Ronin Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Nothin' says "we're f'd" like... 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.
Scrappy Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Pre-season lineups, LOL. There is something you can't count on.
The Avenger Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Time for an "Ode to Kamar"..? Memories...... I don't think many folks go back far enough for the reference.......
JPS Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Kamar & Buddy go to White Castle. Nicely played. Very nice.
3rdand12 Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 ok he's now on my radar. thanks guys. at first i was thinking... umm who? curiouser and curiouser Chan is.
Billshank Redemption Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 easley really better get some playing time the next game or he is basically gone same with davis its almost difficult to go with less then 7 wos plus b smith its crazy
3rdand12 Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 maybe Davis, but i think they will hang on to Easley awhile longer. But i agree he needs to improve quickly to make a difference for us. And i wish he would. maybe he stays to end of pre season unless he shows a jump up. Aiken can go to practice squad like Naaman did and get called up later.
NewEra Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Anyone see him block? Seems like we usually run in 2 Wr sets. Maybe he'll be the "#2" due to his blocking, but will be on the bench during 4 Wr sets.... Just a thought, I haven't seen much of him. His video is impressive though. Made some really nice grabs
auburnbillsbacker Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I would shocked if he was our #2 wr already. Peter King has discussed Jones in two recent articles, stating that he is becoming a very good player. He even recommended drafting him in your fantasy league. If Aiken has passed Jones by, I would assume that he must be a great talent as well. Maybe his emergence in addition to others led to the trade of Lee Evans.
Mr. WEO Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) 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? Did they use the same stopwatch that they used to time Easley? 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 Hmmmm. Aiken is listed at 212--3 pounds more than Evans and 12 lbs less than Easley (who is the same height as Aiken). You have a computer--look it up. Anyway, Aiken was the #3 WR on a UCF team that threw 300 passes last year. Edited August 17, 2011 by Mr. WEO
hondo in seattle Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I thought this was pretty honest coaching evaluation and interesting. Thanks for the link. Good stuff. Wonder if the kid has ADD? Whatever the issue, I hope he can resolve the consistency/concentration problem because he seems to have a huge upside.
Heitz Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 At least we're getting to see these young guys - better than ending up like in a situation like Stevie, a talented WR with 12 catches in his first two years!

Acantha Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) Time for an "Ode to Kamar"..? Bite your tongue. Edited August 17, 2011 by Faustus
Doc Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) Did they use the same stopwatch that they used to time Easley? Probably. But they likely didn't have either run on that pristine Bears turf. Edited August 17, 2011 by Doc
dcbillsfan13 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 I would shocked if he was our #2 wr already.

If Aiken has passed Jones by, I would assume that he must be a great talent as well. Maybe his emergence in addition to others led to the trade of Lee Evans. Or it could mean that behind Stevie we have two decent slot guys (Parrish+Nelson)and a bunch of unproven, yet promising young wideouts. My guess is that Jones, Aiken, Easley, Roosevelt will be interchangeable throughout the rest of the pre-season and maybe the first few weeks of the regular season. Hopefully one of them steps up to the plate or it could be a long year of double/triple coverage for Stevie.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 At least we're getting to see these young guys - better than ending up like in a situation like Stevie, a talented WR with 12 catches in his first two years! ...with about 80% of the fans on this board begging for him to get a chance.
Mr. WEO Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I did look it up, brainiac. Could it be (gasp) that different sources list different measureables??? Really? I went right to nfl.com and the Bills website. Tell us where you got Aiken heavier than Easley. Probably. But they likely didn't have either run on that pristine Bears turf. Oh come on doc--you went on like they playing in quicksand. Jasper looked faster than Easley on that same turf.
