thebug Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 I will always remember the gasps from all the fans at the stadium when he was picked.
FitzShowUsYourTitz Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) Interview from the NY Post: http://www.nypost.co...jGBnDnHg5Pfl65O Some Highlights....."They are moving him around from his usual outside pass rush spot. He has lined up as an inside linebacker and even in the 3-technique over a guard........The problem for Maybin has never been playing fast, though. His problems have based on poor technique and being too light. This offseason, Maybin has packed on the pounds. He reached 254 pounds before dropping down to 240 before camp. It is a challenge for Maybin to keep weight on. He said he’s needed IVs during camp because he has lost as much as 10 pounds during a practice. At lunch, he puts on a show. He said his usual lunch consists of 4-8 chicken breast, a steak or fish, a salad, a vegetable, and a “really big” bowl of fruit. Maybin said the Jets plan on using his metabolism to their advantage this season. If they face a run-heavy team, he will add weight. A pass heavy team? He will lose it. “I can gain or lose 20 pounds in a 3-day period,” Maybin said. “It’s ridiculous.” Yes it is. I can't wait for the season to start!!! Edited August 15, 2012 by Cville Bills

Fan in San Diego Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 To think we could have had Arakpo instead.
K-9 Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Ah yes. The seldom seen but always dangerous "metabolic advantage." Unbelievable. GO BILLS!!!

It is as useful as strapping 20 lb weights under your uniform if it's just weight and not muscle, right? Am I dreaming this? What coach would buy into this philosophy??

This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to using Maybin's metabolic advantage. I hear the Jets are actually refining it to the point where Maybin will weigh more on run downs and less on passing downs. He will actually gain/lose those 20 pounds between plays! I can't believe how stupid the Bills' coaches were. GO BILLS!!!
Bud Adams Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) Haven't seen this posted yet, but I'm sure it'll be pointed out if it was. Today's New York Post's article on Maybin is amusing. I'm looking past the first first ten paragraphs of Buffalo-related stuff. I'll quote from there, bolding the parts that made me shake my head: This offseason, Maybin has packed on the pounds. He reached 254 pounds before dropping down to 240 before camp. It is a challenge for Maybin to keep weight on. He said he’s needed IVs during camp because he has lost as much as 10 pounds during a practice. At lunch, he puts on a show. He said his usual lunch consists of 4-8 chicken breast, a steak or fish, a salad, a vegetable, and a “really big” bowl of fruit. Maybin said the Jets plan on using his metabolism to their advantage this season. If they face a run-heavy team, he will add weight. A pass heavy team? He will lose it. “I can gain or lose 20 pounds in a 3-day period,” Maybin said. “It’s ridiculous.” I'm no doctor, but I'd like to hear from one or two on this board. How can this possibly be healthy? Has a player ever been used in this manner? To me, this is an injury waiting to happen on Opening Day, and continues to prove that Rex is a complete moron. But I'd love the pros' take.

FleaMoulds80 Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 I change my mind. I would love to have a team of Maybin's. That way each Maybin can alter their weight depending on the position they play, plus benefitting the team.
Nukethis Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 I think Bob Corkum had a better career in Buffalo than "Mayhem".
Dorkington Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Why is TBD so obsessed with former Bills players they don't like?
swnybillsfan Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 i have no idea how this could really be the case. seems like that much weight gain or loss in such a short span would mean a player would either be bloated or dehydrated, neither of which would be ideal.
K-9 Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Why is TBD so obsessed with former Bills players they don't like? Obsessed? C'mon. The linked NY Post article is groundbreaking stupid. Even for Maybin. He's bringing this crap on himself. Perhaps you're obsessed with those you perceive as obsessed? GO BILLS!!!
K-9 Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Psst! Check out the "Maybin Mayhem" thread. GO BILLS!!!
Nukethis Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Why is TBD so obsessed with former Bills players they don't like? If you look at the homepage, its a Buffalo Bills Forum. That usually means that people who are signed in are allowed to discuss whatever they wish (within reason) both pro and con. Are you a member of the thought police who feels the need to make everyone fall in line with your way of thinking and put a happy face on Ronnie Harmon, Marshawn, Walt Patulski, Maybin, Donte Whitner etc ? Theres 4 guys that flame out for every success story in the NFL and it would certainly be a boring forum if everyone blew sunshine up the a$$es of all of the Bills players and coaches 24/7/365
Bud Adams Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Psst! Check out the "Maybin Mayhem" thread. GO BILLS!!! Psst! That's entitled "Mayhem Interview." I'm supposed to know what that is? Didn't even come up in a search for "Maybin." BA
NoSaint Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 some kids eat paste, or crayons, or lead paint chips... aaron maybin ate sponges from infomercials, and had a sham wow as a blanket which he also may have nibbled on. the end result is he can hold 20 lbs of water more than any of us. Why is TBD so obsessed with former Bills players they don't like? i normally agree with this sentiment, but this is a medical marvel to me now. im very curious and dont even generally dislike him.
Bud Adams Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Why is TBD so obsessed with former Bills players they don't like? It's nothing personal. If the player goes to a division rival, he (whoever "he" may be) is the enemy. I felt the same way about Thurman when he signed with the Fins. I despised him for that entire season. BA
Fan in San Diego Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Why is TBD so obsessed with former Bills players they don't like? For me it's because we took Maybin over Arakpo! What a monstrous failure of judgement. Arakpo looked like the hulk and Maybin looked like a little kid and still does. How could they have passed on Arakpo.
Optometric Insight Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 2) When it showed Maybin in practice, he really looked like a high schooler out there I don't know, I think I could've done better.
