McKelvin almost 100% and ready for OTAs "right now"

[Coach Sal]

I love this kid. I think he's going to be a solid NFL CB for many years, and maybe even an elite one. Love his attitude, too:

I have faith in Mckelivn to develope with some new coaches... who will also smack him upside the head if he plays all loosey goosey with the football on kickoff returns again.

Loosey goosey?

He was trying to make a play, because that is what he does. He is an athlete that didn't want to just go down. Bellicheat instructed his guys "Get the f#$king ball from that kid!"

Special teams genius, Bobby April, should have told Leodis "Listen, if you get a return, go down when you get hit, don't let them hold you up and strip the ball."

That is the difference between a winning/losing culture. Pats* knew that if they wanted to win, they needed the ball, and they were going to do whatever it took to get it, while we didn't realize that they were going to do whatever it took, and that a second year player might not be able to balance the need to protect the ball over the need to make a play.

Not attacking, I just don't blame Leodis for that as much as I blame the coaches.

I am excited to see him back. I hope he develops into the player you think he can be, Sal.

His injury was undervalued.

This defense would've been a lot better in the second half of the season had he been healthy.

Florence would've been a solid nickel, and even after McGee went down Corner could've stayed in his nickel role.

How many times was Corner abused when he was forced to start? He's brutal on the outside.

If he had to sit out 13 out of 16 games, or 82% of the season WHY couldn't one of those games been the New England game?

Just our luck.

I thought it was amusing that in the Atlanta game, his best plays were "Illegal contact downfield," penalties. That way he didn't get burned for a TD, only a 5yd penalty repeat the down....ummm yeah, we would have been a lot better with Leodis in there!!

I think short term Florence is better.

yes.

But with McKelvin we got three good corners.

I know this thread is about McKelvin, but does anyone know what Eric Wood timeframe is gonna be. Obviously OTAs are outta the question, but do the Bills expect him back in time for preseason?

Well hopefully with no more Club Jauron and a new training staff hopefully, all these injuries will subside next season so we can stop playing like the Mets.

how do you know he didn't?

Well, if that did happen then McKelvin should have grown a pair, manned up, and come out and stated publicly that he disobeyed the clear instructions from the sidelines and did his own thing, instead of letting April take the heat.

Good to see Leodis is ready, we'll need him next year!

I think not saying anything would be the best way to go.

A person that lets somebody else take the blame for their failures can never be a real man.
