My Major Concerns at This Point of the Preseason

[Jan Reimers]

I have a number of worries after almost a month of camp:

1) Peters' holdout. Without him, our O-line will be a mess.

2) Schouman's knee injury. He was beginning to show some real progress as a pass catching TE, and now he might be out for several weeks.

3) Hardy's hamstring. He has missed a lot valuable time, which young WRs really need to develop, and it seems like he might miss even more. Hammies are sometimes real tough to get through.

Crowell's knee. It seems like almost a chronic condition, which might flare up at any time.

Anyone else have additional concerns?

Hardy bothers me. They keep acting like it isn't that big of a deal but obviously it's big enough to the point where he is missing quite a bit of time. They definitely need him once the real season starts.

worried without edwards playing in the 3rd and 4th pre season game that we aren't going to get off to a fast start. And to think we have some winnable games at the front end of that schedule.

-- The secondary is still full of question marks. Who is going to start; who is going to make up nickel and dime packages; who is going to even make the roster? I will say this again: McGee, our only certain starter, is a liability in my opinion. He gives up too much of a cushion and gets absolutely worked by bigger receivers.

ML & his habit of running into things he shouldn't, Trent's knee / local people.

Edwards and the OL.

Im confident about everything else, but if those two aren't good, nothing else will end up mattering.

Do you think Whitner is certain starter?

I'm not tryin to be a jerk, but aren't you contradicting yourself?

I'm absolutely pissed, too. But I say let him rot for as long as he chooses to stay away. He will have no value whatsoever in 3 years, and the Bills will be fine without him.

Otherwise, I agree.

Re: My Major Concerns at This Point of the Preseason

I am concerned with The Peters Situation that will set us back if he doesnt get his fat ass in here,

I am concerned with McCargo's and Williams PLay on the DT front they were regularaly moved out of the way in both preseason games

I am concerned with the play of Will James both preseason games we was picked on

I am concerned with our TE play cause if Royal goes down we are in big trouble, and that is a sad statement, Schouman mite be injury prone, he has a past
I am concerned about Melvin Fowler
I am concerned with the run blocking
I am concerened about the pass rush
I am concerned about the HC being out coached
I am concenred that Ledois McKelvin mite not be the cover CB we thought but could be excellent for us in ST

I am concerned that Edwards is injury prone
I am concerned about Hardy also having stumped his development this year
But that is about it...

Re: My Major Concerns at This Point of the Preseason

MY worry is the calling of the signals by the OC,DC ... throw the ball to set up the run & attack on D.

They have to let these guys play.

Re: My Major Concerns at This Point of the Preseason

Hardy is my biggest concern. WR is one of the hardest positions to transition into the pro's. he was making a ton of mistakes already. everyone is counting on him being a saviour, but i dont think he will have a good rookie season without the reps.

How many top receivers have made an impact their first year lately??

Those are definitely the top 4 issues. The only other thing that gives me somce concern McCargo's seeming lack of development.

Of course. Sorry, I had our glut of corners on the brain when I made that comment.


Another thing that concerns me: our total lack of a decent pass rush since, I don't know, about 1999.
