YoloinOhio Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 For those who have watched camp in person, are you sold (at this point) that Streater is a lock to make the roster? Listening to Sal today, he said he sees no way he isn't at least WR4 if not WR3 going into the season. Considering this was after Boldin arrived... I was pretty surprised to hear that. I know that he's looked really solid in camp but really looking forward to seeing him Thurs. night. Wonder if he will be this year's Andre Davis/Deonte Thompson camp hero or if he's the real deal.

C.Biscuit97 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 He has some talent but it's always different when the games, especially the real games, start. Who was the stud wr last preseason? He looked great in the preseason and didn't do a thing in the regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: No he didn't even make the 53. Edited August 9, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big C Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) I think Powell? Think so too. He didn't light it up but was put in a bad spot having to step into a top 3 role at times last season. I guess ideally you'd want them to succeed when given the chance but I didn't think he was awful. Edited August 9, 2017 by Big C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 He will make the team. I have nothing to base that on other than I think he has a cool name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poleshifter Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Dez? If Dez were 6'1, he'd be working on his next career by now. Being 6'4' has kept him working for a couple years IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Powell, but a suspension could spell doom in a field this crowded. Edited August 9, 2017 by #34fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcoam Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Sure, why not, despite this entire forum anointing Holmes as our WR #2 or WR#3 back in March. lol, I always thought there was going to be an open competition at the position to both make the team and where they end up on the depth chart Now I am not convinced Holmes or Brown even make the team, we will see what transpires in the first 3 exhibition games, who gets injured, who does not, and other variables jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 He is actually in a nice postiion.....with the signing of Boldin now there are 3 WR's ahead of him that will command attention and Streater could be a excellent depth guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kota Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Depends on how he performs in games. After Boldin, Watkins, and Zay it's all up in the air on who makes the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Don't rule out cutting all of them and signing a veteran speed guy that is a final cut, as well as keeping, say, Tate as a #5 plus KR and PR. Taiwan Jones may stay as a KR and #4 RB but he doesn't return punts. If we were to add a veteran speed guy to Sammy, Boldin, and Zay, that would be a nice little foursome. Neither Holmes nor Streater do much for me. If I had to, I think I keep Holmes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea. Of course they were. There was nobody here doubting Holmes' hands? Or his relatively modest production with the Raiders? Everyone was anointing him. I think you must have been reading a different forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfansinceday1 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Streater has been consistently good throughout the preseason thus far. We need to see if that translates to actual production starting tomorrow night, needless to say. I am hoping he is the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protocal69 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 When the owner comes out to shake your hand after you make a catch thats a good sign you might make the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 What Streater has shown is that it appears the Bills do have depth at the WR position -- a huge question mark coming into TC. Watkins/Boldin/Jones are your top 3, but now Streater (and to some extent, Holmes) can also come in and you've got a guy like Powell (after the first four weeks) who has shown some flashes in real games as well. Looks like Philly Brown is the guy on the chopping block now, and they'll probably put Shorts on the PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I ask is that the media has been consistently raving about Streater (and opposite on Holmes). i know the preseason games will be a big indicator. Some of Streater's catches that have been posted on Twitter are really impressive. Edited August 9, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxxer Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I read an interview where Streater said he had the same problem Sammy had but on both his feet. He had two good years with the Raiders with the stats and playing time on the upswing, then came the injuries. He's obviously healthy now, so it's probably the natural thing that he makes the team, because he's a good, consistent player. Having Holmes as athe fifth WR with Tate as the special team player can't be considered a bad thing for this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
