I've read that while Harry can make highlight real catches, fights for the ball to make 50/50 catches and has excellent run after the catch ability, he really doesn't gain separation downfield. His highlight video showed all of that in living color. the only passes on which he had separation were short catches where the DB was playing soft. Hockenson actually gained more separation, though that might have been because he's a tight end and is not always covered by a CB. I think Hockenson will be a good one. Ximines might be a great edge rusher, but I didn't like the way his highlight video was done. It showed the end result, but not how he came off the line and beat the blocker. That's what I really want to see. Again, he's got to be doing something right to be as disruptive as he is. I'd just like to see the plays from start to finish. Henderson also looks like a good one. Ford is well regarded and Udoh showed well inb the Senior Bowl.
So I am not a big fan of highlight videos at all. I suggest you just put the name into youtube with "vs" and see what pops up. Harry's game against Utah this year was sick. ODU edge was pretty good against ECU and he was almost constantly double teamed or chipped by the RB. The Iowa TEs have been interesting in the draft breakdowns. I like Hock better but I need to watch some more. Haven't gotten a chance to see more of other players.

Oh no? See below:
DUH! One JUNK comparison from a ridiculous assertion, -which I never made. A mantle of bull*** you clearly picked up when you said::
It's a bull**** point, since I never said you did. -What I did say was:
I have long been a proponent of putting Reich on the payroll... You see the effect he's had as a coach in places like PHI, SDG, and now IND. -Taking a 1-5 team to the playoffs with a QB many thought was done. -Classic Reich comeback. OBD should have pursued him with more fervor.
Bottom line: Jordan Palmer STILL does not have the coaching credentials I'd need to be happy about him working with my rookie. His marginal pro career is the only credential in a resume devoid of verified NFL coaching experience.
To your assertion that he's helped Josh with mechanics, I can only say that Josh could have gone to any number of sources for that assistance. -Including YouTube!
There are literally guys on the street that could have helped Josh with his mechanics. Until I see what we have in September, I'm not willing to credit Palmer with anything.
IMO, Allen is too valuable not to have consistent, in-season, coaching and development.
So good to have you in my life again, Tranny. -Do you mind if I shorten your handle?
My problem is you only present Reich as another option, and he (even if we had hired to the Bills) would not be allowed to coach Josh right now. Please give us something constructive by telling us someone Josh Allen should be training with. And please remember he is not allowed to practice with the staff per the CBA

I don't think anyone is saying having Star or some good DT is a bad thing! Just that in a salary cap sport, overpaying for a player is not a good deal for the team overall.
But the point a lot of folks are making is that we aren't up against the cap at the moment. So by this logic its not really a terrible thing that we are overpaying him which is my opinion.

Has McDermott said or does anyone know who will start opposite Tre' this week vs Packers?
Haven’t seen anything. The bills depth chart has him behind Gaines and Pitts. Do we trust that since he started last week. That chart has gained starting

Think of how much better Allen could be after he watched for a year. ?

Ahem
Still pumped for the kid. Buy him some gloves. I don’t think it’ll hurt his almost 50 yard average

For as bad as our line looked in pass protection, they seemed very strong at run blocking. This will be an area of strength this season.
RPO all day please

20 minutes worth of punts during games
At the 1 :20 mark he punts one almost 70 yards.
Yeah I posted that up thread. I’m not sure how folks can argue the results. They played Texas A&M and dominated that phase of the game.
18 minutes ago, Fadingpain said:Is this dude in the video the punter?
Ever watch an NFL caliber punter punt? Their kicking leg ends up almost vertical, with their kicking foot way up over their head and their planted foot like a foot up in the air off the ground. They explode their body and leg through the ball.
This guy looks like I look when I punt a football. He just raises his leg and kicks.He's powerfully built, but I don't know...doesn't look like a punter. His range of motion of his kicking leg is like 50% of what it should be.
My sound was off but that looked like a drill more than live game. Kid can really boot it from his video. I love the frequency of 50 yard fair catches.
-
You guys love punters so why not watch this 28 minute video of the kid.
I got through a bunch of kicks and damn he looks good. I love the fair catches on the 50 yarders. Also we love to talk about small schools. This kid made the UNM ST look like all stars even against SEC competition.
@BillsFan692 I agree they got the Coleman one wrong and others have made the point the cost wasn’t much. But I think they probably put more research on this punter than Coleman. I feel like (someone who watches hard knocks can tell me) the Coleman trade was the Browns GM just calling Beane up to see if he wanted him. Beane said sure I have some spare change for a former 1st rounder. To steal a guy from under neath the hoodie requires research if he didn’t kick all preseason.
It it was obvious they were moving on form Schmidt (agree carter would’ve won if not for injury). I’m pretty pumped for this kid but as has been said we will see.

After last year I still get the yearn to be competitive from these guys. I think they will look to make a move if it’s there. I don’t really think there is a great move out there anyway though.

Perhaps a trade, but more likely they'll sit on it; wait to see if they want to use any of it on extensions for Groy, Benjamin, or Davis.
They may also choose to carry a good amount of it over to 2019, when they're projected to be among the league leaders in cap space.
Heard this a couple times. Why do we want to roll it over if we already have plenty of cap? Not opposed to the idea just confused

You are right, Watkins on the Chiefs and the home opener against the Chargers. My bad.
So far though no complaints about the other facts as written.
So see you all at the SB. You all must agree.
I guess to keep going the DL is 50% new and not the same. Also this FO didn’t give shady his money. As mentioned you seem to be ranting. I could kee going but I am also tired

So if he is cut after june 1st of 2019 then he has what? 4.6 dead cap that y ear instead of 11.5?
was any of that paid to him also or is it a total of just 4.6 against the cap for 2019?
Looks like @Bangarang got you sorted. But wanted to answer one question. I do believe we have already paid him all this dead cap were talking about in the form of a signing bonus. It would just be accelerated against the cap. I would normally be concerned about the dead cap you were mentioning because you still have to replace the player, but as I mentioned I think were in a good spot next couple years. Good discussion!

Star's contact is a nightmare if he sucks.
Lots of dead cap for the first 3 years.
Cap hits are: $6.7, $11.5, $10.1
Dead cap if cut early is:
$18.6 ('18)
$12.4 ('19)
$7.8 ('20)
Earliest potential out according to sportrac is after 2020 and would leave $5.2 in dead cap for 2021.
We are stuck with him at least 3 years.
Murphy is a $4.5 mil hit this year with $7.9 of dead cap
He's a $9 mil hit each of the next two years if we keep him
If we cut him after this year it's only a $3.5 dead cap hit
His is a much better contract if he sucks.
Star's is a mess if he sucks.
You get savings cutting Star in 2020 so we are stuck with him for 2 years. The savings for Trent after this year are > 5 mil so thats a very easy contract to get out of.
We also have a ton of cap space starting next year so Im not too worried about dead cap as I would other years because we can still afford a replacement.

I don't know what he ate, but I think it made him woozy.
He just went for two, while down 30-26 four minutes left in the 4th quarter. Why wouldn't you just take the point and stay w/in FG range? Am I missing something?
Well, other than it's preseason. Which is a good enough reason, I suppose. But the announcers seemed to be trying to rationalize it in a strategic way. I think they were reaching.
Probably wanted the goal line rep. I would never kick an xp in preseason. Goal line reps are more important than seeing xps

Based on the camp reps and where they're all taking them, the WR ranking looks something like this to me (today's practice performance notwithstanding):
1. Kelvin Benjamin
2. Andre Holmes
3. Jeremy Kerley
4. Zay Jones
5. Rod Streater
6. Brandon Reilly
7. Kaelin Clay
8. Raymond McCloud
9. Corey Coleman
10. Cam Phillips
11. Malachi Dupree
12. Robert Foster
13. Austin Proehl
Are they willing to keep seven? Or will they cut the list down to as few as four?
While he isnt getting reps yet I would think Corey Coleman is above Streater. I think they keep at least 6 (including Streater and Coleman).

Stock plummeting: Malachi Dupre, Robert Foster, Nick O'Leary
Some reported Foster as having a good day today.

I was most surprised at the number of RBs you put as probable and you dont think theres a punting competition. Good work as always. Can you summarize the number of spots not taken in blue and black with the remaining reds fighting for them? Thanks.

Excellent point.
I think Milano is only penciled in as started
Should this continue along into the week and the game on Friday, then perhaps there is something more to this. However, the Bills love Milano and likely just needed to challenge him a bit to get a response.
The difference is between him and O'Leary is that O'Leary has been bleeding reps a lot longer. If Milano starts taking reps back then I wouldn't worry about it. But O'Leary seems to have some work to do to make the roster.

And it shouldn't, the coaches have access to these guys everyday. Until I see it with my own eyes, I can only go by the information that I have.
And as Johnny said, we have no idea what the coaches are thinking with the rotations. Is Milano in trouble because Humber is taking first team reps in his place today?
HAHAHA that was in the article too. Milano was great last year, and I think he is in a better spot than O'Leary. However, LB and TE are both positions we can look to improve.

McD mentioned Redmond's play a C today. Some took it as an opening for Groy to slide to Guard potentially.

That's a fair point. However, I would also like to point out that the Bills lost 20 games over the past three years with Tyrod Taylor as the starting QB. So, by this logic-- he had ample opportunities to rack up some "garbage time" yards. Yet, he still only broke through to the promised land one time... and it took him 5 quarters to do it.
I think the disconnect here is that the "anti-300" crowd is using that metric in the context of "wins & losses" and the "300 yard games matter" crowd is using it in the limited context of "basic competence at the position".
I get your point and can agree. I would use different language than basic competence; I would probably say regularly achieving 300 yards would be good QB play rather than basic competence.
Allen is NOT inaccurate unless Baker, Lamar, Darnold, Rosen, 2017 Watson & 2016 Wentz are, too

Really liked your contributions to this thread but wanted to reply to this topic.
I think coahes could get to the accuracy/precision distinction. As you mentioned it’s all about getting the ball where it needs to be. coaches could see a lack of precision as evidenced by a change in or sloppy mechanics. That would lead to more reps for muscle memory. Or they could see his front foot not pointed correctly thus not being accurate despite consistent mechanics. Maybe they don’t talk about accuracy or precision but I think they talk in this way. If that’s the case I would think they are having an accuracy/precision discussion without knowing it.
