BuffaloBillsForever Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) Damn, we need a top ten pass rusher! Why can't we find guys like these? Maybin gets to the quartback applying pressure every 6.45 snaps. That is 9th best in the league. I actually like this stat better than total number of sacks. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d824ec208/article/jets-de-maybin-finds-unlikely-bond-with-coaching-intern Edited December 11, 2011 by BuffaloBillsForever
John Cocktosten Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 He also leads TBD in dead horses beaten

eSJayDee Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 I think that primarily just means he doesn't play many snaps.
The Big Cat Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 I remember the outrage in Bills nation when we sent him packing.
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Yeah, he really only plays in obvious passing situations. Wheres the stat that would show how huge a liability he is in defending the run? or how he has like 0 tackles outside of sacks...

And this typifies the narrow minded thinking of many a Bills fan (and more disturbingly, coach) in my opinion. Because Maybin is a specialty player who only plays in certain (passing in this case) situations, this means he is worthless. The Bills could not figure out a way to use him, the Jets did. It is a good thing for the Bills (except when they play the Jets), the Jets, and Maybin that he is now on the Jets. It is 100% irrelevant how he defends the run.

xsoldier54 Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) Do you think we should have cut him? Absolutely. Maybe getting cut was a wakeup call, who knows? The fact is that he couldn't get on the field in Buffalo, through two different coaching staffs is certainly a red flag. He was given every opportunity and couldn't get it done. Maybe getting cut twice has opened his eyes. Either way, he wasn't helping us, so good riddance. Edited December 11, 2011 by xsoldier54
BuffaloBillsForever Posted December 11, 2011 Author Posted December 11, 2011 Do you think we should have cut him? He should have been giving more playing time in his tenure here. Do you think we should have cut him? I will never know. Now if we gave him regular playing time like a Kelsay and he sucked then yes, I would be fine with cutting him. Maybin is flawed but one bills drive didn't give the kid enough of a chance on the field. Yeah, he really only plays in obvious passing situations. Wheres the stat that would show how huge a liability he is in defending the run? or how he has like 0 tackles outside of sacks... But a guy like Chris Kelsay makes it on the field week after week who rarely applies pressure and is unable to outside contain on the run? Chris Kelsay production this year is exactly the production you are talking about Maybin at his worst.
Gray Beard Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 He was being paid top dollar in Buffalo. The Jets got him cheap. Big difference for a specialty/luxury player. And we all know the Bills need the cap room.
KD in CA Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Maybin gets to the quartback applying pressure every 6.45 snaps. That is 9th best in the league. I actually like this stat better than total number of sacks. What a ridiculous stat. He only plays on 3d and long. That's like putting in a different QB every time you have a first and goal and then looking at his TDs per attempt ratio.
Doc Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 It was a mistake to draft him, and then to cut him after just 2 years.
BuffaloBillsForever Posted December 11, 2011 Author Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) What a ridiculous stat. He only plays on 3d and long. This is myth passed on from the time when he played with the Bills. In a Jets uniform you see him in 1st, 2nd and 3rd down situations. Edited December 11, 2011 by BuffaloBillsForever
BuffaloBillsForever Posted December 11, 2011 Author Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) LOL I just seen KC's o-line drawing a double team to Maybin! He's a force that now takes up TWO bodies! LOL Edited December 11, 2011 by BuffaloBillsForever
dayman Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 We should have never cut Maybin that's the bottom line. We have no idea how to use anybody on defense. We suck. We need new coaches BADLY

If Maybin were doing this as a Bill he would still be hated because he would be a situational player drafted at #11...a.k.a. a wasted draft pick. PTR
Dan Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Maybin is the poster child for the Bills defensive coaching staff's ineptitude. He's the exact same player, same weight, same moves, same experience level on the Jets as he was the Bills. We cut him him because he's a complete bust and useless; a few weeks later he's getting it done as a Jet.The mantra here has always been we need players with more talent. Well, I offer Maybin as a prime example of the talent level being adequate. It's just our coaches are clueless in how to develop and properly use the talent. Face it... The Bills won't have a winning season until the defense improves. The defense won't improve until we get new coaches that can ....coach.
