Updated Beasley signing to practice squad

[Charles Romes]

Beaze in his prime in Buffalo would occupy the defense’s #2 corner for up to the full 10 seconds of every play, and maybe a linebacker and safety.

I started a thread a few weeks ago "Would Cole Beasley Come Back to Buffalo"   after Cole told a fan he'd come back to Buffalo if asked. 

The thread was Locked.

I will now be accepting apologies

Would not be surprised if Cole and Josh have talked about this for months

 

Cole was playing injured for each of the past 2 playoff runs, and probably sick of it. Wanted a chance to go through them healthy for once

Tells me Josh has little to no faith in anyone outside of Diggs, which is a scary place to be at this point in the season.

How much faith would you have after the drop-fest last Sunday?

I am not.  He is just not very good, and was not very good for the back half of last year at least.  I watched the two games he played in Tampa.  He was awful.  Sadly many people are more in love with their idea of Beasley than the facts.

I think the Tampa situation was a combination of getting there late and not knowing the offence.

Isn’t that really all we need him to do? It’s clear McKenzie ain’t that guy. It’s clear the Bills don’t think Shakir is ready to be that guy. 
 

No one is expecting Beasley to run seam routes, if the expectation is for Beasley to be a zone beater who can find soft spots and keep us ahead of the chains by catching 6 yard passes and falling down then so be it. 
 

Shpuld I expect more out of a slot than that? Absolutely but it’s week 15, the Bills know they need help, he’s familiar with the QB and team. There aren’t better options. Even a guy like stay Hilton doesn’t fit what the Bills needed 

 

He no longer has that quick cut that meant he got the 5-10 yard catches. It is going to be catching really short stuff and going down. I'm not sure that helps that much to be honest.

No one hates the guy. But he's convinced they do.

There was an ugliness directed at the guy by some people, and that’s indisputable.  I’m not so sure about hate, but contempt certainly seems fair. 
 

He’s the same guy who just a year or two earlier was a fan favorite for moving the chains, “I love you Josh Allen”, and playing on a broken leg.   He’s also a guy who surely knows fans will support a player who has legal issues, domestic violence allegations, etc if it helps the team win.  
 

It should come as no surprise that a highly emotional guy would be upset by people more worried about a football game being played than what he perceived was his best course of action in the middle of a public health crisis.  
 

I understand the argument about keeping your private business private, and certainly understand the issues the Bills had in managing him, but it’s no secret that people turned on him.  
 

It is interesting, too, that in spite of distractions real or imagined, and the impact of culture and the like, that the Bills would welcome his return back.

If we're being honest this is a desperation move. It's not a good sign when your franchise QB is asking for washed up WRs to be added to the roster just so he has someone he can trust to throw the ball to. If Beasley can catch the ball at the 1st down marker and fall down, fine. It's just disappointing that every new player we added on offense has been underwhelming at best and every existing player we expected to step into a bigger role has failed to meet the moment.

So, would you rather they do nothing so they look better in fans eyes?

None and you could almost see it on Josh's face.

Why do you hate Beasley?

 

Add him to my list. You must have the whole roster by now?

Reggie Gilliam is hurt, what's up Pat DiMarco??

We don't need a fast Beas...but boy oh boy do we need good old "hands" Beasley.

 

We need someone to make grabs on 3 and 6 for 8 yard first downs and we need someone who will give us at least five yards on 1st down throws, too.

 

 

Move.  The.  Chains.

Guess you will be spared the lifetime TBD ban!

I was just repeating what I was told by Bills Mafia dude,  he took a beating last night and never backed off.  I suggested they do this a couple of weeks ago because guys were just not getting open and way too many drops. We will see if he kept himself in shape

Clearly OBJ isn't ready...didn't workout for anyone and Cowboys went in a different direction after being super high on him before the meeting.

The OBJ stuff was never anything other than a huge *****, courtesy of a shameless attention *****.  It’s embarrassing that Von Miller enabled and promoted it.

I can't believe it to be honest with way Beasley acted aka hating on Buffalo fans and him seemingly be a distraction for his Covid stance etc. Yet if he can contribute on the field I don't mind having him back. 

 

I think he was just probably lashing out because he had some hurt feelings. Football players are human too.

Imagine a guy getting upset with that group of "fans" who repeatedly denounced him as being ignorant, a cancer, and a murderer for not taking a vaccine that he had concerns about.

 

Go figure?

 

His problem was feeling the need to post his every waking thought on social media.  I hope he can lay off that stuff going forward.

Fans need to remember,  he did not know the Tampa offence and decided to retire.  He knows our offence very well and is well rested for stretch run

Ahhh, he knew (past tense) last year's Offence.
