If true, sounds like Josh lost confidence in Gabe and McKenzie.

just say you’re still mad about the vax already 😂😂

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.

[YoloinOhio]

Another piece to this is that Gabe and McKenzie have both said that Beasley was their mentor with route running and everything else. He might help them too by being back.

Good. I said it earlier in the week that Allen needs those 7 to 10 yard completions that move the sticks. Beasley will be a key addition moving forward. Not only will he give Allen a reliable target but he could really open up some intermediate stuff in our passing game for Davis, Diggs, Knox, etc.

Love this. Welcome back Mr Third Down

If he retires at halftime I’m gonna be pissed!

This is fantastic news.

 

He immediately becomes the #2 WR on this team.

Is he still missing his tooth?

Well that probably means it's McKenzies last year with the Bills. Oh well. At least Beasly can make tough catches. Hope he keeps quite for the rest of the run. Reports will be targeting the sound bites from him. I do appreciate that we are at least trying to fix an issue.

[Magox]

This talk about Beasley not being good after the catch doesn't jive with facts.  Beasley when he was last in a uniform led the team in yards after catch average.   Second in yards after catch in yards just behind Diggs who had a lot more receptions.

Love it! Just what this team needs.  Deal with its demons... Heal...

This is a great proactive move. If he's got nothing left he stays on the practice squad and we "lose" nothing. 

 

I think there was something about the timing routes and work over the middle for high completion attempts that got Josh in rythm and sparked the offense. 

 

If he's 75% of what he was in his last year this was still worth a shot imo

 

 

Many of our successful drives last year began with a Beas catch. Completely agree with the rhythm. Even physically limited, Beas can be an asset to this team.

John Brown. Cole Beasley. Lordy. None of this bodes well.

Ya gotta wonder how out of shape OBJ was if the Cowboys and Bills both went and got other players. Sheeesh

 

Has nothing to do with kind of shape he's in, he blew up his knee in February. It took Tre a full calendar year to come back, OBJ was not going to be ready to play this year.

Love it!!!! McKenzie is awful

They can take the flier. I am not saying they absolutely shouldn't do it. I'm saying it won't succeed. I don't think there is anything left beyond a bloke who can catch 3-5 yard passes and fall over on the spot. 

We’re in America.  No such thing as a bloke.

I agree Mckenzie is just not consistent enough and Allen knew it and pushed for this move.   It could be OJB told Allen he was not signing with Bills,  me thinks he will sign with Giants for off the field endorsement money/attention

He loves Bease. And McKenzie is not getting cut. Might see a drop in targets but bease could help in the long run, he’s his mentor. He talked a lot about it on his Ty Dunne show
