Fan in San Diego Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Based solely on actually watching Maybin play (well into the 4th quarter) tonight, I can't see how it's possible he makes the Jets final roster. He looks exactly the same as he did with the Bills: taking a severely wide angle trying to speed rush the LT and getting pushed effortlessly aside, completely swallowed up on running plays, exhibiting no instincts on how to play the ballcarrier--- he was the defensive equivalent of a RB dancing in the hole with how indecisive he was on how and when to approach the runner. When the play went to the opposite side he took a sharp 45degree angle toward the sideline, taking himself dramatically out of the play as if he were a safety trying to cutoff a receiver in the open field. I honestly don't think I've seen that in an NFL game before. He literally didn't even come close to making a single play, and he was on the field for most of the game--- that's with getting single blocked all night by Cincinatti's 1st, 2nd and 3rd string LTs. I don't know what else to say. If he weren't so bizarrely arrogant I guess I wouldn't really care but it's fascinating to watch. So much for the training camp reports. I watched him a bit yesterday and noticed the same thing. He did jump on the ball when it was batted down to the ground on a pass play. Since he was already away from the play he was the first one there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobChalmers Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I like the Bengals this year. They have a nice defense and some up and coming guys. F MayBEen. Garbage. F the J. E. S. T's And F Sp(f)ags for being an idiot on a the message boards trolling because he's got nothing better to do. Agreed - people need to stop penciling in the Ravens - they aren't going to make the playoffs this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You herd it hear last Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I like the Bengals this year. They have a nice defense and some up and coming guys. F MayBEen. Garbage. F the J. E. S.

Did you watch the Bengals game?... a ton of injuries to their up 'n coming guys...sorry, but you think WE had a bad game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Agreed - people need to stop penciling in the Ravens - they aren't going to make the playoffs this year. I still like the ravens over cincy. If the ravens and cincy don't make it, it likely means we have a good shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I agree on the Maybin posts above after watching the first half or so. He was absolutely terrible, always trying to take a wide angle to the QB only to get pushed further off course by the T on him, who each probably had one of the easiest games in their respective careers. I don't think they cut him this week, but unless he vastly improves he may indeed get cut. Also impressed with Coples--they may have hit on that pick....
