Shaw66 Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 I haven't seen the games, so I know less than most. Beasley, Brown and Roberts seem like the only locks. We saw very little of Jones and Foster recently. McKenzie, Ray Ray and Williams each has had some highlights. Of those 5, some may useful special teamers. Some may have modest trade value. Jones and Foster have the best experience. Is it a total muddle? And for that matter, the running back spots are confused, too, principally because Wade keeps making big plays. Does he actually have a shot at the 53? Will he take Yeldon's spot? Does Yeldon actually HAVE a spot?
djp14150 Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 I look st it and say the team has 2 qb 9 OL 13 WR/TE/RB 1 Returner on D 8 DL 6 LB 1 OLB/DE 10 DB 3 ST..k, p, ls for recrivers 4 RB 5 WR 3 TE 1 returner (WR) 1 best player left i don’t see the bed to keep a FB. Use a TE in this role. 1 bext left 1 1

MAJBobby Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 Taking 6. And after week two this is what I am thinking Brown Jones Foster Beasley Roberts so comes down to size or shiftiness Williams - Size McCloud - Shiftiness Also could very well keep and Extra WR to start season depending on Kroft Kroft - PUP Knox Sweeney so do you cut Lee Smith for an extra WR spot?

Personally I have McKenzie ahead of both Duke and Ray Ray. Of the 3 Ray appears 3rd in line for me after Duke and McKenzie. My guess is we keep 6 WR Brown Beasley Zay Foster Roberts McKenzie Edited August 18, 2019 by DJB 11 1
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 Yeldon is toast. I sure hope they keep Wade on the 53. I think there is a reasonably good chance (50/50) Gore is cut or McCoy is traded or possibly cut. Where exactly has John Brown been? I believe he has two targets and 1 catch in two pre-season games with a goose egg in the last game. I'm sure his spot is safe, but he has seen very little action. I didn't think it was possible at first but I just don't see the value in keeping Zay Jones. He's being consistently outplayed or at least matched by guys drafted much lower than him. If he were not a high draft pick it wouldn't even be a debate about whether he would be cut or not. Maybe they try work a trade for him as it is likely another team could see value in him still and think they can get more out of him. Maybe Washington or the New York Giants? Send Washington Zay and a 2nd rounder for Trent Williams?
Mrbojanglezs Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 Am I crazy for wanting Duke on the team over Zay? Duke looks like he has way better hands for contested catches over the middle. 11 3

I think McCloud is 3rd for that final spot. McKenzie can play special teams, so I think that ultimately gives him the edge over Duke. 2 minutes ago, Mrbojanglezs said: Am I crazy for wanting Duke on the team over Zay?

I'm thinking Zay has to have trade value still though.

Duke looks like he has way better hands for contested catches over the middle. I'd at least like to see him with the 1s to see if he can make those catches against legit competition. I'd like to see McKenzie get some starting time too. Allen and Zay don't have any kind of consistent rapport so there's no harm in trying other combinations. 1
BobChalmers Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) For all the haters on our leading WR the past two seasons, would't it be even more sensible to question Foster at this point? What's he done this preseason/camp? If you go back and watch Allen's highlights from 2018, you will see a string of great Zay Jones plays in there - they aren't giving up on him any time soon.

I don't see them letting Zay go. Edited August 18, 2019 by ddaryl

What's he done this preseason/camp? Fair point. But Foster has at least played at a high level in the league for a six or seven game stretch. I'm not sure Zay has even put together a solid 4 game stretch. And he has had two full years to try to put together a good stretch of games. Plus, Foster's seems to really only have one other player on the roster that does what he does, John Brown. Brown goes down with an injury then we have nobody. Zay does similar things as Beasley, McKenzie and McCloud. He has more competition.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 Just now, Logic said: I'm not really sure why the Bills would want to trade away their leader in touchdown receptions from last year for a late round pick. Seems like bad business. But did he dominate in TD receptions? Who's to say Brown, Beasely, any of the three young WR's we could keep or the new TE wouldn't put in 7 or 8 TD's if they were targeted as much as Zay? And Zay had a very low catch rate when thrown too. For whatever reason it just doesn't seem like things work out well when we target Zay a ton. I mean look at Beasely the other night. The guy hasn't even been here for one full camp and he catches everything Allen throws at him. It feels like both Zay and the Bills need a mutual divorce at this point. 3
