klos63 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Hogan has been a very strong special teamer for us, is one of the better athletes and route runners on the team, and is coming off a very productive growth year where he really turned a corner. He may also be the hardest worker at his position group. It's hard to envision a scenario in which his roster spot is in any sort of jeopardy. Watkins, Woods, Harvin, Hogan, and Easley are all roster locks. Goodwin and Thigpen are likely battling against each other, and other position groups, to justify their spot as a 6th wideout/kick returner. Goodwin's injury history and his current injury, as well as Thigpen's positional versatility, probably aren't helping him. he is probably one of the top 6 or 7 route runners on the team, but most of our players don't run routes... Probably not better than Watkins , Woods, Harvin, Clay,... He is a WR after all, he should be a good route runner. No praise for that. How is he a better athlete than any other skill position player, or LB or DB, RB.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) Neither of their QBs pulled it down to run in 7 on 7 s. No balls hitting the ground, and yes McCown looks better than Cassell in practice.i was there... Plenty of times they pulled it down to run and plenty of balls hit the ground. Oh and update: Thad Lewis is still bad. Edited August 8, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) Must be nfl network selective coverage then. Each 7 on 7 was executed perfectly on TVlol Edit: I thought they looked good overall. Their defense looked very nasty, better than last year. The QBs were ok but not great - Manziel a little better than mccown but they seemed really jittery in the pocket. I was really surprised by their OL- they had no protection and the QBs kind of having to get the ball out really fast and tons of pressure. I thought their OL would be very solid this year but their RT especially - oof. Mccown had accuracy issues. Manziel has a very quick release but seems to throw it only only one speed (darts) and not going through progressions. Secondary and LBs were impressive. Their pass catchers are mediocre but better than last year. Hartline was extra salty for some reason and jawing with the refs the whole time. Looking forward to seeing them vs Bills.

I know he played it but I wouldn't call him very strong at it. I would call him an average special teams guy and a below average slot receiver. I wouldn't call him one of the better route runners either. As someone already said he on many occasions runs his routes short of the first down marker on third down. He's a try hard guy and that's about it. Any time I ask people outside of this board why they think he's good the answer is usually the same "uhh... he's white."

BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Goodwin is always good until real games start and then is useless or injured. More injuries than catches in career for us. Oh yeah, he is fast and can jump. Good luck in Olympics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 from a link above .... We recap all of those recaps here, distilling for major themes and pointing out unique observations from the many excellent beat reporters at camp. Most now seem to agree that if anyone is going to rise to challenge Matt Cassel for the gig, it'll be Taylor - unless Manuel finally finds his consistency. They KEEP thinking it's Meh's job. That just isn't so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorkington Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Being that Hughes is primarily a high motor/speed rusher, I can imagine him struggling in these one on one tests compared to live action. I feel like a lot of his sacks come off of second+ efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 If it came down to it, would you keep Thigpen over him? Without question. I like thigpen better as a returner too. Reminds me of Terrance McGee in his prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be nfl network selective coverage then. Each 7 on 7 was executed perfectly on TV Not from what I saw. That last series with Johnny Football ended with a pull down and sack before Conner Shaw took over. and yea, John still needs a lot of work , as he kept watching just the primary receiver from what I saw.
