To think we almost cut Youboty...

[THATHURMANATOR]

What a freaking turn around for this kid!!!

[DaBillzAhDaShiznit]

He has been a pleasant surprise.

It's so cool to see the light turn on for a guy.

Let's hope he plays with as much fire all season.

[Saratoga Slim]

I agree. He's been rock solid. We have a helluva deep secondary.

[hydro]

Very impressed!

[THATHURMANATOR]

This is great because it really gives Mckelvin time to develop without losing confidence.

[THATHURMANATOR]

Greer continues to be solid also.

[billsburgh]

was he ever really in danger of being cut? or was it just in the fan's eyes?

[The King]

Youboty has been huge every time he makes a play I tell Jules that guy was almost selling hotdogs at the stadium.

[THATHURMANATOR]

According to all reports out of 1 Bills drive he was on the chopping blocks but I suppose you could say this about any cut ever made right....

[DaBillzAhDaShiznit]

It's amazing to me that in the span of 12 months, our secondary has gone from

being loaded with questions to being very solid. That doesn't just happen.


Ol' Georgie Catavolos is a master with DB's. One of those unsung heroes, but we are very lucky to have this guy.

[Bulldog]

Youboty has been the unsung hero of the defense for the past two weeks. He made several big plays yesterday to keep the game within reach.

[Dujek]

He's been very impressive so far this season, let's hope he keeps it up.

And King has Youboty going to the Pro Bowl, for anyone interested!


"9. Buffalo (2-0). I never thought I'd be putting the Bills ahead of Indy, San Diego and Jacksonville. But the Bills have a legit defense, and guys like Ashton Youboty and Marcus Stroud are playing Pro Bowl football. Buffalo deserves it."

[don137]

Nate Clements who?!? Wow, this is such a strong secondary.

No, just playing Pro Bowl football but I'll take it. :up:

[ghz in pittsburgh]

McKelvin and Youbody would be our starting CBs in a couple of years or sooner. Both guys have size and speed, unlike the current duo who have speed but no size. But that is if we can sign Youbody to an extension.

[bigbub2352]

I liked Youboty from the beginning and was telling people to be patient we drafted him at 20, that means he is only 23 now, and that is the same age we drafted McKelvin at,
youboty has played like a crazed dog and i am happy to see he is coming into his own, we need to sign him and Greer to extension as well

[Michael82]

It's about damn time. I don't know what it is, but it appears that something finally awoke in him to make him start playing good football again and playing his ass off. :up:

[Wally The Barber]

The fans almost waived Youboty....... the Bills never considered that.

[SquishDaFish]

Good point Slammer

[Michael82]

Sorry but I disagree. If he didn't pick his game up in training camp....he would have been gone, either through a trade or as a camp cut. Hell....even Chris Brown said that he was in the team's doghouse and said that he needed to have a good camp to make the roster, especially when you consider they drafted not 1, but 3 freaking CBs and they also signed a FA.

[justasportsfan]

he was raw coming into the NFL early. He was a project. It was gonna take time for him to develop. He is now living up to the potential .
