BillsFan Trapped in Pats Land Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 Certainly looks like we got some great value for a 4th rounder, the type of pick you need to be successful for the long-term viability of the team.
Peter Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 Yes at kick returner. Hopefully at DB. I presume that he will learn from his mistakes. He certainly has the ability.
daquixers Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 People are stupid. TD is a great General Manager.
Simon Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 People are stupid. At first I thought my monitor was leaking. Then I realized it was just dripping with irony.......

TD is a great General Manager. 149135[/snapback] Too bad he didn't tell his toady, GW, to have McGee run back kicks last year, having come out of the college ranks as one of the most highly rated return men. Pretty simple, eh?

John from Riverside Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 I honestly did not realize that he was this good..... Our special teams has turned into a real weapon....we need to get this kid extended......
WILLIS Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 once he gets better at running without slipping, his coverage skills will start to improve also.
AKC Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 While McGee is doing a superb job as a return man, it's the blocking on return teams that has impressed me to a higher (or even much higher) degree. After too many years watching our return men running up the backs of their blockers it's clear April is absolutely solid on return timing adn the teaching of it, and given the better athletes the team has been willing to offer him on STs has made our return game very dangerous in short order. IMO if we brought in other return men to play in our unit we'd still be far more dangerous than would McGee playing behind, for instance, the Falcons return team. It's another example as far as I'm concerened of the fixation on the ball we all as fans find ourselves slave to at times. Now there's no doubt that McGee has an excellent shot at the Pro Bowl spot in the AFC, but like most of those before him he'd really be representing the blockers from his return unit in Hawaii.

While I didn't think A. Brown was a very good football player, the blocking in front of him was absolutely abysmal. Seeing London Fletcher out there absolutely DESTROYING people on KR is awesome.
