Got_Wood Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 It's starting to look like: FS: Byrd SS: Harris (or is it Wilson?) LCB: McGee RCB: Florence The safety spot is scary. The corners don't scare me at all. Actually I think Florence is a better corner than McKelvin.
bizell Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 is that Harris as in Nic Harris? I seriously doubt we'd use him at safety.
K-Gun10 Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Wilson will start but yes byrd wilson mcgee and drayton
Got_Wood Posted September 30, 2009 Author Posted September 30, 2009 is that Harris as in Nic Harris? I seriously doubt we'd use him at safety. I'm reading rumors that he'll actually play a lot at safety this week. He's been practicing there the last couple days I guess.
kasper13 Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Charlie Romes, Mario Clark, Tony Greene and Steve Freeman. Oh wait...that was 1978. I think I may have a concussion.
DonInBuffalo Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 having Harris take reps at safety tells me they pretty much don't want to put Wending on the field on defense, period.

Yeah, it's been announce he been moved back to safety for at least this week. He's going to look like a monster back there. Ted Ginn will probably pee his pants.

BillsVet Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 Yeah, it's been announce he been moved back to safety for at least this week. He's going to look like a monster back there. Ted Ginn will probably pee his pants. There's a reason Harris was moved to LB in the pros. And it's got nothing to do with his size, but rather his lack of speed. Harris as safety at combine He ran a 4.85 40 at the combine. I don't know of many DB's that run that slow and play the position, even if they're in the box. Harris may play close to the LOS, but he's an absolute liability in coverage.
Arkady Renko Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 Wait have the Bills released anyone for Marshawn?
Thoner7 Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 I love JW on STs. On the defense, not so much. He would probably bite on every play action. That would be Kelsay. But I love that we are getting a hard hitting playmaker on the field, this team needs more of that. Scott is good and I like him because he makes plays. But as far as speed goes I dont think Harris is any slower than Scoot. 40 times maybe, but in pads no. Maybe Ellison will get hurt soon and Harris can play LB. If thats what it takes to get the ballers on teh field than I hate to say it but I want some injuries. Hell it took injuries to get Dick to play Freddie, Greer, McKelvin, Corner, S. Johnson, Florence........

Harris may play close to the LOS, but he's an absolute liability in coverage. Rodney Harrison Harris is much faster playing football than he is running a 40 yard sprint That is 100% false. He has experience covering great WRs in space in college (guys who are now NFL recievers). He is a rookie yes, but he could in no way possible be worse than Ellison.

He has experience covering great WRs in space in college (guys who are now NFL recievers). He is a rookie yes, but he could in no way possible be worse than Ellison. That wouldn't be from the same source that said, "Langston Walker will be perfectly fine at LT," would it?
DonInBuffalo Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 Wait have the Bills released anyone for Marshawn?Chris Brown mentioned in his blog that they asked the NFL for a 3 day roster exemption for Lynch. That means they'll have to cut somebody on Thursday. I'm guessing Jenkins, since he was the one who was cut the last time they needed a spot.

TheChimp Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 I don't think it really matters who starts at the positions deeper than LB, because any NFL team who's seen the tape on the Bills' first three games won't bother throwing any deeper than New England did and they'll make their QB the Player of the Day. Because our Linebackers can't cover worth a
