Ford >> Settle.  I don't get why he hasn't seen the field. He had a good game against TB 

 

McDermott believes in Settle more.

Shorter looks like a possession receiver at worst, but I'll take a WR who can keep the chains moving or keep the yards-to-go low. His hands strike me as being good in open space and decent when challenged. Route running on short to intermediate routes appears to be one of his stronger attributes; doesn't look like a speed demon, but he's gotten on top of his man a few times in his highlights.

 

It'll be interesting to see how he produces if given an opportunity to be on the field with the other guys on offense. Gabe Davis just doesn't separate easily or regularly enough, at over 6'3", Shorter could make life easier for him and Diggs if he can add to the receptions count.

 

If there's anybody that can make Shorter look better than advertised--- if his highlight attributes hold up--- it's Josh Allen.

It would be good to see if he can play.  If the Bills are out of it by the time the last two games roll around, an audition would be good.  As long as they are alive for the playoffs, though, he sits. imho.

Sherfield has done nothing why not give Shorter a look

Sherfield had a big gain this weekend. Not saying Shorter can't do it but Josh liked Trent in the preseason and I'd rather have guys Josh trusts in. Shorter can develop chemistry and play next year if/when we lose Davis.

Don’t forget shorters, ability to play specialties that might come into factor

If we are annoyed with our receivers inconsistent hands, Justin Shorter is not the solution you are seeking.

Awesome…just in time for the team to get false ideas about him being a number 2 and bail on drafting a wr in the first round this year!

 

now we can draft another DL  in the first!!

On special teams?  Doesn’t Sherfield play on all 4 units?  
 

Haters are going to hate.

 

Go Bills!
