26CornerBlitz Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 Head Coach Sean McDermott Addresses Zay Jones’ Surgery, National Anthem Policy and QB Competition Opening Statement: Alright, good morning. We’ll go ahead and get started. I’m going to start off with a little injury update: Zay Jones had surgery late last week on his knee. He’ll be out the remainder of this spring. Other than that, I don’t have a timetable for you at this point other than it was best for us to get this done now. It’s something [where] he had a little bit of an ongoing deal as he was rehabbing the knee and of course, he was additionally rehabbing the shoulder as well. From that, I’ll open it up to your questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 WHAT THE QBS ARE SAYING ABOUT THEIR POSITION COMPETITION Three days in to OTAs and three days in to the open competition at quarterback. Josh Allen, A.J. McCarron and Nathan Peterman have spent that time taking reps, while learning Brian Daboll’s new scheme for the offense. Here are some of their thoughts on how they feel they’re faring following the first week of practices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDH Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I think it's interesting that most here don't want to believe that Peterman could end up being the opening day starter. Nobody on this roster, right now, is better than Tyrod (and no, I didn't want TT to stay on as the starter.) Yet, McDermott thought enough of Peterman to bench TT in the middle of the playoff hunt. That tells you what the HC thinks of Peterman. Just because the fanbase has lost faith in Peterman after one start doesn't mean the coach has - and he obviously hasn't. If it was as clear cut as everybody on the board wants to believe McDermott wouldn't be giving Peterman a chance, he'd be giving all the 1st team reps to AJ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely true, but I think some are going overboard with the "he knows nothing about offense" as well. I think McD put his faith in Dennison last season and when the results were less than satisfactory he made a change. It's safe to say that when you put together a successful defense it means you also understand offenses. I think McD deserves the benefit of the doubt to see how the offense performs with Daboll running the show. Citing Mike Tolbert -- a guy who was almost exclusively brought in to preach McD's gospel -- as evidence he's clueless on offense is a little short-sighted. Plus, Dennison was calling those plays not McD. Both Dennison and Tolbert are now gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 7 observations from 2018 Buffalo Bills OTAs, Week One ORCHARD PARK, NY (WKBW) - While it was the third day of Organized Team Activities for the Buffalo Bills on Thursday, it was the first time the media was able to witness the practice in full and to learn all about this year's iteration of the roster. It's still quite early into the process, and there are numerous examples of there being fool's gold during OTAs, but it's also a time for players to put themselves in a good light with the coaching staff if they can string solid practices together over the three-week stretch. That, combined with finding out where the coaching staff initially projected certain players with positions, are the most significant things to glean from practices such as these. Keeping all of that in mind, what stood out as the Bills took to the field during their first week of OTAs? Seven observations from Thursday's practice: 1) Josh Allen shows progress throwing left 2) Tremaine Edmunds locked in at MLB 3) A shuffle of the interior offensive line 4) Taron Johnson gets his fill of reps at nickel 5) Yarbrough makes high profile switch 6) Zay Jones shelved, while Benjamin takes a step forward 7) Two unheralded WRs stand out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not talking about some highly valued prospect. We have him under a very friendly contract for the next 3 years. Not sure why we would cut him at this point. He played a terrible game in his first start. He was going up against a solid secondary and Zay zones was our #1 wr after KB got broken. Our OL was letting the DL run into the backfield untouched. He then played a very solid half vs the colts in some of the worst conditions I’ve ever seen. He won that game for us. Personally, I think he’ll make a fine backup once he gets acclimated. At his current salary, I think we’d be stupid to cut him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
