Why would we want demote Shakir? Who I view as WR3... He showed way to much to think there's an expensive upgrade on the downside that would play better. I would find ways to get Shakir more touches before blowing stupid money or draft picks on what I view as a downgrade.

Hey Bud. I would like to suggest whenever you make a game day thread could you put the game info/start time and relative info regarding TV/Radio. I always click to check the 1st post for that stuff.

Delusions of Grandeur Exactly... Name a RB that struggled against Denver?

Maybe a 6th or 7th... He's often injured and a bit slow.. I don't see anyone giving up much if anything to acquire him.

Smoke screen IMO... he was in consideration, but I have to beleive Beane wanted a stong arm QB

I'm going to say Watsons absence from the game for such a long time will have an affect (or is effect) and he will not return to his prime I just don't see the mental fortitude to handle the endless in your face finger wagging he will experiece.. If he can brush it all off and not be affected, then I think he is devoid of a soul, conscious, and empathy

In my defense it was pushed to the top when I replied.

I agree here.. .Even punts are not going to be anywhere's close to 100% touchbacks You cannot totally ignore coverage teams, but I can see them going with a young gun or too, I just don't see them letting all there top STs players walk.

I'm surprised at the Haack cut. I thought they would of wanted to see more of Matt in different situations. They must be satisfied by what they see in practice. We know he's got the holding thing down... I really wanted to see what he could do with hangtime and pinning opponents inside the 20 on a shorter field... But lets face it, we were all in on the anyone but Haack movement.

I think will see some starters but I doubt we see many of them...

Well I'm guilty.. No way I'm gonna read 5 pages of replies just to see if my point was already made. I skim though them but usually I'm just focused on the OP's original intent. If somebody quotes something that stick out to me I will jump on that. This quote was a case in point. Did they even throw his way. I thought about this and I don't even remember him being around a pass attemtp. Which tells me he was playing shut down corner level. Against 2nd string but none the less impressive.

Hows does this topic have 7 pages, it should of dropped off the front page a couple hours after it was posted

I agree Blackshear defintely raised some eyebrows.... But like I said above he is not surplanting our top 3 RBs... he's in the conversation for 4th RB spot for sure, but odds are more in favor of PS

I agree with the OP... If Blackshear makes the cut he will be 4th or 5th on the depth chart. Yes Blackshear has shown something against borderline 2nd stringers/3rd stringrers and cut candidates. It may be enough to squeak in those last spots... I do not see the Bills even entertaining the thoughts of ditching Singletary, Moss, or Cook for Blackshear

Routine and random.... all players get them throughout the year. More often if you tested dirty once or more before.

Preseason but we did look good all game

All our RBs looked real good yesterday. I think Cook's gonna do well, how well he does will depend on how he is at helping us get tough yards.

Take your chances ? Bass 56 % last year were TBs 70% in 2020 . https://www.foxsports.com/nfl/tyler-bass-player-stats?category=kickoffsandpunts&seasonType=reg. Punting won't be much different stats wise IMO On average and a guesstimate on my part.. 40% of these plays will be returnable. Too much to ignore solid ST contributors here. That kind of gross negligents increases the likeliness of getting bit in the ass I can see us keeping a couple of bubble players but we're still keeping a few vets ST players

He doesn't boot them that far consistently. He didn't in college. Bass does not have a 100% touch back success in his career We need ST coverage players

What is your opinion on how he handled his duty.?

Howard was a positive yesterday.... We're definitely keeping him because option 3 and 4 don't come anywhere's close to surplanting him.. TE will be a priority... again... next spring IMO

Watching our KR team minus our aces tells me we're keeping a few vets here. 1 more preseason game but there is a ton of improvement needed from some of our young players fighting for a job. It will be a tough on that final cut down, We may roll the dice on a noob or 2 but we'll be keeping a few ST vets as well.

I'm sure we will hear about another baker's dozen of teams that kicked the tires

Shakir
