Coach Tuesday Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 CB and RB are gonna be depth/injury issues all year. No coincidence given they're the two positions NE poached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Yeah, unless CK was about to be suspended for a significant amount of time, releasing him was dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunsgoodtime Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Yep. Despite CKs offseason, maybe they should've held onto him at least for the preseason and see how he performed. I didn't like the quick release. He was a very solid back up LT. I agree, none of us will ever agree with all 9f the offseason moves, but I would say that's one most of us disagree on. 2nd round pick, showed real promise finally last year, cheap, and we let him go.

CEN-CAL17 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Jay Skurski @JaySkurski Just caught up with Jonathan Williams. He said his hamstring injury is "very minor" and that he could have kept playing. #Bills 10:36 PM · Aug 10, 2017 from Orchard Park, NY He will sit out all week won't play, Shady will play 1-2 series next week and 3rd game as well. JWil will play a 1-2 series week 3 like Shady and both will be shut down til week 1 regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsgoodtime Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 It made some sense due to the bizarre offseason he had, but his play last year at LT should've trumped his offseason antics, IMO. Solid LTs don't grow on trees. McDermott jumped the gun on that one big time. Who hasn't got drunk and got naked aND ran around when young?

purple haze Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 @JaySkurski Jonathan Williams has a hamstring injury and will "miss some time," #Bills coach Sean McDermott said. Hope it's just a tweak and they took him out as a precaution. He must have still been recovering from his foot injury last season because he looks like a different player; excellent burst, elusive and good speed. Looks like he did at Arkansas.

billsbackto81 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 The most concerning issue to me was the O line. My God Henderson was terrible and Mills was, well Mills. Tyrod is being asked to stay in the pocket, read progression and anticipate throwing WRs open. Kinda hard to do that with 2 seconds to throw and getting flushed out. There is no competent depth on the O line and all the receiving weapons aren't Jack if TTs on his back. I can see everyone slamming Tyrod this season cause he can't complete a pass in 2 seconds and has to bail cause a LB is in his face ready to destroy him. Yeah, their great at run blocking, hurray!

Drunken Pygmy Goat Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Better now than 3 weeks from now. There's like 8 or 9 backs currently on the roster.

Agree -- run those other RBs into the ground, and continue to rest Shady and JWill. OT is one of the toughest learning curves for any rookie and I think he has good competition in camp going up against Shaq and Hughes. I think he will develop into a great fit for this line. Obviously best case scenario is he can start at RT with a healthy Cordy on the other side, with mills as backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardb1952 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I'm thinking Shady can't wait to be out there running through those holes the offense is making. The Vikings have a pretty good defense that the Buffalo first team offense pretty much had their way with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
