ddaryl Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) Kind of follows what is being built here. Find guys that want to work hard and be apart of something... This should be the new norm for becoming a Buffalo Bill. 80 + players working their asses off has to make it a tough competitive camp Edited June 29, 2019 by ddaryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray-Ray is probably in the same boat, but of the 2 he's less likely to be claimed on waivers & can be put on the practice squad. I don't entirely agree with this. If the Bills carry six WRs (likely), then McKensie has a decent chance because of his special teams acumen alone. In fact, with Roberts probably seeing few offensive snaps as the primary kick returner, we could carry seven. But, that far down the depth chart, players have to play ST, and McKensie has proven that. He's also shown quite a bit of versatility, which fits well with Daboll's offense. All that being said, I suspect he doesn't make the 53, but I don't hold much certainty. 29 minutes ago, RocCityRoller said: Disagree but I see 7 WR Foster (Speed) Brown (Speed) Jones (Possession) Beasley (Possession) Roberts (Special Teams) McKenzie (Gadget) Sills/ Duke/ Ray Ray I like this, although I would put Duke in front of Sills, and I wouldn't omit Bolden Jr. Edited June 29, 2019 by Rocky Landing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he needs to work on is not being carted off the field back to back games only to "miraculously" reappear He had durability issues in Denver and he is still getting dinged up here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand12 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) 22 hours ago, TigerJ said: the fact that Brandon Beane added talent in several areas of the team has lit a fire under the guys who were here before. I think that the Bills are going to cut a few receivers who have a good shot at hooking up with another team. I don't know if McKenzie makes the team or not, but I'm guessing if he's cut, he does not stay unemployed. I'm pretty sure that John Brown, Cole Beasley, Zay Jones, and Robert Foster make the team (unlike sports hack, Cien Fahey). Andre Roberts has the inside track for return specialist/WR, though I don't think he's an absolute lock. The battle for that 6th spot is going to be brutal. Do the Bills want the physicality of Duke Williams, the college touchdown proclivity of David Sills V, the veteran presence of Isaiah McKenzie, or Victor Bolden (who's been impressive this spring), another slot specialist in Nick Easley, a gadget WR like Ray Ray McCloud, a route running, hands of glue slowpoke like Cam Phillips, or Da'Mari Scott. an all around average player - average speed. average size, average everything else. I think Duke Williams is pretty compelling given he's so different from anyone else Buffalo has, but I don't know that Sean McDermott thinks so. this post brings to light the complexity and depth of the competition at WR. has been mentioned bill might be light at TE starting the season with Kroft and Croom missing reps. perhaps Bills go into the season with an extra WR. stashing WRs on PS should be quite a challenge this year : ) Edited June 29, 2019 by 3rdand12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray-Ray is probably in the same boat, but of the 2 he's less likely to be claimed on waivers & can be put on the practice squad. Brown and Foster do not do what McKenzie does. McKenzie on offense was the gadget / slot guy. He wasn't running go routes on the outside. Roberts does replace in the return game. Whether he can on offense I doubt. Beasley takes over as the starting slot. So it becomes about what they want from their back end of the roster receivers. Do they want size? Or do they want that gadget type? I suspect the latter so McKenzie, Ray-Ray and Bolden Jnr are probably battling each other as the candidates for that.

Buffalo03 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Is there any way to designate Andre Roberts as just a kick return specialist? I would hate to only keep 6 receivers and lose out on one of the other guy because a kick returner is taking the spot of one of the receivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. Cover 1 has a great article on how those two changed not only our offense, but the way defenses approached us. Good things tend to happen when opposing defenses are forced to respect the weapons you have and can't just send the kitchen sink at the QB/rbs knowing the outside receivers couldn't get separation from a traffic cone.
