How Will Coy Wire Do as a Linebacker?

[Meathead]

and please dont name your kid barb

[Meathead]

i totally stole that joke from dave

[kernowboy]

I think this illustrates our lack of depth here. What's up with Ellison or Haggan or even DiGiorgio and their ability to move into the line up?

If Fletcher doesn't resign and it is deemed that TKO is too expensive considering his contribution this could be our No1 priority in the offseason in both Free Agency and the draft

I would not be distressed if we signed two from EJ Henderson (Vikings) Robert Thomas (Raiders), Tommy Polley (Saints) and Matt Wilhelm (Chargers) all cheaper, younger and talented but also spent our R1 on Paul Posluszny or Patrick Willis. This would leave us with depth and cover

Coy Wire will be the downfall of the Defense today. It's going to be ugly

[YardRat]

It will be interesting to see.

Lewis recently plugged in a smallish LB to their line-up (Caleb Miller, 6'3" 220lbs) and he's had 30 tackles while the Bengal defense has held the Saints, Browns, and Ravens to a total of 23 points.

I don't expect Wire to stand out and excel, but hope he plays adequate enough that he's not a glaring negative factor.

[Historian]

He'll do fine.

[jmb1099]

Could be interesting. I voted shaky, but I hope he does well. he seems to have a good nose for the football and has helped lead the special teams unit to excellent play. Like I said I hope he does well, but it makes me a bit nervous.

[Dr. Lecter]

He will be fine. Nothign great, but he will not be the downfall.

[Meathead]

Awesome - Another Jason Peters type gem will be discovered 0 0%
Good - He will play as a solid nfl linebacker Finch1031, Meathead 2 22.22%
Decent - He will be ok but basically no better than a backup fill-in Dr.Lecter 1 11.11%
Shaky - He’ll have his moments but he wont really hold up at the position BILLSROCK1212, casdhf, jmb1099, kernowboy, LtFinFan66 5 55.56%
Awful - Its going to be a disaster, he will be a glaring liability billsburgh 1 11.11%

[Meathead]

more votes *****es

[shelby]

i voted good. i think a lot of people will be surprised.

Billsology, you totally rock my world. Thank you for the autographed Wire pic you sent!:bighug:
:heart:

[Typ0]

I think he will play OK...in fact the reason he is on this team is he's a very good all around football player and probably can play OK at many positions. Unfortunately, OK doesn't cut it in this league and the weakness will be exploited.

[TigerJ]

My prediction is: Shelby will use her power as a mod to learn who voted in an uncomplimentary way regarding Coy Wire and then systematically destroy those zoners.

I didn't vote.

[OpIv37]

he sucks at his normal position and now he's playing out of position.

This has disaster written all over it.

Good idea...:scratch:

[THATHURMANATOR]

again wire didn't start at linebacker. Ellison took 1st team snaps all week. .

[shelby]

Ah well.

[THATHURMANATOR]

Well now he is in because spikes is hurt

[Dozerdog]

He will be OK- I wouldn't want him in there for 12 games though- enough film and teams might expose him

[shelby]

:nervous:

[G. Host]

He is a player who can used by a good DC in rotation against some teams. Against some teams he would be overmatched but so is most of our defense.

[mysticsoto]

Coy Wire will be the downfall of the Defense today. It's going to be ugly

Bump.

Downfall of the defense, ay? How's that crow tasting??? Want some ketchup with that?

[OpIv37]

was it just me, or was wire hardly in at LB at all? I only saw him playing LB on a handful of plays.

The Bills got lucky that they were able to get up on the Jets and force them to pass- that allowed them to play nickel most of the day.

Did he play at LB at all? Looked like Ellison carried the load which was fine by me.

[mysticsoto]

Yes, he did. I saw him quite a few times...

[Meathead]

they were rotating him in but ellison got significantly more plays it looked like to me

[Dr. Lecter]

He also was in the entire time Spikes was out.

[G. Host]

Bump.

Those who should eat crow the much will never admit it.
