NoSaint Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Are you joking? It was so obvious of a remark that I almost didn't post it because everyone already knows thats the situation with Goodwin. there was the jets game he started - 1 deep td, 1 big rushing chunk, and 5 underneath catches. if he stays healthy he can be a complete player. its still a big if, but i think its crazy to act like its impossible.

Deranged Rhino Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Rex is talking him up so we can trade him. Very possible. The only way Goodwin isn't on this roster opening day in my eyes is if he gets traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC in St. Louis Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I'm glad for Goodwin. That story about him and his sister is awesome. He deserves the opportunity to succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezertbill Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Dude's a porcelain doll. He can't stay healthy, so it doesn't matter. When he does, then we can talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ko12010 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I remember the same types of headlines during Goodwin's rookie workouts. He's impressive on the practice field as he runs by everyone but clearly that hasn't translated to success on the field. If he gets tackled once he's out for the year. And are you just going to let him run deep every play? I'm sure the defense would be looking for that He's not a complete receiver. He's a one trick pony Hyperbole much?

Buftex Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) I think it is very long odds that he makes the team. He always looks great in shorts, but can't stay healthy when the real bullets fly. Could Rex be trying to add to any potential trade value that he has? He isn't just a fast guy...there are a lot of those in the league....he is a fast guy with good hands....those are a little harder to find...but that durability thing is his biggest con...I agree with you, he is a long-shot to make the squad. It seems the Bills are going to let at least one decent WR go this summer...why not try to get something, anything, for him? Hyperbole much? You know, the season before (2013), when he did play, I am pretty sure, he didn't finish a single game where he caught a pass, un-injured.

KDIGGZ Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Hyperbole much? You're right. He got tackled 4 times last year and got injured twice and shaken up once. So he only gets hurt 75% of the time. My mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wagon Circler Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Are you joking? It was so obvious of a remark that I almost didn't post it because everyone already knows thats the situation with Goodwin. I agree this is so idiotic. When given a rare opportunity to do anything other than go deep, he showed good route running and hands. Glad to see Rex single him out. The kid can play. Has to stay healthy.

My mistake.See? There you go. Wrong again but half. He had eight. And the hamstring injury last year was in practice, not getting hit in the game.

Kirby Jackson Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) one of the first players Rex mentioned when hired was Spikes and what did that mean? How many receivers does a team keep, 5-6 maybe? Sammy, Harvin, Woods, Hogan, and Easley are 5 right there. I will be shocked if Goodwin is on this team opening day. This is where some of the debate comes in. Do you keep a guy that does a lot of things okay (Hogan) or a guy that does 1 thing exceptionally well (Goodwin, Easley)? If you are talking about a guy playing >10 snaps a game who will have the bigger impact? It really depends on how Rex and Roman view the roster. This goes without factoring in a potential acquisition of a big bodied receiver which also could happen. It will be interesting to see how Whaley and company select the roster and how the coaching staff uses them. I suspect that this staff will use player's much better than the last staff. I thought that along with offensive play calling that was what they were worst at. They didn't put guys in position to do what they did best (ie run Spiller between the tackles until he pukes).

Good point. If they don't trade Goodwin this weekend (and I think it's a long shot they will / are even trying to), I can see Hogan getting cut in camp. I'm not sure it's likely, but it's becoming more probable. Easley is a lock and they'll have four more active on game day (Watkins, Woods, Harvin, Goodwin/UFA addition) along with 3 TEs. Hogan could take that last spot, but I think that will only happen if he contributes on teams more than he did last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bladiebla Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I'd rather see Goodwin run some crisp, deep routes & receive a nice pass, rather than the patented "just throw it deep & let him run under it". Maybe he is a better receiver than we have seen so far. He's been pretty good at WR in pre-season games on regular routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
