And Elam looks like a bad bust.

Basham is playing pretty well.

Yep

Klein is NOT the answer.

Really horrible pass. Get on the horn to find a backup.

I don’t think he will get cut. What is your point?

Elam will be sitting 3rd string.

No, you read that he is not proven enough to not have to win a job. That’s diff than he should be cut.

Good gad Barkley.

3/5 of the starting OL can’t even block Steelers 2nd team.

You are right. They need to trade for Sam Darnold or something. Barkley is a preseason mirage.

Right on. He was barely 20 when they drafted him. He is hitting the gym hard. He should invite Dion Dawkins and introduce him to exercise.

Dawkins is SO fat. Shameful for an athlete to look like that.

This might be the worst exhibition of football I’ve seen in a long time.

When does training camp start this year?

I think Bernard may pull away with the MLB job by not playing.

Getting whipped by Steelers 2nd team

Looks like Dobson got benched.

Team is absolutely not ready to play a game.

Embarrassing effort.

I need to start being more clear with my writing. I never said that Harty or Sherfield should be cut. I was only saying that they aren’t so proven that if some other WR really plays well that they should be able to beat one or the other out. I am not predicting that they will be cut nor saying that they should be. Only saying that their careers to date don’t warrant automatic roster spots.

I agree with much of this. I do think Shakir is in the most potential danger of the 3. I don't mind Shakir and hope he does well, but he isn't super big or super fast, so he has to win with quickness and he HAS to have sure hands. He is reportedly struggling with his hands in practice and that drop in the last game was bad. I don't know why Isabella wouldn't have an opportunity to beat him out. I am not saying that Sherfield or Harty are bad, but they are far from proven (other than on special teams). Now, if people want to ascribe Harty and Sherfield's lack of stats to lack of opportunity- couldn't that also be said of the other guys trying to win spots? I fully expect Sherfield and Harty to make the team, I'm just saying that they aren't truly established NFL receivers that should be locks.

But why are they locks? They are certainly not very proven. Shakir in particular isn't. Harty is a proven special teams player and Sherfield had 30 catches last year. I'm arguing that we are over-rating Harty, Sherfield and Shakir. Harty has 64 NFL catches over 4 years, Sherfield has 67 over 5 years and Shakir has 10 in 1 year. Does that scream "proven"? Please don't interpret this to mean that I think they are horrible. I am only saying that they are really not proven, so why would they be considered "locks" to make the roster?

I think that the idea that the Bills are “loaded” at WR is funny. They have 2 proven players in Diggs and Davis. The idea that Harty, Sherfield and Shakir are so good that they could not be beaten out is absurd.

Barkley has close to 10 years in the league, so he should look good against 3rd/4th stringers. Kyle Allen is learning a new offense and was playing against Colts’ starters. That’s not meant to make excuses for Kyle Allen, it is just a fact.
