dezertbill Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 They were in the market for a veteran receiver anyways. This just cements it. Kerley is at best a slot. Holmes and co. weren't good enough last year and not expecting them to be different. Need a solid 2nd guy to come in and start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Direhard Fan Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Jones hurt his knee trying to jump out a window very high up I bet and didn't tell anyone. Never got a full explanation about that. So if ready he should be able to out jump everybody. Not to worry. I'm not worried about our WR's. I'm worried about Jones jumping in his next adventure.

Marv's Neighbor Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Not before we have a solid #1 QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 At least our receivers sound like a law firm: Ray Ray and Zay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upside is there. So we picked him up out of the trash can? (I think you meant dispensable or expendable) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokestradamus Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I'm just here to admit that I had a full-on belly laugh at the idea of a post-op Zay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoBills Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 With Zay out for the summer it will give some quality 1st team reps to some of these younger guys. Let's hope for one of them to shine. If no one does and Zay comes back and is not improved it will be a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I'm hoping Foster does well and makes the team as an outside threat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo86 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 On the bright side, Josh Allen has plenty of experience throwing to ****ty WRs from behind a ****ty O-line. He'll feel right at home! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GETTOTHE50 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 No. Im more worried for Shady and QBs because of the offensive line. it is truly offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Moulds on my A** Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Anyone watching All or Nothing Cowboys on Amazon? i wasn't for Dez Bryant coming here before seeing this behind the scenes footage. Dez Bryant has the same passion McD, Beane, Shady... I think now that he's been on the market for a bit, why not gauge a dropping price by the day? If we can get him for a prove it 1 year deal, why not? Especially with Zay having surgery.. we're at that point where we're waiting for cuts. That's a bummer.

PromoTheRobot Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Hard to be worse than last year...and we made the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPP Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Post Op? Forget that Zay still worried me Pre Op? I dont have much confidence that he was/will make a 180 and shine next year considering the woeful season he had and the post season incident as well.....as we pretty much did nothing to improve the WR corp my only hope is guys like strether (sorry if i mispelled) or reilly will get their shot and shine...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NastyNateSoldiers Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 23 hours ago, Luxy312 said: Not worried one bit. Tyrod could only muster 96 YPG to his collective receivers last year. By comparison, OBJ averages over 94 YPG receiving. Ridiculous. I place most of the blame on the worst YPG for collective receivers on Tyrod Taylor and his unwillingness to take shots down field. Now, getting to the players the Bills have and why I am not concerned: Kelvin Benjamin - McDermott says he's 100% and looks good in camp. He's a big young guy and was a 1,000 yard receiver with 9 TD's one year with Carolina. Zay Jones - He played hurt last year and just had surgery. Should be back before the Summer. Big young guy with huge college stats. Andre Holmes - Before Oakland acquired Crabtree (making Holmes disposable) he was a 700 yard receiver with a real QB throwing the ball. Upside is there. Jeremy Kerley - Decent production as a slot guy. Never really slayed it, but he's not lame either. You don't stay in the NFL for 7 years by being trash. Non-rookies Rod Streater, Brandon Reilly, Malachi Dupre, Quay Bray - Obviously here mostly for special teams, and just depth. Rookies Ray-Ray McCloud, Austin Proehl, Robert Foster, Cam Phillips - Of this group, Proehl's pedigree is what I'm most optimistic about. Doing the math here, that's 13 guys. Adding up the better stat years from the guys that look to be the starters, the productivity is there if our QB's are willing to throw the ball. When you talk about even a middle of the road passing game, there's no reason why the bills couldn't take that 96 YPG for receivers and turn it into 150 YPG. That wouldn't even account for productivity that they will get out of Clay, O'Leary, and McCoy and the other non-WR receivers, which should be another 100+ yards. it's on our quarterbacks. That's it in a nutshell. Hows that old saying goes put lipstick on a pig and its still a pig. Well u get the pt. We have the worst wr core in the NFL.

Wagon Circler Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I think Jeremy Kerley will be a pest to defenses. I am also hopeful one of the kids busts out, be it Reilly, Dupree, Ray-Ray, Proehl. Tough news on Zay but not giving up on him. More worried about pass blocking and QB play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock-A-Bye Beasley Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 On 5/24/2018 at 1:56 PM, Mike147 said: Kelvin Benjamin and a healthy Zay Jones are an acceptable #1 and #2 combination. Kerley is a solid slot receiver. Holmes and Streater have shown flashes of play making ability here and there. If we head into the season with those five plus perhaps one of the return specialists on the chart, then we should be okay for the season. Could we be strong? Of course we could, but right now I think I am more concerned about our quarterback position and the production we can expect out of them rather than our receiving depth chart if I'm being perfectly honest. Not if your goal is to win the Super Bowl. I don't even know why Zay is still on the team after that video and last season's play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I've been worried since Sammy and Woods left with no good replacements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Smith Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Actually we have 14 Receivers including Kaelin Clay with playing experience w/ Buf and Car. I won’t be worried about WRs until the last preseason game. If no one stands out, then we will be in deep chips. I believe with proper Qb play, 3-4 on this list will stand out. Maybe more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
