Before everyone falls victom to the Hype of McGee being the athletic lockdown LCB to compliment Nate Clements at RCB, it may be beneficial to take a look at T-Mac Jets performances a little closer. First Wayne Chrebet ran wild in our secondary leaving McGee in the dust on his way to a team high in receptions and yards recieving.. not by coincidence our same struggling LCB was victomized by Santana Moss with a season breakout game amassing over 150 yds and catching what could've been a game altering TD when McGee fell downfor no apparent reason.
At the outset of the season it was thought that Kevin Thomas might be the backup that was closer to being ready to start at a cornerback position but due to the unfortunate injury to Vincent, McGee got his opporitunity to start. This start came at the same time as McGee was beginning to tear up opposing ST units with a few very impressive returns, with a few being called back on penalties.
Many began to see the Highlight shows giving T. McGee the spotlight for his return abilities and began to yearn for more Pub. The thoughts of T-Mac getting a few picks as the Starting LCB and taking them back to the house led many to annoint him as our Youthful Future at the LCB spot, But after watching his Two Starts against the Jets that may not be the case, and he does not look ready to make the Leap to the starting role, Yet.
TV has practiced a full week and is expected to be available this week against the Pats, Leading to talk and speculation that he may be plugged into the starting FS position if T-Mac appears to have the ability to hold down that LCB for the duration of the season. Vincint at FS, in many peoples opinion would be an upgrade to the Athletisism and Playmaking abilities of our Safety unit and might solidify a Defensive Secondary that has struggled to create Turnovers this year.
Troy Vincent moved to FS, leaving T. McGee to hold down the Corner may look good on paper, but actuality appears to be a move that might still be an Off-Season away.
Izzell Reese retaining his position at FS and Vincent returning to his LCB position will give this Bills Secondary the best chance to be successful with the present state of the team. Allowing T. Mcgee to develope as a Nickle back while polishing his cover abilities, along with being the Pro Bowl caliber performer in the Return game might be the role that mot helps this team to win Games this Season. There's always next year for a smoother transition into the starters position without the liabilities rushing the change could bring.
