I just loved those guys, regardless of production Yeah me too, the whole team really. Fitzy, Freddy, Chan, of course Meatball too, even ol' foghorn leghorn himself at GM Fun to watch, and the first time Bills football was enjoyable since before "Skeletor" Jauron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution: Sign Tanner Gentry off the Bears practice squad. The guy isn’t blazing fast but catches everything. I call him a taller Wes Welker. Josh Allen and Tanner Gentry spent their summers together in Laramie running routes and playing catch on a daily basis. They have an amazing rapport. Gentry rarely (if ever) dropped an on target Allen pass. Bills should act quickly. Anthony Miller was hurt today for the Bears and Gentry is a possible signee to the active roster. Gentry would have caught that Foster ball. I completely agree. I think this guy could be an upgraded version of the next Chris Hogan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) I've never heard of this Asap guy but if you think he's the right fit, who am I to question it. Jokes aside I wouldn't mind it with the featherstones we have at WR. Edited September 24, 2018 by The Wiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrizzReaper Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) I'll tell you what these guys have been failing Allen over and over again on his deep passes... Foster has had what like 3 solid deep passes sent his way that he hasn't grabbed. It's frustrating to see it because those big chunks of yardage like that can swing momentum. These guys need to start hauling in these fricken passes! Benjamin just looks like he doesn't even care... Idk how much longer McDermott allows him to half ass it out there. It's getting to a point I'd think where he has to say ya know what let me put someone out there who wants to be out there balling.

LABILLBACKER Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 The key to this entire discussion is that Josh and Tanner are very familiar with each other and have chemistry. That can go a long way in this league. And honestly folks can you be any worse than Zay Jones or Robert Foster. The answer is no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you want to use a roster spot on a rookie WR who will now need to learn our playbook just because he played at Wyoming with Allen?

And it still isn't very good this season either and he's still on the practice squad. Bears have fine receivers. Who are you talking about?

Would kill for Stevie Johnson, Donald Jones, and David Nelson right now even. KB is just terrible. Sure, give this Gentry kid a shot. Are you sure? Many posters here have assured me that he is a great WR, since the moment we acquired him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason Allen’s stats dropped off significantly from 2016 to 2017 in college. Kenny Britt is the last guy Josh Allen needs to be successful. I haven’t followed the Bills until this year but drops appear to be a serious issue. Kenny Britt is king of the all world talent but can’t actually catch the ball. Gentry catches Allen’s rockets plain and simple. Don’t see a lot of guys currently on the Bills roster that I can say the same thing about. My two cents without having watched those guys at training camp, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gentry played at little Wyoming and didn’t face any ‘real’ competition so he must not be any good and will absolutely be a bust when he faces ‘real’ competition. You may have seen that argument made before too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have seen that argument made before too. I really appreciate your insight and you sharing your experiences with watching Josh in college. I live in Las Vegas, and I questioned the wisdom of drafting a quarterback from the Mountain West conference. But I was so wrong. He is an amazing athlete. We come to two Bills Drive. Glad to have you on our bandwagon. Edited September 24, 2018 by longtimebillsfan Error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefan66 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 What could it hurt? From top to bottom, our WR’s have not earned any job security. I’d even take a flier on Reilly. He may not be fast, but last years preseason he seemed to catch everything. A little time for may motivate him. Next step is to get KB in front of the Jugs machine at its highest setting. Dude can’t handle Allen’s fastball at all. One of his catches yesterday he cradled more than caught, and looked like he was going to drop it.
