YoloinOhio Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 6'4" Dez Lewis is tallest WR on the team ... Why he thinks hes better prepared to make leap onto Bills roster http://bills.buffalonews.com/2016/05/09/why-dezmin-lewis-thinks-hes-better-prepared-to-make-leap-onto-bills-roster/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyToTasker Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I met him last year at training camp, a polite young guy. Sammy was working with him after practice. I noticed two things: 1. Sammy is a pro's pro. A teacher at a young age. 2. Dez will work to improve his craft. I'm pulling for him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one of the articles about Listenbee it said that Sammy was one of his idols and he saw him at the airport when he came in for his pre-draft visit and was too scared to say hi. Ha. Hopefully he can take him under his wing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I hope he makes it Yolo. It would be nice to have one tall redbone threat at WR. Just think about Chandler. Good hands, but zero speed so great for a toss up in the corner of end zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good hands, but zero speed so great for a toss up in the corner of end zone.his size advantage helps his cause, as long as he is polishing up the routes and doesn't drop a lot of balls in camp. But the size sets him apart somewhat. Chandler was never the red zone threat he should have been at that size.

Hopefully he can take him under his wing too. The intangibles with Sammy are in part why I was so frustrated with him being ranked 96th in the NFL's top 100. Listenbee and Dez are the same age or older than Sammy (22 and 23 respectively), yet they look at him in such a pristine manner (Sammy has accomplished much, realizes his talent, and continues to strive for improvement - his want to improve resembles the greats, like a Jerry Rice).

Good hands, but zero speed so great for a toss up in the corner of end zone. IIRC, one of Dezmin's reported strengths in his draft reports was, apart from just his height, his ability to high-point a ball. That's a pretty valuable skill at 6'4". I don't recall Chandler high-pointing a ball ever. I'm really pulling for Dez, and looking forward to the WR competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he can take him under his wing too. I hope Listenbee works out for us at the NFL level, if learns how to beat the press and catch more balls with his hands and not his body hes gonna be dangerous. Dez needs work with the jug machine, guy dropped a lot of passes in the pre-season last year from what I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 I think the WRs will benefit simply from not having a long, drawn out QB competition. Splitting reps evenly among 3 guys all the way through until the end of August last year could not have helped them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didnt help anyone really, this is another reason why I think the offense takes a step forward this year. DUDE CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW OUR SEASON WOULDVE WENT IF WE STUCK WITH CASSEL AND NEVER SIGNED TT? We probably wouldve been the ones that drafted Wentz lol. I truly Billieve that Cassel wouldve got benched mid-season for Ej. Matt was terrible on the Cows. Edited May 10, 2016 by Marty McFly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webster Guy Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 i still think listenbee goes practice squad, easley gets a spot again, then dez, hankerson, salas and goodwin complete the 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) i still think listenbee goes practice squad, easley gets a spot again, then dez, hankerson, salas and goodwin complete the 7.Easley had his knee all sorts of jacked up, wonder how that comes back... Listenbee The way he attacks the jump ball combined with his frame and speed. If they can polish him that is a VERY interesting vertical option. I Could see him pass a number of guys on the depth chart if he's got the drive. Dez- what about him in the slot? Run the tall dude over the middle for Tyrod !!

Man for our sake I hope you are wrong. I really like how Listenbee fights for the ball in the air, he is the fastest and benched the most out of all WR in the draft. (if he can improve his ability to beat the press, and hone his route tree skills he could be a mini- Hines Ward) Is it too late to bring back Deonte Thompson? does anyone remember him from last pre-season? He had a hell of a run and played better then Dez did. Edited May 10, 2016 by Marty McFly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woods is such a fearless player he seems better designed for the slot, but Rex says Dez has been a gym rat so maybe this is his year. Not a burner though, so the best he can get is 4th WR on the chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevyVanMiller Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 what's a redbone? I thought that was a curious description, too. TOP DEFINITION redbone Light skinned female/male mixed with black and another race. "she doesn't look full black, she must be a redbone" Kinda racist, no?

John from Riverside Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Oh boy. You can catch or you can't by now. Agreed.....its unfortunate but....it was a late round pick....worth the gamble at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Past Sammy and Woods there are 3 spots to be had on this roster at WR (Easley has a good shot to be the 6th WR for Special teams purposes). Lewis, Goodwin, Listenbee, Hankerson, and the rest of the camp guys all will be competing for those 3 roster spots. Should be an interesting camp battle but really shows the lack of depth on the Bills roster at the WR position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
