Austin will be lucky to make the roster…

An overrated “need” by Bills fans… Only way I see Austin making the team is if they cut Kumerow for him.

Expand  

They need someone with reliable hands and decision making like Hyde but who can be a threat to improve the the field position on a semi regular basis.  Hyde is too valuable at safety to have him taking kick return hits.  An improvement there is easier talk about than find, imo.  That one klutzy KOR by McKenzie vs. the Colts where he stumbled, fell and fumbled without being touched seemed to spook McDermott.  I think the stumble happened due to the crown of the field as Isaiah suddenly started heading "uphill."  That was my thought at the time.

Both McKenzie and Austin will be on the roster. We are likely keeping 7WRs. 

 

Diggs

Davis

Crowder

McKenzie

Austin

Shakir

Hodgins/Kumerow

If they keep 7, I agree. But we don't usually keep 7.

I think we go with the same mindset as last year when we kept 7. As much as I like McKenzie, Austin is a better punt returner. I’m the even that we only keep 7, that would likely mean a cut between McKenzie, Crowder,’and Shakir. Because I’m not sure either of those guys can play ST as well as Kumerow, but maybe I’m wrong. Those 3 WRs are just to good to cut. Which is why I think we roll with 7.

It’s just crazy to think how good this team might be.  The roster just seems loaded.

It’s the same with people crapping on Hodgins. By all accounts, Austin and Hodgins stock has been up. Austin has raked in 4 TDs already.

Oh geez...I'm also thirsting for as much Bills news as possible, but when you start quoting "stats" with guys wearing helmets and shorts I really have to draw the line.

I agree, but I thought it was note worthy. Nobody else was doing that, so it stood out.

Best news to come out of any OTA/minicamp:  nobody got hurt.  That's about it.

If for nothing else, it shows that he’s hungry.

I'm eh on Hodgins he's been good in the offseason before but can't get through it healthy and get on the field in the season.

If it was Davis had 4 TDs, the narrative would be he’s going to destroy the league this year and everyone would be clapping for it. I’m just giving credit where credit is due. 

I mean, why didn’t Shakir have 4 TDs, afterall it’s basically meaningless and everyone should be doing it. Right?

I have to disagree here. Couple reasons, one being if it was Davis (or Diggs etc) with 4 TD's in this situation it wouldn't be any different. It's basically nothing to start getting excited about or anything like that. I mean it's just exercise time pretty much. Also it's known what Davis brings to the table at this point. 

 

As other poster stated, best news is no fluke injuries.

Dude you can NOT be serious with quote?!?!?!?  They NEED a returner...it isn't overrated and the coaching staff is more than aware they NEED a returner.  Step away from the crack man....it ain't a good look on you.

Expand  

 

Scott's hoping Austin doesn't make the team so he can continue to say they did nothing on offense.

So is Tre White practicing??

Expand  

 

6 months into a doctor preferred 9 month recovery? That would be begging for a re-tear. He won't be practicing until the end of the Pre-Season, if we're lucky.

So far. Speculation from Cover 1 is that they will alternate days holding in practice.
