On Aaron Maybin

[X-Era]

Last week he had a sack and forced fumble vs. the Ravens.

So here's the question:

Does this make us look bad? Like we couldn't use him properly or coach him to use the right technique?

Does this make him look bad? Like he simply wasn't ever that focused or driven to succeed here, and now that he left he turned on the "jets".

What say you?

:sigh:...Another Maybin thread, Really?


When is your next Evans thread cause I can't wait.

[JoeMama]

Maybin got an incredibly ugly coverage sack. And likely won't get many more.

Maybin, as usual, was about 10 yards upfield being thoroughly handled, when Flacco held onto the ball forever and rolled out. As luck would have it, Maybin was able to run up behind him 5-6 seconds after the play started to get the sack/ff.

That type of play won't happen often.

[BillsWin]

It was an ugly play. He's not good.

[zone]

You realize he was cut by the Jets before the season too. Even if he turned out 10 sacks this year it wouldn't make us look bad. Once we cut him and the Jets cut him no other team thought he was worth a crap either.

So the answer is no.

[OpIv37]

It was one play.

Lots of ****ty players have 1 career sack.

Even a blind fly lands on **** sometimes.

[ddaryl]

are we this starved for topics ???

Wake me when he shows he can do anything consistently.

bottom line is no team should be drafting 1 year wonder college sophomores in round #1

What say you?Seriously??? So you've decided that Maybin is now good because he finally made a play? You may want to see if he makes another play before worrying about how it makes the Bills look.

[streetkings01]

Flacco had all day to throw on that play...........he looked as if he couldn't decide if he wanted to scramble or wait for someone to get open. Maybin got a free sack only because Flacco took way too long to make a decision.

[PromoTheRobot]

Remember when Marshawn went all 'beast mode" in the playoffs?

Marshawn Lynch - 35 yds per game average in 2011.

[trapezeus]

so in his 3rd year, he finally got past ralph wilson's sack total of 0. I'm happy without him. he was manhandled on his forced fumble play. especially on a bills defense than can't have people blow their gaps like that, he's a liability. we don't have the talent in our LB core to make up for that.

[Ebenezer]

If Maybin ends up with a real NFL career I'm going to go right back to what I said, and you can look up the post, on draft day - just a few seconds after being drafted the guy was almost crying. He didn't want to be a Bill. He hated being here, didn't want to play here and just took the money and worked out so he stayed in some sort of shape until they cut him.

[justasportsfan]

It made Flacco look bad. Even Ralph could have gotten that sack if Flacco held that ball that long.

[trapezeus]

i stake my bills fandom on the fact maybin won't be anything. the guy is lining up with the body of an over built CB. He is in no man's land to be rushing the QB and he's too slow to keep up with RB and slot receivers. He is a blitz specialist and most teams don't have the luxury to put a guy like that on their team if that guy can't also be on ST.

He's on the jets because the jets are struggling right now.

if i am wrong and Maybin becomes a star in this league, i will buy a tom Brady jersey.

[kingJofNYC]

Brian McKinnie sucks, and yet many of you including the OP were clamoring for his services before the start of the year.

Guy is terribad.

[psubills62]

First, JoeMama is right - it was a coverage sack that took forever.

Second, the Jets succeed more due to the scheme of blitzing than the quality of their blitzers. I'm not terribly concerned.

[justasportsfan]

besides, we won't look like the stupid ones when we sweep the jests.

[trapezeus]

i think we should all get prepared for a big maybin outing against the bills. the bills like nothing more than make studs out of duds. he'll still go on to have a pathetic career.

[DraftBoy]

I believe he's now ahead of Vernon Gholston in career sacks.

[BertSquirtgum]

George Edwards sucks, plain and simple. He wouldn't know what to do with Ray Lewis.

[mayotm]

George Edwards sucks, plain and simple. He wouldn't know what to do with Ray Lewis.Right. George Edwards is the reason that Maybin sucks.

[madness]

Anybody want to guess the down and distance on that play? Maybe 1st and short? :rofl:

[stuckincincy]

TMQ, chiming in on the Bills' 2010 draft - with a reference to Maybin:

..."Buffalo: In April 2009, the Bills entered the draft with an emergency situation at left tackle, and chose no left tackle, but did use their first selection on a nickel linebacker who, even if all went well, would play only on passing downs. The Bills' 2009 offense proceeded to be awful as Buffalo started five different players at left tackle. This April, the Bills entered the draft with an emergency situation at left tackle, and did not choose an offensive lineman until the fifth round.

For a decade, Buffalo has failed to reach the playoffs -- the worst such streak in the AFC -- and in that period drafted horribly, making repeated luxury picks (three first-round running backs in a single decade, for instance) rather than fixing its offensive line."...

I'm constantly amazed at how dumb most NFL owners and coaches are. And how much jack they make for being so dumb.

Like last week. The broadcast PGH-HOU game finished up early, so I got switched, and saw the last 3 minutes or so of the game.

Just about every fan on the planet knows that RB Brian Leonard is a spiffy late-game, 3rd down player. He runs up the middle, he runs draws, he catches screens - hands of glue, like Larry Centers. He can't pop very well to a hole, but if he gets through, he has good moves, leaps over defenders, and if he squares on a defender, he gets low and pounds out extra yards. He has a keen sense for the 1st down marker, and sticks out his paw with the ball when necessary.

So you put in 4 on the line to muck up the holes, and tell a safety/lb/cb whatever to train their beady little eyes on him. It's not as if you have to worry if Leonard is going to run a sweep.

How could it be possible not to realize who was going to get the ball ????

Well - 22 yard screen, 14 yard run. How predictable. There would have been more if the refs called Kelsay's blatant face mask, which would have reduced that 42 yd. fg attempt by 15 yards.

To use a young person's terminology - an "epic fail" by Gailey and Edwards.

What say you?

X-Man. Why are you doing this to me? I already go into a semi-rage everytime I see Brian Orakpo, knowing (like every other rational being in the known Universe) that it was he and not Maybust that should have and should still be donning a Bills uni.

But to answer your question, this play was simply the blind squirrel finally stumbling upon a nut. Flacco had baked a cake and was half way through frosting it when Maybust popped his NFL cherry.

[X-Era]

Wow guys, so much animosity.

The guy never had a sack here in how many years and goes to the Jets and gets a sack and forced fumble. It was one game and he may never get one again but I think it's noteworthy.

Usually the player leaves and ends up being the same or worse than when they were here. Of the top of my head I can't think of one that became better... Pat Williams? Jabari Greer?

[X-Era]

It made Flacco look bad. Even Ralph could have gotten that sack if Flacco held that ball that long.:lol:

I was one of those guys and have admitted to being wrong. Nix and Gailey were right. Good thing I don't get paid to make decisions like that.

Jabari Greer?He made 0 plays while in Buffalo and now has made 1 in NY. If you want to put him in the class of Greer and Williams after that, knock yourself out.

I don't.

[more cowbell]

Kendrick Office also has registered sacks in the NFL record books.

...Just sayin

[BertSquirtgum]

Right. George Edwards is the reason that Maybin sucks.

Did I say that?

I think both Williams & Greer played better in Buffalo than after they left. IMO, Jim Leonhard is the former Bill that has improved most since leaving the Bills.

I thought of him too.
