26CornerBlitz Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Bills risers from OTA practices With the Buffalo Bills' ninth and final organized team activity in the books, the team will turn its attention to a three-day mandatory minicamp next week. In the meantime, let's recap OTAs first by highlighting some risers from the three weeks of practices: Bills fallers from OTA practices Earlier Friday, we highlighted some of the Buffalo Bills' "rising" after three weeks of organized team activities (OTAs). Now it's time to look at the other end of the spectrum: which players left something to be desired in OTAs? It's a harder question to answer, since the practices are voluntary, are not held in pads, and are geared towards installation -- not necessarily evaluation. With that in mind, here are our notes on some players who didn't have as good a showing in OTAs as we would have expected: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FluffHead Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 It is amazing to me how many fans seem so intent on wanting the Bills QB to fail. What's the point, really? I definitely do not want him to fail. But I don't let my fandom effect what I've seen from him since college. I don't think he's very good. I pray to The Lord baby Jesus he proves me wrong.

26CornerBlitz Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 The top 8 OTA performers From defensive backs to a top-tier wide receiver, Who made the biggest impression during Bills OTAs? On Friday we gave you the three unheralded playmakers of the OTA practices at One Bills Drive over the past three weeks. Now we give you the best of the best in the non-pads football environment of organized team activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Damn sure has gotten me in more than one perilous situation in my day. LOL . BTW who is the coach behind Cyrus ?

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, I've seen a few other pics of him and this looks similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 EJ and Watkins were "fallers?" Yikes. Actually I think Mike Rodak was one of the "fallers" at OTAs. The guy is struggling. Why is it so difficult for ESPN to find a decent beat writer to cover the Bills? For crying out loud, this time they went to a Pats* fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 WR Chris Hogan takes good first step After a season in which he caught just 10 balls and made a minimal impact for the Bills offense, Chris Hogan has impressed with dazzling catches throughout OTAs.

Beerball Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Not that OTAs are much of an indication anyway. The guys need pads on. The rush has to be there. The players need to have practiced substantially together for timing. They must know the offense. Etc Etc. Yeah, I agree. TC will be when we can make decisions, unless we don't like what we see in TC then we'll say wait until the pre-season games, unless we don't like what we see in the HOF game then we'll say wait until the real preseason starts, unless we don't like how EJ performs in the "first" preseason game, then we'll say that it's the "second" game that really matters, unless we don't like what we see in the "second" game, then we'll say that was the "second" game and so & so didn't play well so it's the "third" game that will really matter, unless we don't like what we see in the "third" game, then we'll say that it was the O-line's fault, but, it doesn't matter because everything will come together in the "fourth" preseason game, unless we don't like what we see in the "fourth" preseason game then we'll say everyone knows that the "fourth" preseason game is the least important of all the preseason games and anyway Nate has been holding EJ back so wait until the regular season before you make up your mind because everyone knows that it's the regular season that counts. Don't believe me? Go back and look at the preseason threads during Chan's tenure. I believe it is the OL coach, Pat Morris. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, I've seen a few other pics of him and this looks similar. Pat Morris Offensive Line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't believe me? Go back and look at the preseason threads during Chan's tenure. By the same token, if we do like what we see, we'll be told that it doesn't matter... So does it, or doesn't it?

Dorkington Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 So basically EJ sucks, because OTAs, and he has no chance at getting better, because OTAs, and we should cut our losses, because OTAs, and sign Nassib, or Tebow, or something. (Or, you know, we should give EJ two or three years, like basically all rookie first round QBs get, and go from there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does, it all does, but to differing degrees. So basically EJ sucks, because OTAs, and he has no chance at getting better, because OTAs, and we should cut our losses, because OTAs, and sign Nassib, or Tebow, or something. (Or, you know, we should give EJ two or three years, like basically all rookie first round QBs get, and go from there) The Bills should be better prepared at the position because they plan on starting a QB who missed 6 games in his rookie year due to injury. They stood pat so what we have is EJ or bust. All of the eggs are in his basket and hopefully he kicks butt. You forgot the fifth preseason game this year. Oh no I dint.

Beerball Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 What QBs that are on the market are guaranteed upgrades from Thad? Today? Zero, zip, zilch. That's why it's EJ or bust. He's the man. That's why I said that they stood pat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 The top 8 OTA performers So Chris Hogan and Ron Brooks appear to be stepping up. Interesting. If Jerry Hughes can still be a disruptive force, that would be great. I just hope that the Bills will still be able to keep him when his contract is up.
