Game Day Thread? Colts @ Bills

[Warriorspikes51]

Oliver DaQuan Ford Phillips Settle is a really solid rotation if/when all are healthy

 

Ankou and Boughton also looked good and would be nice PSquad adds

I'd think about Fitzy but I just saw him in the crowd and he has really let himself go.

 

  I like Fitzpatrick, so I hope he stays retired.  Hope he has few issues from the injuries he's had playing football.

Diggs

Davis

Sherfield

Harty

Shakir

 

Shorter

Shavers / Isabella / Ateman / Patmon

Not sure what people see in shakir besides ' I liked him last year and don't want to be wrong'

Beane won’t swallow a draft pick so quickly. He’ll suck that egg. Sounds like the Harty/Isabella competition got a little tighter though which is a good thing. 

For that reason shorter won't be cut either

I missed much of the 2nd half. Just checking to see if there were any injuries?

DJ Dale got hurt on a sack, walked off on his own but said they were doing xrays,  Tommy Doyle got rolled up on.

I think Gilliam could be “RB4” and “TE3”

Will be very interesting to see what they do at WR. I think Sherfield is a lock. Wouldn't be surprised if any of Shakir Isabella or Shorter get cut.

I was not impressed with Sherfield (couldn't get off the line when pressed).

Tommy Doyle got rolled up on during his first series. He finished the drive but did not return after that.

I was trying to explain that endzone to my wife. On a windy day the wind blows in both directions at once. If you kick it left it goes left, if you kick it right it goes right.

 

You'd think a team would spend some money wind modeling their home stadium so they'd  have that advantage regardless of conditions.

 Tyler bass and all of the bills kickers have historically kicked very good at home

 

Cuz they can practice at the stadium and get used to the pattern

 

It's the opposing kickers who come here that struggle

"It was a 3 hour storm that lasted 40 minutes."

 

Thanks Steve.

Maybe not a good announcer but Taskerisms are gold.

Thank you. I heard in the background that Dale had bruised ribs and back

Can’t see them cutting Harty with that contract.  

He did w OJ Howard.

Harty and Isabella are not competing.

 

isabella is fighting for WR6-7 at best

 

harty is fighting for share of reps in WR3-5 and essentially guaranteed a spot and being game day active

Last year, we really wanted someone that could replace Beasley as that guy who found open zones on 3rd down, and that’s who Shakir was thought to be.  
 

With Kincaid on the team, Sherfield and Harry seemingly locked in, Shakir is fighting for a starting job. 
 

Considering where he was drafted and the lack of trade value, I don’t see Beane moving on.  Especially since Gabe could be gone after this year

The problem was never the motor... it was the transmission.

Lmao...that was great! And accurate 

[Franco_92]

We shouldn't be looking for anything out of Harty other than making sure he doesn't pull a hammy

 

Even if he doesn't become the returner they have a role for him in this offense IMO

Isabella could earn a spot on special teams alone.  We don’t need to carry a 5th rb on this roster anymore for special teams, so that spot could go to a receiver. 
 

Diggs, Davis, Sherfield, Harty, Shakir, and Isabella could happen.

that would qualify as fighting for WR6 and not against harty

 

sending shorter to PS and a better special teamer to the last active spot wouldn’t be unheard of

Yea Shorter showed nothing.
