Griff28 Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Doubly frustrating to see Bills DB's get scorched, while Ross Cockrell makes plays week after week for the Steelers.
Coach Tuesday Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Yup. This was LAST YEAR'S 4th round pick.
TPS Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Yup. This was LAST YEAR'S 4th round pick. Unfortunately being injured during most of the preseason, and Butler's solid play, did him in. Another good pick by Whaley and his crew.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 or Dustin Hopkins kicking FGs for the Redskins, I wonder if he needs a kickoff specialist to help him do his job.
zow2 Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 or Dustin Hopkins kicking FGs for the Redskins, I wonder if he needs a kickoff specialist to help him do his job. Hopkins and Caleb Sturgis were two great college kickers drafted by Bills and Miami. Interesting that both are kicking for different teams now, and successful.
YoloinOhio Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) Cockrell gets scorched aplenty! And a very poor tackler. Still better than McKelvin right now for depth - but he can't cover 1:1... He was drafted for Schwartz D. I wouldn't blame coaching for Cockrell not showing anything here. Henderson is one of the best secondary coaches around. Edited December 21, 2015 by YoloinOhio
The Jokeman Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 or Dustin Hopkins kicking FGs for the Redskins, I wonder if he needs a kickoff specialist to help him do his job. Injuries is what doomed Hopkins, had he stayed healthy there's no doubt he would have beaten out Carpenter. Hopkins and Caleb Sturgis were two great college kickers drafted by Bills and Miami. Interesting that both are kicking for different teams now, and successful. Most kickers never end up with the team they first started with. As it usually takes them a good two or three years to establish themselves.
BuffalothruMyVeins Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Injuries is what doomed Hopkins, had he stayed healthy there's no doubt he would have beaten out Carpenter. Hopkins was drafted to replace Lindell, he got injured right after we cut Lindell, and we brought Carpenter in to replace Hopkins after he had been placed on the IR. Carpenter did so well after his first season that we released Hopkins. I don't know why we didn't keep him as a kickoff specialist. Was that when we cut him and Moorman and brought in Gay and Schmitt?

He was drafted for Schwartz D. I wouldn't blame coaching for Cockrell not showing anything here. Henderson is one of the best secondary coaches around. And yet when Gilmore went down, he did not have the next man up ready for the starting gig. In my book, that is not good. The Bills have too many people overrated and Henderson is one of them.

The Bills have too many people overrated and Henderson is one of them.i don't agree that he's overrated. He took Baccari Rambo off the scrap heap and turned him into a starting caliber, playmaking safety. He turned a raw rookie who looked lost in the preseason and turned him into not only a starter, but one if the best CBs in the league. McKelvin is a guy who had not played football in a calendar year and hadn't played safety since high school, yet Henderson was able to get him ready to play safety and did pretty well in that role. No, McKelvin isn't a good enough CB anymore but I don't put that all on Henderson. We all know who McKelvin is and Henderson was able to make him serviceable for a few years before he got hurt and regressed. You can blame Henderson for mckelvin's play at CB the last two games if you want, and conclude that he's overrated because of that, but I can't get there. Edited December 21, 2015 by YoloinOhio
YoloinOhio Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 How did McCarron do yesterday?aj Mccarron? Good enough to win against a bad team. 192 yards and 1 TD. Hard to tell because Manziel looked good against the same team last week. But he was good enough to not lose, which is all they needed from a backup.
Bill from NYC Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 aj Mccarron? Good enough to win against a bad team. 192 yards and 1 TD. Hard to tell because Manziel looked good against the same team last week. But he was good enough to not lose, which is all they needed from a backup.McCarron played a little better than Cyril Richardson, wouldn't you say? Richardson as you know is not a very good player, but Whaley drafted him 7 picks before McCarron was selected by Cincy. I suppose Guru Whaley didn't see any need for a qb because he was enthralled by EJ Manuel. Who knows, he might still be. The more I think about it, Whaley needs a ticket sitting next to Rex in the next plane out of town.
