    I am starting to warm up to Webster

    Does anyone have any faith in him? or am I just being too optimistic?

    After reading about him the past few days steadily moving up the depth chart, I started thinking about it.

    If the kid was never in atlanta, and we signed him straight out of his time with san fran, we would all be pretty excited and expect him to be the starter. He was given a large contract because he was considered to be an up and coming player who had yet to reach his potential, but was on his way.

    Is there any chance that atlanta just has awful secondary coaches or a bad defensive scheme? It seems like everyone in their secondary sucks every year, other than Hall, who was a first round pick..

    I don't know. I have high hopes for him. I think we could have a strong nickle back at worst.

    flame away.

      He'll get beat for 1 in the opener and 70 posters will throw him under the bus.

          I actually like the cornerback situation of the Bills. Webster is capable of starting. I think his presence will make Youboty work that much harder. Greer has allegedly put on enough extra muscle to address some of his past shortcomings, And Riley Swanson looks like he could be a depth player. All in all it looks pretty competitive. There's no Nate Clements in the group, but in theory Buffalo doesn't need a Nate Clements with the Tampa 2. All they really need are CBs who can play a zone with some discipline and not get suckered. The real question with this defense, that is not going to be answered for a while yet, is can they stop the run.
          I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

          I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

            Thats very Wysian logic there

            take away part of his career and have a different outlook on him??

            Trust me I saw Webster every Sunday here in Atlanta he was horrendous. He was hurt alot too. I pray he turns it around, he was worse than DeAngelo Falls.

              damn you, DB.. dont make that comparison please.

              i wasnt trying to make it sound like that.. my point was simply that why is it that he looked better and better in san fran.. i mean clearly he looked to be worth a large deal that he got.. why is it that everyone sucks in atlantas secondary.. no matter what, they all just suck? i dont get it.. i mean hall is overrated, and has been since vtech.. but both safeties suck balls too.. i was simply stating.. could it possibly be that the defensive system sucks there or that the secondary coach is just not good?

              clearly for the first 4 years of his career, he looked to be worth the 2nd round pick they spent on him.. why is it he went from good to suck overnight?

                      He did play in a cover 2 defense in San Fran. And IMO seemed to fit much better there. I don't believe that he can go from being a pretty good CB to a piece of ****, that fast. No way.

                        Peeless Price was supposed to be a huge up-and-comer when he went to Atlanta, too. Atlanta seems to have a way of knocking players down. Maybe it has something to do with all the dog fighting going on there. That'll totally mess you up.

                          That's the key right there Mikey. As far as secondary responsibilities, Atlanta liked to bring their safeties up in the box forcing their corners to cover deep. SF played Cover 2 like you said, so the corners had more over the top help. I recall Milloy saying he loved ATL when he signed since he could play in the box more. It looks like even he knew his cover skills were suspect. in Buffalo.

                          Webster's durability should be our only concern, but if he can stay healthy... I see no reason why he wouldn't lock down the starting position if AY isn't ready.

                              Personally, I think he's a scrub.

                              When a team has a young starter under contract, and he's THAT bad that the team uses not one but two draft picks at corner (Chris Houston, David Irons) it shows what they think of his ability.

                              Having said that, I'm willing to give him a chance. It's not the other corners on this team have proven anything. Every now and then, a player goes to a new team, changes his game and becomes productive.

                              But sorry, he has last year's Tutan Reyes and/or Matt Bowens written all over him--- former starters that are just not good enough.
