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)."Misguided political correctness tethers our intellects."

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.Last edited by psubills62; 08-30-2009, 12:34 AM."Misguided political correctness tethers our intellects."

Re: Aaron Maybin
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.

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.Originally posted by mysticsotoLecter is right in everything he said.

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.
