The Big Cat Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Aaron Maybin. Guy looked like he wanted it out there. He was commanding double teams. A line with Maybin opposite Schobel with Stroud in between should minimize our third down defensive woes.

A line with Maybin opposite Schobel with Stroud in between should minimize our third down defensive woes. He did look good for his first game. But the middle of the field is so weak in pass defense, I can't see it mattering.
bigbillsfan12 Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 he looked good because he is going on instinct, he hasn't spent enough time with this coaching staff to have become tainted, YET.
joey greco Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 If they don't tighten up the zones it doesn't matter. But he was a lone bright spot on the first teams.
sven233 Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Add McKelvin and Moorman to that list... Then, I think the list is done......
VJ91 Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 he looked good because he is going on instinct, he hasn't spent enough time with this coaching staff to have become tainted, YET. No kidding. I'm sure Perry is breaking down the kids' plays on his laptop on the plane ride home, and will spend all day tomorrow in the film room going over Maybins' many missed asignments mis-reads of schemes. By the Detroit game Thursday night, Maybin will be much more worried about learning Fewell's playbook that I'm sure he will slow down and be just as passive as the rest of Fewell's defenders are.
McBeane Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 He did look good for his first game. But the middle of the field is so weak in pass defense, I can't see it mattering. Exactly. He played with heart (one of a few on the Bills roster) and made a couple plays and had a couple additional pressures on the QB. If he can keep improving and working, he could be a stud. But yes, our pass defense has looked very sub-par so far this preseason and doesn't hold much promise for the regular season.
silvermike Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 The Bills defense isn't good, but they're not terrible, either. They play a frustrating bend-but-don't-break style, but they only gave up 10 points on the day. They forced a fumble and sacked Roethlisberger, only really giving it up on one drive. It's the offense that's jaw-droppingly awful - and imagine how much better the defense would be if they could spend a few minutes off the field.

The defense is the least of my concerns, though it hasn't been stellar. Our offense is so pathetic right now, it wouldn't matter if we had the steel curtain! Our defense is good enough to win most games, but they'll have to pitch damn near a shut-out every week since we can't score ANY points.......
Bufcomments Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 No serious injuries Maybin got a sack Anybody who taped this game and re-watches it is a better fan than me lol
Mark Vader Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Maybin looked good. Give the defense credit for only giving up 1 TD.

If they could manage a couple 3 and outs they might not be on the field so long.
silvermike Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 If they could manage a couple 3 and outs they might not be on the field so long. Yeah, I didn't say they were good.
IMzeke Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Maybin was definitely a breath of fresh air because, as someone else already stated... He played with instinct and passion for the game. How long will that be tolerated?
jad1 Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Maybin was definitely a breath of fresh air because, as someone else already stated... He played with instinct and passion for the game. How long will that be tolerated? When Schobel gets back, he can teach Maybin how to swing his rush out real wide, then he will fit into the Bills defensive scheme.

DanInUticaTampa Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 maybe TO can take our offense from being really bad to just plain bad!
Tcali Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 When Schobel gets back, he can teach Maybin how to swing his rush out real wide, then he will fit into the Bills defensive scheme. that way during the play he can grab a gatorade from the sideline
jad1 Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 that way during the play he can grab a gatorade from the sideline Might as well, the DBs are dropping back so far they can grab a hotdog from the end zone.
