They keep 5 to slip Mccould on P.S. TE, Rb and Oline is going to impact the WR number. McCoy, Gore, Singletary, and Yeldon all could make the 53 and 46, that happens you go with 5 Wrs.

I assume it's more to do with the fact they are reporting plays and concepts being practiced. Its nieve and presumptuous to think they are the only ones who can see what kind of plays and concepts being practiced. Breaking down the formation and actual concept in the method they are imo breaks an unwritten rule is journalism. They have an extra level of access at St. John Fisher vs practices at OBD. Actually, treating it like scouting will move them to moving from the training camp methodology and practicing in a controlled environment at OBD. If the trip to Carolina goes well imo that will be the new training camp move. 1 week travel as a team practice vs an opposing team. They have a state of the art recovery and rehabilitation during the most intense practicing it sits empty and not used. It wont take much for them decide to practice at home for training camp.

After a week of T.C. I think the offense is farther along than I expected. The Oline is Dawkins, Spain, Morse, open, Ford or Nyske. The best 5 move Ford to LG play Nyske at RT have Waddle be the swing tackle. I think they will be stubborn because of Fords potential at RT and keep him there.

Not in pads, doing redzone work is really more mental than anything else. The stats dont matter. 1 int and some tipped passes are to be expected in practice. Look forward to seeing them progress through the summer and preseason. Looks like dawkins spain morse and ford are the lineman. I think the best 5 is dawkins, spain morse ford Nyske. Feliciano and Long are liabilities.

I look at like there are buyers and sellers. If Buffalo makes a move it will be an addition. Beane said pre and post draft they have the cap space available if a premier talent comes available. I dont see Beane in a make or break year sell a player for a day 2 pick.

Carter is a move TE. Mildly athletic with a decent frame. With how they want to use the TE they need bodies to practice the formations.

Seen nothing, heard nothing. The whole story of everyone in the organization talking him into signing with them post draft makes me believe they are high on him.

In modern day NFL short area quickness is more important than size for a WR. Williams is the longest of long shots. Sills seems to have a leg up on him for the tall catch radius guy. Pre season could change things but the look of the passing game last lends me to believe speed and quickness is king.

Nyske is plan B at OT. Dawkins and Ford are plan A. Dawkins and Ford could bookend for years. Nyske can slide in at either spot no problem. Imo he is a better pass blocker than both. Dawkins and Ford have the run blocking style they want.

Just like with Mack. The new team has a window to negotiate. A trade wont happen without a contract in place. Too early yet. Jaguars with Foles think they are a superbowl contender and wont give up on a talented rusher. Same goes for Houston. You need a team in turmoil. Low key I would look into Chandler Jones in AZ. They will be poor and he makes a lot of money.

Yes. Daboll will be more imaginative with his personal and alignments than Garrett. 2 TEs. Knox and Croom? Knox and Kraft? I dont expect Buffalo to line up in a mirror formation without motion and snap the ball. I think you will see Knox and Croom lined up all over the formation. Yes its 21 personal and they will find ways to get Beasley in a slot position at snap. Look and NE. Dabolls breeding ground. From Troy Smith to Deon Branch to Wes Welker to Ammendola to Julian Edleman. They find ways to get their slot Wr in a favorable match up and move him to ensure he has a free release. Beasley is going to see this alot.

Foster is going to see the feild plenty. The current practice rep number is frustrating but come sundays his snap count wont be much different than Brown's. Foster and Brown need to be staggered for the most part during games. Having the ability to press a defense deep all game stresses a defense and will also tire it out. Most teams have only 2 guys who they are really comfortable with outside. Running Brown 50 to 75 yards then subbing Foster for him will be a problem for defensive Coordinators and cornerbacks alike. Teams dont often sub Dbs so running a few Wrs at them makes sense. Situations when Buffalo goes 4 Wrs Foster certainly will be the guy. Foster catches 5 passes for 100 yards does it matter where he is on the depth chart? Or when he entered the game?

If Ray Ray plays teams and keeps improving he is the final Wr... 1 Brown 2 Beasley 3 Jones 4 Foster 5 Roberts. Besides Beasley I think they want someone who can spell him at times. They liked McCloud enough to keep him even through his rocky rookie season. Dabol and McDermott have been very complimentary of him. He is who they would like to have. If Mccloud makes a few special team plays in preseason without the ball he makes it. McKenzie is the second option and Cam Phillips is the third. Sills and Williams are long shots with Brown, Jones, Foster and Roberts ahead of them on the outside. They would need to be preseason all stars.

I think his pre draft work outs were impacted by his in season work load. He never had time to recover. Get him in a professional athlete weight program will do wonders. Plus being paired with McCoy and Gore he will learn how to properly recover. Barring any unforeseen I think Singeltary has a Cohen type of impact for the offense. 10 to 15 touches a game and infuses some electric plays to the offense.

Instead of a rotation, I think it's better to let a players performance dictate their roster placement. If a player is excelling with the 2's give him looks with the ones. If a player is struggling or not performing at a considerable difference then give them practice rotation. Wholesale changes across positional groups holds the team back. On the offensive line it's not as easy as playing the best 5 but the best 5 together.

Nothing I have read about the first 4 practices indicates Barkley is close to Allen in terms of play or command.

Sounds like a good day for the offense. The Oline and running game will really be tested when pads come on. Dawkins Spain, Morse, Feliciano Ford is a Mauling group. Curious to hear how they do when the dline is full go and the intensity is 100.

Buffalo will be as good as Allen. The defense is solid. The special teams have improved, every offensive personal group has improved. Allen has the talent and I think he has the confidence to excel.

The ability to run more pass plays per minute. Defense hqve more looks and pass defense opportunities. No sacks, no tipped or batted balls. With out waiting for the line to line up set protection makes the plays run faster. A way to simulate how a play, a read works in rythem vs coverage.

Intermediate to deep Jon Brown is a problem. Throughout his career when he plays with a Qb who can hit those throws he is productive. Foster, Brown, Beasley, and Jones is a respectable group.

Super low sample size. As a Junior he was used way more in the passing game and did well. I think he could have a Tarik Cohen like role and impact on this offense.

He was the top rated Qb in fantasy football after his return. Every week. Josh Allen? Is he a relevant option? Every week, well he is inaccurate blah blah blah. Does it again. Well he is inaccurate. You cant avoid his running ability. He is up there with a young Russel Wilson and Cam Newton. He throws TDs and will be a threat in the redzone or goal line to run it in. He is a top 12 fantasy QB due to that ability. He consistently did it the last 6 weeks. Give him a better line, better rushing attack, he will be better.

Hate? That is strong. Mike Folio is always for the players carving out larger stances and portions in terms of contracts and CBA issues. He has a point that at some point that could become a CBA issues. An equal party, the NFLPA stands to benefit from the league entering new and possible more emerging markets. Imo this is a more abstract argument. Buffalo name is brought 1, they currently are in the middle of a new stadium negotiating. 2. Buffalo is a small market. The whole new stadium is tied to Buffalo's success on the feild. If they become contenders and sell out and have home playoff games they get public money to get a new stadium. They dont? Buffalo probably moves if NY wont give them any assistance.

Unless you watched Allen play last year you would not be impressed. Allen will shock the "NFL world" next year. The one that watches the morning argument shows and bases their opinions on stat lines.

Allen is the most exciting Qb Buffalo has had under center since Flutie. Allen imo is most see TV. Whether it's a scramble, throw, or run he jumps off the TV and is exciting to watch. With more nuance I think he has the potential to be the best Qb since Kelly. He is a big time talent. He is the undisputed leader. I think Allen and the Bill's have a big year.
