VABills Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Uh, simpson nearly KILLED maroney on more than one run play. Better check the tape. In Cover Two, the safeties aren't supposed to be up in run suport. 768175[/snapback] Umm.. It's hard not to tackle the guy when he is 7-10 yards down field. I am saying they were not used to fill gaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact on his first play he came up and got in on the tackle on a 2 or three yard stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills#23Iowa Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 8 Tackles,(4 solo, 4 ast) 1 int for a rookie saftey, in his first game. I will take that any Sunday Whitner is the Future!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will take that any Sunday Whitner is the Future!!!!! 768189[/snapback] I'm not saying that he is the next Ronnie Lott or played like it today but anybody who nickpicks on a few plays given up and actually made a play that should have won the game is just looking under a microscope. I can see if he and Koy were giving up big play after play; they held Brady to under 200 yards and under %50 completion and weren't the victims of his 2 TD passes. And as far as those crying about run support they were playing 2 deep coverage and the front 7 didn't stop the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 On the road, against arguably the best QB in football, with good TEs, in the first game of their careers, with all new schemes and coaches for everyone, not expecting to play much for the most part, those two guys did not at all get worked. They played very well. 2-3 plays to the best receivers on the team in the entire game? Gimme a break. Not to mention that Whitner's interception could have won them the game.

Ray Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 The two rookies played great--especially against the best QB in the league. Also one of the best TEs in the league. That, my friends is encouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadBuffaloDisease Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Forgive VA. He has his pre-conceived notions, many of which are/were gotten through a scout friend of his, that he'll go to the grave trying to defend. And it's a LOT harder to overcome injuries in-game than prior to a game, when you can prepare for them. The fact that the FIVE rookies who played most of the game were able to help keep the game so close is a testament to their potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in STL Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I'll agree with the non factor in run game but Brady only completed 11 passes and at no point got into a passing rhythm; I can see if Brady was picking us apart with efficecny. I mean he throw a pick in the 4th quarter by Whitner that if it wasn't for questionable block and play stoppage, he'd be on ESPN right now and all those guys would be saying what a genius pick by Marv. If our run D was more discipline and stayed in their lanes and our offense didn't become conservative, there is no way we lose this game. I mean for their first action they played very well; you can't expect them to be Pro Bowlers right out the gate. 768088[/snapback] Good points. These rookies held up fine and when the defense starts playing more team defense they will be very solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is either a compliment to Simpon's speed and play making ability, or it is a good interpretation of how our defensive line and linebackers played.

Fan in San Diego Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Did Youboty get any playing time ? I missed large chunks of the game today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HudsonValleyBillsFan Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Correct me if im wrong .. but didnt whitner have a big run stuffing tackle? It was nice to see Witner get the pick. But overall they got worked by the TE's and were a non-factor in run support. Overall they looked like rookies and have a long way to go. 767842[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
