There is really no telling how much a guy like Davis is trying in these glorified scrimmages. I think this is the reality. Sure he might not have the wheels to keep up with Ross. Who does ? He made some mental errors was my concern. But Dalton and the Offense were really giving Bills the business !! Their Defense as well. I hope that was a game more about taking a look some situations more than trying to dominate any one. Because there is plenty of bad tape to review this week with nearly everyone. #@%$ Edited August 27, 2018 by 3rdand12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Bills Today: Right CB Battle Continues 1 – Right CB battle continues As the fourth and final preseason game of the 2018 season approaches, the Bills have yet to name a starting quarterback, but the battle at the right cornerback position may be just as intriguing. In Sunday’s game with Cincinnati, Phillip Gaines was rotated in with the first team defense with veteran cornerback Vontae Davis, and Bills head coach Sean McDermott emphasized that the battle at that position will continue for at least a few more days. “I think the good part is that Phillip Gaines and Vontae [Davis] both did some good things in the game,” said McDermott. “There are some areas where they can both improve just like the rest of our football team.” McDermott believes that the competition is good for the overall growth of the team but notes that a competition this late in the preseason is not always beneficial. “There is some good to that [competition], that they are pushing each other; and there are some other areas where we say ‘Hey, we have got to play better at that position for us to be a good defense,’” he said.

He's old and slow and broken and done. We will once again use our 1st round pick on CB next year. That wouldn’t be needed if we didn’t trade Darby. It’s a hole because the FO made it a hole. That’s the most frustrating part about all of this. I don’t get the blinders by some fans, saying “we don’t have any talent on the roster.” Or “you can’t fix everything at once” It’s all true, but it’s also largely self created.

Meazy26 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 If Phillip Gaines is threatening your job, we’re in big trouble at #2 CB... Looks like VD robbed us of a quick 5 mil smh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ittakestime Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Like I said in the Vontae is a Bill thread from when he signed, it was a terrible deal. He should have been given a lot less money. Another bone headed money by Beane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the moves to trade away talent for picks in 2017 were in effort to stock the cupboard in order to ensure absolutely that we could trade up and get a QB in the 2018 draft. And frankly, I cant disagree with them since if there is one thing we know, it's easier to find a CB than franchise QB. So for that, I cant blame the FO too badly. But yes, it is a hole they created. IMO, with the drought monkey off our backs, Im fine taking a year now to reset and rebuild. But dang, Davis's play has really dropped off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His body is done - this was a poor signing and even worse strategy (they have almost no Plan B). The Bills plan B is to make there plan A work.

SouthNYfan Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 They've got to be concerned about Vontae - he seems totally out of gas. I'm pretty sure that just being out of gas would be an improvement. He looks like the car is completely totaled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is really no telling how much a guy like Davis is trying in these glorified scrimmages. McD is a stickler for effort. He expects it all the time. At practice, on the field. If it's a lack of effort, he would have been cut. He's just slow and acclimating to this defense. I hope the Pats CB we picked up is better.
