Dorkington Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Those threads are about something actually noteworthy. What's noteworthy about Fitz holding out for a bigger contract, or McKelvin fighting for a starting spot? Nothing other than that they were former starters here. But keep on keeping on. I'll bow out, sorry for distracting.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 This makes sense if they mean #1 Nickel corner- Otherwise everyone in their division just added 10 more plays with double moves outside...
C.Biscuit97 Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 I swear people haven't watched McKelvin the past 2.5 years but he has become a very solid corner corner. He always had great cover skills, he just lacked ball awareness. Under Schwartz in 2014, he had 4 INTs in 10 games before he got hurt. Don't have him return punts and he's a good starter. Good for him.
eball Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Did Donnie Henderson follow McKelvin to Philly? I think that's the guy most responsible for his improved play.

McCkelvin has all the physical talent in the world. I think confidence and awareness are his biggest weaknesses.

I'll bow out, sorry for distracting. Some people are interested in knowing what former Bills are up to. Hell, there's 9 billion pages of fans arguing that Fitz had a great year and deserves starter money. Not to mention he plays/played for a division rival. That's not noteworthy? Sounds more like you had a narrative formed in your own head and ran with it. Edited June 15, 2016 by FireChan
DDD Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 It's amazing how obsessed we are with mediocre former players and coaches here. Wait to Gilmore leaves next year.
bmur66 Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Say what you want about McLovin but he was playing lights out before he broke his ankle. He made some of the most athletic plays I have ever seen. Wish I could find a clip of the interception he made going over the top of the receiver.
I'm Spartacus Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Maybe the Eagles speech pathologist coach has been instrumental in his improvement too....
BarleyNY Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) Interesting. Looks like there's a huge OJ, Karlos, Ben Roethlisberger, Jordan Mills, Muhammad Wilkerson, Fletcher Cox and Art Briles obsession as well.Not to mention a pretty severe obsession with steaks and steakhouses. I swear people haven't watched McKelvin the past 2.5 years but he has become a very solid corner corner. He always had great cover skills, he just lacked ball awareness. Under Schwartz in 2014, he had 4 INTs in 10 games before he got hurt. Don't have him return punts and he's a good starter. Good for him. He's a decent corner. His problem has been more of inconsistentency than anything else. He'd look great on some plays and very much not so great on others. I get that every corner can get beat, but he's not quite put it all together consistiently enough for most to consider him starter material. Its not that he's an Iggles corner, it's that he's their #1 corner that is surprising. Edited June 15, 2016 by BarleyNY

H2o Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Leo as #1 CB will actually make them miss Byron maxwell. The image of burnt toast comes to mind. I really like Leo as a player in general but he has his place and #1 CB ain't it Wait till he is 1 on 1 with Dez or OBJ or Desean Jackson
KD in CA Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 It's amazing how obsessed we are with mediocre former players and coaches here. Mostly because no matter how mediocre they were, there is always some cadre who clings to the notion the player was underappreciated by Bills fans.
hondo in seattle Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Say what you want about McLovin but he was playing lights out before he broke his ankle. He made some of the most athletic plays I have ever seen. Wish I could find a clip of the interception he made going over the top of the receiver. His inability to track the ball early in his career was really frustrating. How many long plays and TDs did he give up despite having near-perfect position? Eventually, though, he became a solid CB. I think some fans probably under-appreciated him the past few years because they couldn't forget some of his mistakes but I was sad to see him go. He'd be an awesome backup to Gilmore and Darby.
John from Riverside Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 I rewatch tivo'd games in the offseason tonight I am watching last years Washington game McKelvin was aweful.....when he wasnt getting burned or giving up touchdowns....he was knocking Darby off of would be tackles
CSBill Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) this points to the Bills depth here, he would not be a starter here . . . probably 3rd best? Maybe 4 with the addition of Seymour? Edited June 16, 2016 by CSBill
Beerball Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 Loved the player, hated some of the plays. Hope he can stay a healthy productive NFL player for a bit longer.
