Simon Says Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 Could you be more specific than "kick returner "? Kickoff and punt returns are different and I'm curious about who the candidates are for each. Patmon returning kicks? Interesting as he is one of the Bills large receivers at about 6-4 220. Quote

Expand From the article: "Darrynton Evans then Andy Isabella got the first punts of the practice. For Kick Return it’s Harty then Evans. Evans gets a squib kick, pausing only briefly to secure it better. The next is an onside kick. No kicks into the end zone. The Chiefs kick will echo in our heads forever and ever and ever." 1 Quote
BUFFALOTONE Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 That double reverse to Josh where he got laid out should never be run again...wtf Dorsey? 1 1 1 1 Quote
Augie Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 Some players look much bigger in pads. “There is no helping Andy Isabella.” 😂 5 Quote
KingBoots8 Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 I love reading these, but I have to ask why he mentions “catch of the day” so many times. I feel like it should be used once. “All these plays are great, but in my opinion the catch of the day belongs to __________.” Makes more sense than saying it 4+ times and being left to think it over. 1 Quote
BillsFanForever19 Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 Khalil Shakir is consistently taking #1 Slot reps but to some fans of this board he's not a lock to make the roster and "has to earn it". 3 1 1 Quote

Augie Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 Why does it have to be so hard for someone like Astro, who is providing a widely enjoyed public service to fans, to hard to get practice tickets? I realize he’s not Peter King, but I bet more of us know more about Astro’s views than Peter King’s. And, as a “real Bills fan”, he’s more informed with deeper insights into our issues. It just shouldn’t be so hard, IMO. 4 Quote

But I agree, if he’s doing bills fans a huge favor with his reporting, he should have tickets. I sure do appreciate his work. 1 Quote

Sucks that Hines got hurt but the Bills have numerous return candidates. The new kickoff rule might soften the loss of Hines. 1 Quote

Tyreek Hill is one of the most feared players in the league and it's not because of his size. Quote

Expand Stating the obvious, but alot of fans have problems understanding that players can "improve". Year 1 to Year 2, Year 2 to 3, etc. It's not linear growth, and past comparisons or LYs production gets stuck in their minds. Failing to see that most all NFL teams are relying/going through the same thing...at various positions. Shakir looked good, from what I saw and noted. He and Cook were 2 of the most improved players on offense. Defensively, Settle looks alot quicker. From how they are mixing up looks on DL, Groot as the 3T and Floyd at DE during obvious passing downs will cause alot of teams headaches. Especially when Von returns on the other side Quote
