HappyDays Posted June 11 Posted June 11 One more update from Matt Parrino: Quote - Really nice interception by rookie UDFA Te’Cory Couch against Buechele. He ripped the ball away from WR Xavier Johnson and the defense went nuts in celebration. - the Bills closed with two-minute offense and they started to make some plays. Important to note that the lines were playing 50% speed. Allen completed five passes to move the Bills down for a FG. - Trubisky came in & led the offense down for a TD. Claypool had a nice long catch to move the ball down the field and then Hamler had a grab. Then Zach Davidson made a sensational grab for a TD and then twerked in celebration. It was a mixed reaction on sideline to the cele 😂 1 2 Quote
Warcodered Posted June 11 Posted June 11 I'll get far more worried if they're still struggling a lot to put it together once we're past a preseason game or two. Right now with all the new moving parts and Brady installing his variation of the system, feels about right. Plus it's not like our defense hasn't generally been good and knowing it's system for forever. 3 Quote

TheyCallMeAndy Posted June 11 Posted June 11 10 minutes ago, HappyDays said: One more update from Matt Parrino: One thing with the new kickoff rule and Zach Davidson, coaches speculate that kickers will be significantly more involved with tackles now, due to rule changes. Davidson is a former Punter and could hold up better to the physicality. 1 Quote

I believe it’s a bottom of the end group in the league and hearing a bill reporters say they looked like a mess, poor routes, dropped passes isn’t really reassuring I don't want to read too much into individual reps but it's hard not to be concerned. Right now who is the best outside WR on the roster? I honestly have no clue and it sounds like the team doesn't know either because a lot of WRs are getting reps with the starting offense. Quote

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted June 11 Posted June 11 1 hour ago, HappyDays said: One update from Matt Parrino and this isn't going to make the WR pessimists happy: My biggest takeaway is that a lot of WRs are getting reps with Josh Allen. So far we've heard Claypool, Shavers, Isabella, and Hamler all getting targets from Allen today. This room is quite a jumbled mess right now... Hopefully the cream rises to the top in training camp but early returns are not good. To steal from the Iverson quote: "You talking 'bout practice ." Not even full practice, we are talking about no pads minicamp with a new OC (and likely a new offense install) with more than half of the WR room replaced. I'd be more surprised if there weren't early struggles. 1 1 Quote
Process Posted June 11 Author Posted June 11 Only things I'm concerned with from today are the Shakir injury and Cook still not knowing how to catch. 5 out of our top 6 WRs are new to the team. That's unheard of. I expect them to look like a mess in June. 1 1 Quote
sven233 Posted June 11 Posted June 11 It's Mini Camp. On top of that, the media has only been able to see 1 practice a week while not being allowed at the rest of them. So, we honestly don't know whether these offensive struggles are just a coincidence to be happening on those media days or if they have been plaguing us all camp. That said, it is frustrating as a fan to hear week after week on every media day about just how bad the offense looks. I believe the very first practice the media was there they said the offense looked good. After that, though, it's been pretty bleak. Obviously, we have to take it with a grain of salt because as stated, it is just Mini Camp and the media has only seen 4 practices total. That said, if the offense has been struggling day in and day out, it hasn't gone unnoticed by Beane. If the WRs are as bad as being reported, I would fully expect Beane to be watching the wire through Training Camp to see what vets might shake free or come available for trade. While we don't have a ton of cap space, we do have a little bit to play with if need be. Guess we'll have to wait and see what happens. We'll know a lot more in a month or so when camp starts and we can watch every practice for ourselves to see where things are at. The biggest thing I took out of today was Milano being back in the mix. That is great news heading into camp. Now we just need to find a way to survive the next month or so with nobody getting injured or arrested before they report to SJF. 1 1 Quote

We've already signed all the waiver wire all stars, that's probably not gonna get it done. We might get deep into training camp and realize we don't have a starting caliber outside WR on the roster. That's what we need. A trade for an established talent is going to be our only saving grace. Hopefully Beane is ready to pull the trigger if we're at preseason game 1 and still don't have a clear cut WR depth chart. 1 Quote

Everyone always gets reps in mini camps. 1 Quote
