Alphadawg7 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) 6 hours ago, Warcodered said: Despite my skepticism entering into the offseason about how he will fare against better competition in the WR room, I do sincerely hope he takes a step forward and proves he can be a long term good player for this team. This was a good interview from him too. I still do not think his 2nd year was good, and he has earned the critical comments with the drops and general lack of production in well over 70% of his career games. But at the end of the day, he has a great opportunity to prove himself and I could care less about being right about a gut feeling I had in the offseason. I want the best team on the field, and will be rooting for Zay to prove he is part of that best team all camp and preseason. He has got a great work ethic and attitude and is the kind of guy you want to succeed. That being said, it won't be easy. Brown, Foster, Cole, and Duke will all be vying to significant minutes themselves, so it will be fun to watch and wish the kid all the best.

NewEra Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 7 hours ago, John from Riverside said: Robert Foster has it all....size....speed....he gets open My concern with him last year was I felt like he didnt fight for 50/50 balls hard enough.....but by the midway point of the season (after Josh Allen got back from injury...after Foster was brought back up from the practice squad) I thought he had even overcame that. I think John Brown and Robert Foster are going to terrorize defenses because Josh Allen can put that ball ANYWHERE and on a rope.....their vertical threat is very good....which is going to open up the running game underneath. I feel that the bills are about to take off in a BIG way It’s all set up John. We didn’t sign big name playmakers but the playmakers we did sign excel at certain aspects. Brown is a threat to go deep every play. As is Foster. Both with big time speed. They open up the underneath for Beasley,, the new TEs and a solid stable of RBs. The OL looks to be so much more improved with the added talent and the firing of Castillo and addition of Johnson (who seems to be loved). Now we just need Josh to convert 3rd downs and score TDs.

IgotBILLStopay Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 11 hours ago, TPS said: Interesting tidbit from Joe B that they are trying Shaq on the right side as Jerry's back up. That's the side he played at Clemson, so maybe he's more comfortable there. Yes always wondered about that. The first switch in Bills’ OTA to LDE in 2016 was when his shoulder became a concern. Maybe he was used to babying that shoulder coming from the other side. The main problem in 2016-2017 was that he was regarded as a starter and Jerry was well entrenched at RDE. Now that they did not pick up his option, there is no doubt that he is a backup. This maybe the change he needs. I didnt realize that Yarbrough had the opposite problem. He looked great in 2017 as Shaq’s Backup and not so well as Jerry’s backup. So the switch makes great sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have said quite clearly they want to see Ford at RT. I expect by the middle of camp if he is performing with the #2s that they start to work him in with the #1s. I expect Ty to start the first pre-season game RT but as long as Ford is coming along at the right rate I think they will get him out there with the 1st team in the 2nd or 3rd game.

They may simply be trying to establish his positional flexibility since they're going to have serious competition for interior roster spots.

I do feel, and I think he's stated it publicly, that he wants LT. I still feel good about him. I think he meant it when he said he go too comfortable last year and won't let that happen again.

I don't see any way Spain isn't one of their best 5. I do agree with that base, but also with the flexibility that bandit is mentioning. I haven't forgotten some of the formations that Roman had dreamed up. With a young QB, and two possible Hall of Fame running backs, and no dominant receiving targets it makes a lot of sense to have the run open up the pass. With Nseshke as a swing tackle, you can throw him out on some unbalanced lines and create some mismatches that Shady will be salivating over.

But seriously ... I think he'll move up with the 1's Ford could realistically play at either guard or tackle at the professional level as Ford has experience has both positions. Ford played guard throughout his first two seasons at Oklahoma and to right tackle in 2018, where he excelled Has anyone seen Mike Roadhack? Or will ESPN assign a different beat reporter?
