eball Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 You can't make this up: "Ryan said he would prepare Howard by using former Bills pass-rusher Aaron Maybin and first-round draft pick Quinton Coples on the scout team to act like Williams."
The Big Cat Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Smash cut to Maybin sitting in front of a mirror, shaving his hairline to look receding, rehearsing a North Carolinian drawl.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Smash cut to Maybin sitting in front of a mirror, shaving his hairline to look receding, rehearsing a North Carolinian drawl. haha; was just going to post something similar. "No, no, Aaron. You have to act like him on the field."
Stevie Ray Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Perhaps if Maybin ate Coples first, he would at least come close to Mario's weight. thats a start.
jimmy10 Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 The undersized guy + The unmotivated guy. Add them together and you get Mario. Makes perfect sense.
Meathead Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Perhaps if Maybin ate Coples first, he would at least come close to Mario's weight. thats a start. one black guy eating another, thats disgusting everyone knows its only the children that are good for eating
ko12010 Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) The undersized guy + The unmotivated guy. Add them together and you get Mario. Makes perfect sense. Yeah, I'm confused...does Rex mean use both of them at the same time to simulate 1 Mario? Edited September 5, 2012 by ko12010
Turbosrrgood Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 You can't make this up: "Ryan said he would prepare Howard by using former Bills pass-rusher Aaron Maybin and first-round draft pick Quinton Coples on the scout team to act like Williams." That is hilarious for obvious reasons... Unfortunately Howard looked ok in his time in there. After watching Hunter's play in the preseason, I was so hoping to see him try to block Williams and Co. You'd like to hope they will still school Howard, but Hunter was a mess...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Yeah, I'm confused...does Rex mean use both of them at the same time to simulate 1 Mario? Makes perfect sense. Maybin will run 8 yards up field in a long arc. Hunter meanwhile can block Coples for 3-4 seconds, and the when he's done, Maybin will have completed his loop and can be tapped gently to the ground. Rex is pretty smart.
todzilla Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Saw that Rex has them lining up offsides to simulate Mario's speed off the ball. Love it.
biglukes Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Funny, I don't recall Mario ever lining up 10 yards off tackle, running in a straight line way past the QB, and then getting pancaked by a running back on his way back towards the play.

I thought it would be more like Maybin sitting on Coples' shoulders.
The Big Cat Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Headline from January 5, 2013: Aaron Maybin named NFL Defensive MVP "Turns out all I had to do was act like Mario Williams. Who knew?"
Cugalabanza Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Great thread! I think Maybin will revolutionize the pass rushing DE position. In the future, teams will use superfast CB types to just run completely around the protection. It'll be a new drill at the combine... Who can run the fastest 10 yard circle. It reminds me of a bad tennis player who has a lousy backhand so he runs all the way off the court just so he can hit the forehand because it's all he has.
PromoTheRobot Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 You forgot to mention that Maybin had to line up offsides to simulate Mario's speed rush. Apparently Maybin isn't fast enough. http://wgr550.com/All-hands-on-deck-to-prepare-Jets-OL-for-Bills--Ma/14162797 PTR
BillsGuyInMalta Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Funny, I don't recall Mario ever lining up 10 yards off tackle, running in a straight line way past the QB, and then getting pancaked by a running back on his way back towards the play. Well done. Well done. I also like how Rex is "simulating" Williams speed by lining up Maybin offsides. Guess what Rexy? Most people fear Mario's strength over his speed and Aaron Maybin sure isn't going to simulate that properly. Comparing Maybin's hitting power to Mario Williams' hitting power is like comparing a Hot Wheels toy car to a freight train.
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Yeah, I'm confused...does Rex mean use both of them at the same time to simulate 1 Mario? Maybin is put on Coples' shoulders and a big white sheet is thrown over both of them. Then Sanchez is taught to run away from the scary ghost.
K-9 Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 This is perfect. By being able to practice against Maybin, Howard will be lulled into a false sense of confidence. Heck, the Jest OTs have been lulled all summer. Our OTs, on the other hand, will really be able to appreciate the difference between what they've been seeing all summer and what they'll see on Sunday out of the Jest DEs. GO BILLS!!!
