    Zay is going to miss time in the preseason.  At least some of it.  Joe’s point was that missing part of the preseason was hard on Sammy and there’s a good chance it could affect Jones. 

     

    You might be right about OTA’s.  Doesn’t take away from the fact that Dupre looked good out there

    Who said this. Link me to where someone says he will miss preseason or some of it? I bet you cant find it.

     

    and everyone looks good in OTA cause its OTA

    Listening to The Bills beat podcast and Joe Buscaglia shared some surprising names that might make an impact at WR.  These are names you might expect.

     

    First odd Joe and Fairburn really share their concerns about the WR corps.  They feel that Kelvin Benjamin looked like he’s “laboring” on the field and that Zay Jones is a huge question mark.  With Zay missing the preseason with a knee injury, he’s really going to behind the 8 ball after a very disappointing rookie year.  If he falters it’s a miss on Sean McDermott and if Benjamin fails to take a step forward it’s a whiff on Brandon Beane who traded a 3rd for him.

     

    But the more interesting part was when Joe shared the names of some WR’s who might contribute this season - and they are names you wouldn’t expect:

     

    Malachi Dupree - he had been getting reps with the first team at OTA’s and has been very impressive on the field.  There must have been a reason why the Bills kept him on the practice squad last year - potentially because they saw him as a developmental player.  

     

    Quan Bray - another player that might surprise you.  Great burst of speed and a very good route runner.

     

    Austin Prohel - Said the Bills and their QB’s really love this kid.  It would be an upset if he gets an active roster spot but he’s done a lot of good things over the past two days.

     

    Most of us weren’t really expecting these players to make the roster.  If they do, you’ll see significant turnover with veterans like Andre Davis or Jeremy Kerley potentially gone.  And who knows what happens with Zay?

     

    So time will tell if there is legitimacy to these thoughts or if these WR’s will end up as another Dez Lewis.

    First Bolded Area, They don't think Zay will miss preseason.. where do you get your info

     

    Second Bolded Area. LoL  Listen. OTA is not about who is on first team or second, its about learning scheme and playbook so don't read anything into who is starting and who isn't in OTA lol

     

    Third Bolded Area. They say they love this kid cause of how he acts on the field. Always smiling and great personality, nothing to do with his play

    People dislike Tyrod... I beg you to watch Josh Allen games in full! Like I've said, I got through 6 games before telling Jeremy from WGR to stop texting me Josh Allen games! They were horrible... 140 yards here, 202 yards there... bad mechanics, over throwing the RB in the flats, missing wide open WR's down field.... nobody wants to talk about that.

    People just want to believe pie in the sky because he's a Bill. News flash... it's almost possible we got it wrong. Everything our new front office has done isn't the greatest of moves.  They've made some good moves & they've made some really questionable moves. 

     

    in many of those games in 2010 he lacked attempts. he had 19, 11, 20, 19

     

    The Iowa game where the team played from behind all day he had 40 attempts for crap yards because the entire team was out matched

    Another game 32 attempts for over 300 yards. Rest of games attempts were lower much lower. his average att. was just over 24. Sam Darnold averaged over 34 passes.

    That's the difference between one and the other. But no one wants to discuss reality either. No one wants to believe that you can go through link after link and have Allen as the best potential QB coming out of the league. No one wants to discuss.. at least on these boards that until the draft, that he was considered top 2 QB talent coming off this draft.

     

    so go ahead and continue with your doom and gloom on Josh Allen.

     

    bolded

    Just cause Allen was not your pick doesn't make the pick "questionable"

    I know you're being sarcastic, but considering he threw for 1 TD & 8 INT's against Power 5 schools, I don't think his redzone percentage would look that good against the teams those other QB's played against.

     

    So were the DB's he played against. So were the linebackers he played against. So were the D-lines he played against. So were the coaches he played against. 

    And in the MWC, he wasn't even voted as one of the QB's to the All-Conference team. Lol that means other QB's from those crappy schools with their crappy lines and their crappy WR's somehow managed to outclass him. 

    The talent he played with doesn't matter when everyone else has a level playing field.

    the talent matters when you blame things like accuracy totally on him. to say he is garbage cause of the team he played for is lazy

    Agreed.

    So let's assume he's 80% as good

    What about incognito backup?

     

    And any dropoff is still a dropoff, which was my point from the start, as well as in another thread.

     

    A dropoff is realistic to expect, and it's unrealistic to assume there will be no dropoff.

     

     

    as I stated the guard position is the biggest concern. I think LT. RT C are ok. and with those positions little drop. its the guards.

  6. Laughable. Each player has to earn it either by proving it in NFL current team or last team they are at. To start a player know matter what is insane.

     

    On that note IF he wins the QB battle and IF they feel the O'Line holds I have 0 problem with it.

     

    I also don't have an issue with slapping a red shirt on him for a year and letting him learn.

     

    time will tell

    Yes I am hoping groy can do okay, but he was woods' backup for a reason, so even if he's okay, the likely result is a regression.

    Really that's my point.

     

    Here's hoping he's good though.

     

    he was sitting behind him because he was better, yet that does not mean he is a huge drop off.

    Dawkins replaced Glenn if I'm not mistaken.

    I conceded that I won't count him since he was hit or miss (Glenn)

    We lost wood and incognito to sudden retirement

    Wood played 16 games

    Incognito played 16 games

    That's who I'm talking about

     

    I'm just saying I think we will see a regression this year.

    2016 Groy filled in for several games and did just fine and many feel center is not the biggest position of worry. LG, RG, RT are positions that worry me but hey.. Next man up. you never no and again. I think there will be a slight regression but who knows with new scheme

    We lost our two best linemen, and replaced them with the backups from last year.

    We lost then unexpectedly to retirement, so this wasn't something planned that the front office had guys in the wings waiting to take their place.

    That's an objective fact.

    The most logical opinion, based on that fact, is that the oline will see regression, unless the backups suddenly become miracle pro bowl caliber players.

     

    Is that a good enough explanation for you?

     

    What objective reasoning have you used to make your deduction that the oline will not regress, other than "I feel it won't"?

    What did you base that off of?

    First Bolded selection. How often were those same 2 people injured last year? who replaced them then? didn't they do a good job? I thought Dawkins did a fine job. I think your playing Dawkins down as a backup when he is now ready for full time starter EASY and I think Dion can be a Pro Bowler. Looking down on him is foolish. Here is the thing though.

     

    You have no info to know the O'Line will regress until they play. your playing guessing games.. You have a right to your opinion based on what is missing and others have a right to there opinion based on what is there. I am not going to say they will be great cause they wont.. but I am not going to pull out my crystal ball and say they will be horrible cause we don't no that either.

     

    How many times in this league has players shocked you.. Played absolutely horrible.. like a nightmare there first year -3 years then pull rabbit out of there ass and play strong. We just don't know..

     

    THAT being said I feel the line will regress a little but not to the point where I am loosing sleep over it cause this is a whole new system and maybe even blocking system that will take time to learn with new offensive system anyhow. Lets just say the line is horrible this year? I still don't care because we will have what 80-90 mil next year + next years free agents + next years draft class besides?

    Good question.

     

    So here's some film of Josh Allen's pro day.  His training facility, indoors, his WR.  3 of the first 4 throws on the film overshoot the WR.

    As the 3rd overthrow falls just beyond the WR outstretched fingertips, the announcer is saying "you can't make a better throw, you can't make a better throw than that".

     

    Are these WR problems, where a better/faster WR would have been able to get there?  Or QB problems, where he needed to bounce a bit after his drop so the WR had more time to run the route? 

     

    Or both? 

     

    Or can't tell?

     

    Intrinsically, I'm not too thrilled by an 80 yd throw that the WR can't get to, though I do understand they're trying to highlight what his arm can do and that might go beyond the speed of his current WR

     

     

    They are asked to throw it as far down field as they can, The accuracy shows in the mid range passes

    Obviously you didn't listen to what some of the scouts were saying about him.....  I was making fun of the scouts, not Josh Allen.  I guess I need to draw you a picture.

    a little more specific on what you mean when you talk might help. but now that I get your point gg :D

    Mayfield: Hi I am Doc   (I am the best backup to Tyrod Taylor)

    Darnold:  Hi I am Dopey (I am going to get my teeth kicked in because I play for the Jets)

    Allen:  Hi I am Happy (Until I play my first NFL game and puke)

    Rosen: Hi I am Sleepy (still wondering why I was not picked first.. Yawn)

    Jackson: Hi I am Grumpy (Cause I was picked last)

    You’re embarrassing yourself, but you don’t seem to recognize that fact. I mentioned running and catching first and said in bold it was great. Then I mentioned the blocking... albeit with a little hyperbole. The OP did NOT ask what is the ONE thing you remember, but you conveniently said it was the “biggest thing that came through” my head. You’re putting words in my mouth to defend your baseless attack of my post. 

     

    Do you NOT remember his blocking? I phrased it as a question, you could have just answered. I added it because the blocking is often overlooked by many. 

     

    This is very middle school-ish.

     

    I don’t care how I look here, but if I did I’d be just fine with my position, because I’m clearly right. I’ve posted stupid stuff here in the past,, and I’ll admit it when I get it wrong. Maybe it’s your turn to act like a grown up and admit you whiffed. But I won’t hold my breath....or even really care.
