Say hello to my little friend 😎

I'm no punt god, but what was striking to me watching him for the first time was how little he extends his leg. His foot barely came above his hip. Compare that to Ray Guy or some other prototypical punter.

I suppose that's why his hang time may be an issue at times (kickers please chime in)?

Elam’s performance today tells you he’s not ready ? That seems strange to me. I thought he played very soundly and looks to be right on track to start on the 8th

I think he was inconsistent.   He made some plays, but I thought he had several plays where he was late or out of position.   Not a disaster, but consistency is important to Frazier and McDermott.  That's why Levi started for the Bills over better athletes who were available in free agency.

That struck me as well. Interesting.

I think Barkley earned number 1 spot to start preseason next week ( unless McDermott wants to play Allen). Keenum needs to prove himself rest of the way for 2 spot in qbs.

At this point, early I know, I'd rather see a developmental QB on the roster vs. Keenum.

It appears that Case could use more development.

I noticed he also seemed to shy away from contact in run support. One play really stood out where he seemed to wait for Jaquon Johnson to make the tackle along the sideline instead of trying to make it himself.

[Donuts and Doritos]

Dorsey's 1st game as play caller. Wasn't the greatest offensive performance but Offense came alive late. A lot of the early struggles seemed more execution than scheme (turnovers).

I was hoping for Kyle Allen in the offseason.

He will be tested hard against the Rams BUT at least Hyde and Poyer know how to help out a rookie CB.

And a good pass rush

This one against the all-pro is even more impressive:

I think I am much more high on our  secondary than last years squad. Glad Beane addressed it and if we come away with two solid draft picks along with Tre back it’s a home run. Barring a disaster over the next two games I do not think we will be looking to bring anyone else.

 

I loved the Post Game Interview from Punt God. Seems like a great personality and for that reason along with his leg Matt Haack is the weakest link. Goodbye!

When did you become Mr. Practical? 

 

All I can say is, if I'm the voice of reason in a group, you have yourself a pretty messed up group!

[The Dean]

And based on the first preseason game of the year, I'm not too worried about Case.

Beside the pick play, in which Tasker made it out to seem Elam was responsible for the blown coverage, what other plays was Elam late on or out of position?

Ehlinger was probably the most impressive QB in today's game.

 

He was a 6th rounder last year.

 

I guess that's what the Bills were going for when they drafted Jake Fromm.

[Brand J]

I believed in Hodgins more than most, only because the early reports of him and Gabe Davis were so favorable their rookie years. Obviously those two receivers have gad much different careers up until this point, but I thought if Hodgins stayed healthy, he’d eventually make noise. Just last year McD said something to the effect of “he’s really positioning himself for a move.” Glad to see he balled out today and earned the respect of some naysayers. 
 

Also, do any of you remember Moorman’s 84 yard punt against the Packers I believe it was? His ball did roll more than Araiza’s, but it was also really impressive.

Was anything seen or heard from OJ Howard?

Keenum tried to hit him in the end zone and he was tightly covered.

You get a development QB on the practice squad.

I thought Settle was great against the run for the limited time he was in there. Bryant played well also. If Morris keeps impressing then I believe Sweeney is gone. Crowder needs to show something soon or he could be a surprise cut. Of course we dont see the practices, but with only 3 preseason games each one is critical to show what you got.
