AReed Deep For 7 Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 I disagree He reminds me alot of Ray Lewis Im dying to hear how he reminds you of Ray Lewis. Did Maybin murder somebody I didnt know about
Meathead Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 very unlikely to make this years squad imo. if you cant get on the field for one of the worst ds in the league and youre too dumb to play st then you have virtually no value to the team
Gabe Northern Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 He has physical athleticism. He doesn't know how to use it. If he can be coached up, sure he could be good. But it appears he cannot be, so I'm going to have to say.... nope. This talk of athleticism is nonsense. He is the size of a tall safety. If George Wilson played outside linebacker, he's look damn athletic too flying around there with much larger bodies. The team gambled that he could reliably gain 25-35 pounds on his frame. He couldn't and now it's over.

eball Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 He reminds me of Ray Charles!! Or Jerry Lewis
GG Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Naah, I think he's more of a Derrick Thomas kind of LB. Right now or in his prime?
shoretalk Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 You sure do ask a lot of question 'round here. In what regards? Physically, Maybin has the tools, the body is a little small and light, but it is there. Mentally, it is hard to say because we have seen so little. He seems to be maturing, he seems to be "getting it". However, from reports, he does not understand football. His skill set is average, at best, with his room for improvement seemingly tapped. He played to his highest potential in college, it would appear and has nothing more to improve upon. In short, his limitted football intelligence, his lack of progression to transition in the NFL, and his shortcomings improving his physical size have to make me believe that there is not much hope for Maybin. I truly hope I am wrong, I never want to count anyone out and maybe this kid will show us something...then again...Maybinot. Premier??? He may have the tools to become an average player if he ever applies himself but after watching him disappear for two years and not even make a play on Special Teams ... I cannot imagine him ever becoming a regular you can count on. In my mind he has one more preseason to prove his abilities otherwise he'll ride the bench into obscurity.
offsides#76FredSmerlas Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Does Aaron Maybin have what it takes to become one of the NFL’s premier defensive players? Your comments please He'll be cut before the first game!!!
jumbalaya Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Maybin needs to show up weighing about 242 to 245, with an agressive attitude and great first step! Not likely
vincec Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Is this guy trolling? Obviously. Hey, I have a question too. Will Trent Edwards become a pro-bowl QB now that he is finally out of Buffalo?
C-zone Umpa Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Does Aaron Maybin have what it takes to become one of the NFL’s premier defensive players? NO HELL NO
Red Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) This post can't be serious. Maybin does not have what it takes to get a decent haircut. Premier??? He may have the tools to become an average player if he ever applies himself but after watching him disappear for two years and not even make a play on Special Teams ... I cannot imagine him ever becoming a regular you can count on. In my mind he has one more preseason to prove his abilities otherwise he'll ride the bench into obscurity. Bench? You mean CUT into obscurity, right? Edited February 18, 2011 by Red

DDD Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 that remains to be seen. However I do think he has the talent to try a different position..... Where else do you suggest we put him? The best position for him is on the waiver wire.
truth on hold Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Hard to truly know until he grows up and starts listening to his coaches. Remember, HE ONLY PLAYED 12 GAMES AT PENN STATE. He was very green when drafted. Physically what I do like is his speed in a straight line. Physically what I don't like is when he over pursues, he has a hard time recovering and getting back into the play. Technique-wise what I don't like is how wide he casts his arms in pursuit. I think this is why he's a poor tackler. Maturity-wise he's a disaster, starting his own website and self proclaiming himself "Mayhem" before he did a darn thing in the NFL. I also doubt he can add enough weight to play DE, and therefore he must make it as an LB. Let's hope the wake up call he got from the coaching staff this year is reflected in hard work and maturation this offseason. Be a huge an unexpected benefit if he can contribute at OLB. But I'm certainly not counting on it.
Dennis in NC Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I disagree He reminds me alot of Ray Lewis Hey, I've got this really nice bridge you may be interested in buying... But seriously, 99999, where do you see the Ray Lewis resemblance in Maybin? Most people do not see what you are seeing.
Dragonborn10 Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Tamba Hali - same school, same body size ld the AFC in sacks in his 5th year after struggling for a long time. Give him more time. What is there to lose?
