He's very calm out there. I think as things keep slowing down for him he'll continue to make better and better decisions.
Teams are going to start taking away Cole Beasley, so I hope the other WR's can step up and get separation and make catches.
Seems Daboll would counter that by flooding routes with a RB. I really liked what I’ve seen with Shady and Singletary out in routes.
At least in terms to getting Josh some short, rhythm throws.

He’s impressed enough to warrant the question of him making the 53, but he’s a clear PS guy this year imo.
Can he pass pro? Can he follow blocks? Can he do what he’s doing against guys that won’t be on 53’s, against starters?
He made some sick moves, and a great catch, on that play but then cut it back inside when he had a clear TD if he just stayed with his convoy.

I still think it's the offensive line. Long and Spain suck IMO and Ford although promising is still a rookie. Add in the issues we're having with our TEs and we're going to have to game plan to get the ball out early or Josh is going to spend time on his backside. Everything changes if/when Morse returns.
Nsehke back at RT, with Ford kicking inside to RG, also helps.

I think we over-inflate the importance of our trash players. Every team thinks they have someone that will make another teams 53 if cut. In reality, only a handful ever move teams.
I don’t think Wade or VoJo are trash, but Wade needs a year to learn the position. No team outside us have any clue what he knows or doesn’t know in terms of the NFL RB nuances.
VoJo could get picked up by a LB needy team, but he needs A LOT of coaching. Not exactly a 53 guy yet, IMO. A guy that if taking the Corey Thompson route on our PS, could be legit down the line.

The biggest thing for me is the bills playing speed, it's been on a different level than both of their opponents thus far.
I'm starting to believe its because the team is good rather than just playing harder than its opponents.
It could be as much as this bills team is deep at a lot of positions especially on defense and that is creating competition thus faster harder playing
This.
I mean even the break from our #14 in line DB when Will Grier almost got housed again was jarring.
The speed on this team is evident. The athleticism of the defense, against the Colts/Panthers starters was clear to see. Even clearer when our 2’s went up against their 2’s.

I think Wade makes it to the PS.
Teams scouring cuts aren’t looking for projects. They are looking for guys to make their 53.
Guys like Duke Williams and Darryl Johnson are riskier PS hopefuls than a Christian Wade or Vosean Joseph.

Reports on Zay this preseason are overwhelmingly positive. We all seem to be yelling “cut him” over a goal line drop where he got open multiple times all drive and caught two other passes.
Last night Duke looked like that missing piece. That big bodied WR that can “Moss” people.
McKenzie has also jumped off the screen.
Foster oozes potential.
We may not have a true #1, but after Brown, Beasley and Roberts, the competition is pretty legit. I have no idea what I’d do as GM.

That's not really what I said though.
I said the Jets offense will be a top 10 unit in large part to their WRs.
I think their OLine will be ok. Not great but not terrible.
Thats a lot of faith in Anderson, Enunwa, Crowder and 12 games of Herndon. A unit most pundits have ranked in the bottom half of the league.
There is potential there for those guys to be elevated by the play of Darnold.
Bell and Montgomery is a nice RB tandem.
Their OL’s ceiling is mediocre with a floor that could sabotage them.
I do like Gase’s up-tempo Offense with Sam though.

Panther's fans seem to think the Bills pass rush was good.
They're blaming their QB's awful showing on the their OL not giving them time.
I didn't see a single stunting Dlineman, and the Blitzes looked like reads, rather than designed; but the inability to win 1 on 1 battles is concerning; especially regarding Oliver. He needs to improve his hands. He has no moves.
Daryl Johnson owned that RT. He needs to get some work in the next 2 games against better competition.
I don’t think we blitzed much until the second half. There were a few I thought I saw at that point.
There was one stunt against their starters. It was Phillips and someone on the left side of our DL. Resulted in an almost sack, holding penalty - blew up the play quickly.

We played and looked much better than the Luckless colts, and the Newton, Kuechley, Olsen, McCaffertyless Panthers.
We would beat both of those teams configured that way quite easily in the regular season too.It is less clear that that translates to beating the Patriots and Jets. I am a huge Josh Allen fan. The passing game will be much better this year. There are some concerns. O-line is not looking to be anything above average. Running game seems a bit weak against starters. Defense seems about the same level as last year, which is ok, but not enough to get the team as a whole past 6-10.
This post is pretty slanted, tbh.
You talk about playing teams minus all these players, yet we went up against one of the better DL’s in football last night without Morse or Nsehke. That’s our starting RT and (hopefully) starting C. John Brown didnt play. Tyler Kroft will be back sometime in the beginning of the season. Dawson Knox, same.
It was basically Josh, with 3/5 of our line (Ford likely out of position so only Dawkins/Spain in their starting roles), no John Brown, TE’s #3/4 against their starting line, starting secondary and backup ILB’s.
In terms of our defense. Valid criticism on opposing QBs. Colts may have to endure a decent amount of Brissett at starter this year, but he’s obviously not Luck. Kyle Allen was hilarious. However, with our defense, I don’t think anyone is wondering if theyre good or not... more of a “how good are they?” We can’t gather much, aside from the fact they are absurdly athletic all over the field, when measuring them up against muppet QBs.

I feel like we’re grading on a curve when we say “pass rush” is a weakness. It’s not, but it’s the only part of our defense that doesn’t look elite. Definitely makes a move for Clowney incredibly intriguing. That being said, Murphy had a filthy spin move sack and Lawson also made some plays.
OL cohesion is more of an issue than skill level, IMO. Feliciano looks pretty good at C, to the point where I’m not worried if Morse misses a handful of games. The constant plug and play isn’t ideal though. Hopefully we can get a couple weeks of practice with the starting unit healthy minus Morse.
I know we don’t have a #1 WR, but it’s pretty evident the pass catching talent level is drastically improved. I don’t know that I can list that as a glaring weakness as of now... Let’s see how they look in the regular season.
Not super worried about Haushka yet... but we seriously need to figure out this punting situation. Can’t have 35 yard punts be normal.

Is Haushka really struggling? This is the first I heard of this and am a bit surprised.
Aside from Tyree Jackson trying to throw the ball, the ugliest part of that game was our punting and kicking.

Does Barkley need to play anymore tonight?
Perhaps wanting a legitimate pass thrower in there so they can evaluate some WRs.
Not really fair to e v a l a guy like Duke when he’s out there with Tyree.

Ok... Duke is making this reallll interesting.

Worth noting... many of these fringe guys that may get cut, aren’t playing themselves off the team.
They are simply getting outplayed by guys who stepped up their game.
Ray-Ray for instance. He’s played well when given the chance. Just guys like McKenzie look way better.

They. Are. Not. Cutting. Zay. Jones.
I think we roll with Brown, Cole, Zay, Foster, McKenzie and Roberts.
Duke’s skill set is certainly intriguing, if for nothing else, around the goal line. We don’t have that big bodied, go up and get it WR

who would be a surprise cut at wr for that to happen?
Gotta be Zay.
Brown, Beasley and Roberts are locks.
Foster has too much potential.

This staff is going to have some TOUGH decisions come cuts.
Duke Williams bringing it tonight.
McKenzie, with another play that just pops off the screen.

Second Quarter, sans Pick 6, has been Carolina on the same drive for an hour as we keep extending it with penalties.

Alot of our backups would start for other defenses. This is going to be a scary scary group for opposing offenses
If we start to get production from DE’s not named Hughes, it’s a wrap.

The offense truly does.
A lot of throws to the slot, running backs and tight end spots.
We even saw a tunnel screen.
Ill take the Pats offense with big play ability (Brown/Foster over the top) all day.
