfanboy.com/2009/08/03/sa...ness-in-orakpo/
He seems to getting reps at both LB and DE. Has been getting great reviews from teammates, even comparisons to D.Ware and L.Little.
“You know, I’ll tell you, this young kid is going to be awesome at this level,” said offensive tackle Chris Samuels. “I’m working against him and he beat me a few times out there. I’m just trying to get back into the groove of things and he’s coming out fired up as a young pup. He’s going to be awesome, and I tell you what – I’m definitely glad to be working against him. He’s definitely going to help me get better.”
Wait a minute. We’re talking about Chris Samuels, a six-time Pro Bowler. And here he is, telling us that some rookie who just signed his first NFL contract less than a week ago is already so good that he’s making Samuels step up his game
Hey London [Fletcher], Chris Samuels is already comparing Orakpo to a young DeMarcus Ware. What say you?
“Well, Chris’ assessment fits pretty well,” he said. “Obviously he’s faced DeMarcus many times.
“Personally he reminds me of Leonard Little, my teammate back in St. Louis,” Fletcher said. “They both have the same body types. They’re both about 6-3, around 250 lbs. and could rush the passer like crazy. He definitely reminds me of Leonard, and that’s a guy who has had a great career.”
I have no grudge against Orakpo and hope he does well. I just hope for my sanity as a fan that Maybin does better. If Orakpo is Ware, Maybin can be Merriman.
Funny how people hang on to things...the draft was forever ago and people are still posting articles about players we didnt draft as if we made a mistake when our guy hasnt even gotten a chance to show what he can do yet...lmao
Let it go, hes not a Bill so who really cares what his teammates say...why dont you post updates of the 6 or 7 players we drafted ahead of the Pats drafting Tom Brady while you are at it then follow it up with a story of how good Brady looks in camp...

Exactly my thoughts in watching that play. I know that it's a lot easier to relax and make good decisions when you're not worried about the pass rush, but realistically that's not going to be the case this year. If Edwards is going to have a good year he's going to have to make good, quick decisions in the face of some pressure. It wouldn't hurt if he developed a little more mobility inside the pocket either.
Yup...If we are going to go anywhere this year, Trent is going to be able to not only work on his pocket mobility and feel, but also his reads. Last year he didnt see many open WR's all the time just to check down when his hot read wasnt there. A lot of that can be attributed to being a young QB, but he needs to step that up this year until the line can gel. I do feel our Line will be an upgrade over last year eventually this season, but it may take til mid season for them to get there. Until then, Trent needs to make up for the inconsistency with quick reads and smart throws.
My concern again is his ego. Last year he had no pressure on him to start the season and played his best then (even though it was still average most of the time). Once we all of a sudden were 6-2 and front runners for our division with Brady out, the pressure got high...coincidentally Trent began playing the worst he has ever played for most of the rest of the season. Once he struggled he really struggled.
Now this year, there is a LOT of expectations on this team to be better than last year and make the playoffs. The offense expecially is loaded and everyone knows its on Trent to put it together. So, if he starts struggling again, will his ego be intact and will he be able to play through it? That is the million dollar question...

Ok, for my detailed summary
Wood good
T.O good
Nic Harris good
Omon good
Posluzny good
Corner good
And Trent? I will help ya Magox...
Trent Good (in short wide open throws)
Trent Bad throwing down field - He makes another bad decision throwing down field. The OL allowing pressure up the middle is irrelevant on the play, it was a very bad decision as he threw into triple coverage...the ball should never had been thrown there on that play regardless of the protection.
Its only the first preseason game, and prior to that play Trent looked good and confident...however, how many terrible decisions like this can his ego take is my question. Can he play through it? Last year once his struggles got worse he clearly lost some swagger and confidence. There is plenty of time to get it together, but once again I wonder if he is capable of reading the D fast enough and effectively as he really struggled with that all season last year...

ummm look at his stats
the jags game and chargers games were great performances. the reason we won was because of trent
duh
First off, you said SIX great games, not TWO...guess math is too complicated for you, but lets look at his stats as you suggested in these two games...
JAX - 239 yards passing, 1 TD, 1 turnover...and he got the TD at the end of the game...not exactly a dominant performance...good comeback at the end, but wasnt doing anything impressive the rest of the game. High completion percentage though which is good, and why this is the game I said was above average even though it was against one of the worst teams in football last year.
SD - 261 yards passing, 1 TD, 0 turnovers...this is the game I said he played good and was on of his best games of the season...again though, not exactly dominant against the one of the WORST pass defending teams in the leage, but still a good outing where he looked good.
What about the other 4 games of your 6 game stretch of claiming he played great where he had just 3 TD's and 5 turnovers?
I just love how people see our 6-2 start and think he just played great...he was average at best in most games and a couple of solid games, and thats it...in our 6-2 start he had a total of 5 TD's and 6 turnovers, never passed for 300 yards, and never had a game where he threw for more than 1 TD...and in 3 of those games he had a passer rating under 82, including one under 70...
Not to mention it was all against the worst teams and Defenses in the league last year...and as the competition got stronger he got even worse as the season went on...
-
Fav: Brady and Warner
Least Fav: Farve and anyone who QB's the Raiders
-
except that brady broke out in a statistical sense during his 3rd year when he threw for 4000 yds. the pats defense won that first sb, not brady. ummmm do u remember the first 6 games, edwards was playing better than any qb.... then he pounded the chiefs... bottom line edwards actually has a legitimate #1 reciever so we will see what happens...
owens is up there with moss
evans is waaayyyy better than stallworth and owens will open up the offense the way moss did for the pats and mostly welker...
btw losman didnt have success because he sucked, it had everything to do with him and nobody else. the guy is to dumb to play qb
hahahaha, thanks for showing how dumb your posts are...first 6 games...you mean the first 6 games where he was average at best? Games like the Raiders and Rams (two of the worst teams in football) were he struggled almost the whole game and had other players like K. Mitchell, Lynch, and ST bail us out to get the wins? You mean the first 6 games where he was passing for low yardage and 1 TD a game? Are those the 6 games you are referring to?
You obvioulsy look at record ONLY, probably dont even pay attention to the game when they are on, and have no idea how good or bad Trent did...
LMAO at these posts...he was good in one game, solid in another, and barely average or below average in the other 4...nothing about those 6 games qualifies as great. FYI, they were against the worst teams in the NFL on top of that...
LMAO still...I mean literally LMAO
-
let me guess u r a losman homer huh?
Geezus that response is played out...just becuase Trent has proved nothing other than that throwing for more than 1 TD in a game is rare for him (3 times in 2 years) and throwing for 300 yards is even rarer (ONCE since HIGH SCHOOL...yes high school and that was early in his Stanford days) and that he is more likely to turn the ball over than score a TD (more turnovers than TD's) does NOT mean you are a JP fan...it means you are a realist and that Trent has not lived up to his potential in either College or the Pros yet...doesnt mean he wont, but has not yet done it...
And no, I am not a JP homer...wish him well, but he was never going to succeed here and I am glad he is gone
So to compare an offense like the 07 Pats to our 09 Bills where the pats had arugably one of the 10 best QB's of all time throwing to the most dangerous WR of all time while being coached by one of the greatest coaches of all time is just absurd and laughable...
-
I'd say Brady broke out his 2nd season when he won the Super Bowl in 2001. He passed for over 4000 yards in 2005, but yes, his year with Moss in 2007 is unparalleled.
What's missing in your comparison with the Owens effect is the O-line's effectiveness. The Bills success will always come back to that offensive line question mark this year. We can hope a little magic happens between T.O. and Trent. At the skill positions, we can match just about any NFL team, except for a still unproven QB.
Brady won the SB in his first year under center...at this point, I wouldnt trust Trent to win a high school state championship
-
Yes, but there will come a day when Moss and Brady are gone, and Wilfork and Seymour can't get out of their own way. Some of the coaches and playes that got a$$-whipped by the 07 Pat*s will exact their revenge.
I can see a day when that Pat*s will be on the receiving end of 56-10, and there ain't gonna be no 4th quarter field goals by the opposition . . . .
And I will love every minute of someone running up the score on them too...I just love it when someone runs up the score on anyone so I can see millionaire grown ass men whining about it the next day who play a silly game for a living...this happens in basketball too.
Its even more annoying in basketball though because its usally the reserves in. These guys never get to play unless its a blow out, and now you want them to just stand around and do nothing because you dont want your feelings hurt from the embarrasment of sucking so bad you cant stop them? Give me a break...I say use the time to showcase some skills, try and get more playing time by throwing down some Tomahawk Dunks and raining threes...if the other team doesnt like it, then F them...they are rich ass grown men, they will get over it...
Could you imagine if you walk into your bosses office and complain about how Joe Blow just out sold you for the month by 5 times what you sold and its making you look bad...You would get fired on the spot...yet, thats exactly what pro athletes do when the other team scores too many points and they feel it "wasn't neccessary"...
If ya dont like it, play better...simple as that...
-
I JUST WISH OUR TEAM COULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!! we need to be taking advantage right now, god stop bein a cheap skate for one season... TO isnt god he cant just automatically make up for the weaknesses
LMAO at you again...we have spent a ton of money in the last few years and brought in a BIG TIME player (way bigger than Burgess) two years in a row (Stroud and TO)...
I cant believe a thread on Burgess is at 4 pages now...he is the last thing I am going to worry about when play Pats...ever heard of:
Moss, Welker, Galloway, Taylor, Belichick, and some guy named Brady? After those 5 there about 4 or 5 more players on D I will also worry about before I worry about Burgess...
LMAO
-
were fuuucked our organization doesnt understand the meaning of offseason, yes they got TO but who else have they gotten that can actually help our squad immediately in the areas that need most help ( OL, DL)
You clearly dont know anything about anything...DL? OL? Two areas we heavily addressed...We drafted the top prospects at C, G, and DE in the entire draft...we signed Hargartner, etc...
LMAO at your post
-
I was in Vegas a few weeks ago and put $100 on the Bills to win the SB at 30/1 and a similar bet to win the AFC...
GO BILLS!!!
-
Who cares...Burgess isnt what scares me about the Pats...this does:
Moss, Welker, Galloway, Taylor, BB, oh and some dude named Brady...

Seriously Noob, I dont even know what to say...LMAO...We could have Jerry Rice, Marvin Harrisson, Shannon Sharp and Barry Sanders all in their prime and we wouldnt touch the 07 Pats because of two reasons...Brady and BB...Brady is arguably already a top 10 QB all time with plenty of football left in front of him, and BB is the only coach in history with enough balls to keep attacking when he is up 30 in the 4th Qtr (which I absolutely loved to see) which is what allowed Brady and Co. to go off for so many points...
On a side note, I have to say I loved every minute of BB running up the score that year, even on the Bills. The reason was simple...I found it hilarious to see grown ass men who are being paid millions of dollars to play a GAME for a living whine and moan about it the next day...
My philosophy is simple, IF YOU DONT LIKE IT, PLAY BETTER. The object of the game is to score points, so I find it hilarious when these millionaires whine about them scoring too many points. In a game as violent and tough as Football it is so funny to see people get their feelings hurt when they are not good enough to stop the other team and are mad when they dont take it easy on them...
For that, I will be the first to admit I rather enjoyed watching the Pats run the score up...

Some of my biggest complaints:
QB
M. Ryan (ATL) - 85
M. Cassell (KC) - 83
T. Edwards - 76
DB
D. Rodgers-Cromartie (ARZ) - 87
L. McKelvin - 78
RB
T. Jones (NYJ) - 90
M. Turner (ATL) - 95
M. Lynch - 87
What are you complaining about? Ryan and Cassell are better than Edwards to this point...simple as that, just look at the stat sheets and what they have accomplished.
McKelvin? What did he do last year other than show a little promise at DB? No one even knows if he will even be any good as a starter yet. He is a dynamic KR/PR, but has done nothing as a DB yet...
Lynch...what has he done to be much higher? His ypc are always modest at best, lacks superior speed, and dances too much at the line. If he ever gets to a point where he always hits the hold fast and hard he will be a dominant back in this league, but right now he is really good, not Elite yet.
All 3 players have great potential to be great, but none of them have been great yet. Edwards has been barely average, McKelvin showed flashes but doesnt have enough playing time, and Lynch could be great once he starts consisting hitting the hole fast and hard instead of dancing behind the line too much and hesitating.
LMAO at the "homer" warped reality of Bills fans on the Madden rankings.

Tim Graham article.
http://myespn.go.com/blogs/afceast/0-9-78/...n--Madden-.html
Rated worse than Sanchez. bull sh-- imo.
Oh, and they also screwed up our O-Line, and have Brad Butler playing RG.
You cant be serious? What has he done to deserve a higher rating? More turnovers than TD's, only more than 1 TD 3 times in 2 years and has just one 300 yard passing game since HIGH SCHOOL, and it was in College during his first year at Stanford. He has accomplished nothing yet other than establish he has potential.
So what do you think he should be rated as...90's? LMAO at this post. The kid has potential, and I think he could finally put it together this year, but has NOT yet to live up to any of that potential in College or the NFL...you dont give high ratings to players who have yet to put it together.
FYI: Sanchez has a stronger and more accurate Arm than Edwards, and that is just fact to this point. Whether or not Sanchez can put it together on the field is a whole other question. So in Madden, his arm strength will be higher and so will his accuracy probably (or at least close) which are the two most important ratings for a QB in Madden. Not to mention I am sure Trents INJ is low in the game too since he is so fragile...the only thing Trent should be higher on is awareness, but since he has more turnovers than TD's in his career between INT's and lost Fumbles, I doubt is Awareness score is very good either. That translates into a better rating for Sanchez...no surprise here at all.

Why is it every lame noob posts about how they hate dick...admit it, you love dick...
-
After the James Hardy fiasco, you have to wonder about Shawn Nelson.
Will they try to turn him into a classical blocking tight end? Unlikely, to me.
So then is he split end, slot receiver, flanker, idiotic H-back...what?
Or will they sit him next to Chris Ellis until he bulks up? Let's hope they don't Kevin Everett him.
He will play, and it will be split time and he will likely be used primarily as a recieving threat. If he ever develops into a consistent or reliable blocker then he will start outright.
-
Please Bills, sign this guy before someone else does. I have zero faith in our tackles, right now. Our O-Line is the only thing stopping us from having a top 10 offense.
Oh thank you *sarcasm* ... Because I was so worried someone wouldnt post the daily thread about Walker or the LT position *more sarcasm*
I cant wait for the season to begin and our O Line to be better so this barrage of the same threads can stop...its like the movie "Groundhog Day" around here...
-
Im not sure if I can count on Langston Walker this year on the left side. Looks like a big weakness to me.
Another question is... why can't this guy lose any weight?
I will tell you what I trust...
I trust this board to start at minimum one Langston Walker at LT thread every single day...

Making the case for Derrick Brooks
Chris Brown
Posted July 10th, 2009
Tags: Derrick Brooks, NFL free agency
I know Bills fans have discussed ad nauseaum this offseason ever since this perennial Pro Bowl LB became available. But Derrick Brooks is still out there. And the St. Petersburg Times makes a great case as to why this future HOF LB should not be a free agent right now.
The story mentions a lot of prospective teams, five in fact, not one of which is the Bills, who would be a fit scheme-wise.
If I were and the Bills and if I was interested (I said IF), I’d try to sell Brooks on the fact that Buffalo’s defensive coordinator Perry Fewell worked under his former LB coach Lovie Smith and employs a dramatically similar scheme (no cram study required on playbook).
I’d use the signing of Terrell Owens as an example of how the Bills are anxious to win now, something that would appeal to Brooks who wants to go to a winning situation.
Finally I’d also mention that he’d have an opportunity to face his old division (NFC South) playing in Buffalo, so there would be a great deal of familiarity for him with respect to opponents. And he’d get to face his former team in Week 2.
Again it’s a big ‘IF’, but if someone goes down in camp to injury and Brooks is still out there I know who I’d call.

Yea, I know, he's too old
I cant wait for him to sign somewhere so we dont get a new thread about him just about every day. If he signs here, great, if not, then oh well...but man, seems like a new thread on him every day
