Jerry Jabber Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 Every year, we hear about some players that looked great in OTA’s/minicamp, but disappear in training camp/preseason. We also have some players that look great in the preseason (Trent Edwards, Nathan Peterman come to mind), but look terrible in the regular season. Who could fit that criteria this year? Duke Williams? Gabriel Davis? Isaiah Hodgins? I know this year, it’s going to be a lot harder to determine you just looks good now, versus the regular season. IMO, with no preseason, the Bills are going to have a harder time determining who they should keep, who gets put on the practice squad and who gets released.
Warcodered Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) I don't really get the point of doing this. But I guess yeah Duke and Hodgins mostly because one isn't making the 53 and the other will be inactive. Edited August 25, 2020 by Warcodered 1

The point of practicing getting kicked like that is to toughen up the old gonads so it doesn't hurt when you get kicked in the jewels. Same as when you toughen your hands by repeatedly hitting a sand bag to deaden the hand. Edited August 25, 2020 by heavydutyrudy 1

Steve Billieve Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 It doesn't seem like we have any over-hyped player. I'm thinking its a symptom of us actually being good. We're definitely putting a lot of faith in Singletary and Diggs but I don't think either would qualify.
JoPoy88 Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 I mean no preseason so it’s a lot harder to tell but from the camp reports I suppose it would be Gabe Davis. Looks real good, may be trash. and hopefully Duke gets cut so i never have to hear from his deranged fans ever again. 1 1
GunnerBill Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 From what Sal has said on WGR the second best QB in camp has been Davis Webb. He almost certainly isn't making the team. So maybe he counts here? 6
Rocky Landing Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 I'm not sure if this applies to this thread, or not, but Moss has been compared to Barry Sanders on this site, and from one comment made by Diggs, Hodgins is utterly NFL-ready. Maybe more to the point of this thread, I'll bet that if this were a normal year, Dane Jackson would be turning heads, and might be this year's David Sills. 1

Augie Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 It’s hard to get too hyped up about any one guy with no preseason games and so little news from camp. What a strange year..... They are supposed to have a great game against future truck drivers and gym teachers before we go all crazy with HOF expectations. 1
GreggTX Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 I don't see Davis displacing any of the top 3 WR's so his snaps will be limited. That's not to say he won't be good or even great, but he'll probably have to wait for his chance.
ColoradoBills Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 Every year forward with this regime pushes those bad times farther back. There are less and less "gaping holes" on this team for fans to need to cling onto a couple of camp reports like in the past. As cliche as it sounds, "Steel is sharpening steel".
RoyBatty is alive Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 I agree with MajBobby, I think Josh norman is done. I also think Hauschka is done as a Bill.

Watched his entire college career in person and he was a really good player. Tore his ACL either junior or senior year and just didn’t have the speed after that to cut it at the next level. Too bad, I think he could have been like a 2nd-3rd round pick if that hadn’t happened.
machine gun kelly Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 Out, Duke, Foster, and Hauschka are gone. I don’t know if you can characterize anyone as flashes as there are no pre-season games so you only get these little blurbs from camp, and the beat reporters can’t really say much Or elude to position battles, etc. I understand why, and the rules this year makes sense, but how do you really come up with an accurate assessment. 1
