jgb Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Rex Ryan: Percy Harvin wants to moonlight as Bills CB When Percy Harvin signed with the Buffalo Bills in March, he emphasized that he no longer wants to be considered strictly a slot receiver or gadget player. As it turns out, Harvin has more in mind than simply running more routes outside the numbers and down the field. Coach Rex Ryan revealed Friday that Harvin has requested the opportunity to try his hand at cornerback. Ryan is open to the idea, explaining that Harvin will line up at cornerback "from time to time" as an experiment. Harvin's role will be interesting to monitor throughout August. Although he was one of the NFL's best players in the first half of the 2012 season, he has been little more than a tease since. The Buffalo News recently projected Harvin as the No. 3 receiver behind Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods, noting that he has "needed plenty of detailed instruction on how to run routes during the offseason." The Bills want Harvin to handle more than his usual array of screens, slants and jet sweeps, but that's going to be hard to accomplish if he is relegated to the third-receiver role in a run-first offense. Does that leave more time for Harvin to moonlight in the secondary? Although Harvin is an exceptional athlete, it's exceedingly rare for an established veteran to pull of a successful position switch at the highest level of football. In other words, we'll believe it when we see it in regular-season action. The latest Around The NFL Podcast discusses Tom Brady's lawsuit and debates which veteran players are most likely to be cut. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000505423/article/rex-ryan-percy-harvin-will-moonlight-as-bills-cb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 So, Rex acts like he coach anyone into playing corner, but it's all Idzik's fault for not buying Rex the best corners in the league? Sound about right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesr Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 He should try being productive at WR first, before playing another position. Sent from my XT1068 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound about right? I think last year we would have settled for 24th or 25th best secondary talent in the league not 32 and 31 isn't even close.

sourceworx Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 The guy needs to learn how to run routes in order to become a complete WR. So what does Rex do? He tries him out at CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I think it's funny that Rex is taking advice from a part time offensive player who's new to the team and hasn't even proven himself in buffalo. This isn't going to end well. I think Rex trained Sheldon on how to be the dumbest of the dumb "Ryan is open to the idea" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He even criticized Troy Brown of the New England Patriots and Deion Sanders of the Dallas Cowboys, two players who also have played both offense and defense, because their positions as a wide receiver and cornerback didn't require as much contact as the center and linebacker positions that Bednarik played. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1EHius5Y88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really miss them getting quotes from Concrete Charlie about modern players. He was not shy. Destroying Gifford was just a happy little extra.
