Surprise, Surprise, Clay Starting TC Off on PUP
BurpleBull replied to H2o's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
How 'bout that! Any more AFC East related Cardinals' news? Only got the Pats, Jets, and Bills to go. -

Naw. They did next to nothing to Gronkowski in retaliation; the most done was Jordan Poyer giving Gronkowski a half-shove. Just the other day I was thinking about how ridiculed Jordan Mills was by fans from time to time, about his ability as a blocker, and then recalling how he always had his guys' backs. Mills probably would've been the guy retaliating against Gronkowski if in the area of the offense. Say what you will about him, Jordan Mills always had his teammates' backs.

Robert Foster: The BEST WR you've never heard of (Video)
BurpleBull replied to BigDingus's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
"They"...cute. The fact that you know that rappers' names often start off ''Lil" or "Young" suggests that you probably follow rap music a lot closer than you're letting on. In any case, I mute the music in many cases; this guy's voice is definitely mute-worthy. -

Never heard a more captivating voice. -
Just the other day I was reading on Allen and Morse working together, and one stated that they were focusing on the simple nuances, such as pre-snap, hand placement; the QB and C usually develop chemistry, you'd probably be disrupting it unnecessarily if your idea was incorporated and applied throughout an entire game. I think McDermott simply seeks O-line versatility, for the sake of being able to plug in quality players, in the event of an injury along the O-line --- not for innovation.

10 receptions last season is a dead giveaway to anybody that Roberts isn't much of a receiving threat. He's a return man, it's well known. Duke Williams has a shot obviously, but have you heard anything on Williams through OTAs, that leads you to believe that his dominant, play in the CFL has carried over?
-
I edited the line about Roberts and changed returner to receiver by mistake, but I mention him because he counts toward the average size. He made the Pro Bowl as a returner and he's likely sticking around because of it. I don't believe you even recalled that Roberts was an addition to the roster, if you forgot about John Brown. I'm just curious as to who you feel has the best chance at making the opening day roster between Williams and Sills.
-
They're both 6'3, but I get your point. Williams has a chance if he looks impressive and I could easily see Sills being sent to the practice squad to continue his development; I'm not sure either is a lock to be on the opening day roster though. Of the smaller players, only Victor Bolden Jr. strikes me as being in jeopardy of missing out on a roster spot as things stand. Roberts made the Pro Bowl as a receiver last season, Ray-Ray McCloud seems to be coming on based on OTAs, Isaiah McKenzie was productive last season and is arguably the Bills' most explosive receiver, and then you have Cole Beasley and John Brown. I feel like Daboll wants to incorporate more gadget plays into the offense and may have more regard for the smaller, quick receiver, than you may think.

Who is your roster “dark horse”?
BurpleBull replied to BisonMan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Mike Love. He can do what Shaq Lawson can do versus the run and I think he has more pass rush potential; I could see Shaq Lawson being part of a trade. Love was one of my picks to survive roster cuts in 'GunnerBill's Roster Thread' for 2018...I choose him as a "long shot", only because he's likely an afterthought to most fans. -
At one point the Bills' WRs average height was 5'11.

I think Dawkins could easily be very good at LG, but I also feel like the O-line wouldn't be getting the best overall value playing him so close to Williams with the right side lacking in talent in comparison to the left, and the inexperience of Cody Ford; I'd like the talent to be dispersed along the O-line, to start things off in this scenario. Nsekhe is great depth, but he's not bringing what Dawkins brings as an overall blocker and Spencer Long was pretty good at LG for the Jets; I watched Long in his blocking assignment versus Kyle Williams and he did a pretty good job, and by 'pretty good job', I don't mean 'decent'. He seems to hold up well at the point of attack. I don't believe my eyes were deceived, because I listened to a Jets' fan speak on Long's departure, to gauge his value in the fans' eyes, and he pretty much stated that the Jets' O-line production improved when he was moved from the center position---where he struggled---to left guard.
