r00tabaga Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Can you tell me which teams went undefeated in the pre-season? Breaking news: the pre-season means nothing!!!!! Yes but teams that go 0-4 never make the playoffs so there's that. Was on NFL Network recently.
26CornerBlitz Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 I suspect if they had him rated worst the ratings would be wisdom, not worthless. It's about regular season performance against actual NFL QBs and Receivers.
bobobonators Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) Its certainly not a bad thing; however whats the significance of ranking players playing meaningless football? 24/7 football coverage= paralysis by analysis. Edited September 5, 2017 by bobobonators
JerseyBills Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) Not surprised one bit. He was a stud for a whole year , got injured and is in a perfect scheme to maximize his strengths.. McD has had a keen eye for DB talent especially. Gaines obviously flashed what he looks for in a CB. I said a week ago, him and White are going to be a helluva tandem Edited September 5, 2017 by JerseyBills
Big Turk Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 PFF ranking cornerbacks is something that I seriously question and always have. The scheme for each cornerback with the style of play and the opponents that they cover are too variable to draw even comparisons. Although EJ Gaines does remind me of Josh Norman, who I thought was vastly overrated. Such as the case with Antonio Cromartie who was also overrated due to skiing. Cornerbacks can find the right scheme and do very well and be very successful EJ Gaines maybe one of those guys Corners that excel in zone coverage don't necessarily excel in man to man schemes and vice versa... Schemes can be a huge thing for a lot of positions and a player's success or lack there of in them...we've seen that first hand with the 4-3 to 3-4 scheme switches recently... Players have different responsibilities, different keys, etc in different schemes
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 I haven't seen your prediction. Playoffs? No. I'm hoping for much worse. But.... the caterwauling here among some "fans" is just priceless.
26CornerBlitz Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Its certainly not a bad thing; however whats the significance of ranking players playing meaningless football? 24/7 football coverage= paralysis by analysis. Who are these guys?
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Lol imagine if this guy became a bills wall of famer and the Watkins thing just gets pretty much forgotten
26CornerBlitz Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Lol imagine if this guy became a bills wall of famer and the Watkins thing just gets pretty much forgotten Let's all hope he plays well this season and they re-sign him after his contract expires.
BarleyNY Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Who are these guys? What kid doesn't dream of making the NFL All Preseason Team?
EasternOHBillsFan Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 PFF preseason awards are pretty meaningless. So is talk that Sammy Watkins and Ronald Darby were players we could not live without.
26CornerBlitz Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 So is talk that Sammy Watkins and Ronald Darby were players we could not live without. Good to know your opinion.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 So is talk that Sammy Watkins and Ronald Darby were players we could not live without. Careful. Feelings may be hurt with such harsh opinions.
BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 It's about regular season performance against actual NFL QBs and Receivers.Come on now. He's a preseason superhero.
CountDorkula Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 PFF preseason awards are pretty meaningless. Its all Bills fans have to get excited about. Meaningless "awards" and winning the pre-season.
BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Lol imagine if this guy became a bills wall of famer and the Watkins thing just gets pretty much forgottenImagine winning the LOTTERY without buying a ticket

OhDozeBills Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 I have high hopes for Gaines, seems like he fits well in the system and sometimes that's all it takes for a player to go from average to above average.
Marty McFly Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 McCowns playing. Still I agree. Secondary's been a surprise from what I saw. The entire defense has looked good in the preseason. The offense has looked like a **** show. Yep The final score results mean little but the performance of the players during pre season often times does matter. Right its basically practice with live bullets We won the preseason ... Yea but we lost the offseason Yes but teams that go 0-4 never make the playoffs so there's that. Was on NFL Network recently. bull **** Roota!! Im a Giants fan and we won the superbowl after going 0-4 in the preseason....so if we went 1-3, after extrapolating.......AFC Championship!!! :lol: Corners that excel in zone coverage don't necessarily excel in man to man schemes and vice versa... Schemes can be a huge thing for a lot of positions and a player's success or lack there of in them...we've seen that first hand with the 4-3 to 3-4 scheme switches recently... Players have different responsibilities, different keys, etc in different schemes RELAX Matter! Youre using too much logic round these parts here
Paul Costa Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 No he sucks because we traded Watkins for him 😂😂😂😂 PFF preseason awards are pretty meaningless. I bet Sammy and Darby aren't on there 🤔
