bizell Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 How are our new guys doing this year? I know Kyle Williams has been doing exceptionally. I know that Whitner has had to start in place of the injured Bowen, and had several tackles... outside of that, I haven't really heard anything about McCargo or anyone else.
nick in* england Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 They all suck and are lucky to avoid being cut.

Zac Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 McCargo hasn't made any big plays but hasn't given up any either. Once he gets more used to the NFL and our scheme i'm sure he'll be able to make better use of his athleticism.
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Anybody hear anything about Youboty? Because I don't think I've heard his name since the draft. Talking to my brother yesterday I actually said that either Eric King would take over for Clements next year or we'd have to bring in somebody new, and he had to remind me that Youboty existed.

In the 1st preseason game, he made a few good plays. It will take a year for him to transform into a good NFL corner back.
PromoTheRobot Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Ko Simpson and Kyle Williams seem to be making the most impressions. Which is not to say the rest have been doing badly. PTR
bizell Posted August 23, 2006 Author Posted August 23, 2006 ahh. about ko simpson.. he was another guy i noticed. he absolutely flies around on run support. i haven't really seen him get a chance to play pass defense but i'm liking him so far.
TigerJ Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 McCargo had a slow start at camp, but Bill Kollar (D-line coach) says he's doing fine. Whitner has been named starter at SS, so the Bills must like him despite his short hold out and having to play catch up. Youboty has turned heads and looks like he's going to be good. Ko Simpson and Kyle Williams have made the biggest initial impressions and are going to make major contributions to the Bills. Butler, Merz and Pennington will be fighting to make the practice squad. Every one of them probably has the potential to develop into an NFL starter, but they are not ready to play yet and Buffalo may not have room on the active roster. Same thing with undrafted rookie receivers Nance and Denney. Neither is without talent and potential, but they are not ready yet to contribute and will probably be competing for one spot on the PS.
drnykterstein Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 well this all leaves me with plenty of optimism for next year. tons of your good db's, mcargo, tripplett.. next year we can upgrade our WR's and offense in general, and then find someone better than kelsay/denney and we'll have a solid team all around. ... though we might need to replace fletcher
Catholic Guilt Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Again I will repost that down here in South Carolina- Ko Simpson is being called the steal of the draft by Gamecocks fans.
nemhoff Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 I know this has absolutely nothing to do with reality, but KO and Whitner are pretty sweet as a tandem on Madden.
