K-9 Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 The thread title sounds like an ad for cologne or some other type of mens toiletries. GO BILLS!!!
jax bill backer Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 Keith has been better than Mitchell this year.. I think Mitchell needs to go

Thoner7 Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Everyone likes to grade Keith Ellison as inadequate. So what is the solution? Lets bring in Brandon Spoon. Harris, Buggs (before Poz injury), and Bowen (before he was cut) are all better than Ellison IMO. How could any of them possibly be worse? My vote is Harris.

My vote is Harris. This is a completely faceless observation. But you guys are right. Ellison is the sole reason we lost last week.
Thoner7 Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 This is a completely faceless observation. But you guys are right. Ellison is the sole reason we lost last week. Well its hard to put it on one player, but you could say that for the Pats game. If Ellison does not play, we would have won that game. And no I am not only talking about the two TD catches, but the other 12-15 catches he allowed. Ellison also missed 3-4 key tackles vrs the Saints which resulted in 50+ yards of rushing for P. Thomas. People wonder why this team cant make the playoffs, its because those same people view Ellison as a good player. Ellison has been the absolute weakest link in this defense so far this season. Get your eyes off the stat sheet and watch the game for once and you will see what I am talking about. Then again maybe you wont...

So you're saying that your observational opoinion is Mitchell has played better than Ellison so far this year??
Thoner7 Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 So you're saying that your observational opoinion is Mitchell has played better than Ellison so far this year?? Absolutly. There are a couple of ways to be noticed. One is that you make such good plays people notice you. Another is that you are so terrible people notice you. The average guys rarely get noticed because they dont make mistakes but also dont make huge plays. I have not noticed much from Mitchel this season, so he has been average. The entire second half vrs the Saints and NE I get saying "F***ing Ellison again, he s*ucks" as he allowed run after run and catch after catch. Mitchell is a strong side backer and blows up blocks well and turns the RB inside like he is supposed to do. Ellison over pursues or just straight up misses the tackle. He does not blow up blocks but rather is consumed by them which allows the RB to run inside or outside. Mitchel has been better in pass coverage and has gotten pressure on blitzes. You out there seem suprised that I think Mitchel is better than Ellison. What games are you watching that show any different?

buffalobill43 Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 The stat sheet is very misleading ,agree 100% Nice to see some people who know a little about football in this thread. Ellison is a major weakness on defense and Mitchell has played a hell of a lot better. I find it almost unbearable to watch how opposing teams run and pass on Ellison all game long. Granted, he does his best and every now and then makes a big play. But he is way too small and weak for what he is asked to do. The sad part is I don't think we have anyone on our roster who can do a better job at this point. LB was a weakness heading into the season and still is. Now with a depleted secondary it could get ugly.
Cotton Fitzsimmons Posted October 2, 2009 Author Posted October 2, 2009 Hahaha that is beautiful. Yes sir! That's why Ye Ole' is here! A little comic relief!
Cotton Fitzsimmons Posted October 2, 2009 Author Posted October 2, 2009 SOLUTIONS... a new fragrance from Keith Ellison... Keith Ellison has a "fragrance" alright...
John from Riverside Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I dont think anybody is bitching about anybody on defense if our offense could actually score points. Our defense performed very well last week
cantankerous Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Harris, Buggs (before Poz injury), and Bowen (before he was cut) are all better than Ellison IMO. How could any of them possibly be worse? My vote is Harris. Ellison is better than all of those guys, and if you believe otherwise you might just be a fool! Ellison has been playing his ass off.
Cotton Fitzsimmons Posted October 2, 2009 Author Posted October 2, 2009 Ellison is better than all of those guys, and if you believe otherwise you might just be a fool! Ellison has been playing his ass off. The benefit of Brandon Spoon over Keith Ellison, however, is that Spoon is a ST "Ace" Plus, I like to call him Brandon Spoon MAN, cuz that there SPOONMAN is a good jam, and thus a good nickname for Brandon. Now, rumor has it that Jonas Jennings is still floating around on the FA market as well. If we could get Brandon Spoon and Jonas Jennings back in here, we could kick it old school, like an old fool, that's so cool... and party like it's 2k1.
