cåblelady Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2010/09/30/moats-at-olb/ OMG! AWESOME !!!
JinWPB Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 And so MAYBEn checks for airport departure times on tuesday.
Dawgg Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2010/09/30/moats-at-olb/ Genius idea. Play a guy at a position he's most comfortable with. How about playing Wood at center???? Nah, makes too much sense
Roc Bronson Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 This could be a good thing. This move definitely sounds better then Maybin or kelsay. I was just reading this on BB.com lets hope they make this move sooner then later..
joejoebills Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 I really like this, he has size and can rush the passer... too small for a DE which was his position in college. Go Bills
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Kelsay has to be next one cut for this team to be taken seriously. OOOPs, forgot...
MrNix Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2010/09/30/moats-at-olb/ Cool. Arthur's the man!
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 How much do you want to bet he gets a sack on Sunday? Guy looked like crap at ILB early in pre-season, but slowly came on and every time he was asked to rush the passer, there was havoc. Contrast that with Maybin, who looks like he gets smooshed directly downward everytime he tries to rush the passer.

Contrast that with Maybin, who looks like he gets smooshed directly downward everytime he tries to rush the passer. I agree, I think he gets a sack and puts pressure on the QB a couple of times. The guy is a hard worker and unlike Maybin, he knows how to play football. I hope he has a good game and can stick in the lineup.
crazyDingo Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 QUICK!Someone sign him to a multi-year extension before the league gets wind of his quiet awesomeness.
Chandler#81 Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Another testament to Gailey's repuatation as a coach who will create scenarios based on the talent and skill the particular player brings. Gotta love it! Best wishes, Arthur!
whodat Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 I agree, I think he gets a sack and puts pressure on the QB a couple of times. The guy is a hard worker and unlike Maybin, he knows how to play football. I hope he has a good game and can stick in the lineup. +1 I bet he makes an impact right away. Would like to see more of Chris Ellis. He was also starting to contribute but found bench time after getting his first sack.

The guy is a hard worker and unlike Maybin, he knows how to play football. I hope he has a good game and can stick in the lineup. Really? I would be surprised if he touches the field for anything other than special teams. He likely goes behind Antonio Coleman on the OLB depth chart to start. I wouldn't be surprised if he's inactive. Not to say I don't like him as a player and think he has a decent future, just not this week, and probably not next. Edited October 1, 2010 by Ghost of Rob Johnson

bluv Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 I don't want to get my hopes up high and crown the guy too early. But if he or any other young OLB steps in and plays even average or above it will make the Kelsay extension look even dumber! They rushed to extend a guy playing out of position that nobody wanted! Now to avoid having egg on their face they will definitely try to make that square peg fit unless he got hurt. I'd rather see one of these young guys get a chance to improve than watch an average vet fade!

Not to say I don't like him as a player and think he has a decent future, just not this week, and probably not next. from Chris Brown at bb.com: Whether Moats gets the chance to rush from the OLB position on Sunday remains to be seen, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he got 10-15 snaps knowing how much Gailey would like to jumpstart the pass rush. It’s all part of Gailey and his staff finding the right personnel combinations and they know they need more consistent pass pressure. FWIW. What about Coleman, has no stats. has he been seeing snaps? SP?
Dr. Trooth Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 And so MAYBEn checks for airport departure times on tuesday. Not exactly. That might imply another team has claimed him off waivers. 31 other teams can't be as dumb as the Bills were on this guy. Moats seeing time means that the Bills experiment with Maybin is coming to a conclusion and are running out of options on pass rushers.

Moats seeing time means that the Bills experiment with Maybin is coming to a conclusion and are running out of options on pass rushers. I really don't believe moving Moats to OLB will cut into the amount of playing time Maybin sees. The reason I'm saying this is because Maybin has been seeing most of his snaps as a DE in our 4-3 package this year....I really can't recall him seeing many snaps at OLB yet. Hopefully, the Bills will wise up and start using Coleman a little more, especially as a DE when they line up in a 4-3. I was impressed with what I saw from Coleman during the preseason and I don't see how he wouldn't be an upgrade over Maybin.
