DDD Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 McCargo was inactive for the game, a healthy scratch which is a HUGE red flag. Not good for a 1st rounder in his 3rd season. Can you asy Mike Williams? Fortunately, Stroud looks to be a great addition who had a huge game today. I also liked Spencer Johnson. I didn't realize he was so big and looks to be a very solid rotational DT. I give Jauron props...he will play the best players regardless of draft position.
nobody Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 I guess the rumor that he is on the trade block may increase now.
Max Fischer Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 I guess the rumor that he is on the trade block may increase now. For who/what? I still think McCargo can be a very good player and hope they get a near starter in return. I guess we need another LB but they looked awful good today. Would rather have an upgrade at Center.
lets_go_bills Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Not yet. I still wanna give him a chance. He showed flashes of brilliance last year. We invested a first round pick in him. I really wanted to see him work next to Stroud. I'm disappointed he didn't play. Nothing against Johnson and Williams though, they played well.
d_wag Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 i expect to see him back in the rotation next week with the heat and humidity of JAX
Chandler#81 Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 To the thread's initial question: Yes, I think the verdict is in and he's a bust. 1st round pick a healthy scratch to open year three? This new defense plays hungry, and that's not a word anyone has applied to McCargo's play. I too, saw big moments from him last year so he'll be back up strength. When's the last time the Bills deactivated a healthy DL?
Typical TBD Guy Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Have all you football experts given up on McCargo just like you gave up on Youboty a month ago? All it takes is ONE FREAKING INJURY to any of our DT's for McCargo to be back in the regular rotation. By the way, I have yet to see any solid confirmation of these McCargo trade rumors.
VOR Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Seems like the coaches think he is, but without him playing, you can't say for sure. They thought that Jason Webster was a better CB than Greer last year. The same goes for Jackson as a backup versus Thomas.

JStranger76 Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 I'm not a McCargo basher, and believe we'll need him this week in the Florida heat and quite a few more occasions before the season is over. However, it completely baffles me when I hear the "flashes of brilliance" and the word "dominating" to describe his play. All I've seen is a quick first step and burst when he is UNBLOCKED. He may have led the team in tackles for loss but not one of them did he physically beat his man with a nice move, pure power, or any move for that matter. Like I said, we're gonna need him in Jax this week and later on against heavy run teams but someone let me know the first time he blows up an offensive lineman across from him because I haven't seen it happen yet.
marauderswr80 Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 With the way Williams & Johnson played yesterday.......seriously whos John McCargo......
drg2021 Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 With the way Williams & Johnson played yesterday.......seriously whos John McCargo...... Hes a lazy,Mike Williams kinda guy thats about to be a free agent
Kelly the Dog Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 He was inactive because Bryan and Denney play special teams and he doesn't. I expect him to be in there next week, too, because of the heat. But we have to be happy with the play of Spencer Johnson, which I expected, and Kyle Williams, which I didn't. Williams was pushing back OL at times like I have never seen before. Maybe the coaches were right about him.

bills_red Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 I craped my pants wen i got the text that cargo was inactive. only havning 3 dt worried me a bit. next week hw should be active cuz jags can run it
4BillsintheBurgh Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Not yet, but he's circling the drain. He also clearly know's where he stands with regards to the rest of the DT's, just in case he thought being a 1st round pick was going to help him.
Kelly the Dog Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Imagine that a Coach knows more then Message Board posters. Amazing!!!!!!!!! Well, they were very wrong about Kyle Williams for two years before this one. They were wrong about Tripplet. They were wrong about Tim Anderson.

McCargo is rounding third and heading for home. But you have to look at your batting average. No team is immune from bad picks. The question is do you hit more home runs than whiffs? If McCargo is your only turd in the last three seasons, we're doing pretty damn good. And please don't cry the blues because we traded up into the first round for him. In the end it doesn't matter how you acquire a player. Would you complain if your 1st rounder is a bust and every player after makes the Pro Bowl? PTR
