No, it’s Bojorquez that’s left footed. * And it seems the thread is indicating ‘no Croom can catch’. Someone please retrieve my comma. Edited August 17, 2019 by Ridgewaycynic2013

This would be my preferred day 1 WR corps, but I have to admit Foster is really disappointing me this year. I thought he had a lot to build on at the end of last season but he's completely disappeared. If he ends up not making the team I won't be all that surprised.

On just about any position the same carries true.

Buffarukus Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) as for zay...some people are acting as if fans don't understand that rookies take time to develope. a wide reciever that has issues catching passes directly in his hands is a huge issue. nerves for a game or two but after that you need to perform the prime function of your job dependably. maybe you will never develop a full route tree, be in sync with your qb or o coordinator..but catching a good pass? the leash should be short on that and we are going in to year 3. want a lb that cant reliably tackle? a qb that cant throw straight? if passes routinly werent close to zay we can argue about who and why thats happening but when they are in his chest it gets pretty tiring to see the drops continue.

transplantbillsfan Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 At this point, Zay. Beane has talked up the kid so much, it would be a surprise based on that. Based on his play, not so much. Duke Williams started making his push for Zay's roster spot with last night's performance, though. 2

Was great to see him go up top and snag that TD pass. He had a few other catches in the slant. But overall, I thought he did very well. Gona make tough decisions for the coaches here very soon.

Hardly a “top player on their roster” Over valuing a guy with his drop rate and pedestrian production is “the most hilarious thing I’ve ever seen”(which it’s honestly not, but since we’re going to really overstate our case here, you must not watch many funny things). 1
Codyny13 Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 For everyone saying Haushka gets cut...who do you replace him w at this time?
skibum Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 Remind me when they usually start making the first round of cuts?
Mountain Man Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) 10 hours ago, ToddAllan said: Also, I also expect 2 or 3 surprise TRADES before the season begins. Anyone else think so? Beane could easily get a 4 - 6 round draft pick for one of their young receivers (Foster, McCloud, Phillips, McIntyre, or even Zay Jones) No one is giving a 4th or even 6th for the likes of McCloud or Phillips. Neither has done anything at all, in McCloud's he's looked terrible when he's played. Both are the wrong side of the expected 53 cut. This isn't Madden. 9 minutes ago, skibum said: Remind me when they usually start making the first round of cuts? There aren't multiple rounds any more.

Not getting separation? Not catching MOST passes thrown his way? Not strong running routes? I think I’m finally starting to understand your schitck. The BillsBlog is a meme, right? Antithesis of truth? 1
