Mister Defense Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Almost every summer at least one player pleasantly surprises in training camp and preseason. I realize that this is more about hoping this is the case than anything else. This summer, my prediction is that Duke Williams and Devin Singletary will be those players. In this case, if these two players come through, combined with a great defense and Josh Allen progressing, the Bills will be a very solid playoff team. They can help turn around two of the weakest areas from last year and also play a big role in Allen's progression. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I think Jaquan Johnson might have a really good pre-season and while I am slightly surprised with his off-field incident that my guy Tyrel Dodson is still on the roster I give him a shot of sneaking onto the 53.

That's why he wasn't cut I think he's making the squad... I had a late 6th grade on him but even higher to start the year He can be a great SAM in our D.

Patrick Duffy Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Gona go out on a limb here and predict Sills. I think he might come in and make some noise between TC and during preseason. Just a hunch I guess. Also think Josh Allen will look a lot better during TC and preseason with a year under his belt in this system. Of course we all know it doesn't mean much til Sept, but anyways, that's my 2 guesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil The Thrill Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Great topic! I’m going to go with...WR Nick Easley.

Depending on how you value the opinion of Chris Simms, he rates Joseph very close to the two Devins...Bush and White. Joseph certainly has an arsenal of tools at his disposal if he matures and plays by the rules. Edited July 23, 2019 by Rocket94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I’m higher on Croom than most, but seeing that they drafted two at his position (telling me they are not totally infatuated....other than maybe the owners’ daughter), I’ll say Singletary later in the year. I suspect given their age Gore and/or Shady will be limited at best by mid-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) I'll go with Garrett McGhin. No, he's not going to make the 53 man roster, but he's a big, strong athletic guy who is going to show he can correct the technique weaknesses he had coming out of college. He's also got position flexibility, having played every spot on the line but left tackle. He will make the PS.

See some people saying Cole, Allen, etc...would those really be a “surprise” when they are expected to look good lol? I like the 2 you chose and also David Sills at the skill positions to potentially turn some heads in camp. I said on draft night I think Singletary is going to be a hard guy to keep on the bench and feel he will shock some people with how elusive and powerful he is as a RB. Another guy I think will surprise some people is Trent Murphy. He’s got a lot of doubters and haters around here, but now that he’s finally fully back from injury and confident in his body again, I think he’s going to really shine with all the talent in that front 7. Another guy I like to surprise on D is Kevin Johnson. I think he is another guy whose got the injuries behind him and will be someone turning heads in camp. And the shout out out for the Vets...I think Ty is going to surprise a lot of people and win a starting job in the new OL and Dawkins or Ford may slide inside or he could even push Ford to the bench to bring along slower. End of the day, they want to protect Allen to the fullest, and I think there is a good chance the rookie will start the season as a reserve and groomed before being handed a starting spot. We got a lot of quality vets on this team now, so there is no pressure to rush him into starting. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that he will adapt to the NFL speed and continue to be elusive and shifty. I am rooting for Kevin Johnson as well. He is still a young man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
