Re: Aaron Maybin



It was by far the best part of this game.

Re: Aaron Maybin

he did look fast off the edge. The only problem is the dt need to get a push so the Qb doesn't have all that real estate to step up

Re: Aaron Maybin

Like I've said before, his sack wasn't due to his overpowering athleticism or talent. But it was a well-disciplined play.

Most of our DE's (especially the speed rushers) would have simply ran upfield and ended up ten yards past the QB. Maybin actually tried to spin and hold his edge so Ben didn't have a running lane to get the first down through. It wasn't great, as Maybin didn't disrupt the pocket, but it showed an excellent motor (something I'm SURE the coaches saw and loved in Maybin), and some discipline.

There was that stupid play later in the game, though, where Maybin got double-teamed and ran inside, allowing Roethlisberger to get to the outside and toss that little pass over a LB's head for 15+ yards, unfortunately.

But imo, not bad for a week of practice.

Out of curiosity, I'd love to see how OpIv feels about Maybin now having more sacks than his boy Orakpo (and in 1 game compared to 3 for Orakpo).

Re: Aaron Maybin

Well, stupid computer posted my post twice. So I'll add another thought.

I'm really bummed, though, that the other two young DE's didn't stand out tonight. In fact, I nearly spit out my water when I saw Copeland Bryan whiff on a senior citizen QB in Charlie Batch. You have to wonder if that horrible play right there may have cost Bryan a roster spot. I was really hoping he'd step up in a big way these last two games.

Re: Aaron Maybin

Maybin wouldn't let Starks get his hands on him on that sack. That was great to see. I wish that stupid holdout hadn't happened, because he'd be even further along now.

Re: Aaron Maybin

Maybin played a phenomenal game... might be a bit to early, but i think we may have picked a winner

Re: Aaron Maybin

dude is IP -- instant pass rush.

if schoble is healthy he and maybin will combine to make our pass rush like 2x as productive as last year. that is what this team needs (that and TO catching over a dozen TD passes!)

He's no Orakpo

Being out of market, I couldn't watch the game yesterday and I'll have to catch it when it comes on NFLN at 1 pm today. The ONLY reason I'm subjecting myself to this travesty is to see how Maybin did.

He played well, especially considering he only had a week of practice.

It is only one game and it is a pre-season game at that, but he was a definite bright spot and even did some damage against the Pittsburgh first string.

Re: Aaron Maybin

Its only one game, but it was impressive for a rookie running on 5 practices total. I liked what I saw. Go Bills!

Watch how many times Starks holds him. I remember 1 play in which Maybin got up the field, Big Ben stepped up and Starks horsecollared him. NO Flag. The pass was completed for a nice gain down to the 15 yard line or so. Maybin showed very good speed all night.

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm actually trying to figure out why I am going to watch the game.

It must be because I hate the Bills.

OP, the only positive is that this is the first time since I've been here that people are dealing with reality in the pre-season instead of week #8.

Maybe the fan revolt will make it to OBD and some serious changes will be made.

Re: Aaron Maybin

Maybin is very fast. Chris Brown wasnt lying about that first step. Starks almost HAD to hold him every down he was in because he would beat him out of his stance.
