Chilly Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 With our shiny new players, whats Ryan Denney's role on the team now? They seem to really love Chris Kelsay for his strong run stopping abilities, and Aaron Maybin will likely be replacing him on 3rd downs. If Chris Ellis steps it up and turns into a decent pass rusher, he should ideally be replacing Aaron Schobel when he needs a rest. To me, it seems like they want to phase out Denney from the team. - Aaron Schobel - 3 down DE. - Chris Kelsay - LE for run stopping - Aaron Maybin - replacing Kelsay for more pressure - Ryan Denney - Schobel's replacement for now - Chris Ellis - Future replace

Max997 Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 i see Denney starting and Maybin replacing him on 3rd downs and obvious passing situations i think Kelsay is gone either by trade or most likely cut
Christopher Capolupo Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 DJ's philosophy is rotating Dlineman, fresh guys=better play.
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Chris Kelsay is not a run stopper. Infact he's quite terrible at that. He makes a habit of getting being out of position on off tackle runs, and is weak at the point. He's also not a pass rusher, and should be replaced in the lineup. Denney is better against the run, and that's not really saying much
Big Turk Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 He can come in on obvious passing downs and jump up to bat the balls down...
Lofton80 Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 I imagine he comes in as a fifth lineman and comes off the edge. I think Denny is a good player. Solid not a pass rusher though.

Dr. Trooth Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Denney is the most versitile player on the D line....He is an every down player and he has moved inside many times. Judging from the FACTS (his numbers last season), he had a hell of a season for someone starting 11 only games. The fact that he's a good special teamer, solid citizen, and good team mate only adds to his value. He's un upgrade to Kelsay at LDE... but dropping him there you lose the versitility and ability to spell both ends with no drop off.
