All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
You guys are funny. You would say the team is dumb for putting Maybin in a position to fail. When there is word they have decided to put him in a position to best utilize his talents they are also dumb....
I assume the second dumb is because this is necessary in the first place. So it's a different angle on the first dumb.
And if Maybin is moved to LB, who are the ends in a three-man line? Schobel and Kelsay???

I think it was obvious that Replacing Ellison was the biggest need, followed by need for pass rush. This would kill two birds with one stone.
I do hear you on Kelsey still being the Starting end though.... Wish Ellis would step up.
But on a three-man line, you need bigger linemen. Unless it's a line of all DTs with Schobel and Maybin as the rushing OLBs, what's the point of a 3-4?

Ah... just run a 5-2.

Thing is I don't tihnk it will be 3-4 all the time though but it will be utilized.

Dick Jauron has said the Bills will mix in some 3-4 looks this year, and I imagine Maybin will play some OLB in those sets.
Exactly... They are not going to use Maybin as a SLB. They are going to use him like DeMarcus Ware or Merriman. Just stand him up on the edge on 3rd down and let him attack.
The most they would do is let him fake a rush and drop off into zone coverage. You wont see Maybin line up over the TE and cover him man to man like a traditional cover 2 LB in a base set.
I hope he's one of those 'tweeners like Terrell Suggs.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
