LABILLBACKER Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) 11 minutes ago, Agent 91 said: According to the pic is Sweeney suiting up too? Why is the Lee Smith charade still going on Lee Smith? Patrick DiMarco? Senorise Perry? Robert Foster? Either these 4 are offensive juggernauts or they are the greatest ST players in the history of the Buffalo Bill's. You could sit any of these dudes for Yeldon and have TJ play ST. Having Yeldon expands the playbook substantially. Edited January 4, 2020 by LABILLBACKER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say he showed nothing. He was decent in the passing game as an outlet. May have been one of the only successful screen guys this year outside of McKenzie bubble screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Otreply Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 16 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: Wouldn't they put jerseys and pads and stuff out for the entire 53 man roster before the inactives are declared? But Man that's one tacky locker room. Almost makes our visitor facilities look luscious Certainly could be, but I’m quite certain that before the team left Buffalo the players who were going to be playing already knew they were going to be playing. The official announcement of inactive players is for outsiders, not the team. Go Bills!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 16 minutes ago, Ethan in Portland said: It is amazing how the 6th or 7th WR on the roster can have such interest. Don't get me wrong, I think he should have been active for weeks, but I want 90% of targets going to Brown, Knox, Beasley, and Singletary. Because he's good. Because he can actually "catch a ball" better than what we've seen from Knox & Singletary. Duke's catch rate is 63%. Foster's is 18%. Math never lies.

Beasley should never line up wide. He's 5-8 so he's too short for any jump balls and not fast enough for go routes. He should be a slot guy exclusively doing curls and slants. That's his strength. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 ...not much game film on Duke so let 'em guess......not fast but a beast after the ball......Smoke and Beasley will provide the speed.......gimme some Knox and Beasley underneath and/or in the seam......keep 'rm honest with Singeltary and Yeldon (no offense Frank).....
