Re: Four expected to be candidates for nickel back spot
Bills GM Buddy Nix subscribes to drafting a cornerback every year. This past spring he drafted two, just as he did in 2011. What it’s provided Buffalo’s defense is a solid mix of youth and experience in what looks to be a four-man competition for the top job in the slot.YardRat Wall of Fame

Re: Four expected to be candidates for nickel back spot
I think we keep five cb's..danorris searcey can also play cb which gives a six emergency cb so i see the bills keeping five
Williams GIlmore Brooks Rodgers Mcgee...i think Mckelvin gets cut if he doesnt beat out williams or gilmore for the starting nod
Mckelvin is a bust
i think mcgee will be in nickel spot..unless injured..then i think its rodgersLast edited by bigbub2352; 07-01-2012, 08:52 PM.XTRA CRISPY XTRA SAUCEY

Re: Four expected to be candidates for nickel back spot
I think during games tho if there slot WR is there best WR, Gilmore should cover them. Id rather see him on Welker than anyone elseNot here to be right, just here to have interesting discussions about my impulsive opinions

Not necessarily that they can't move a starter over to cover him, but we saw what he did to A. Williams, and Gilmore doesn't know how crafty he is. This isn't McGee's first rodeo, hell not even McKelvin's, so we'll have to see where it goes from there. I have complete faith in Gilmore and his ability, but maybe we can test him in game #2 against the Pats* rather than game 1. We don't really have a crafty/shifty receiver other than the rookie TJ to practice against... I'd trust McGee over anyone else at this point.Bye Bye Brady...

Actually, TJ is just about the only receiver we have who DOESN'T fit the crafty/shifty thing. Stevie Johnson is 10% about crafty/shifty. Maybe doesn't run the Welker routes but several others do.

Re: Four expected to be candidates for nickel back spot
I like our CBs a lot. I think we keep 6. If anything, McGee might be the odd man out because of injuries.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?

Re: Four expected to be candidates for nickel back spot
I think they'll keep 6 CB's too, but if they only keep 5 I could see Rogers going to the practice and being the first to get called up when there's an injury.
I really don't see McKelvin getting cut. He's our only other veteran besides McGee, he's in his prime, he's still got talent, and he's in his contract year. Nix said himself that he expects McKelvin to have his best year. They've already paid him most of his money so there's really no cap savings by cutting him. Might as well get the best you can from him this season before he moves on somewhere else.

Originally posted by BillsOverDolphins View PostRogers or Brooks, please. McGee needs to retire and McKelvin should try his hand at b/u FS
If you can get some games from McGee, especially if there vs the Patriots, let him play. We should just keep him for when we play teams that have Desean Jacksons, Welkers, Eddie Royal type WRs and not dress him other games, but thatd never happenNot here to be right, just here to have interesting discussions about my impulsive opinions
