Coy Wire sucks

[Novacane]

he made so many mistakes tonight.

fell down in coverage once. late in coverage. pass interference when the ball was 5 yards behind the reciever. And this was all against 2nd and 3rd teamers. I hope they have someone better than him at backup safety. He blows

Re: Coy Wire sucks

He certainly has taken his lumps tonight.

Re: Coy Wire sucks

I hope Leonhard makes the team- he looks like a hard nosed guy

Re: Coy Wire sucks

I hope Wire gets cut and Leonhard looked not bad

Re: Coy Wire sucks

If leonhard can play special teams as well as wire, then forget it, wire is gone! I think leohard also was his school's int career leader. The potential certainly is there.

Re: Coy Wire sucks

Wait, but Coy Wire is on pop vending machines, we can't cut him!!

Although I'm sure he can find something to do with his Stanford degree..

Re: Coy Wire sucks

SS is an underrated position and for sure someone better than Coy will be available soon or later...

Re: Coy Wire sucks

It's time for Wire to get demoted even further or outright cut. IMO he has -0- upside. And that's what we need. Just in case someone goes down or for "value" ..... Coy had his chance.... Imagine if we didn't get Milloy and he started all year

Re: Coy Wire sucks

It takes certain natural abilities and instincts to play in the Defensive Backfield which Wire lacks.. LBer and DB spots take totally separate sets of skills to play effectivly.

Coordination, Quick Twitch Ability to adjust on the Fly, these are just a few of the skills that Wire lacks and the major reasons he would never be successful at any DB position.. I just don't understand why the Bills staff didn't see this when they were Scouting this guy and considering trying to transition him from College LBer to NFL DB.

It's not an easy transition to make

Re: Coy Wire sucks

Is it me, or has wire regressed since he broke into the league and started 4 yrs ago?

Re: Coy Wire sucks

I know Prioleau had a bigger cap hit than Wire, but the Bills would have been in much better shape if they had kept Prioleau and dumped Wire. He is a better backup safety and arguably a better ST'er.

Re: Coy Wire sucks

i thought reports out of camp were that wire was looking much better?

if another player beats him out, then so be it... it is a different era of football.. you don't see alot of players that are kept as special teams aces.. althought, if we could find someone that could snap, we wouldnt have to keep just a snapper..

i dont know.. i feel bad for wire, because he tries hard.. but if he cant do it by now.. he never will be able to.

Re: Coy Wire sucks

Many posters here made that point prior to PPs' release.. I bet PP gets alot of Play with the skins in nickle packages this year because of his instictive ball hawking stle of play.

I watched part of the Panthers/Skins game last night and PP didn't seem to miss a beat fitting into their system when he was playing.. another guy that looks like a potential starter is Traveres Tillman down in Miami and Izell Reese looks to be competing for starting time down in Dallas.. These are guys that had experience in the Bills system and look to get play in at least Nickle situations with other squads while Coy may never develope into a NFL caliber DB.

Re: Coy Wire sucks

This seems to be a new NFL disease. These rookies come in and look great in their opening seasons, both Josh Reed and Coy Wire epitomize this. You think, "Wow, if they're makin' plays as rookies I can't wait to see them once they get the system under their belt!"

THEN THE NEXT SEASON THEY UTTERLY SUCK.

What's happening to these fellas? Are they just getting paid and laid and becoming complacent?

Re: Coy Wire sucks

reese, prielous, and tilman were all chumps here.. nothing more than average play from any of them at any point... reese is competing for a starting spot in dallas because they have such horrible depth that he is the best they can do.

none of those guys were a loss.. we can find 10 more journeymen just the same as them if we need to.
