A couple days after the game we traded for Corey Coleman. Allen will likely be playing with Coleman tomorrow, Foster will probably be with Peterman. Coleman is the one poised to have a big game. That trade was probably a direct reaction to Foster's awful play last week. He can run fast but that isn't enough. I think we ultimately will store him on the practice squad.

His best wow plays were the TD to Stevie on his debut vs the Patriots and the TD to Easley in the Jags game. I was right on the line of that pass. It was an absolute beauty. They are the only two I can remember.
Those weren't wow plays. Especially not the TD to Stevie. He was as wide open as you can be. And are we thinking of the same Easley TD?
That's a standard deep TD in the NFL. That is a competent play. It isn't special like the McCloud TD. Even Tyrod had a few special plays in his time here but they were all with his legs, not his arm. Josh Allen is the first QB we've had in a while that can make plays with his arm that only a few other QBs in the league can make.

I can't remember a single wow play that EJ Manuel had here. Not in a single game, preseason or regular season. If Josh Allen is a bust and off the team in 3 years I'll still remember that TD to McCloud. I'll still remember the back foot throw to Khari Lee. Manuel never looked that great. There were times where he looked competent but he never made a play where you thought "wow this guy could be special." Allen had at least two of those plays in his first preseason game. That's the difference.

So much that you decided to join less than a week ago to piss on other members comments.
This is his third username of the offseason, at least. And I have my suspicions that he is actually an old BBMB troll who is secretly a Pats fan with about a dozen accounts in his history. Probably a very mentally ill person and it would be best if everyone ignored them from here on out.

The Bills, your allowed to like a team without fawning over all of the players. Right?
No one is fawning over the players. You keep calling people defending Allen "fanboys." You can believe that he will not succeed and still be a fan of his. But I see this is personal for you so I won't stand in your way.

Another data point.....still too early to judge but not a strong start. Some say you can't fix accuracy - can you fix a mind set? Interesting read.
QuoteSam Bradford got the day off as the rest of the Cardinals labored in the friendly confines of Arizona’s indoor stadium, so it was Josh Rosen’s time to shine with the ones. He did so with the benefit of a less-than-live pass rush after Saturday’s inconsistent performance behind a struggling second-string offensive line. Sorry to say, the 10th overall selection in the 2018 draft didn’t look much better against his own teammates. Part of that can be blamed on a wide receiver group without a clear No. 2 to Larry Fitzgerald, but many of Rosen’s wounds were self-inflicted. While his footwork looked solid, Rosen air-mailed several balls at the goal line and down the sidelines, and looked out of sync with route-runners.
Conversely, undrafted free agent quarterback Chad Kanoff is making the most of his opportunity under center, and seems to have a fighting chance at supplanting Mike Glennon as the No. 3 quarterback on the roster. The Princeton product’s accuracy on deep balls Monday, particularly on one bomb to Trent Sherfield, made it hard to tell who was the first-round pick and who played his college ball in the Ivy League (no offense to the Ivy League, which has much more going for it than football).
Here’s the strange thing about watching Rosen and Kanoff side by side: When Kanoff faltered, he was reserved, attentive, and quickly moved on to the next play. When Rosen tossed up a bad ball or failed in a third-down scenario, he was visibly upset, taking big swings at nothing with a cleated foot and generally looking pretty miserable. A bunch of anonymous scouts were talking about the UCLA product’s bad body language during the pre-draft process, and while you should take most of that anonymous stuff with a grain of salt, one can see here in training camp why there were concerns.This is what people were saying about Rosen pre-draft. Accuracy doesn't mean squat if you don't have the mental fortitude to withstand life in the NFL. Sounds to me like he's letting his bad preseason debut get to him.
The paragraph about the undrafted QB from Princeton gave me flashbacks to EJ Manuel and Jeff Tuel.

As for the other two quarterbacks, Nathan Peterman and A.J. McCarron flipped responsibilities from how the Bills positioned them on Monday. Peterman worked with the third-team offense on Monday and was with the top unit on Tuesday -- and vice versa for McCarron. Peterman went 9-of-9 while taking a pair of sacks with the ones, and McCarron was 9-of-12 with the third unit. Neither player has done anything to cancel themselves out of the competition to be the starting quarterback, which further complicates Sean McDermott's ultimate decision.I still think one of them starts the season. They aren't making the decision any easier but this is what you call a good problem to have.

Packers have two firsts next year. I’d say they lead the field for sure
I would think the Bills 1st is worth more than both of the Packers 1sts. Many people think the Bills will have a top 5 pick next year. The Packers picks will both be in the 20s, maybe 30s. If we want Mack we can get him. I'm not sure that's the kind of move Beane would make though.

Hopefully everyone looks better on Friday

Sounds like Peterman again is having a very good day.

That said, while I haven't been to every single practice, I have seen him practice and have watched his half multiple times against Carolina watching nothing but his footwork at times and I came away surprised how much better his base looked. And while he still has a ways to go, in my opinion, he is much further along at this point than I thought he could get to since his college season ended. This shows me the guy works at it and takes coaching well which is very important.
Count me into the eating crow group. Maybe Jordan Palmer really is a QB guru. I had the same thoughts on you from his college tape, that his arm was great but his footwork was too messy to be worth it. He's come a long way in just a few months. I can only imagine what he could be in a couple years.
3 hours ago, TheTruthHurts said:Not sure why Cover1 accepts the read on the TD. That was a low % attempt. The coverage should have lead Allen to the middle of the field. Hopefully Bills coaches don't accept that read.
He explained that it was a half field read, and by the time Proehl broke open Allen was already releasing the ball. I'm not going to criticize that TD. It wasn't a fluke or anything, it was just a great pump fake and throw. The one throw Erik criticized was the incompletion to Proehl downfield when Allen could have just checked down to a TE. But that's a way easier mistake to fix than trying to teach him to take chances downfield. If that's the worst thing you can point to in his first preseason game that's a really promising start.

Poise. That's the word that this brings to mind.
The TD throw was even more impressive than I thought. He recognized the coverage, froze the CB with a pump fake, and delivered the ball to the best possible spot where his receiver wouldn't get blown up by the safety. McCloud did a really nice job with the route too. And these are rookies in their first ever NFL action...

Something else I notice in this film is Wyatt Teller abusing the d-linemen. He looks like a future starter.

I was at camp today. I don't have any crazy observations. Allen overthrew a couple receivers in team drills but overall looked good. Peterman looked better than McCarron to me, more decisive with the ball. He had a nice long seam completion to Zay Jones against the 1st team defense. The only other attempt I saw go to Jones he dropped (the DB might have gotten a hand on it, it was hard to tell). Corey Coleman looked good to me. He had a couple nice catches with the 2nd team offense. When practice was winding down Allen was practicing some long endzone fades against air - one of these passes to Coleman looked like it would be overthrown but then Coleman turned on the burners and brought the ball in with one outstretched hand. It was pretty impressive with the caveat that there was no defender. If you replaced Foster with Coleman against the Panthers he probably would have caught those 2 long TDs IMO. I definitely want to see him with the 1st team once he's up to speed (no pun intended).

Just based on watching their preseason games and not what I thought of them before, I’d go:
1. Baker
2. Allen
3. Darnold
4. Toss-up between Rosen and Lamar
6. Rudolphwith a big dropoff after Darnold
Agreed, except I'd switch Mayfield and Darnold. The top 3 were pretty close, they each showed something to be excited about. Rosen looked well below them IMO. You have to be able to deal with pressure in the NFL and I don't think he has it.
2 hours ago, 26CornerBlitz said:escaping the pocket before resetting and completing his best pass of the night, a 21-yard strike to tight end Gabe Holmes.
His "best pass of the night" was behind the intended receiver and should have had more YAC. If that's the best example of Rosen handling pressure he will not be a successful QB.

I've been thinking similar things. I'm now wondering how all the "we should have draft Rosen instead of Allen" people will react to this?
One troll in particular has been pushing the narrative that we should have taken Rosen, and that Allen was bad in his debut because his completion percentage was below 50%. Now that Rosen ends the night 6 for 13 and a dropped pick six I'm guessing we won't be hearing from him this week. Hopefully.

I've had enough of these announcers in the Chargers/Cardinals games. They are such homers, they are having trouble recognizing basic things. Like how a throw that forces the WR out of bounds, uncatchable, is not in fact a "great throw," a "very, very good throw," or a "really positive play."
Rosen is mostly accurate but he looks terrible under pressure. QBs that can't escape pressure and throw on the run don't last long in the modern NFL. I can see why NFL scouts didn't like Rosen as much as Mayfield, Darnold, and Allen.

How did Foster make the team?
in The Stadium Wall Archives

You're right, that's my bad. Well there's only room on the roster for one speedy WR so if Coleman performs well tomorrow there's no question he'll make the team over Foster.
