boyst Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Probably not but he's been a disappointment so far IMO. i promise. give him time. i've been watching him a lot.he's like donald jones but can get deep and get open. he just needs to catch.
MattM Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Haven't had a chance to watch, from.what I am hearing Bills are playing "Wannstadt" defense and getting smoked with no movement or blitzing? They just blitzed and sacked the 'Skins 12th string QB
GG Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 I not too down on the offense s it was somewhat expected, especially with Stevie rusty and Kolb calling the shots. But I expected a bit more from the D. LBs and DBs still need work.
Pete Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Man, the Bills invested a 3rd rounder in the guy. But yes, he doesn't look like one of our better receivers to me. a few picks before Russel Wilson Hughes and Williams sacks!
jahnyc Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 At this point, I think there is enough of a body of work to make judgments about McKelvin. He is an amazing athlete and maybe the new coaches will make a difference, but I am not sure a lack of instincts can be fixed.
RCOHEN13 Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Duke Williams makes 1 more play in that drive that Searcy did all 1st half!
Big C Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 I think Gilmore and Searcy collided on an play. I hope Gilmore's hand thing is nothing.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 i promise. give him time. i've been watching him a lot. he's like donald jones but can get deep and get open. he just needs to catch. Well I agree that he's like Jones. A good athlete who is very unpolished as a wideout. I hope spoon feeding his raw skills will help him avoid bust status. Clearly Kolb was not putting the ball where it needed to be. Very likely EJ will be able to feed Graham the ball downfield.
GG Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Probably not but he's been a disappointment so far IMO. I always believe in the greater fool theory. Someone must think they can make a player out of him.
MDH Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Haven't had a chance to watch, from.what I am hearing Bills are playing "Wannstadt" defense and getting smoked with no movement or blitzing? No, they blitzed plenty in the first half but they rarely got pressure and even when they did Grossman and White were able to find WIDE open WRs down field for big plays. Hopefully these are just growing pains as players are trying to learn a new scheme. Hopefully.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 You can see pretty clearly that Tuel has more pocket poise than Kolb. No, they blitzed plenty in the first half but they rarely got pressure and even when they did Grossman and White were able to find WIDE open WRs down field for big plays. Hopefully these are just growing pains as players are trying to learn a new scheme. Hopefully. Correct. In spite of getting the ball out quickly, the Redskins had a lot of open receivers.
Joe Miner Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Usually he's really tight in coverage but can't make a play on the ball. Today he's been quite distant from the man he's supposed to cover. At times yes, at other times I've seen him play exactly like he's played today. He's just not a good NFL CB. Not in the past, not today, and he won't be good in the future either. I personally like Butler as the #2 CB. He' not great, and I only have a couple of preseason games to have watched him, but at this point I'd rather give him a shot than watch another year of McKelvin fail at the position. Keep McKelvin and Brooks in the slots, and let McKelvin return punts. Cut Rogers, he's worse than McKelvin. This is a game that shows what our DB's look like when we're not getting any pressure. I sure hope the gameplan today was supposed to test the DB's. If we have to rely on Searcy covering anyone this year we're in trouble.
billsfan1959 Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) Haven't had a chance to watch, from.what I am hearing Bills are playing "Wannstadt" defense and getting smoked with no movement or blitzing? A defense comprised primarily of starters giving up 300 yards of offense to Grossman and White in a half (and getting pretty much manhandled) is certainly reminiscent of a number of games last year. They certainly have not played with the same level of intensity or energy of the first two pre-season games - and have been awful both offensively and defensively...from top to bottom. Pretty dismal performance. Hopefully, just one of those days. Edited August 24, 2013 by billsfan1959

Hopefully these are just growing pains as players are trying to learn a new scheme. Hopefully. Yeah that one first quarter blitz looked awkward. Two Bills guys essentially blocked each other out of the pad rush. I hope it wasn't drained like that.
Lurker Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 You can see pretty clearly that Tuel has more pocket poise than Kolb. Where does Pat White stand as the fourth QB after RGIII comes back? He'd look pretty good if he comes available...
Corp000085 Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Love that Snyder just al,out said oh sh-- on tv.
BillnutinHouston Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Every bounce today has gone to the Skins.
microscopes Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Flame me all you want but the truth is this defense looks terrible. Absolutely terrible. Over pursuing LBs, defensive line getting holes blasted through it, CB's having issues staying even near WR's, horrible angles, trouble tackling, the list is long. Ugh.
Rockinon Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 I have a theory. Maybe not an accurate theory but one none the less. I'm not hearing anything about exotic blitz packages and such this game. Seems kind of strange because Grossman is pretty easy to rattle. I'm wondering if the coaches are simply not calling them so they can evaluate our horrible corners. Of course, the Skins aren't throwing much. They have been killing us with power sweeps to the outside.
GG Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 I hate preseason broadcasts that take up air time for garbage talk m
