BillsDad51 Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Nice article about Davis in today's Buffalo News. Details his offseason workouts. One surprise nugget at end: Prior to training camp, he want to California to work out with Josh, Kyle Allen and Matt Barkley. Also in attendance were Damien Harris, Sherfield and Shakir. First I've heard of Allen working out on his own with offensive mates. 3 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 was this before he was traded? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First I've heard of Allen working out on his own with offensive mates. This was the sort of thing I explicitly hear about Mahomes and was hoping, but could not clarify, that Josh does as well. I'm also hoping Josh's comments about his offseason diet are deflections as well, and the dude is making sure he's a finely tuned machine. From reports he has been good so I assume he is always keeping up on his mechanics etc. I got a little spooked juxtaposing the bussin' with the boys interview with Pat training his weak side scramble throw power to be equal to his right etc. Wondering if our QB was keeping up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BananaB Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Was it any different then the Embedded episode hyping him up last season? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCofNC Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) I’m sure THIS year is different. People were slobbing all over him for his great off season last year, dude still couldn’t catch a cold in December. Call me when he gets his hands right and quits trying to clap fastballs.

Charles Romes Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 There were many reports last summer about how great his off-season was. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billieve420 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 FO still high on Davis. Only thing that concerns me is that he gets dinged up a lot. He started season well enough last year then suffered ankle injury and tailed off. Heading into FA can Davis stay healthy and have big year.

akcash Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I think the number for Davis is $11-12 mil a years. That would slot him by Jakobi Meyers, Allen Lazard, Michael Gallup, Corey Davis. I would say thats about what he is. I think the Bills would be thrilled to have him for a contract like that. I would be down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jabber Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Way too early for the offseason hype train. Let’s see how Davis is doing in the season half of the season before giving him tons of praise. If the Bills start bringing in FA WR’s again in November/December, then all this offseason hype is for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be down. As soon as I saw Lazard's deal with the Jets I felt that was the starting point for any Davis contract. With the way contracts work out I see that number rising a bit for next season so $13-14M is probably the starting point...if he has a typical season. If he steps it up he'll possibly command more. And someone (not Buffalo) will pay it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I don't want to read too much into one training camp report, but Joe Buscaglia's report today said Davis caught 50% of his targets; on one he let Dane Jackson break up a pass that hit his hands, on another he caught an accurate ball but failed to keep his second foot in bounds. And that is basically a microcosm of the player he was last year. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not going to read much into the first few days of camp, but yeah, if he can’t be consistent, I’m happy to have him take his money from another club next season.

At least the day I was at camp, Gabe had Tre turned around and beat him on back to back 1-1 reps. Although Tre still doesn't look the same to me...just a step behind his all-pro days, hopefully I'm wrong on that. All that to say, I think the biggest observations about Gabe so far: 1. he looks noticably quicker/faster coming out of breaks and 2. leaner build (likely helping with previous), appears to be carrying less weight Hopefully translates to staying healthy/avoiding the recurring ankle injuries. I definitely think he "bulked" too much last offseason. Obviously he's never been a twitchy type receiver, but similar to James Cook...both guys caught my attention for looking faster this year (I'd add Shakir to that list too).

BillsDad51 Posted July 31, 2023 Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 To clarify: I know Josh has worked out on his own with teammates in previous years. I hadn't seen any reports of him doing it this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that what @HappyDays is saying is that the only place where he's looked like a changed man is in perception drummed up by an article. He hasn't stood out in practice.......where a vet like Stef Diggs has.........and that's all we have to go on. The reports have been that he hasn't been targeted much and that Allen hasn't even been looking his way.......which would make sense because Allen struggled when targeting Davis last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
