eSJayDee Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 One of my concerns about losing AW was his great run support. I believe TV was our leading tackler today. One particular play that stood out. Taylor breaks an off-tackle run, Wire (who was unblocked) misses him & despite being blocks by a TE, TV manages to drag him down by the feet. If not for that tackle, it likely would have been a ~70 yd TD run.
John from Riverside Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 I have no doubt Troy will be solid....I just hope he can close on a couple of picks for us..... I think Vincent is a awesome player.....
clayboy54 Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 He will also be one of the guys that can get our team out of the depths of this loss. He is a good man and a good leader.
Fixxxer Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 TV looked great period, be it against the pass or the run. Wire, on the other hand was suspect on the passing game (altough it was expected) but I was suprised to see him taking poor angles against the running game. Either he was late or going on another direction.

I'm not sure if it's a good thing that one of your CB's is a leading tackler. That means the RB's are getting into the secondary and that is definitely NOT a good thing!
Kelly the Dog Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 Several if not most of his tackles were short passes of very little significance completed against him where he was right on the man after the catch and knocked him OB or straight down. That one tackle on the Wire whiff did indeed save a score, however. TV had a very solid first game for the Bills. IMO, it's impossible to imagine that Nate didn't know it was fourth down. In the huddle I can't believe TV or Spikes or Sam Adams or Fletcher or someone wasn't screaming "We need to make one play!"
