ChicagoRic Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) Nice game by Sweeney. 35 yards and showed really good drive blocking on a Singletary run. Knox: 1 yard. Nothing to report in terms of blocking. Oliver: 2 tackles. I'll take it. Ford: Struggled. Edited September 8, 2019 by ChicagoRic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptnCoke11 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) Good start for some of the rooks.. week 1 so won’t be too critical on Ford yet. Jets front is good. He’ll improve. Edited September 8, 2019 by CaptnCoke11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I liked Singletary but I think Shady scores on two of Singletary's four runs. The first breakaway and the one near the goalline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Sweeney may turn out to be a major surprise of the draft. Obviously he still has a lot to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBill Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Sweeney had a good catch and was in the midst of a few run plays. It looks like we got a steal with him in the 7th round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of what's important to NFL players is respect. Other players notice how stars are treated. Washington didn't even have Adrian Peterson suit up today -- how can you do that and not have other players notice? Shady could still have been very good for the team this year, but he wasn't going to get the carries he's used to. It wouldn't sit well for a rookie to become the lead back while he watches from the sidelines. Cutting him instead of trading him? That shows respect too. Instead of getting a low draft pick for a HOF candidate, they let him pick his team, and possibly get a ring at the end of his career. Good for him. Shady responded with very appreciative tweets about the team and about Buffalo. I think this was handled correctly by the Bills. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just drives me crazy that KC's 3 offensive leaders today were or could have been Bills: Shady, Watkins, and Mahomes.

Yeah, but unless they got Andy Reid as well I don't think the results would have been what you are looking for. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think DS just got used to those jukes working on 95% of college players and figured that was more of a sure thing than outrunning the defender to the corner. Rookie debut jitters I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under 100 different circumstances depending on the play call... Free releases happen all the time, especially with TE's. He ran out into a route, and it's possible that his progression called for a chip, but it's just as likely that he wasn't supposed to chip the end.

jwhit34 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 A look at all of the McDermott/Beane draft picks and UDFA pickups: Good first week for the 2019 draft class: 1. Oliver and Singletary were very good 2. Sweeney performed when called on (2 catches, couldn't tell you on his blocking) 3. Knox not a factor but no negatives 4. Ford struggled 5. D. Johnson in the DE rotation 2018 draft class: 1. Allen up and down but comes through in the end 2. Edmunds - very good game 3. H. Phillips - in rotation acquitted himself well 4. T. Johnson - really good game but got hurt again 5. L Wallace had a very good game 6. S. Neal - solid made a few good plays though had 1-2 shaky ones 7. Foster - nothing 2017 draft class 1. T. White - must have had a very good game they didn't throw much at him 2. Z. Jones - nothing spectacular but made the catches when thrown to 3. D. Dawkins - Looked bad on the one play but overall pretty solid 4. M. Milano - Great game To have 15 players from the last 3 drafts (plus a couple UDFAs) contribute and overall be very good except Ford is very encouraging and really starts to establish a good foundation for the team.
