BuffaloBilliever Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I've been hearing a lot about this guy in the past few weeks of camp. I was excited when they picked him up in the draft, and he's an incredible specimen with his speed and height. He was ranked higher than Donte, and I think he's proved himself slightly better. Anyone agree here? I believe he deserves to at leas tbe above Rashad on the depth-chart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Rashad is pretty good, too, and will likely make the team, and may even play before Ko does. Simpson went for an INT last week instead of breaking up the pass, missed it, and the Bengal went for about 60 yards down the middle of the field. I am not sure he is ready but he really looks like a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCinBuffalo Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I dunno - I see the college films, I see the preseason and camp films, and I gotta think we need to get him on the field. Ball hawks are what they are: it's like speed you have it or you don't. And there is no doubt KO is a ball hawk. Vincent keeps getting, and staying, blocked on running plays. It seems he is always there to touch tackle the other team's receiver on the ground after the ball has been caught. Like I said - I dunno, have to see a real game - but I think getting KO significant playing time this year can only help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawgg Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 This is a young team. Ko is an up and coming player. He SHOULD be on the field starting in place of Troy Vincent. Hopefully the coaches realize it and he's in the starting lineup after the bye week.

ajzepp Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 It's only a matter of time....the Ko Simpson era of dominance is coming soon....I have forseen it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeOiler Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 He was ranked higher than Donte. 751915[/snapback] i like what i've seen/heard about Ko, and am excited he can be a good one. But, RANKED HIGHER THAN DANTE??? I don't think that is true...who ranked Ko higher than whitner? Top 10 pick vs. 3rd round pick. I find that hard to billeive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasper13 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 It's strange to see a player in a Bills jersey running around with "Simpson" on his back. Will be even stranger when they wear the throwbacks. I have been calling him Ko-J. Unfair as it may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckeyeBill Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 It doesn't make sense to compare Ko Simpson with Donte Whitner. But they are sure to accomodate each other for the next 10 years. If Youboty can catch up, the Bills will have a dominant secondary in only a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cantankerous Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Ko was a 4th rounder wasn't he? And c'mon...he should not start over Troy Vincent...that is rediculous to say. I'd rather have him learn more and ease him onto the field rather than throwing him in there because he's younger and a "ball hawk" Vincent isn't done yet people! He's got one more year in him!

However, I think we should get him on the field any way we can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 It will be interesting to see if they activate him early on. He's looked good on special teams, too. But I still think Baker is ahead of him. And they are not likely to activate three FS in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it allow us to dress Ko and let him learn on the field and keep someone like Leonhard as a swing S and/or special teamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Vincent isn't done yet people! He's got one more year in him! 751996[/snapback] Some brilliant posting going on at the Range. Has Troy Vincent Ever Met a Tackle He Couldn't Avoid or Miss? Perhaps when Troy Vincent was younger and in his Pro Bowl days in Philly he initiated contact, but since coming to Buffalo he avoids contact with the ball carrier except, of course, if the ball carrier is wearing a bright red jersey -- READ S-T-O-P -- and is his own team's rookie QB carrying the ball in practice. Troy Vincent is done. Cut him now, save the salary cap room and let the yonger safeties develop with more playing time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
