Agreed. A healthy offensive line and skill players will also do wonders. I'm happy to see we are still adding depth to those lines.

I think the Bills are going to lead the league in rushing this year. Add in the young depth at WR and TE and the Bills are going to have a nice balanced attack. Kincaid, Shakir and Cook all put up some numbers last year and it was clear, the second half of the season, they all gained Josh's trust. There is a perception by some that we should focus more on the passing game because of Josh's undeniable passing ability, but defenses are built to defend the pass. There were times when our passing attack seemed to regress as a result. I'm not saying that Josh isn't going to sling the rock, but I do believe there will be some emphasis on the rushing attack. Not just to have a balanced attack but to build a team that can't be stopped, no matter what a defense tries to do. The RBs we picked up in the draft are no slouches either. Another thing we are going to see is a lot of is pre-snap motion. When Brady took over we were surprised to see it used significantly more often. And Shaw66 is correct about a lot of crossers and occasional deep shots. One of the misconceptions about our offense is that we don't have any speed. We do. They aren't big X receivers but they are very fast. Those deep routes aren't going away. They just aren't going to be Davis or Diggs. We may see some different looks in the way routes are run and in the way plays are schemed up, but Josh is still going to put up some numbers. One thing is clear. The ball is going to be spread around and at the end of the year, we are going to see it running like a well oiled machine. It might take a few games to really get rolling with all of the youth, or Kincaid, Shakir and Cook step into larger roles and we pick right up where we left off from last year.

This is very close to what I've been thinking. I think the offense figured some things out toward the end of the season and will only get better from here. There were all ready some young play makers on offense last year. They are now going to have bigger roles.

Our #1 receiver might end up being Kincaid.

The UB kicker. Came on strong his senior year. Going to be some kicking competition in camp.

OK. After much digging I did find a quote. Here's the link: https://www.dawgnation.com/football/nfl-dawgs/sedrick-van-pran-granger-buffalo-bills-2024-nfl-draft/YM3MTB6JPJEJTN5UEMXY5V6JEU/ Maybe we have a competition at long snapper in camp. Now I'm intrigued.

Going back and reading some of the replies on this thread, now I'm not sure if he really is a great shotgun snapper. Is he? And if he is there really isn't that much difference to long snapping. This is actually a sneaky good signing if true. We carry a long snapper on this team and that is literally all he does. If this kid can long snap it allows us to get rid of long snapper and add another player to the 53.

A very underrated trait, especially on this team. This frees up a TE so he can run a route instead of staying in to block. Adds a lot to this kids value.

I think you nailed it. There for a while, the Bills kept getting small fast receivers. We were all joking about all of the smurfs on the team. Ultimately, there were problems scheming some of these guys into our system and there were definitely issues with dropped passes and injuries. Starting with Kincaid, we found someone with size and good hands. Coleman is very much in that same mold. As a side note, I think the Bills the overall philosophy changed after the playoff loss to Cincy a couple years ago. The Bills were bullied in that game and that did not go over well. It is looking to me like the Bills are looking to become the bully. From the beefing up in the trenches to the skill position players. They know they have a great QB but clearly they also intend to run the ball. The entire way they are building this team is to get back to some smash mouth football.

You could tell that the Bill's brass changed their thinking in the way they select WRs last year when they picked up Kincaid. He was considered to be the best pass catcher in the draft, even among WRs. Coleman also is a good pass catcher. Not really sure if this works out since he will always be matched up with a CB. Considering he has Josh tossing to him though, his chances increase significantly. As for the meltdowns about his forty time, I'm reserving judgement. Perhaps the coaches have some ideas on how best to utilize his skillset.

Really? How is he at long snapper? That would really be cool to eliminate the position and add someone to say....WR.

A boxer too. Even played tennis. Interesting background. If he's any good at throwing a punch, that's actually a pretty good trait for and OLman.

An OG who's last name is Bills, a FB named Gunner, Frank Gore's son, and a Lovely CB. Am I reading this right?

Isn't that what Jason Peters did?
