At the very least he'll have a paycheck on the PS, with a good chance another team signs him at some point. When Blackshear and Duke get cut, I doubt very much both get picked up. There will be a lot of decent RBs getting cut in September. 1 Quote
BADOLBILZ Posted August 21, 2022 Posted August 21, 2022 Best Bills preseason game itself ever, IMO. I do miss the 90's preseason tailgates before they decided to try to make the preseason about bringing kids to games though..........it was never kid-centric before that. Back then the preseason games in Lot 1 were basically "scantily clad women" day........often a bigger party atmosphere than the regular season games. Bills have done a great job giving kids things to do more recently though.........when they first started it up kids were bored AF. Can't just say it's kids day........you gotta' make it fun for them. Also noted that reading thru some of the threads I love the people comparing players to former Bills players who wore the same number but they are like "I don't know what it is......but he reminds me so much of this guy". 3 1 1 Quote

I gasped as I thought it could be intercepted when he released it. It was absolutely a perfect route, pass and catch. Nonsense. Only Tua throws 'perfect passes'. 🤨 1 Quote

It was the one where Johnson airmailed it. If that’s Wilson it’s a 30 yard gain on the first play. He also had a Facemask penalty. He was far from perfect despite PFF 1 Quote

Before the snap he was backing off about 5 yards and then Hinton just ran a quick slant with no one there to intercept the route. And if Hinton caught it he would have gotten 12-15 yards, not 30. Seemed like the play was designed to get Edmunds in the face of the QB to disrupt the timing of the pass and that's exactly what happened. Quote

Having Von and Bruce in your camp, you cant....I can't, imagine a better situation and I am 100% sure we'll see some huge results from this over time. Thank you Bruuuuuce! 1 1 Quote

Giants already have 4-5 backs better than Blackshear or Johnson including 2 former Bills, a #2 overall pick, a draft pick from last year and they have 2 rookies/UDFAs from this year. I am not sure that the Giants need 2 more former Bills - neither of which were in Buffalo with the current HC or GM. I get the concern, but there are a butt ton of RBs around the league that are going to get cut that have as much or more overall “film” than Blackshear. 1 Quote

Arguable at best. And Breida was with Daboll last year and he barely used him. Quote

It looked like it took a “long” time to get there. LOL the DB for sure had a good 'ol try but the best he managed was "get into the same zip code" I watched Ravens vs. Cardinals last night and I found myself thinking that about almost every pass "wow, that's slow" "wow, he really had to put his whole body into that" etc Edited August 22, 2022 by Beck Water Quote

I count one that we can say is definitely better than Blackshear. Barkley. Breida might be sure. But he was awful last season save for 2 plays and has a low football IQ. williams might be. He also might not be. Maybe Sandro Platzgunmer is better? Maybe not. maybe jasaun Corbin is better? Maybe not Gary Brightwell? Not sure anyone can definitively say the Gmen have 4-5 better RBs. I don’t know anything about 3 of their 6 RBs. blackshears tape is solid and he has a nice skill set for a short passing game O, but I get why people don’t think he’ll be picked up. There are a ton of RBs out there. I understand your point. Quote

Daboll was never coach of either of these players with Buffalo. The Giants also already have Breida and Antonio Williams. So if they grab Johnson, or Blackshear - we can just grab Breida or Williams.
