Can anyone honestly claim to have seen ScottLaw and Thad Brown in the same room, at the same time? 🤔

Crowder is gonna find himself on the outside looking in if he doesn't get on the field.

Do you do a special program or something to get ready for training camp? Like, two-a-days working your twitter and internet digits? Stretching exercises to prevent carpal tunnel? Maybe even carb loading!

 

Seriously, thanks for making this a spot I can came and get pretty much all I need.

Maybe self preservation.  He started with the third team day 1.  Mckenzie is quickly becoming the slot.  Not playing with Allen doesnt help beating out one of Allens guys.  I think its very quickly becoming Diggs, Davis, Mckenzie, Shakir, Kumerow and Austin.  I think Austin takes over the return and Mckenzie role if Mckenzie wins slot.

I’d cut Kumerow over Crowder all day everyday.

On WGR this morning Sal was asked about the possibility of Crowder being cut. He said that Bean commented that the top 53 would put them over the cap. So, he was speculating that based on where they are now Crowder could be a casualty if he doesn't turn it around soon. Not sure that I buy it as they can do other things to free up cap space. That being said, I see many say cut Kumerow instead of Crowder. If Crowder is behind McKenzie, Austin, Shakir as the number four slot receiver whereas Kumerow is one of the key special teams players and the number 3 (?) outside receiver, I don't see them keeping Crowder over Kumerow. Especially if Cook gets may of the touches that the slot receiver has gotten the last couple of years.

This is what it looks like to me as well. 
 

Austin sounds like he’s shown a few things so far.  Same with Shakir.  And McKenzie seems to be taking his opportunity and running with it.  
 

If all that continues, big if, I could see Crowder as a cut and the Bills going with Diggs, Davis, McKenzie, Shakir, Austin and Kumerow.   Potentially Stevenson if he can show anything as an outside WR.

Rolling with that seems like a mistake…..I’d take my chances with plugging Crowder outside and keeping the more dynamic WR over keeping Jake Kumerow because he’s the only other listed outside WR(a journeyman scrub at that) and special teams reasons…. Anyway, that receiver depth chart looks pretty meh if even one injury hits.

You don't say?!?!

Yikes.

 

A #1.......an unproven #2...........two #5's...........and two veteran practice squad level receivers.

 

I'll believe McKenzie has elevated his game when I see it in games..............and they REALLY need Shakir to play like a 2nd rounder if that's the top 6.

Not sure how you can really put stock into anything Austin shows at camp…he’s been in the league long enough and we all know who he is. Him in training camp is fools gold IMO.

Agreed. They would be nuts rolling the dice on Austin to cut Crowder.

the wide receiver group is what im least worried about. its the position group the bills have an abundance of talent in. im not worried if crowder gets cut. i just hope we keep the trio of lil dirty, gabe, and diggs.

I get what you’re saying but keeping and plugging Crowder in as a backup X/Z to Diggs and Davis seems a bit risky as well as he seems like almost exclusively a slot.

Yes. Scrub depth.

Really?  Ya think?

They’re going to base their decision on training camp.  If crowder beats Austin out, he’ll have the job.  If he doesn’t earn it, he’ll be cut.  As he should.  He’s often injured and already injured.  Earn it.

I think we may have an abundance of talent… For the life of me, I don’t get why people gush over our WR room (at the moment). 
 

Diggs - elite

 

Davis - could be a 1A, but we’ll see

 

That’s it in terms of guys I’m completely sold on. 

 

…………

 

McKenzie - Decent role player

 

Shakir - Intriguing Rookie

 

Crowder - Good slot WR, hurt a lot 

 

Austin - ???

 

Stevenson - ???

 

Kumerow - No

 

Could they be great?  Yea, absolutely.  There’s certainly potential, but the reason people fear this passing game is 80% Allen, 20% WR’s, currently.

Why is Elam tackling people when they are practicing without pads? 🤔 

 

Thanks Thad.
