BADOLBILZ Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 4 hours ago, MrEpsYtown said: I've been begging for them to sign Gentry off the Bears p-squad and Daurice Fountain off the Colts. Fountain was an absolute terror in the East West game and it is dumb that he is sitting on a practice squad and not on an active roster. There might be something more there to why they don't want him. Is he super douchey? And Allen gets douchey when he's around him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section122 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 4 hours ago, JESSEFEFFER said: This idea has kicked around awhile and I say I'm keen on it. Think how many times Gentry caught an Allen throw in their time together. His hands are probably trained to do it. He is used to the power and he probably knows not to quit on his routes and where to be on a scramble. Get him on the active roster and see if there is any chemistry there to exploit at this level. Logically there must be something there to justify the experiment. Gentry is 6'2' 200+ so he is not small. Yeah the chemistry is what i was thinking of. Similar to deonte Thompson and tyrod or fitz and stevie johnson. Gentry made some nice catches in the college highlight reels of Allen and the Bills are officially in a youth movement it seems to make sense to me.

Buffalo716 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Brandon Reilly is like a faster version and we cut him and never looked back you can find a guy like him every year UDFA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlgarsh Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Matt Moore wasn't a bad suggestion at the time. Now, I hope Barkley sticks around as Allen's backup. It's the first time in ages we have a backup that could actually come in and play. He's no superstar, but good enough to run the offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rad Likes The Bills Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Guys... he has been on the bears Practice squad for TWO years. If he was worth anything he would’ve been signed by now. The bears aren’t exactly loaded at WR either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t here to slob some Gentry knob. My post was in response to “what does Gentry have over Reilly.” Which I believe my points are still applicable. I never said Gentry was some god send. People are still stuck on Reilly because he is a white dude who made like 2 tough catches in preseason in 2017 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus if it was just about speed, we have foster, Ray-Ray, McKenzie. We need more of a possession type, or scramble drill type. Our speed is fine tbh. personally I don’t care if we sign Gentry. I do however think it’s interesting strictly from the Allen connection and knowing to work with Allen’s scrambling ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there are some great hall of famers who didn't have a good 40 time as receivers. But they did run excellent routes and had great hands. Another ec Wyoming receiver the Bills should look at is Jacob Hollister at tight end. He is on the Patriots roster. Bellicek made room for him on the roster. And we all know how poor his judgement is on tight ends. So that would be one more person they could pick up that Allen could us. If they could pry him away from the Patriots.

Perhaps it's a Marquise Goodwin situation and he needs to see the clowning dream out before he can be all in on professional football? Just asking questions in this thread.
