BN: Maybin to try to change Bills' minds

"It's been very difficult. It's been very frustrating," Maybin said. "A few years ago I probably wouldn't be mature enough to go through a time like this where almost nothing has gone right. As frustrated as you may be as an individual, as tough as things may get for you personally, in the grand scheme of things you're just another piece of the puzzle.

"Being able to grasp that as much as possible and try to understand some of the things that they're trying to do and some of the things that I need to improve on, that's what I try to shift my focus towards."

Maybin acknowledged that he has to get bigger and plans to add 10 to 15 pounds of muscle in the offseason. He also intends to devote more time to film study to get a better grasp of the defense and what is required of him in it.

Good to hear. I hope it works out. He seems like a good kid. It was our fault reaching.

If he does add the weight he has a chance to turn his career around. This guy needs to dedicate himself to football over the offseason. He needs to study other pass rushers and what makes them good.

Adding 15 pounds of muscle mass in one offseason isn't the easiest thing. Well without drugs. 15 pounds can come on but if you're talking straight muscle.

I think the blames goes both ways. Shame on Jauron for drafting him and shame on Maybin for not doing enough physically and mentally to make himself a better player.

I think that is not hard at all for a guy with a 6'4 240 pound frame. He is listed at 250 but that is not real.

Proper eating and a good program he can gain that weight in 4 months.

He doesnt even look 240 to be honest.

When I look at Maybin's play, it looks like he needs to work to understand the concept of leverage and work on his pass rush moves. Compare his play to Moats', who is really only about 10 pounds heavier if I recall.

We hear this every offseason from some jackoff

I would say 240 is fair. In 2009 there is no way he was more than 230 but he added some weight and I think 240 looks right.

Still not enough for an OLB though. He needs the weight in his butt and his legs.

Yeah Moats is only about 10 pounds heavier but he is also 2 inches shorter. So he packs more weight into a smaller frame which makes him more explosive.

Maybin does not have the right height-weight ratio going right now which is why he has trouble out-leveraging and bull rushing.

The kid hit the lottery. He'll be out of football within 3 years. Hope he budgeted those millions to last his lifetime.

True but what else does he have to do? That is his job. He has all day every day to devote to it.
