Starting at SS for the Bills........

[Guest]

http://www.buffalobills.com is reporting that Coy Wire has won the starting job at SS.

Well deserved! I thought that he was one of the hardest fighting players in pre-season.

Will probably cost us a few big plays...

but that's ok, he should make up for it with his agressive hard play.

That about guarantees that Vinny and the Jets will be throwing on opening day. I hope Coy doesn't give up too many big pass plays!

Jets will not beat us through the air........only on the ground with Martin

At least we have a veteran backup in Jenkins. I guess they aren't planning on being a big factor in the playoffs.

Here is a link to the quotebook where GW and Wire talk a little about the decision.

Jenkins will still get some playing time. My guess is that Jenkins will come in on passing downs. I like Wire's play making ability I just hope that he learned from the huge play he gave up against the Lions.

Hmmm, this worries me. Yeah, Wire had a good offseason, but he is still a rookie. I thought Jenkins did a better job and should be the starter. Besides...isn't it a known statement that the more rookies that you have starting, the worse off you are? Here's the list....

Starting Rookies:
RT Mike Williams
WR Josh Reed
SS Coy Wire
DT Justin Bannan

Backup Rookies:
DE Ryan Denney
CB Jason Bostic
DE Grant Irons

3rd String Rookies:
C/G Mike Pucillo
WR Andre Rone
LB Dominique Stevenson
CB Kevin Thomas

4th String Rookies:
RB Joe Burns

[The_Philster]

I'm with ya on that one, Mikey.
Pucillo is 2nd string though.

I agree its not a great sign for the talent on your team if you are starting a lot of rookies. but if your rookies perform better than the veterans is it not right to start them?

woohooo, another hottie to be on the field all the time!!!!

If your rookies perform better than your veterans you suck.

Has a certain ring to it

i think its obvious that we arn't going to make it to the superbowl this year. i would rather have the rookies get the experience this year and be better next year, when we can make a serious run at it. Wire is a solid player, with a litte playing time he could be a damn good player.

Maybe we drafted the rookies because they have talent....isn't that the point of drafting??
