Another way to keep 6 CBs.....

[yordad]

So, the Bills drafted Byrd for his ball hawking ability. The had all intentions of making his a FS becasue of his tendancy to intercept a good amount of passes.....

So Safety we tentively have:

Whitner
Scott
Byrd
Simpson

At CB

McGee
McKelvin
Florence
Corner
Youboty


What if we tried Lankster at safety. He seems to be a bit of a ball halk as well. Is he too undersized for free safety? That would allow the Bills the ability to cut Simpson, eliminating the weakest link in the entire secondary. And, it would allow them to keep Laskster without another position be a guy short.

Thoughts?

Re: Another way to keep 6 CBs.....

i wouldn't even keep simpson on the safety list. that'd make keeping him as a safety or any of the DB's as a safety much easier.

Simpson isn't the same guy after his leg injury. he's incredibly slow and undisciplined (legally and on the field with his angles to ball carrers).

I think Wilson is the 4th safety ahead of Simpson. He is also better on special teams.

As for CBs, I think we keep 6. McTandem, Corner, Youboty, Lankster, Florence.

I agree. I do not like Simpson on ther Bills. But, unless someone else can play safety, Wendling and Wilson are his only competition. Personally, I like Wilson (I think the Bills have Simpson ahead), but any of three would be a weak link.

Not that the #4 safety sees much playing time, it is just that the Bills have to find room for Lankster, and only 3 safeties would be very risky.

Re: Another way to keep 6 CBs.....

I had been thinking after the draft that Lankster would see some time at FS. He's got speed and he's a ballhawk. But I think if he were going to be counted as depth at FS, he'd have seen some time there at this point.

Honestly, I see them keeping 6 CB's anyway. McGee, McKelvin, Florence, Youboty, Lankster, Corner. Obviously McGee and McKelvin are in. Corner is doing well. Lankster has been playing well every time he's in. Youboty, although he has dealt with a lot of injuries, is good in coverage, an excellent tackler and a decent blitzer. Florence is a decent slot CB with experience.

IMO, it's easy enough to keep 6 CB's.

Re: Another way to keep 6 CBs.....

Cut the two crappiest players in our secondary, Wendling and Simpson, and keep on of the better ones, Lankster. Easy as that. 4 Safeties, 6 CBs.

Give a few FS reps to Youboty if you want.

Re: Another way to keep 6 CBs.....

Jauron will keep 10 in the secondary regardless so there is no need to get all fancy with the positions.

Last two years we kept 5 CB's and 5 S. This year, there's a very good chance we'll go with 6 DB's and 4 S.

Re: Another way to keep 6 CBs.....

We should plan on Youboty going on IR sometime this year. We need to have something in place when that happens.

Re: Another way to keep 6 CBs.....

drop Simpson and move Lankster to safety.

its TOO smart a move for this franchise to make...

But yours would have mentioned a trade to Oakland for Asomugha.

Re: Another way to keep 6 CBs.....

For all I care, Simpson can go join Tim Anderson in the unemployment line. Ko looked like a "millionaire" the other day, eh?
