McCargo

[OpIv37]

This is what I saw from him in Friday's game:

-he made one good tackle on a running play.
-the fumble/INT was a bit of a "johnny on the spot" play, but I have to give him credit for getting to the spot and having the hands to pull it off.
- there was one play late in the 3rd where he ALMOST pressured the QB.

Other than those three plays, he was largely ineffective. Our DT's got no penetration in the passing game, especially against the first team. McCargo missed that tackle on the QB- it looked like he had him wrapped up but it didn't even slow the guy down.

So far, it looks like McCargo has demonstrated a limited ability to make plays but still struggles to consistently rush the passer.

He's still young and very inexperieinced. Hopefully if he stays healthy, he can continue to improve.

Re: McCargo

From what I saw at the game he looked good. He and Hargrove worked well together and seemed to have a real chemistry. I'm not going to say you're being a bit hard, maybe you just had a different vantage point.

Not what you want to hear about a 1st round pick.

You're right...no learning curve for anyone...ever

Re: McCargo

I thought he looked at least a little above average. He got a pretty good push for the most part.

Re: McCargo

Another great job at observing, Op. And how crappy was Walker again last night?

Doesn't change the fact that 1st round picks are first round picks for a reason. He's not a QB, He's a DT.....rush the passer, stop the run. How much more is there to learn??

There is a learning curve with any and every position

Pozluszny's learning curve doesn't seem to be a problem and he has much more to learn about his position then McCargo has to learn about his. It's 1 full season and 2 full camps of learning the position, even if he didn't play understanding what he needs to do shouldn't be the problem, so all that leaves is instinct.

Not everyone develops as quickly hence the curve.

Yeah, no kidding. Particularly one that you felt you absolutely had to trade up into an area where no one had him on their boards to get him at the cost of another day one pick that may have produced another starter on top of it.

Some of these guys will always ask for patience, three more years, the benefit of the doubt, etc. regardless of how ludicrous it all gets.

These are the same types that keep dating psycho women and the like long after the writing's on the wall after they find out.

Perhaps he'll come around in time for free agency.

Then I'm sure we'll tag him making him one of the highest paid players in the league. After all, our top paid players offer so much now;

Tripplett, Kelsay, Price, Royal, three of the four the highest paid players at their positions ever for the Bills. I mean I just don't know how we'd actually get what little we get w/o those guys.

Langston Walker should be a beast too. The guy looks like he has pegs for legs, or like an orange with a couple of toothpicks stuck into it for legs. Plays like it too.

Ahhh, McNally will fix it. He can get any group of linemen playing like an average group or better. At least that's what we were told four seasons ago when we hired him. Maybe he just needs another five seasons.

On a side note, his pic on TOS looks like he just did five lines of coke and is getting goosed at the instant the pic was taken.
