Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Bills activate John Brown from Covid-19 list. BIG sigh of relief. https://www.buffalobills.com/news/bills-activate-john-brown-from-reserve-covid-19-list-announce-these-other-moves They also activated C Wade and safety Josh Thomas back onto the Practice Squad "The team also signed wide receiver J.J. Nelson and cornerback Duke Thomas to the practice squad. Offensive lineman Marquel Harrell, linebacker Deon Lacey and cornerback Lafayette Pitts have been released from the practice squad." Nelson is a small fast guy, 5'10" 160 lbs. Screamin' hot 4.28s 40 time, 36" vertical leap Attended Alabama but did not overlap with Daboll, drafted in 2015. Older guy - 28. Teammate of John Brown on the Cardinals, played for them 2015-2018. 5th round pick. Played for Oakland last season, was released on 10 October (3 days after they traded for Zay Jones). Was signed by SF 49'ers but injured, released with an injury settlement at the start of the season. 26 minutes ago, JMF2006 said: Game manager...get him behind and watch him fold If you can get up a couple scores it takes 22 out of play and then Tannehill has to make throws he is not comfotable with. I'm not quite sure that fits the data from the last couple years in Tenn. But, I have not watched a lot of their games Just glancing at 2019 here that the guy has a 73% completion percentage when trailing, 115 out of 158 passes, 12 TD, 3 INT, 116 passer rating https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/T/TannRy00/splits/2019/ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, why didn't they sign him earlier? He was released with an injury settlement September 6th. Knee injury reported at the time to be 2-4 weeks, so the injury settlement would probably have been 4 weeks and they could have signed him in October (of course, he could have not wanted to sign here then) Do you know why the Bills have been after him?

But his catch % with Arizona is not promising, and that was with 2.5 years of Carson Palmer throwing to him. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/N/NelsJJ00.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 49 minutes ago, Coffeesforclosers said: I'm thinking McD might surprise us here by being ruthless and playing the starters. Mostly to keep the Bills humming along in top form, but also to play up the narrative that Tua needs his bearded Binky from Harvard to hold his hand. I like the idea of recreating Kelly v Marino in Tua v Allen. But I want a scenario like Brady vs AFCE scrub of the week a lot more. a few starters not playing will not disrupt the team. They will still practice and be ready for 1st playoff game...Diggs, Allen, Tre...should not play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjag Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I just finished watching the Daboll interview. He said MNF was the first game the Bills O had no pre-snap penalties. I tracked they had three penalties in the game. I remember two of them, the PI on White and the holding call on the return. The other doesn't matter. I see this as a major improvement going forward. Part of it I attribute to the OLine playing in the same position for a few games now. Keep it going. These are the subtle but important changes that make a good team, a playoff winning team.

I wonder if Beane has an inflated view of him since One of Nelson’s best games came against the panthers in 2016 (8 catches; 79 yards; 2 TD’s). 2 minutes ago, wjag said: I just finished watching the Daboll interview.

But the overall lack of penalties in that game isn’t too much to read into. The refs were awful— they weren’t calling anything, especially any offensive holds. Guys were getting mugged (both teams).

BearNorth Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Truthfully the Epenesa penalty was probably unavoidable, he was going for the sack/big hit on the QB and was a microsecond late. Yes it was a high hit, but how many times has Allen been hit like that this year with nothing called. NFL really needs to understand that 280 pound people at 15 mph, can't always exactly hit the QB in the perfect place, esp when said QB ducks when about to be hit.

The third was the total crap roughing the passer call on Epenesa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, context needs to be applied by the ref in these situations. Like the Milano roughing penalty against Denver. There's a difference of premeditation that should be considered a foul, as opposed to just incidental contact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premeditation cannot be a factor in these calls. A referee cannot be expected to read a players mind. They have to base their judgment on how to play turned out whether it was premeditated or incidental. I agree with you that some of the calls including the one on Milano were questionable.For example, most facemask penalties are not intentional but incidental but you have to call out every time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
