has to be John McCargo. this guy has been getting the majority of his reps against the 2nd and 3rd stringers and he's still pretty ineffective. He has shown me nothing in the first 2 games. This was supposed to be the year he finally makes a difference and I dont see it happening.

I tend to reserve judgement on defensive players until we see what they do in the regular season. Most of the defense right now is down right vanilla.Originally posted by billsburgh

Re: Biggest disappointment so far....
I think conditioning is a big issue with McCargo. He seemed to get a lot of playing time last night, even if it was mostly with the second and third stringers, which hopefully will get him in better shape.
I think he can still be good, but it seems that he is still not real serious about his conditioning.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Re: Biggest disappointment so far....
McCargo is maddeningly inconsistent. reading that Blo news article on him a couple weeks ago broke my spirit on him a bit. he said something like he didn't feel like he had his speed. and i wonder if its because he isn't as good as advertised. Also his weight fine made me nervous. i think it's going to be a long year for McCargo. Yet he'll have one or two games where he can be a difference maker. Hopefully stroud, spencer J. and Schobel get more attention that lets mccargo snake into the backfield.Comment

Re: Biggest disappointment so far....
I reserve judgment until the regular season, they are really not running any stunts or anything they have him holding his ground from what i saw, I would like to see more knifing thru the line but looks like they had him just standing up they may be by designXTRA CRISPY XTRA SAUCEYComment

Re: Biggest disappointment so far....
An ESPN article showed him with Coy Wire this offseason doing those crazy Rocky workouts. Where they run threw rapids while holding tree trunks. So its not like he was sitting around all offseason.Lets Go Buffalo!

Did you happen to see how fat he looked? There was another DT there that looked like he could eat McCargo's fat a--.Originally posted by CAbills"Heck, now I am glad his overrated arce made the pro bowl, else we would have only got a 3rd." ~ yordad

Re: Biggest disappointment so far....
i am really perplexed by the whole situation because at the end of last year, mccargo was blowing up the backfield on a regular basis.. i really really had high expectations for the guy.. i just dont get it.. it definately looked like he was going to take the next step."All hockey players are bilingual.

Re: Biggest disappointment so far....
my thoughts exactly. I still find it hard to believe that Kyle Williams is starting ahead of him. no disrespect to Williams, but a 1st rounder that they traded up for should logically be starting over a 5th rounder.Originally posted by TatonkaComment

Re: Biggest disappointment so far....
At first I thought Williams was starting next to Stroud just as a position issue- 1 gap vs 3 gap, etc. But now it seems like it may actually be performance based.Originally posted by billsburgh
Supposedly McCargo gained some weight, which can be a good thing for a DT. But maybe it slowed him down to much. Not every DT can play effectively at 3 bills.Comment

Funny. Most the other players were making plays despite the "vanilla" plays.Originally posted by EbenezerComment

Re: Biggest disappointment so far....
I thought that they were getting away from that this season, the 1 gap vs 3 gap, now that they have stroud. So yeah, its seems like it's performance basedOriginally posted by OpIv37Comment
