Haddad will get cut, and Josh Reed will not


Recommended Posts

Ummmm, Haddad dropped a beautiful throw about 45 seconds after Reed did.

Ummmm, if you're talking about the pass I think you are, yes, it did get to him, but he had someone ALL over his back.

 

And more importantly, Reed seems to have one important drop EVERY game. . .

 

Time to cut the cord TD...

McQuarters had nice coverage but Losman threw a strike that hit Haddad right in the hands and would have put us in range for Lindell to miss another FG.

So far this preseason I've seen Reed drop 3 and Haddad drop 2 and I'll be really stunned if the Bills cut Josh with a year left on his rookie contract.

I don't see this as necessarily a choice between Haddad and Reed.

 

In general the Bills kept 6 WRs last year but will be fine with 5 WRs if we want to go that way.

 

One WR (Parrish)is down for the first quarter of the season so we probably keep 6 including Parrish.

 

My sense is they are:

 

1. Moulds (one more year at least)

2. Evans (the future #1 if he does not have a Josh Reed sophomore campaign

3. Parrish (he will be back as soon as he likely will not re-injure his wrist as his speed and ability to give Evans/Moulds better coverage is key)

4. Reed has a rep as a better blocker than many WRs though his droppsies make him a questionable #3. WM running will be the game until Parrish is in and though his possession receiving is questionable (though he did perform well as a #3 his rookie year) he probbably get the #4 slot.

5. Haddad probably makes the squad because he offers serious upside in several back-up roles. He will push Reed for being the possession receiver, and Parrish is the likely back-up PR threat for Clements and Haddad can back-up here while Parrish is gone.

6. Aiken probably sticks while Parrish is unavailable. he does contribute on ST coverage but this can be replaced by a host of good ST guys. He is a reasonable possesion WR but never has shown the speed.

7. Fast freddy is probably gone as he has not shown the receiver chops or consistency on PR if there are other choices.

8. Wilson- good receiving but have not seen or heard enough him as an ST demon, maybe he goes on the PS.

 

I think Aiken likely goes when Parrish comes back but this will take 4 games and depending what happens on the field perhaps Reed or Haddad may be the goners 4 games down the road.

 

 

I agree with all thee above except Aiken will be a lock, reed or haddad will become expandable when parrish comes back

But, the troubling issue came in the 97 Rock post-game show when Reed said that he has to drop the first one before he can focus enough to get the job done. If I was TD and heard that, Reed would be on the next bus to New Orleans. That said, I'd settle for the next plane to Baghdad.
