John from Riverside Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 And the Ravens have a good defense He was agile, agressive, and looking to finish. I know it is just one preseason game.....but gotta call it like I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I really hope that Maybin justifies us picking him so high. The jury is out and the burden of proving it was a good pick is on Maybin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 yeah....not suprising to put a rook at RT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jax bill backer Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Can somebody give there honest opinion and tell me whether maybin is going to play DE or LB.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBeane Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Well I believe it was Fewell (may have been Dickie) say they are looking to use him at both LB and DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoner7 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 We have plenty of LBs capable of beating out Ellison. We dont have any DEs to sack the QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 Why does it need to be said ? Just for the simple fact that we did in fact pass on Oher.......had just traded away our Left Tackle......and the reasoning we did that (including mine) was that taking Oher would be taking the 3rd or 4th best at the position instead of having our pick of the DE's. I was not against the Maybin pick.....but he isn't here....and right up until he had to go to the locker room Oher was piledriving BALTIMORE STARTING DEFENSIVE PLAYERS.....and starting at RT right out the gate. And while I hope Maybin comes in and shows us what a pass rush really looks like......we could have had Oher, Wood, AND Everette Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 And while I hope Maybin comes in and shows us what a pass rush really looks like......we could have had Oher, Wood, AND Everette Brown Honestly what is the fascination with Everette Brown? The guy fell harder than a 1 ton weight off a cliff in the draft. It's almost like people think the rest of the GMs in the NFL were in cahoots to play a cruel joke on the Bills and their fans by passing on him once (some even twice) just so the Bills could pass on the guy and we could all regret it for the rest of our lives.

I was cool with Maybin instead of Brown.......but Brown is in camp and Maybin is not. It isn't even to say that Brown is better then Maybin....only that you could have gotten a lot of value with Oher (provided he keeps this up), Wood (who we all love), and Brown (who is also a pretty good pass rusher) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsVet Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I think the Bills front office would have been severely criticized had they selected an OT in round 1. You cannot replace departed free agents and in this case traded players with your first round pick every year and get ahead. I like the Maybin pick too, as it represents the team looking long term and not just for DJ's make or break season. No one should expect even when AM appears that he'll collect 10+ sacks, but hopefully in the future. At the same time, I'm concerned about the depth at OT on this team. And while I can't comment on Oher, I won't fault the front office for not selecting him. He has some motivation issues and isn't as consistent as some wanted. Besides, the pass rush needed an infusion of talent, and no one on the team could flash the physical skills Maybin offers. Whether he takes that ability and translates that onto the field is another matter. I figured a deal would be complete by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
