BEAST MODE BABY! Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Maybin's position with team "tenuous" http://blogs.buffalonews.com/billboard/
sfbillsfan2 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Heard that as well. You have to like the honesty of Gailey and the clear message he was giving Maybin.
Chandler#81 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Maybin's position with team "tenuous" http://blogs.buffalo....com/billboard/ Gotta love the guy. He and Nix shoot straight. He considers Whitner 'tenuous' as well. "The right tackle, I’ll be honest with you, I thought Erik Pears played as well as you could expect the last game and a half he played for us.". So, does this pointed remark mean the search is over at RT?
Endless Ike Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Is George Edwards even capable of running a multiple look scheme effectively? every defense in the NFL is a multiple look defense. If he's not then he doesn't belong in the NFL. Every defensive scheme has strengths and weaknesses, defenses change "schemes" like offenses change formations, to keep the other side guessing and off-kilter.
MRM33064 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) One might take a quick glance at the stat sheets and conclude that this particular message had been delivered to Maybin fairly consistently throughout the season. The "tenuous" knock on Donte; however, is pretty dramatic for CoachSpeak®. That sounds more like "don't let the door hit ya on the way out" than typical negotiation posturing.

Sisyphean Bills Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Perhaps treating the last game as a walk-through wasn't what Gailey was looking for?
Green Lightning Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 You gotta be amazed at his candor. I never heard a coach lay it out like that. Remarkable. I do hope he doesn't think Pears is our answer at RT however.......

My impression was that he'd like to have him, but not at the price Whitner thinks he's worth.

I think coach just meant the guy got tossed into the deep end with cinder blocks tied to each arm and he didn't instantly drown.
MRM33064 Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 My impression was that he'd like to have him, but not at the price Whitner thinks he's worth. The "worth" point is definitely true, and I sense Chan didn't love the timing of all the big money talk amidst a dicey season ... but that word "tenuous" is strong, especially when the exact same word was used to describe Maybin's situation a few seconds earlier ... Meh, who knows.
Kevin Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Gailey on Maybin "He's on the outside looking in". Also, defensive staff will remain intact next year. Defense will probably run a multiple front system. I wonder how that will translate to the draft? Edited January 4, 2011 by Kevin
Rubes Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Well, it certainly sounds from that like Maybin is gone, Whitner is most likely gone, and Bell is going to be the LT. So no high draft picks for a LT, it would seem. I can't quite interpret what he meant concerning Pears, but my guess is that they are probably content to go into next year with the Pears/Wrotto combination. He thinks the offensive line will be much better next year, so I think they have enough young guys at this point in Wrotto, Pears, Rinehart, Urbik, etc that we probably won't be grabbing any offensive linemen before round 4 or 5. As for the multiple defensive fronts...my interpretation: "We don't have good enough guys to play just a 3-4." This all just makes me think we are going with defense, defense, and more defense with the draft. Edited January 4, 2011 by Rubes

Every defensive scheme has strengths and weaknesses, defenses change "schemes" like offenses change formations, to keep the other side guessing and off-kilter. thats not true. just like galiey said KC and cleveland are always in the 3/4 and i would add many more teams to that list. if you have the personell to run a 3/4 then 99% of the time your in a 3/4. they may run variations of a 3/4 but they will always be in some form of a 3/4. what galiey was saying was that the bills do not yet have the personnell to run a straight 3/4 thus they will be multiple in that they will be in a 4/3 sometimes and a 3/4 other times. however what does our head coach know compared to you?

So no high draft picks for a LT, it would seem. I have to disagree with your take on Bell. "He did OK," is not a high endorsement at all. Gailey confirmed what some of us have said all along, Bell is weak and really needs to improve his conditioning and functional strength. CG is correct to commend Bell for gutting it through a whole season, but that's a long ways from a ringing endorsement. In fact, from the direction of his thoughts, I'd say Chan's primary concerns at present are the offensive line and linebackers. I'd be thinking the same thing in his shoes.
billsfan714 Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Maybin should take a million of his unearned bucks and hire Wake and Tamba Hali in the off season to teach him how to rush the passer.
agardin Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) I'm guessin' BPA and he'll fit 'em in. I think multiple fronts is the way to go. NE does it, the D line guys need to be rotated anyways so why not do it through multiple personel packages. It does allow you to draft the BPA on D and know that they will be on the field. If the Bills end up playing one front better than the other that formation will become the de facto D in time. Edited January 4, 2011 by agardin
Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 This is perfect reason why the GM and head coach shouldn't be the same guy. If gaily thinks Bell and Fitz are the answer and pears did good we are in trouble. Hopefully Nix isn't as emotionally involved as Chan and get the right guys in here and so we can be a 34 team. You can't flop back and fourth between when we don't even have the guys for a 34. We need pick one and run with it and occasionally use a different front to confuse the offense.
stevewin Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I think we’ll probably end up being a true multiple front team instead of a true 3-4 team just because our personnel dictates that. I think we’re probably a little bit better suited. I’ve not talked to the defensive staff about this, but just looking at it on the surface right now, I’d probably say we’re going to be multiple front I guess in this he is referring to next year specifically? ie., they ran multiple fronts this year, and he thinks they will do the same next year - but that hasn't been verified/confirmed w/ the defensive staff yet?

It's amazing how people take thing like 'he had an OK' year and turn that into a ringing endorsement of a player. Is it reading comprehension? Willfull denial? Acid Trip? I guess in this he is referring to next year specifically? ie., they ran multiple fronts this year, and he thinks they will do the same next year - but that hasn't been verified/confirmed w/ the defensive staff yet? I am not sure what you are actually asking, but there's no (zero) reason to misunderstand that line as referring anything other than he hasn't talked to the defensive staff and evaluated the season and talked about next season.
