McGee-How did he do?

[cale]

It didn't seem like he was tested much. Anybody have a feel for how well or badly he did in the game?

 

 

Thanks

None of the really bad TD's the player he was covering got in previous games (though many times I think that the mistake was a failure of coordination between him and the safety as it was their application of the Cover 2 scheme which did not work. He should not have released the streaking WR to a safety who was not in a position to cover deep, but likewise the main fault may have been that the safety should have been in position to cover deep. In any case, they are rookies and he is the vet so he should have made better plays),

 

Farve did log a lot of yard passing and this was to WRs for whom both McGee and Clements had coverage, but what actually happens makes a real difference and in particular Clements made the critical play at the right time in the redzone and they did not score from our 1 to tie it at 17.

 

Overall, though the critical contribution from McGee was not his CB play but his KR play. He contributed a great deal to the Bills and got us off on the right foot with hid initial return and folks would be foolish to overlook his return contribution to the team even with some not very good to bad coverage work on his part.

 

It was a very good day for McGee as we won, his KR work contributed to this win big time and his CB work was not a big problem for us at worst.

 

If one chooses to ignore reality and focus only on his CB work it was better but still not good enough for someone manning our #2 role at CB.
