The defense is always ahead of the offense this time of year. Look at all the drops he had! We just need to clean the rust off and get those WR to focus. He's not throwing picks - he's making good decisions. etc. well lets just be happy we havnt had to take that route yet! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s just weird how much stock some fans put in practice reports (we are all excited). I just remember when I played, we would have terrible practices, coaches would scream at us and make us run until we couldn’t walk, then they would cancel the next practice because we suck. Then, we would have a great practice and they loved us again. I dont think the Bills in the 90s even practiced in training camp haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transplantbillsfan Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) 4 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: Gunner summed it up: "I make that Foster 5; Zay 5; Beasley 4; Brown 3 (but we know he has had significant snaps every day); Then 2 for McKenzie and one for Cam Phillips." I'm not sure what your point is here. The reason Foster's name shows up is that the team likes him and wants to give him every chance But these are only 7 out of 24 or so plays in (I think) the team portion of practice. It doesn't reflect the team's depth chart now or in the season. Based on what's been reported so far, if you think Foster and Zay are seeing the field more than Beasley and Brown now or will get more during the season unless injuries (avert), I don't know what to tell you The bolded was my point exactly Edited July 29, 2019 by transplantbillsfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks who have been commenting on the offense- and passing game- centered nature of Astro and other camp coverage - check out the 2nd link from Sean Murphy at Buffalo Rumblings. Got some good detail on the defense, what Ed Oliver is being coached up on, who's running with the 2nds and the 3rds on the DL. Some good writing too - Josh Allen and Beasley doing karate in the garage ?? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it appear that he maintain possession all the way to the ground? Then yes, it's a catch. Did his catch occur in the end zone to give the Steelers the lead in the final seconds of a game vs. NE*?? Then no, it's not a catch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, it was abysmal coverage at that. Somehow they managed to put the show's host (Nate) in a spot that he could not see the field from! So they had Sal reporting from the field, but Nate talked over him, asking the same old things over and over, barely stopping every few minutes to get a few words from Sal. Meanwhile, we could hear oohs, cheers and other reactions from the crowd. It was beyond frustrating. Couldn't have been produced any worse. WGR owes its listeners a whole lot better.

We've got an up-and-coming HC, a young stud at QB, a roster finally brimming with talent, and a front office that is actually following through on a plan! I read posts "worrying" about this and that -- a post earlier in this thread is by someone apparently "terrified" about how a player may let him down. Get a grip! If you can't have fun with this team after all we've been through as Bills fans please consult your mental health professional immediately! BBFS has a cure! Been a die hard fan since 1963. Pumping up every TC can wear on you, but I can tell it's happening again. My wife says I'll never learn and that's likely so! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transplantbillsfan Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 https://theathletic.com/1104285/2019/07/29/through-four-days-of-bills-camp-thoughts-and-analysis-on-all-91-players/ Wide receiver If the first four days are any indication, Brown and Beasley will be front and center of the Bills’ passing attack in 2019. Brown has already shown off his deep-route ability to beat the defender, track the ball over his shoulder and complete the catch. It’s his intermediate route running to the sidelines, however, that’s largely underrated. The route complements Allen’s arm strength just as much as the deep ball. The early signs for this connection are all positive. As for Beasley’s footwork and route set-up are, I can recall only one Bills receiver in recent memory who was as agile: Stevie Johnson. Beasley reads the defender much like a ball-handler in basketball when trying to set up a crossover. It took a few misfires through the first two days, but Allen and Beasley got on the same page in a big way when the pads went on over the weekend. On Sunday, it resulted in six receptions on 17 pass attempts. Zay Jones and Robert Foster have their work cut out for them if they want to be prolific pieces of this offense. Outside of an early red-zone catch and coaches vocally admiring his route-running, Jones has been mostly silent. Despite the lack of targets, Jones has been working primarily with the first-team offense. The former second-round pick also sat out of team drills Sunday for an undisclosed reason and was spotted speaking with members of the medical staff after practice. Foster has been working mostly with the second unit as Brown’s primary backup. Although Foster is considerably taller than Brown, they have similar skill sets, and the second-year player has flocked to the veteran as a mentor. Through four days, Foster is firmly the fourth wide receiver. Andre Roberts has worked on both the inside and outside of the formation. Along with his returning duties, he seems entrenched as the fifth receiver on the depth chart. The battle for the sixth spot starts with slot man Ray-Ray McCloud. The 2018 sixth-round pick returned to Buffalo with a more chiseled physique and it’s showed so far in on-field results. Victor Bolden Jr. had a strong spring but has since disappeared, working behind both Brown and Foster. Cam Phillips, as he did last summer, has made some flashy plays that have created more opportunities for him — including time with the first unit in Jones’ normal spot on Sunday. Undrafted slot receiver Nick Easley has also provided some spark with the third-team offense. Isaiah McKenzie, Duke Williams and David Sills V have all faded into the background at camp.
