I don't think the team can carry 7 WRs. The options are * cut Fromm and hope he can be added to PS * cut Roberts and hope McKenzie and Gabe can do KR and PR Imo cut TE and WR. That plan was tripped up by the injury to Kroft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
947 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I think McKenzie is cut. The "gadget" role is a remnant of when we didn't have the weapons to run a modern NFL offense & needed to use smoke & mirrors. Those days are gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts exactly Jake Fromm #10 Not much in the video to say why it was so horrible It was tipped. If you slow it down you see it leave his hand in a tight spiral and then starts wobbling. 47 minutes ago, ganesh said: 3 QBs, 4 RBs, 4 TE, 7WR, 9 OL = 27 how do it trim it to 26 or 25 ?

They could go 6 WRs or roll with 8 OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I would bet that most teams are keeping 3 QB's this year, including the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transplantbillsfan Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I'm confused. I thought yesterday was the last day of media coverage for practice until the regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

716er Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Neither Hodgins or Davis had a single career rush in college. McKenzie is the sweep guy.. but it could behoove the Bills to groom Davis or Hodgins for that role if possible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither Davis nor Hodgins are suited to those plays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In last 2 years he had 15 carries for 123 yds, better than McKenzie's 19 for 119 yds. Andre Roberts can also serve in the sweep role. With Diggs or Roberts in there, teams won't be able to key on them running like they do when McKenzie is in. I see McKenzie and Hodgins in a battle for backup slot position. Roberts can play outside or slot and his KR/PR duties make him an almost lock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, some clarification needed here as now I am confused. Z receiver is the slot receiver. And I believe they may use Hodgins as a Big Slot per Erik Turner at Cover 1. Like Gailey used David Nelson. https://www.cover1.net/isaiah-hodgins-buffalo-bills-roster-wide-receiver/ Big Slot This is a role Bills fans have been clamoring for, and if they can acclimate Hodgins to the NFL quickly, then I could see him being their big-bodied target that can slide inside and do damage. The 6-foot-4 receiver has the size to mix it up with linebackers and strong safeties, but he needs to bulk up just a tad more to hold his own consistently. But what Hodgins does really well is run some of those tight end-type routes over the middle — but he understands how to find soft spots in zones. He is so good at getting to his landmark within the route concept but then adjusting and becoming QB-friendly. He routinely “runs to green” or locks eyes with his QB to get onto the same page in order to uncover. Playing this role will be an adjustment because it wasn’t his full-time role at Oregon State. Over the last two years, Hodgins has only been targeted 39 times in the slot, registering 408 yards and five touchdowns to go along with zero drops. Offensive coordinator Brian Daboll dabbled with the big slot role with Duke Williams in 2019. Williams was in the slot 44.4% of the time in his limited usage last year, where he was targeted six times, catching three for 18 yards but also dropping a pass.
