Tolstoy Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 I wasn't able to see the game, but I did notice from the stats that Hardy didn't get a catch. Was he on the field at all? Just wondering.
Steve O Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 I wasn't able to see the game, but I did notice from the stats that Hardy didn't get a catch. Was he on the field at all? Just wondering. Played a little late in the game, nothing of consequence. Ryan Denney has more receptions than Hardy this year.
BuffaloBud Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 I thought I did see him on the field during some mop up time, but his name was not call on the broadcast.
VOR Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Dumb move not playing him when the game was in-hand. And making McCargo inactive and having Stroud play the whole game.
East Brady Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Dumb move not playing him when the game was in-hand. And making McCargo inactive and having Stroud play the whole game. The rookies didn't play at all. We now have a experienced veteran team and rookies are not needed, that's a good thing. As for McCargo, Big Dick stated in his presser that he was inactive because of the Special Teams ability of the other players that were active, it was a numbers thing. Makes sense to me.

Kinda nice we can rely on the vets on this team, and don't need to immediately plug in out draft picks. Just proves our depth (in some areas).
silvermike Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Once we got ahead on the Royal TD, we only passed 3-4 times. That would be Hardy's time in the game.

Heard on one of the post game shows we may be shopping McCargo for a LB...take it for what its worth (not much), don't remember which post game show.
cåblelady Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Once we got ahead on the Royal TD, we only passed 3-4 times. That would be Hardy's time in the game. Hardy lined up wide with Roscoe in the slot on a couple 3rd down plays. Of course, everyone knew Trent was going to throw to Roscoe.
nucci Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Dumb move not playing him when the game was in-hand. And making McCargo inactive and having Stroud play the whole game. Yeah, if they did these things maybe they would have won the game.
Golden Wheels Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 At first I was kind of disappointed that I didn't get the chance to see McKelvin return a kick, then I reminded myself it was because the Seahawks were having to punt so much. Roscoe's 120 yards in punt returns is a new team record.
VOR Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Yeah, if they did these things maybe they would have won the game. Way to completely miss the point.
nucci Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Way to completely miss the point. I got your point. McCargo sat for a reason we are all not sure of. They went with a line-up they thought could win. Getting young players on the field for experience is a bonus and not something coaches plan for.
marauderswr80 Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Good......Means the Jags wont have a game plan for him. I'll take it.
Dwight Drane Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 I saw Hardy in there for about 8-10 snaps, some in the 1st half. He made a nice seal-off on one block, and ran the wrong way on another running play and whiffed on his block allowing a short gain tackle. They didn't even bring him into the Redzone early. At least they didn't need him. McKelvin came in on some dime but that was all I saw of him.
Kelly the Dog Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Once Hardy starts to learn the offense and pro game, I think we're going to be very happy with the overall set of receivers. I still think that Roscoe and Reed are very average as #2 and #3 but could be very dynamic as #3 and #4.
lets_go_bills Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 He was barely in there. But they're keeping his role small until he has a better handle on theplaybook. He'll be starting by mid season, I predict.
kota Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Last year the Bills only activited 3 DT's on gameday. It was Tripplett, Mccargo, and Williams. Jason Jefferson might have been listed as a DT but he played more DE then DT. This year is nothing new. There were only 3 DT's actived and Bryan Copeland was Jason Jefferson this year. He saw some time on the field and he Plays Special Teams. They asked Jauron about Mccargo not being active. He answered it. He stated that Bryan Copeland was actived due to special teams and the Jauron had to decide between Spencer Johnson and John Mccargo. He stated that he thought Spencer deserved it more. I seriously doubt the Bills are going to trade Mccargo. If Stroud, Williams, or Johnson gets hurt and Mccargo is gone who will replace? The answer is nobody. Mccargo is better then any Practice Squad or Free Agent out there. If one of the Defensive Ends gets hurt they have two options. Active Ellis or move Johnson to DE and activate Mccargo. Both options are viable. I like the options and depth the Bills have for their Front 4. The Post game stuff people are hearing is just rumor without any substancial evidence to support it. I also doubt they even considered depth in their discussions.

I also doubt they even considered depth in their discussions. No, I think most games they dressed and activated 4-5 DTs. I just looked at the first five games and only the first of the five did they not activate Tim Anderson. Also, Jefferson played much more at DT than DE (not that he played an overly significant amount).
VOR Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 I got your point. McCargo sat for a reason we are all not sure of. They went with a line-up they thought could win. Getting young players on the field for experience is a bonus and not something coaches plan for. Hardy was active, so why not play him? He should know the playbook so you get him in there and keep things according to the overall plan. And I don't like the plan of activating just 3 DT's. Hopefully that changes with the Jax game.
