tomur67 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I feel for the WR's wanting to make a final good impression and having Jackson firing wayward missiles. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Luck. I don't think there are going to be too many guys playing tonight who will have much of a chance, anyway. I suspect that the more snaps a WR gets, the less likely he's being considered for the 53. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Luck. Josh has his share of off target missiles, seeing Duke handle a few of them might help his cause. Think of our WR's if John Brown and Bease are injured. They're little dudes, it's likely one or both will miss time this year. Let's say they both do at the same time, I think Zay would go back to slot, Foster/Roberts and McKenzie would be next up. Zay caught 7 TD's last year, he's gonna be needed. I think they will go McKenzie and put Duke on PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t lose the ball in traffic when a corner puts a hand in there. I’d like to see him on this roster. I’m rooting for him and McKenzie to make the cut.

VW82 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) I don't think there are any WRs on the bubble. We're going to keep our top 6 and that's it, especially now with Beane saying they haven't ruled out keeping Kroft on the active roster (four TEs).

Kelly the Dog Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I think we have to be careful with the phrase "plays special teams" as a value add, which it often is. Marcus Murphy and Isaiah McKenzie are returners. They do not really play special teams if you have Andre Roberts on your team. Sure, he could get hurt and you need a backup but those guys are not going to be on the active 47 because of special teams whatsoever. They won't play one snap. Foster, and even Duke have played non-returner ST this preseason. That is a value add, not Murphy or McKittrick, regardless of how decent or good they are as returners.

McKenzie is likely to make it because he makes plays, he gets open and catches the ball, and he's deadly on jet sweeps. His ST play has very little to do with whether he makes or does not make the team. If we didn't have Roberts, then him being able to return punts and KOs would be a big advantage. But we do have Roberts, and unless he gets hurt, McKenzie will never get one return. And therefore see no special teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherlock Holmes Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 My boy Sills V with the game winner!! What a play! All i'm saying is Zay isn't hauling in a rocket straight off his chest in double coverage while being hit.... He wouldn't have caught that $#!+ if he were wide open with nobody around, the ball would've donked off his stupid face into the stands. Congrats Tyree and Sills V, huge comeback and huge play, great win, great preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a really important tackle for his immediate future on the Bills, given that they dressed him precisely for STs evaluation.

Bubba Gump Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Duke has the best hands on the team and he fights for the ball. Also blocks very well (I specifically watched his blocking tonight). Will be a shame if he is cut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
