dcbillsfan13 Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Depth charts have been updated on buffalobills.com. Kamar Aiken is listed as the starting WR2 ahead of Jones. Has anyone else seen this?! No other surprises, Levitre still listed as LG1.
Phlegm Alley Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 He's been my guy to watch. I was reading on BB message board that the guy has been lights out at camp and just looks like a gamer. Here is his college highlight reel: Kamar Aiken
Green Lightning Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 My brother was at practice this week and said the kid can fly and catch. Now can he block, read coverages and be where he's supposed to be when Fitz needs him? That's a lot to ask of a rookie UFA.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 He's been my guy to watch. I was reading on BB message board that the guy has been lights out at camp and just looks like a gamer. Here is his college highlight reel: Kamar Aiken This guy runs a 4.4 40? --very impressive, considering he seems like a really big receiver. Did anyone see him play against Chicago last week?
frogger Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 He had a less than stellar senior year at ucf, as a junior he was very good. Ucf is not a program that throws the ball a bunch. In the games I saw, he got open and on the rare occasion of the ball being thrown his way, he caught it, sometimes in rather impressive style.
Alphadawg7 Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 He's been my guy to watch. I was reading on BB message board that the guy has been lights out at camp and just looks like a gamer. Here is his college highlight reel: Kamar Aiken Anyone else notice that damn near every pass thrown to him was a wounded duck or off target? Makes his performances in that highlight real even more impressive. Hope the kid can play, we need a #2

Makes his performances in that highlight real even more impressive. Hope the kid can play, we need a #2 Yeah, I saw that. My immediate thought was that he'd have no difficulties in adjusting to Fitz.
Mark Vader Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Nice highlight reel. I noticed he was in a game against Texas. Wonder if he lined up against Aaron Williams?
Nanker Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Too bad he's another player from the south. He'd be so much better a receiver and more accepted by some here.
DreReed83 Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I know what we're doing now. Our strategy is to put as many no name players on the field at once so teams can't scout them and won't know what we're doing. That Chan Gailey is so sneaky.
Turbosrrgood Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I've never found the BuffaloBills.com roster to be all that meaningful this time of year. Having said that, I am always happy to hear we have someone stepping up. My question is, if he makes the team...Who gets cut? Davis (hopefully)? Easley? Roosevelt? Maybe even Nelson? Davis hasn't done anything to prove he's not the "bust" he was from SD so far, and certainly doesn't look better than any of our young guys. Hopefully Nix can get over him. Easley has had tough luck, but has proven next to nothing so far...Still, I'd like to see him get a chance. I was a Namaan doubter last year, but he is starting to make me a believer. He has looked like one of our most consistent receivers. I like Huggins and Hubbard too...One position where we certainly have depth...
Juice_32 Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 i grew up in orlando and still follow ucf relatively closely. if this kid was at a big time school or if he had anyone decent throwing him the ball, he would most certainly have been drafted. im kind of surprised he wasn't anyway. number 2 this early though? say what you will about buddy and chan. if they find someone they think can play, they sure aren't afraid to give them a chance.
Beerball Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Time for an "Ode to Kamar"..? Kamar & Buddy go to White Castle.
metzelaars_lives Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I saw that yesterday and just assumed it was a mistake. I'll believe it when I see him lined up with the starters on Saturday.
....lybob Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I'm a little surprised if they have him as the #2 WR (I thought that would be Parrish) but I wouldn't be surprised at all if jumped past most of the other receivers he's looked NFL ready from what I've seen of practice.
The Big Cat Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 No such thing as a #2 receiver in Gailey's offense. No such thing as a #1, #3, 4, or 5 either. Just sayin...
White Linen Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) I thought this was pretty honest coaching evaluation and interesting. Edited August 17, 2011 by Triple Threat
The Big Cat Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) From youtube video: Kamar Aiken, at 6'2" and 218 lbs, possesses good size at the receiver position. When you combine Aiken's size, speed and his superior strength in the weight room, Aiken becomes a very difficult assignment for cornerbacks at both the line of scrimmage and downfield. Aiken can stretch the defense vertically and is always a threat for a huge play. BTW, he's an inch shorter and 10 lbs heavier than Easley, who looked like a horse in those Goon Squad pics from over the summer... He's also four inches taller and 20 lbs heavier than Evans. hmmmmmmm Edited August 17, 2011 by The Big Cat
