I don't think I said anything funny Yes, i was because you dont just magically regain form by not being healthy for an entire year. Murphy tore his ACL last year in the pre season and was due to face a four game suspension for PEDs, and you just assume he needs to be healthy for the regular season and thats all. Like a switch will just flip and boom Murphy will be pefectly fine. Murphy has two, three, and nine sacks in three years with Washington. There isnt a body of work to assume Murphy will all of a sudden just become a beast without having shown the ability to get healthy, and play in live action.

Obviously he isn't as big and athletic as the ones that he is competing with but he stepped up last year when Clay got hurt. Would suck to not be able to have a roster spot for him. i agree. he did win the best te in the nation award in college and imo the more targets he gets, the better he is. he has got to be no.2 and if he's not ,it's all because of the bones new regimes have against players from the old. it can't be anything else.....and if godforbid clay went down, with no nick we suck at te....right away.

I think they will try to hold on to all three and get a trade for the loser. No point in just cutting him outright. I agree, Allen will be number two no matter what, if no other reason that to get the snaps in practice with the Bills offense.

Kelvin Benjamin 2. Andre Holmes 3. Jeremy Kerley 4. Zay Jones 5. Rod Streater 6. Brandon Reilly 7. Kaelin Clay 8. Raymond McCloud 9. Corey Coleman 10. Cam Phillips 11. Malachi Dupree 12. Robert Foster 13. Austin Proehl Are they willing to keep seven? Or will they cut the list down to as few as four? KB Zay Kerley Coleman Holmes The rest are competing for 1 or 2 spots. (IMO)

Or it could be because Thomas, Croom, and Lee are all faster, stronger, better at blocking, and have outplayed O'Leary in camp and preseason. ....Nahhhh, I'm sure you right. It's a private vendetta. Or maybe McDermott is more of an Arnold Palmer fan.

I think he lines up outside and stretches the defense vertically. With his speed he can run the go and Moss's stop go for 30 yards. Three Wr sets I think you see Kerley and Mcclud as traditional slots. I expect to see Benjamin lined up and moved around in a similar manner NE uses Gronk in passing situations. In those instances Jones or Streeter line up outside. The addition of Coleman is kind of a unheralded move but really helps define roles and options in the offense. The Wr Corp really isn't that bad. Benjamin, Coleman, Kerley, Jones, Streeter, Mcloud would be my choice.

26CornerBlitz Posted August 14, 2018 Author Posted August 14, 2018 Quarterback Things continuing to shake-up a bit with quarterback reps as we approach the second preseason game. AJ McCarron and Nathan Peterman both back on the field after injury scares Sunday afternoon. It was McCarron's turn in the rotation with the first team, but he was followed by Josh Allen running the second team and Nathan Peterman the third. This is how things were divided the entire morning, the first time ever we've seen Allen go exclusively with the 2's. While noteworthy, I won't look too far into it until after I see how the rotation shakes out Tuesday morning. Wide receiver Zay Jones fully back in the mix now after practicing for the first time this training camp without the red, non-contact jersey. He has looked good to this point and continued that wearing the blue jersey. Jones right in there with the first team, joining Kelvin Benjamin, Jeremy Kerley, and Andre Holmes. Rod Streater also seeing time with the 1's as well as even a little Kaelin Clay. Brandon Reilly missed practice yet again with a rib injury. Corey Coleman keeps learning on the fly as most of his time today was with the second team. Center The center competition continues to alternate days between Ryan Groy and Russell Bodine.

Also, in Daboll's offense I think they're looking for all of the players to be able to play the X, Y, or Z so they're all going to be versatile. I still think Holmes stays around because of ST; he's continuing to get reps with the ones as well. I agree Ray-Ray has a leg up on the competition; they really might keep only six, particularly if they keep three TEs. I'd like to see what Phillips does Friday night.

You’ve got Streater, McCloud, Reilly and Phillips competing for either one or two spots. IMO One of the "criticisms" of Jones coming out. Of the draft was that many of his record-breaking catches were short passes and bubble screens. Sounds like a perfect fit for Daboll's offense.

For sure, Daboll will be moving people around. Regarding Coleman, he hasn’t had much success over the middle in college or the pros, doesn’t seem like he like going over the middle and getting crunched. I expect to see every wr in the slot at some point based on the new offense. Can’t wait to see it in action again
