Webster near-lock to start

[patmoran2006]

Last night, and I dont remember the exact word for word terminology; but Jauron said that if Webster is healthy he will be "extremely hard" to unseat as the starter this season alongside McGee. again, I dont remember word for word exactly what he said, but trust me his words gave indication that along as he doesnt stay injured, he's starting.

Jabrari Greer took most of the snaps in place of Webster at practice yesterday.

My question is, what the hell is going on with Youboty? I've barely heard his name since camp started.

I was starting to wonder the same thing. Wasn't Youboty considered very raw coming out of Ohio St.? Maybe they want to work him in the nickel package and let him progress from there. We all know he missed significant time last year in camp due to the passing of his mother. And he didn't play all that much last year during the regular season. No doubt the physical tools are in place, but I'm guessing the coaching staff doesn't feel comfortable yet with his mental grasp of the defensive scheme.

Youboty really wasn't all that good at Ohio St.

I was extremely shocked when some people had him as a first round grade. He was very raw, gambled too much and didn't make enough plays. There's a reason he fell to Rd3, like he did. NFL scouts know better than most prognosticators.

Honestly, to think of Youboty as anything more than a Dime CB at this point in time of his career, is expecting too much out of him.

Hopefully he can grow and mature as a player over the next couple years.

I think the fact that he looks like his head is on a 2 foot stick is scary enough. He looks like he is waiting to get his bell rung.

Despite the fact that Webster has missed the last three practices, Jauron indicated the starting right cornerback job is his to lose.
"We're really happy we have Jason Webster," said Jauron. "That to me is a real good signing for us. He's a really good player who started a lot of games in this league. He's a quality guy. Hopefully he will get well fast and be right back out there. I think he's going to be a hard player to unseat."

I think that Webster will turn out to be the biggest steal of the FA period this year. He's looking very good and I definitely agree with Jauron.

Good news on Webster, bad news on Youboty..... let the Daymeion Hughes watch begin.

Re: Webster near-lock to start

I think the big question with Webster is whether he can stay healthy given his injury problems the past few seasons. I just hope the Bills have a viable Plan B.

I don't recall Webster having a first round grade.

Re: Webster near-lock to start

He actually went in round two when he was drafted, higher than Youboty

People doubted the Webster move...lol. From everything I hav ebeen hearing Webster and Evans have each had there fair share of battles for the ball with each winning and losing a few.

Re: Webster near-lock to start

People doubted the Webster move because he has not been able to stay healthy not due to lack of talent. Hopefully he will stay healthy not just in training camp but in preseason and in regular season. All of the talent in the worlld does not help if you can not be on the field.

Re: Webster near-lock to start

At this point, Youboty is our 5th CB, nothing less, nothing more. He's behind Greer as well as Thomas.
Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be a praise of KT and Greer's play, but rather a sign that Youboty is still learning slow. Those who are pulling for him to start anytime soon, may be a little disappointed until further notice.

But did he have a first or a second round grade?

That's what's important.

Was Webster's deal one year or two . . . I don't remember
