I thought I heard that his short area shuttles were very fast. Wouldn't hurt to have a 6'3" WR in the slot on certain downs. His Three cone drill was extraordinarily average, which is a good test of your agility Shuttle time was a little better in the 75th percentile

I love me some Lil' Dirty but as a slot receiver he isn't fit to carry Cole Beasley's shoestrings let alone his jockstrap. He's getting better (McKenzie I mean) but it says it all that the Bills felt Beasley on a broken leg > McKenzie This. I mean, my goodness (and not to be a schmuck), but is anyone looking at CB fast twitch in first 2-3 yd off the line? It's beyond ridiculous. The symbiosis w SD is brutal for opposing Ds. To say nothing of his preternatural skill in settling into an open zone, or carrying his route a few steps (deep or short) to give JA17 an open lane. I'll be a contrarian (flames a' coming!) and say I cannot even believe we're talking about this. In this sense: the Bills KNOW what they have in this guy and--whatever the hell it may be--they'll ensure he's a contributing team member this year, via whatever means available. 1

To me, the guy is a warrior who played through a broken leg, so being injured but still suiting up and playing well is the whole best ability is availability thing. https://heavy.com/sports/buffalo-bills/cole-beasley-could-be-surprise-cut/ USAToday ranked the top slot recievers and A Buffalo Bill placed 7th, but it was Mckenzie not Cole that go the nod from Doug Farrar. I actually found it odd that jarvis Landry was not on this list more than Cole not being on the list, but ... https://touchdownwire.usatoday.com/lists/nfl-best-slot-receivers-tyreek-hill-keenan-allen-juju-smith-schuster/ I Like Isaiah a lot, but when it is crunch time, Josh looks for one of three people to make a play, Stefon, Cole, and himself with his legs). I do not see us letting either Cole or Isaiah go this year. Next year, well maybe next year.

I said call was a good wide receiver whenever he came in from Dallas when people were calling him a jag Having said that if things go south because he comes up Covid positive and takes players down with him this board is going to get really ugly Edited July 24, 2021 by John from Riverside 1 1

Sanders. No chance IMO. Sanders’ versatility will come in handy especially when or if players start getting injured. If Diggs goes down, he’s the only guy I feel comfortable with sliding into the #1 spot.

I like Isaiah a lot too, but he just doesn’t have the frame to be a 50-55+ catch kind of guy. He is a splash player. If you can get him in space via design plays, he can be a valuable contributor. I think he can get you maybe 40-45 catches a year, which is about his max, I think. That’s still valuable given his skill set though, given that he’s an athletic marvel and can take it to the house on any given play and he must be accounted for, but he has a very small frame/bone structure, he can easily get hurt. If used tastefully he is a very solid #4 and I hope the Bills hang onto him, at the right price.

I don’t see Isaiah as a natural route runner, nor do I see him as being big enough to break free from physical press corners and once again he has a very slight athletic build and small bone structure. I don’t see his body as big enough to handle the abuse of 68 catches. I kind of see him as a Roscoe Parrish type of player except Roscoe may have actually been a wee bit bigger.

How did we go from McKenzie being on the bubble to him supplanting the best slot WR in the NFL? It's madness. 1

Mat68 Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 Beasley is good. Tough catches hes money. I think usage is a big impact on his play. Mckenzie adds a differant dimension to the position. I do believe Beaselys overall impact on the success of the offense is over stated. Give Mckenzie the same targets I think the difference in production would be slim. Allen is going to inflate some wr numbers. Beasley IMO is over playing his hand. He is not bigger than Mcdermotts process. He either gets on the train or he will be left at the tracks.

The team has been fairly clear that they want to keep things in house and avoid making this a distraction and he's repeatedly disregarded that, now agree or don't with his opinion but McDermott isn't going to like being ignored.

Well if McDermott gets rid of Beasley for making his own health decisions that would make him ######ed. 1
