yungmack Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 WR, the front 7, O line overall. I'm also keeping an eye on RB.

I wouldn't say Zay is an absolute lock but I'm 99.9% sure he makes the team unless there's another bizarre incident with him. I think the coaches like Jones and see his potential....he's also a 2nd round pick going into his 2nd year. The other 4 could be shuffled a million different ways. I am pulling for Streater though. I do think he has talent and has potential. Really sucked having him carted off last year in PS after having a great camp. The other is Bodine vs Groy. I am pulling for Groy. I know Bodine is "steady" but I think Groy could be good. The WR. We have some vets who are borderline-capable but not outstanding, Streater and Holmes amoung them. We have some young guns who want it bad. It will be verrry interesting to see how they shape up in camp. And yeah, the OL.
GreggTX Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) Trent vs Shaq Harry vs Kyle I'm also keeping an eye on that #2 TE spot. and FB. Our backup TE's played poorly as did our FB. They need to help out more on wide running plays for Shady to be able to turn the corner. None of our OL are any good except maybe Dawkins will come around in year 2. I could easily imagine some late cut stepping in to start on the OL early in the season to help shore up our weakest overall position group -- WR's are our 2nd weakest group.

42Knuck Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 I'll be watching the WR competition as well, but I expect a big jump this year in production no matter who makes the team just because of the change at QB, I think the WR's will have a better chance of making plays. It was a tough couple years for those guys, TT was a great guy, but not very effective at hooking up with WR's. I'm more interested in both lines. They brought a lot guys in, I think there's going to be some fierce competition in the trenches.

Our backup TE's played poorly as did our FB. They need to help out more on wide running plays for Shady to be able to turn the corner. Trent vs Shaw will be interesting. I don't think there's much of a "competition" so to speak with Kyle and Harrison, but I think Kyle's PT will decrease towards the end of the season, with Harrison manning his position. If the Bills are in the playoff mix, this would give Kyle and his old legs some rest, and give the Bills a better rotation. And if the Bills are out of it, it would give Harrison some more valuable time on the field. Kyle may have lost a step, but he's still pretty good, and is still pretty quick off of the snap. This staff won't do him dirty and give Phillips more PT than Kyle (barring major regression from Kyle), especially since it may be his last season. But Kyle is a true pro and wants what's best for the team, and I'm sure he understands his role. Phillips is basically Kyle's "little" Padawan, and is potentially the future at the position. I'm more interested in seeing Phillips compete with Washington. Also, I think you're selling O'Leary short. He's gotten better each year, and has reliable hands. And he just looks the part of a "classic" TE, even if he's a bit shorter than your typical TE. Edited June 21, 2018 by Drunken Pygmy Goat
RevWarRifleman Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 Wide Receiver battle. Which one(s) can establish themselve(s) as a long ball threat. We need somebody that can stretch the field.
ColoradoBills Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 The entire OL with the exception of LT. The WR battles will be fun but they won't make any difference if the Bill's don't field a credible OL.
LABILLBACKER Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 Want to see Reilly and Foster beat out out Holmes and Dupree. Murphy v. Shaq should be interesting.
Bills Fan of St Augustine Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 OL, It is too important to the young QBs success.

Will be great if true.
JohnBonhamRocks Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 The Center battle with Groydine should be interesting.

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 ...receiving corp (WR & TE) as well as OL...a viable. threatening passing game, especially DOWNFIELD, was in the "lost and NOT YET found" department......shape up the OL to pass protect and let McDaboll do his thing.....WR's had a better shot of catching t-shirts from the stands versus seeing the pigskin...........
