C.Biscuit97 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 6-19-14: MARQUISE GOODWIN ON WGR <9:31> As someone who wanted to keep SJ, if we did, Goodwin would lose out on time. I really like the guy. He's a more complete Roscoe IMO. IF the Bills don't go deep to him once a game, it is bad game planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just playing to his strengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I hope he starts! I like how we plays ( in college)...I haven't seen much of him in the NFL. I love DW as a SS prospect! Not sure if he or Searcy will win the starting job this year because he didn't see the filed last year but it will be a grat TC battle. He's a young guy who can also earn the job over Searcy due to the fact that Searcy is I believe in the last year of his contract so if it is close, that could be the deciding factor. I really like Searcy though. I think this defensive scheme plays to his strengths moreso than the previous 3 (!) he has been under here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt in KC Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I really hope Duke Williams has made the jump. From what I saw, neither he nor Meeks looked at all ready to be on the field in a real game last year, though I think he did come in for a handful of plays. I've heard a lot of people say he's competing for the starting job, but beyond stating the obvious (everyone is competing for playing time at their position), and maybe some encouraging rhetoric forf a young player, I don't see it at all. With the number of DBs on each team, the average length of contracts, and the failure of some players to develop, you just have to keep feeding the DB "funnel" to line up new players.

Matt in KC Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 What did you see? Unfortunately, this isn't my strong suit, remembering the specifics from a single viewing (especially a year after the fact). I remember him being slow to diagnose what was going on and not very strong. I didn't see any "flashes" from either of these rookies (Williams, Meeks). I think a year of NFL training and the inevitable "slowing down of the game" will both help him. I just haven't seen any plays that show those yet. I'm eager to hear reports from training camp and see for myself in preseason. I'm fine with being patient with young players. I just haven't seen him look like he was ready to be even a decent starting DB. That's why I'm surprised at the mentions of him as a starter. That's a big jump!

I actually remember seeing Meeks make some nice breaks on balls in preseason but he just couldn't make the catch. I was higher on Meeks during preseason last year than I was Duke.

He only played 33 defensive snaps all year in the reg season so not much to go on. I actually don't even remember him in there that many times. Meeks played 0 snaps and was on IR most of the year. They both were almost exclusively ST players last year. Are you thinking about their preseason action? I didn't watch that as closely. I am looking forward to seeing DW in TC, as well.

And with all the media "buzz" about Duke stepping up, I haven't heard anything about Meeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with all the media "buzz" about Duke stepping up, I haven't heard anything about Meeks. Yeah. Maybe it's because Meeks missed so much time and is more of a FS and Aaron has that locked down.

Are you thinking about their preseason action? I didn't watch that as closely. I am looking forward to seeing DW in TC, as well. Yes, almost all of my opinion was based on preseason. Since I really don't remember the details well, I print the roster and tally clearly good or bad plays by quarter, using different symbols to track if it was a pass or running play. I then use these to inform my final roster guesses. Let me see if I can find my old sheets.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) @buffalobills The size difference of EJ and Jim was jarring to me ... I have seen Jim in pics look smaller with the illness but just remember how he always looked like such a huge QB on the field back in the day.
