ColoradoBills Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 20 minutes ago, TigerJ said: I'll be a little surprised if he makes a game day roster. Between Diggs, Brown, Beasley, Davis, Roberts and McKenzie, who are you going to drop, if they are all healthy. Certainly nobody from the first four. Roberts has been too valuable as a return specialist, I would think. That leaves McKenzie. McKenzie is never going to be a starter in the league, but he has carved out a nice role for himself with the ability to get deep on occasion when defenses are focusing on other receivers, and more importantly giving Buffalo an outside run threat on gadget plays. Hodgins gives you something completely different, a big guy with a big catch radius with an unusual ability (for a big man) to create separation with a double move, and supposedly great hands. What does Daboll want in his offense? He's just on the designated to return list. It means 3 weeks of practice and then either activated of shut down for the year. No one is getting dropped. It's a smart move using the new IR rules this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember it’s your team. 2 years ago Bills fans wouldn’t take a first for Foster because he was our great find. Now you have 3 guys who belong on the field in the NFL, Davis who’s doing well for a rookie and that’s really it. The rest are all expendable. It’s a lot better than it was, yes, but emotional attachment to players that could be easily replaced is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanThru-N-Thru Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 He along with Gabe Davis had a good camp and were making plays., then Isaiah hurt his shoulder.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Three weeks of practice and he will "tweak" his shoulder to go back to IR. No room for another WR on the 53. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddo Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 From the highlight reel, it does appear he has good hands. Also looked like he was concentrating on bringing the football in before anything else - something Knox can learn from. Looked comfortable catching the football away from his body. I wouldn't be too quick to assume he won't get on the roster, as he can give something a little different, due to his size, and it's possible he can be worked into the offense in a game that doesn't mean so much, hopefully.

We need that big slot WR that can help fill the gap we’re missing at TE when we face these zone defenses.

Well you get 3 weeks to activate or IR. So if someone gets hurt in the next 3 weeks... He can come on. If not, probably hits IR for the year.

Victory Formation Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 13 hours ago, Limeaid said: That was supposed to be funny but it does not need to. We had a WR George Wilson ( on MNF, he intercepted Tony Romo and returned it for a TD in his first NFL start) who could not break into WR lineup so he practiced with defense and became a strong safety with good hands. That’s a blast from the past.. I remember George, he was a good player indeed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_In_NH Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 There was a lot of hype for Davis not as much for Hodgins in TC. Size and speed sounds good. But who gets left out if he plays. McKenzie, Davis? Maybe he can do what Kumerow does on teams? a d we are saying 7 for 7 as hits in this draft? Lol that’s a fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
