K-Gun10 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Today Posted By: Chris Brown | Time: 11:43 AM ET | Link MOORMAN, VITI ARRIVE: Punter Brian Moorman and fullback Mike Viti are practicing today after missing the first day of voluntary OTA workouts. Offensive tackle Jason Peters is not in attendance. Quarterback J.P. Losman is not at practice today as he is handling an out of town conmitment. He is expected back some time next week. --- Today Posted By: Chris Brown | Time: 2:30 PM ET | Link JAMES HAD A GOOD DAY: Day two of OTAs for the Bills and Will James made his presence felt. Currently working with the second unit at right cornerback James was decisive and effective in coverage. His best play made have been a lunging pass breakup to defend a comeback route. His veteran presence at corner will be valuable in light of the veterans that have departed the past couple of seasons (Clements, Thomas, Webster). --- Today Posted By: Chris Brown | Time: 2:33 PM ET | Link MCKELVIN'S FIRST TEAM REPS: With Leodis McKelvin getting first team reps at LCB while Terrence McGee operated under a reduced workload, it's obvious how quickly the Bills want to get their top pick's feet wet. And McKelvin did not disappoint. He fared pretty well with the first team defense. It seems the coaches are eager to see just how much he could help right away. http://buffalobills.com/news/news.jsp?news_id=6090 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 with any luck, greer will quickly be demoted to the nickel spot where he's better suited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I find it amusing Brown mentioned the departure of Webster as a veteran presence. The "presence" he provided consisted of training camp and the first quarter of the Bronco game; I sure hope the Bills can recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ans4e64 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 If McKelvin can step in and perform, we'll have a nasty secondary with McGee, McKelvin, Greer and James. At this point, anything from Youboty is gravy and we don't need to depend on him anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 with any luck, greer will quickly be demoted to the nickel spot where he's better suited. As I've been saying since the Bills drfted McKelvin, it will be McGee losing the starting corner job -- not Greer. Note, it was McGee with the reduced role today. Greer really shined last year, IMHO, and McGee can be a great nickle back while also spending more of his energy on returning to the Pro Bowl as a kick returner.

For all we know, this may be the beginning of a McKelvin/James secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 For all we know, this may be the beginning of a McKelvin/James secondary. I could deal with that if it made the team better, but I am pulling for Greer, who is younger than James, to earn that starting spot and really emerge as a star.

I could deal with that if it made the team better, but I am pulling for Greer, who is younger than James, to earn that starting spot and really emerge as a star. Ya gotta pull for Greer. He's a great story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly,if you watched every game this year,you would know Greer is the better corner ,hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Friends Call Me Tebucky Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Greer was better than McGee last year IMO...we'll see if it continues. It's a good problem to have though...3 capable starters, 4 capable nickle backs, and two guys that apparently have untapped potential (Corner, Youboty) hanging around in camp.

generaLee83 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 with any luck, greer will quickly be demoted to the nickel spot where he's better suited. I like your statement but I would throw McGee to the nickel spot, Greer wasn't made to look nearly as bad as McGee was on many occasions last year.
