YoloinOhio Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 Watched the KC/SF game and the color guy was talking up Goodwin as if he was the 2nd coming of Jerry Rice. Said he had no QB in Buffalo and SF's QB will make him a star... Hoyer?
WMDman Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 Outside: Zay, JMatt Slot: Boldin im sure there will be plenty of times they put Zay/JMatt in the slot
LeGOATski Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 Hoyer? I guess... If not, Matt Barkley looked okay...
norton20 Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 Finals cutdown and signings will be a madhouse this year! Best front office wins! What are the cut down dates again? i know it changed drastically from the past.
Straight Hucklebuck Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 According to our GM getting 36 year old Anquan Boldin showed that he is a win-now kinda guy....
JohnBonhamRocks Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 I feel like either of Matthews, Jones, and Boldin can play outside.
John from Riverside Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 that player might not be on the roster yet

Said he had no QB in Buffalo and SF's QB will make him a star... Did the color guy mention that Goodwin is, unfortunately, made of frost crystals?
chris heff Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 I guess... If not, Matt Barkley looked okay... Remember when people on this site thought Barkley was a franchise QB. The same guys that think trading Watkins is brilliant. I feel like either of Matthews, Jones, and Boldin can play outside. They are all slot receivers none have the speed to play outside.that player might not be on the roster yet Sure, they will probably just pick up a number one receiver when final cuts are made.
BobChalmers Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 My hope is that Holmes takes command. He's more suited for the Y and Zay is more of a slot receiver, no? Have him learn from one of the best in the meantime. With Vlad looking expendable and the emergence of Yarbrough Holmes will have to improve a LOT for Beane not to cut him so they get a compensatory 3rd round pick.

Oh yippee more picks that can be used to replace the guys they traded. These guys are brilliant.
purple haze Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 Remember when people on this site thought Barkley was a franchise QB. The same guys that think trading Watkins is brilliant. They are all slot receivers none have the speed to play outside. Jerry Rice ran a 4.6 forty. Steve Largent wasn't "fast". He was open a lot though. Andre Reed wasn't considered "fast" and neither was Michael Irvin. Last I looked they are all in the HOF. You can play outside WR if you know how to run routes with precision, know leverage, know how to disguise routes, etc. the Bills WR will be fine. Not that I like Sammy getting dealt, but they can still move the ball.
Webster Guy Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 Streater and zay. yes. good camps for both so far. we currently have two premier slot guys in Matthews and Boldin, neither are field stretchers. streater is fast as hell, and unlike goodwin can still run a crisp cut off route. what the niners don't realize is we've had a great deep ball thrower here in Tyrod for years. Goody got released because he's too fragile and a one trick pony. i love that we have bigger stronger more durable guys like Boldin and Matthews. helps in run blocking too.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 Streater and zay. Streater will gets snaps in place of Matthews or Boldin? I find that hard to believe. We'll see though. I could see hm being in four receiver sets.
BuffAlone Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 Streater will gets snaps in place of Matthews or Boldin? I find that hard to believe. We'll see though. I could see hm being in four receiver sets. That sounds about right. Zay,Matthews and Boldin should be the top 3. Where they line up is a good question. Matthews made his biggest contributions from the slot but has played outside. Boldin can play outside, but would probably be most productive in the slot at this stage of his career. Zay can play both, but his young legs and decent speed should have him play outside due to default mostly...and Streater can come in 4th for deep speed on obvious passing downs. When everyone learns multiple positions, we could see alot of matchup based movement among the group.
frostbitmic Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 We're going to run a 3 slot WR offense, no need for an outside WR. J/K ... Maybe

BillsMedia Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) Boldin, JMatt, Zay is our 3 WR set. Holmes MAY be the 4th in 4 WR sets and split Zay inside. Pretty easy to make that call haha the coach pretty much said it. I'm not sure many people on here understand that JMatt really isn't a slot WR he was forced top play there due to the Eagles systems he played in. Jordan Matthews is 6'3", he will play on the outside for the Bills. Edited August 13, 2017 by BillsMedia
