Give the other two one quarter each. Then move Allen up and split first team reps with the winner of Peterman/AJM with the lead up to the 2nd game. If Allen is horrendous vs. Carolina’s third string he continues to take 3rd team reps while the other spilt heading into the 2nd game. I'm a homer, I know, but I haven't seen or heard anything out of camp that leads me to believe Allen will be "horrendous" -- it seems as though he's making a lot of good reads and throws. If anything, he's being hampered (much as he was in college) by having lesser talent to throw to. I mean, if Jeff Tuel can look good against 3rd stringers I certainly hope Allen will also.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 6, 2018 Author Posted August 6, 2018 Buffalo Bills training camp recap, August 6: Nathan Peterman stars The Buffalo Bills held their tenth training camp practice today, and while much of the focus was on a player not in attendance, the team still had plenty to do on the field today. The Bills deployed their standard quarterback shuffle, but they also rotated some players along the offensive line in different ways. Here are some of the major storylines to come out of St. John Fisher this morning. Peterman back with the ones Offensive line shuffles Injury updates Where’s Corey? Quick hits First-team wide receivers opposite Kelvin Benjamin were, Rod Streater, Jeremy Kerley, and Andre Holmes, according to Sal Capaccio...Logan Thomas worked with the first team, hauling in a pass from Peterman...Mike Rodak said that Robert Foster was working with the second team. He caught a pass from McCarron on a deep curl, and then McCarron overthrew him one play later...Capaccio noted the depth behind Charles Clay, as Jason Croom caught another beautiful touchdown from McCarron today...defensive end Shaq Lawson had a nice day, according to Mark Ludwiczak, which including a sack, a pass breakup, and a good number of pressures...Robert Foster, on the other hand, did not have a good day. He dropped a pass that led to an interception late in practice.
Roundybout Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Josh Allen seemed to have a very good day, although it could have been even better if his receivers were able to catch some passes that were described as having been thrown very well. Ray-Ray McCloud dropped two passes in 11-on-11 work, including a perfectly thrown deep pass. (Mike Rodak tweeted that the deep ball was actually dropped by Travaris Cadet, but either way, the pass was beautiful). Later, Allen had some good sets in 7-on-7 work, throwing a touchdown pass to Khari Lee and making another good pass to Kaelin Clay that saw the wideout stopped short of the end zone. He also threw a touchdown to Brandon Reilly, and he would have had another, but Robert Foster could not corral a bullet from the strong-armed rookie; it hit Foster in the hands and then fell to the turf for an incomplete pass. McCloud recovered from some of his earlier drops to snare a nice touchdown in the final session. Allen worked exclusively with the third-team again today, and the last time he saw first-team reps was last Thursday. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2018/8/6/17655694/buffalo-bills-training-camp-recap-august-6-nathan-peterman-stars-josh-allen-aj-mccarron 1
hemma Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Thursday should be fun. Given that the OL is still getting its legs and that Peterman seems to get rid of it a bit quicker, I think he starts over McCarron.
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 1 hour ago, whatdrought said: I am at the point where I really want to see Allen get a full days rep with team 1. Let him show what he can do with the big boys. While I agree, McDermott and Beane have said that they have a plan they are sticking with, and it is not going to change until the 1st preseason game. I have to imagine this is why they are keeping Allen with the third team for now, because McCarron and Peterman really are not blowing me away. 1 hour ago, 26CornerBlitz said: So...the QB put the ball through a tight window for a touchdown? Why are you getting negative about this?

I’m as hopeful as the next guy, I think he will shine. Just had to throw it out there because a naysayer would have jumped all over the opportunity. 1
blacklabel Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 1 hour ago, WhitewalkerInPhilly said: Jeez, we have to put Allen back with the 1s and 2s for a bit. These WRs are brutal Exactly what I was thinking. Dude needs to get some time with guys that won't drop the friggin' ball so easily. I'm sure there's some adjustment on the receivers part in catching passes from Allen as he has a ton of zip on his throws but this is the NFL, if it's in their range, they gotta come down with it.

You want the QB to make tight window throws that give receivers chances to make plays.

Well...welcome to close contested throws. I felt like he was being overly negative. Not you 26 1

Allen slinging it and Daboll going full pit bull on those youngings running the wrong routes and dropping passes. 1

Regardless of what happens, Allen's presence will make all the preseason games more entertaining/must watch TV than normal. 1

Regardless of what happens, Allen's presence will make all the preseason games more entertaining/must watch TV than normal. I was just talking to someone about how I’m usually anxious and impatient for real games to start this time of the year, but this year strangely looking forward to the preseason. There a lot of questions to answer. I’m of the mindset that the defense will be very good this year and I’m cautiously optimistic that one of these guys can separate himself and be a serviceable starter. 2

aristocrat Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 I think it's gonna be AJ for the first four games hoping to get us 2-2 with some safe qb play and then Allen for the titans game at home.
