YoloinOhio Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) Actually people are saying that Mike Williams might be in danger of getting cut. They say woods and Watkins are the outsides, and maybe Hogan in the slot These "people" are 3 different media outlets who took Rodak's "OTA fallers" article and decided to create MUD for clicks. No one is in "danger of being cut" based on voluntary OTAs. Williams has a fully guaranteed contract this year and is the only WR on the team with 3 years of proven, consistent NFL production, and the combination of size, physicality and experience the Bills need as well as being a legit red zone threat. The worst case scenario for MW is he isn't a starter week 1 but there is no way he doesn't make team, especially vs annual camp heroes like Hogan. The Bills know what they have in MW and that is a lot of TDs and yards in real NFL games. Hogan catching passes from Jeff Tuel in shorts in June isn't going to cancel that out.

Best Player Available Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 "he is a really nice guy" I met his family at the Tampa game. They were really nice but none of them could play football either.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I actually really like TJ. A lot. Other than lacking any ball awareness, failing to run correct routes at critical moments, and having no hands, he has a lot of talent.
GG Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Seriously though, was he injured during OTAs? Don't remember a single word about him.
Sisyphean Bills Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Seriously though, was he injured during OTAs? Don't remember a single word about him. Who?
Maybe Someday Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I believe in TJ too. I believe that his NFL dream won't be over once the Bills cut him this fall. Some team will give him a call…maybe Carolina…because you can’t teach speed.

Ya I know that, I don't think he will get cut. I was just posting it just to put it out because the poster was talking about him. I like him better then TJ Graham. But that's go to be something I'm going to keep a eye on in mini-camp and training camp... MW vs. TJ Graham!
QB Bills Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I like him as a 5 receiver. He would basically be Goodwins backup. Goodwin is the better all player, but he seems to get injured pretty easy. Graham is the only receiver that can match his speed, so Graham is good for depth. He isn't a bad receiver, but we do have better talent on this team. And I don't buy the think where Rodak is speculating WIlliams being cut and the team keeping hogan and Graham ahead of him. Williams getting cut isn't something that will be noticeable until preseason games start. If he sucks up that bad in preseason, then I would worry. Still wish we kept stevie though. Have stevie in the slot, Woods and Watson on the out side with williams in the 4 receiver sets, and then goodwin be deep threat. that would have been nice. A littler nervous if woods/watson gets injured and then williams gets into trouble. I think we have stumbled onto a solution for the "sam watkins nickname" thread. Great job, Sherlock!!
boyst Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I believe in any player that wears red white and blue I may be called a fool from time to time or be taken as just another fanatic, but I cheer for all the Bills players and hope for them to succeed regardless of their popularity or ability. Simply put: Go Bills.
Manther Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 TJ sucks and I bet Mike Williams runs routes around him. Williams and Sammy are your top two and Woods is third then Goodwin. Marcus Easley may stand a better chance of being the next guy and then there's TJ. Maybe I'm wrong and you're right but I'm guessing the staff has more faith in developing Easley who performed on ST and they may elevate him for that reason alone. Just my take. Wait, is this about TJ, EJ or SJ? What a mess you've made here! Ramses Barden and the other tall WRs are also all ahead of TJ on the depth chart. I really understand what you're saying and this fan base has plenty to learn from past mistakes on judging players. In saying that Graham doesn't do much well and I do understand our offense has been prohibitive, but WR's emerge all over the league in putrid offenses so to me that's really not an excuse. He's a one trick pony (go deep) that doesn't do that often enough to warrant putting up with all he does badly. If the team keeps 6 receivers I don't believe he'll be one of them. He can NOT catch the ball. That is the problem!! If he has not learned to catch the ball at this point in his life and career I strongly don't think he will learn to catch it now. I actually really like TJ. A lot. Other than lacking any ball awareness, failing to run correct routes at critical moments, and having no hands, he has a lot of talent. So funny and so true! I believe in TJ too. I believe that his NFL dream won't be over once the Bills cut him this fall. Some team will give him a call…maybe Carolina…because you can’t teach speed. You can't teach how to catch at this point either!
YoloinOhio Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Seriously though, was he injured during OTAs? Don't remember a single word about him. Coming off surgery. No reps. Watkins Williams Woods Goodwin Elliott (watch for it) Easley This. Also, I predict Easley gets cut. Hogan or Graham makes it over him. Prob. Hogan.
DC Greg Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I'm skeptical I think I really saw him once. A ball was thrown, and I swear I saw him there waiting to catch it. When I looked again, the ball was there, on the ground, but he was no longer there. It happened fast, so I could have been mistaken.
26CornerBlitz Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Also, I predict Easley gets cut. That would be a bone headed decision from a ST perspective.
mountainwampus Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 He'll never be as good as Russell Wilson, Keep in mind that Russell Wilson was BENCHED for Glennon back when TJ was his receiver at NC State.
Ted William's frozen head Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 T.J. Graham? Well, he'll allow battery chuckin' fans to make themselves useful...........
oman128 Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I see nothing in his abilities, that makes me think he's going to help us. I'm sure glad we gave up 2 draft picks for him and passed on Russell Wilson.
YoloinOhio Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 That would be a bone headed decision from a ST perspective. Maybe... but while he was a positive on ST last year, that is all he contributed. Kevin Elliott also looked great on ST before he got hurt in PS and may offer more of the ability to actually provide depth at the WR position, plus the Bills made concerted effort to sign and draft players who are very strong ST players. There are only 53 spots and if Easley can only do one thing, he may be gone. That said, I would not be surprised if they kept him either as I don't know how it will all play out.

Have you ever heard of Kassim Osgood?
