Coach Tuesday Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) Great article on Diggs from Tyler Dunne. How about this gem? Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good: “A blizzard of this magnitude requires juuuustthe right amount of barometric pressure. So in truth, in Buffalo, it’s been three-plus years in the making. The search for a No. 1 wide receiver began almost immediately: Sean McDermott’s first draft in 2017. That night, McDermott was smitten with Zay Jones. The wide receivers coach he had just hired (Phil McGeoghan) coached Jones at East Carolina so the Bills gave serious consideration to drafting Jones at No. 27 overall after, gulp, trading out of the No. 10 pick that landed Patrick Mahomes. They were close — very close — to pulling the trigger. After further discussion, the Bills instead opted to wait and draft the cornerback who was higher on their board: Tre’Davious White. And they got their receiver in the second round.” Edited January 18, 2021 by Coach Tuesday Added quotes 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimKellyTryouts Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Great article. I really liked that snippet about how he was focused so hard on working on his deceleration, and how the bulk of his highlights we see are just that. Recruiting the rest of his teammates to work out in Florida with his trainer was also very cool to hear! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Good read but it was a little concerning at the end. It’s hard to say whether he will demand a new contract. If so, the magic could come to a screeching halt. There could be too many mouths to feed. First the Bills need to lock up Josh Allen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Very, very scary. Quote That night, McDermott was smitten with Zay Jones. The wide receivers coach he had just hired (Phil McGeoghan) coached Jones at East Carolina so the Bills gave serious consideration to drafting Jones at No. 27 overall after, gulp, trading out of the No. 10 pick that landed Patrick Mahomes. They were close — very close — to pulling the trigger. After further discussion, the Bills instead opted to wait and draft the cornerback who was higher on their board: Tre’Davious White. And they got their receiver in the second round. Jones, obviously, did not pan out. And neither did Phil McGeoghan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
