    Our starting OTs and their depth is concerning. Hopefully a trade is looming.

    I think the FO is going to go for several weeks in the trial mode before making their in-season trade move.  They'll be evaluating OT, MLB, and WR2.  I'm hoping for the WR2 move, make do with what you have at OT and MLB.

    WR2? You trading Davis? Better to maximize his production while he is still on his rookie deal. Who can Beane afford that would be an improvement?

    That would be a hell of a block of Kincaid was blocking DEs while split out in the slot...except if he was in tight.

    I'm wondering if we are OVER estimating Kincaid contributions while UNDER estimating Knox.

    Really excited about the impact Conor McGovern signing that's barely talked about will have on the O

    And if Torrence starts, it means he outplayed Bates and that's an upgrade at that position over last year.  And if Brown is recovered from back surgery, it's an upgrade there as well. 

    I think Bates's value is as a jack-of-all-trades and as the primary backup to Morse who might be one concussion away from retirement.. Even if the RG battle is close, I think Torrance gets the job. He has upside and will develop even faster if he plays regularly. Bates has likely peaked but his versatility allows the Bills to dress as few as 7 Olinemen,.

    RB: Evans, Mims

    WR: all of them? 😂

    TE: Kincaid

    OL: Gouraige, Torrence & Edwards (these could be solid guys as fill-ins)

    DL:  a line of Basham/Cline/Poona/Lawson or Rey

    LB: Williams & Bernard with the majority of snaps

    DB: Zayne Anderson, Austin, Ingram & Rapp

     

    Would like to see Harty in the return game instead of Isabella this game. 

     

    This game will ,as is the "tradition",  most likely feature starters.  Most of the guys you mentioned won't get as many reps as you hope.

    In truth, I'd love to see Dorian Williams and Milano on the field at the same time at LB.  Outside of calling defensive plays, Williams looked solid when he played versus the Colts.  Since we only play 2 LBs...technically there really isn't a MLB.  So...I think Williams and Milano reflect the two most athletic LBs.  If possible, have Poyer or Hyde call the defensive plays.

    Not the way it works.  I think this season he backs up Milano and has to play special teams.

    Is Matt Barkley a better fit than Kyle Allen in this offense?

    Kyle is playing himself out of a job that was basically handed to him since they want Barkley to be on the PS and have him there for his presence in the QB room and due to Allen liking him.

    But the new rule allows a team to have a 3rd QB. I want to see how the Bills manage that.

    Barkley will be the backup quarterback.  He is more accurate, knows this offense well, and has the trust of the coaches.

     

    Allen will either be cut, if he does not start playing and  practicing better, or on the practice squad.  Right now it seems the former is going to happen--needs to look competent, and soon.

    He's only been on the roster a few months and played one preseason game.

    Too early to write him off...and we know BARKLEY won't get any better.

    I'm open to browsing the upcoming cuts for a QB

    Kyle Allen is so bad that it makes me upset that we didn’t pursue a better backup option. Maybe there was literally no one else available? I haven’t checked.

     

    Absolutely anyone has to be better than what he has shown throughout camp and in this game.

     

    If Allen goes down for ANY amount of time - even one game - I find little optimism for a route for us to produce a win.

    Bills invested money elsewhere. Apparently Beane couldn't, or wouldn't, spend much on a backperiod.

    Josh has been durable and hopefully we dont see Kyle or Barkley out there. I don't know that either could win a regular season game, much less keep the team afloat if Josh is out for an extended period.

    Same here….but I wish we had another RB to take the preseason beatings. I’d prefer not to play cook, Harris and Murray after the 1st qtr.  Give Mims and Evans 3 quarters and let them battle for the PS spot. 
     

    I’ m pumped about sternberger too…. But I’d prefer we didn’t show him off.  Cut him and stash him in case one of our top 3 TEs get injured.  Morris is a player.  I’d be shocked if he was cut and I don’t see us keeping 4 TEs.

     

    I wanna see Kincaid get 1 catch then hit the bench

     

     

    Once you cut a guy he has other options ; you have to be able to re-sign him in order to stash him.

    Doyle, Quessenberry, Mancz, Basham, Settle, Phillips, Klein. Was thinking Benford, but I think they like him and might try him at safety. Would anyone give up a pick for Cam Lewis?

    Hate to say it but Phillips might be almost done. I think there's a good chance he ends up on IR or gets cut.
