McCargo taking switch to end in stride

[justasportsfan]

John McCargo, Buffalo’s second first round pick (26th overall) in the 2006 NFL Draft, will now be one of the edge linemen in George Edwards’ new defensive scheme. For the 6’2”, 307-pound McCargo, this is his first time ever playing the defensive end position.

“It’s been challenging, but it’s kind of what was expected. I’ve never played end before, so I’m going into it trying to do something totally new,” McCargo said. “I’m taking it a day at a time, just trying to learn and do the techniques that my coaches want me to do because it’s totally different. (But) nothing I can’t handle.”

I think his skill set is fairly well-suited to be a 3-4 DE...maybe we can salvage something out of him.

It would be nice to get something out of him. Let's hope he can find a comfort at end.

I think he's a no-talent assclown that should be on indys roster

Re: McCargo taking switch to end in stride

every year with the mccargo stories at the beginning of the year...and by midseason he'll be out of a job. He's not the guy to bank on turning it all around.

He won't beat out Johnson or Carrington. Where does that leave him?

Re: McCargo taking switch to end in stride

I completely forgot that he was still part of team until today

Re: McCargo taking switch to end in stride

he will move from DT (the middle) to DE (outside) to EB (end of the bench) to.... the UFL

If he shows ANYTHING at all, it will leave him as a rotational guy.

Re: McCargo taking switch to end in stride

How was Indy able to get away with supposedly flunking him on a standard physical when the Bills passed him?

Then again, it was the days of Club Jauron and the team didn't exactly have much of a passion for anything-- even filing grievances.

Re: McCargo taking switch to end in stride

I am a little confused by this article...McCargo couldn't get on the field at the position he's played forever...how the **** is he going to switch positions, and somehow shine bright enough to get on the field?

This is a bust of Flowers/Williams proportions. Let's just ****ing dump this dude already.

Re: McCargo taking switch to end in stride

Just think...we SHOULD have had Nick Mangold instead...

ugh.

Re: McCargo taking switch to end in stride

Oh God. He's played DT all his career and still sucked at it. Now he's going to learn a new position?

Good luck making the roster.

3-4 DEs are basically the equivalent of 4-3 DTs. There's not much of a learning curve.
