When did he become a "very bad route runner?" It is one of his strengths.

You're seriously putting Jones' career catch percentage (without one iota of context), comparing it to Sills college percentage, and drawing a conclusion? THAT is a bizarre, and silly numbers game, there. Perhaps I could just throw out Jones' catch percentages for his last two games, (55.6%, and 66.7%, respectively) and proclaim that he improved towards the end of the season? Perhaps I could cite his catch percentage in the Jets game (with Barkley throwing him the ball) of 72.7%, and his following game's percentage of 0.0% (only one target), and proclaim him WILDLY INCONSISTENT. Perhaps I could cite his actually drop percentage (slightly under 3%-- lower than most of the top receivers in the 2018 league, btw), and declare that he is the second coming of Jerry Rice. Perhaps I could cite how much different his numbers were when he was facing different defenses, or had different QBs throwing him the ball. Or, perhaps I could ignore all context, throw out one incomplete stat, and declare that Sills is a better NFL QB than Zay Jones.

I think the NFL is going to get a team going in Banff.

Never forget this guy. 0:18-0:28, and 1:45-1:55, btw, are 20 seconds of must-see TV.

I wonder if they could give him a regular spot (not the one granted by the International Pathway Program), and be able to activate him during the 2019 season?

I did not know this. I assume this also means that other teams would not be able to claim him off our practice squad during 2019?

I said in another thread that I think Duke could become the best blocking WR we've ever had.

I think Duke Williams, and David Sills are both far enough down the depth chart that their chances of making the 53 are dependent on how well they fit into special teams. I don't know if Duke ever played ST in the CFL (I suspect not, as he was a starting WR), but he would seem to be a likely fit, as he is super strong, and an effective blocker. (There's an hilarious clip of him plowing over a CB who was taunting him that made the rounds). Sills on the other hand... just watching him run, he looks lanky, and perhaps not a natural fit into ST work. I also suspect that once the pads come on, Duke's true worth will become more evident.

There are no stats for kick returns for Yeldon. Perry had 18 kick returns for Miami over the last two years averaging over 20 ypc. I don't really know anything about him, either. But, he did get four sacks last season with Detroit without any game starts. Not bad for a non-starter, I suppose.

One would assume if he was playing OLB in a 3-4.

It's crazy to put Ray Ray above Zay Jones, or Andre Roberts on the depth chart. They brought Roberts in as a return specialist-- he may not see a single offensive snap in most games. And Zay had more targets, and receptions than any other WR on the team, right up to the final game vs. Miami. I have to believe that Brown, Beasley, Roberts, Jones, and Foster are closest to locks. After that, the competition for the final roster spots will have to include their performance on special teams for them to have a chance.

I think the Bills will carry four RBs, and Senorise Perry makes the 53. They're going to take special teams very seriously this season, and Perry will be a core contributor. But, I also think we may see him on the field for some short yard situations. But, here's an even darker horse: Christian Wade. I believe he will transition to the NFL, and I believe he will be a great RB. I certainly don't think he will make the 53 in September, but he will be on the practice squad, as he will have his own additional open spot, per the International Player Pathway Program. And, if we end up going down a running back in the regular season (not unlikely), we could absolutely see him on the field later in the season. Watch the guy's game tape playing rugby. He's incredibly strong, shifty, and has exceptional acceleration. I can't wait to see what he can do with pads on.

The peloton is getting a bit deep...

“If they see you with ranch dressing, your days are numbered”

Then, I'll just repeat, and clarify my initial response to your obnoxious post: You don't have the perspective to judge other people's life choices, especially as it pertains to their dedication to their careers, and families. The suggestion that people who do jobs on spec in the furtherment of their careers are being "exploited" by their "overlords," and are lesser as parents, or spouses is just plain ignorant. And, I'll leave it at that.

And, you never play music unless you're getting paid? I call BS.

You don't work in the arts. And, apparently, you have no passion for your career. The kindest thing I can say about this post is that you clearly don't have the perspective to judge others' life choices.

Nah. If the Bills win their first five games, the national media will jump all over it, and call them a "sleeper team" until they lose their next two, at which point they'll stop talking about it, because they would have to admit they were wrong. Plus, they will have forgotten what they said in the first place. This is very much a "what have you done lately" sort of league. Just look at what they're saying about the Browns.

"How long before I get my own parking space?"

I mentioned something similar in another thread, and I obviously can't speak for the team, but: I can't remember when the fanbase has been this united behind a quarterback for the Bills. I thought, maybe Kelly. But, as an older poster pointed out to me-- even Kelly had his detractors while he was playing, and I can understand why. But, going back through the years: Tyrod, Fitz, Trent, Orton, EJ, Losman... I remember people bagging on Bledsoe. I was skeptical as hell when they drafted Allen. But, man, am I on board now. If there's anyone who thinks we should be going a different direction at QB, please, chime in. I'm not sure you exist. BTW- I effing love Kyle Williams.

I guess the only reason that the Bills have had 100% attendance for their voluntary OTAs (even the old vets, who are injured, and not participating), is because they're all saps. LOSERS with no life, and nothing better to do. Chumps. I wish I had never become a Bills fan. There could be no other explanation since, May is meaningless. But, of course, I'm just being silly.

Well, we could talk about that, I 'suppose...

Something new to talk about!!!

You don’t know me. Ive been racing with a crew on a sailboat for ten years, and I’ve never made a dime. I work in the motion picture industry, and over the years I’ve done countless “spec” jobs (freebies) for numerous reasons, including that of letting people know my work ethic, and dedication to those I work with, and the profession we have chosen. I met my wife on a month-long freebie that a colleague directed. OBJ ain’t an office clerk. He’s a teammate.
