Straight Hucklebuck Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Wasn’t today the day that he could sign after 5-straight negative COVID tests?

He's displayed good, strong hands for most of the season, knows every WR position's role on the offense to the level of a vet according to his teammates, has made plays in the role his been given in the offense (3rd / 4th WR option) and has a good number of TD's. He's also been a good blocker on the outside. I think the Bills make it very clear that he is an important piece. Also, he is not a quick, route master type such as what you see in Bease, Diggs and JB. That doesn't make him suck. Craziness, I say. Do we still want to replace Gabriel Davis?

Coach said their interest had nothing to do with injuries and Beane has had interest for some time. He runs a 4.38 40 and Brown is expensive with paydays coming. Dont misunderstand me.

His current contract was nearly identical to JBs - I imagine he will be looking for similar money. I don’t see him signing a cheap multi year deal, but maybe he does. I think they are looking for experience for the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's accredited newspapers (i believe it was an article in the Syracuse paper) saying he was super impressed with his "soon to be teammates." Whats the deal here? Can he even play next week with Covid testing? Is that a thing with street guys? Are we calling dibs on him for the Super Bowl like a layaway system lol.. Crap or get off the pot.

He didn't officially visit until Friday night with a game less than two days away. Beane doesn't make anything official until all the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed and he has to have a physical and pass COVID protocols. Given all that, I didn't expect any announcement until Monday at the earliest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world that you must live in to make a point like that in an all pro play ob for that corner. Let it go man he is REALLY good for a 4 th round rook. Period No kidding - Davis is a fine player, but that does not change the fact that as a rookie there has been several instances where because he is a rookie he has allowed DBs to undercut routes that a more veteran player like Diggs and Brown have prevented. The pass from Allen did him no favors, but that does not mean that it is not noted by the coaching staff where these type of plays occur. It is not a knock on Davis’s talent or a thought he is not playing well - I mean the 2 catches he had were phenomenal, but it is notable that the All-Pro play by a DB was against him and Davis stopped on the sideline (standing there) and he did not come back to help out and it opened a lane underneath him that allowed the DB to make the phenomenal play. Very similar to earlier in the season where he had an out breaking route that he flattened out and stayed level that allowed the Arizona DB to cut under. It has happened several times to him - mostly because he is a rookie without elite speed and therefore must be very precise and it is critical to fight through those DBs. The question becomes from a coaching perspective does McD prefer a faster, veteran player that has playoff experience to be available in the event a call up is needed. I think he would be more confident calling up a guy like Stills if something happens than either guy on the practice squad and he gives a bit more position flexibility as he can fill both slot and outside receiver routes. I don’t think the Stills signing (if and when it happens) changes or replaces Davis in the starting line-up. I believe it is solely a depth signing in the event Beasley or Brown misses additional time and it provides a Veteran with speed to fill the line-up with less drop off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be very interested to see once he is signed is it to the active roster or as a veteran on the PS. Based upon his limited knowledge of the system - I would assume the initial signing will be to the PS as I do not think we have any openings on the active roster with injuries. We will see - I am glad to have Beane thinking these things through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rochesterfan Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Everyone Happy now? The timing lined up exactly when we said and he is signed to the PS - exactly as predicted. Made total sense since he couldn’t clear before the last game - they signed a few just in case guys and replaced them out with more veteran players for the playoffs. Nice job - Beane. 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
