POz

[justasportsfan]

Is he still on the team? :idunno:

[Mr. Miyagi]

For a guy with such a cool name he's not showing much on the field.

[THATHURMANATOR]

He does lead the team in tackles at least.

[OpIv37]

I got a brief glimpse of him as Tyler Thigpen beat him to the outside on a scramble. Other than that, I haven't seen him in weeks.

[justasportsfan]

I haven't heard his named called in ages. Lucky for him Dig got injured. As average as Ellison has been, he's been more visible than Poz. H'es hardly ever around the ball anymore.

[hydro]

I agree. I would like to see him make a few game changing plays. Haven't seen anything like that this year.

[BlackMetalNinja]

He was definitely invisible yesterday. The only play I clearly recall him on was the McKelvin INT return, he was kind of blocking out in front of him briefly.

At one point i decided to focus on him. He got thrown on his arse and he guessed wrong in the next play.

He was full of fire when the season started . I'm not sure is Schobel's injury affected his game now that he has to help defend the run instead of being allowed to roam and make plays . :idunno:

[billsburgh]

and I was questioned a few weeks ago for calling him disappointing so far.

[RockStar36]

Poz is going to be fine guys. This is technically his rookie year so he isn't going to be spectacular every week. You might not be hearing his name but in some cases that is a good thing.

[Pinkerton Security]

He made a big stop on 3rd down at some point...cant remember the play exactly, but stymied a guy right near the line. He seems to be a very solid tackler, at the very least.

[bigbub2352]

Technically first year as a starter,
He is taking on alot of blocks cause they run right at Ellison most of the time, he makes alot of tackles but i think mite be better suited to play OLB, and we should be looking for a MLB in the draft, he needs to be able to roam

[THATHURMANATOR]

Poz is what he is. I think we may have put him a little too high on the pedastal. He is a solid player but doesnt look like he will ever be a game changer.

That description fits far too many of our early round draft picks over the last few years.

I believe it's coaching. We could've drafted the best players and our coaches would've made them look average.

[madness]

So this is the flavor of the week?

[BillsWin]

leads the team in tackles. against the Browns he had two just bone crushing tackles.

I didn't watch the KC game, but according to the NFL.com stats...

he had 3 tackles. which by looking at the rest of the team, he is only 1 short of being tied for the most that game.

So, just because he's not picking QBs off every week, doesn't mean we should jump his jock.

Someone made a good point of how when Schobel got injured Poz may not have been able to roam as much to make plays.

Did bashing a benched Losman get old?

[trapezeus]

i think the sentiment of the thread is that we were told that our defense has to be smaller because we want fast attacking style of play. and mitchell, poz and ellison are getting outrun by FB's and QB's. So now we have small slow guys. which is the worst of all scenarios.

it's not just on the LB's. i mean the DL and LB's need some upgrades over the offseason. No doubt.

[mchurchfie]

He's too busy dropping in coverage all of the time.

[billser]

So it seems like our only playmaker on defense is.....McKelvin??

[gr8slayer]

It's not his fault that he's out of place in this defense. Move him outside and you might be looking at a Pro Bowl caliber player.

Ellison has been more visible because he's always overrunning his gap and letting a player spring free.

the gap discipline by the ends and Ellison has been terrible this year.

Of course we run a mostly 1 gap defense, so it shouldn't be hard.

did i mention i really hate the Tampa-2?
