If Morris keeps impressing then I believe Sweeney is gone. Crowder needs to show something soon or he could be a surprise cut. Of course we dont see the practices, but with only 3 preseason games each one is critical to show what you got. Crowder’s a good trade candidate. Beane is a wizard at trading players that he was going to cut anyway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a hard time believing it won't be singletary cook and moss, with Gilliam as a 4th runner. Duke cut and Blackshear to PS.

Also, the deep ball up the right sideline, he ran great with the receiver, but he didn't find or make a play on the ball. Someone noted that he didn't look great in the run game, and I noticed that also. Benford was attacking ball carriers. Don't overstate what I said.

We kept hearing, for the last week, that Benford was playing well and maybe was fighting himself into the competition. After watching tonight, I thought that those reports were understated. He looked to me like a guy who's ready to play in the NFL. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elam was lined up on the left side and clearly got picked because he was in man coverage. He was on the crosser.

boyst Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 1 hour ago, YoloinOhio said: This is a good clip to anyone who is learning football. Look at the entire Bills DL and the Colts OL. Look at the distance the DL keeps off of the OL body. 68 of the colts brings the Bills Defender into his body for full leverage and defeats the defender. You can see the player off leverage and being turned by the Colts player. He lost this battle. On the 2nd step he made, he reached too far extending his leverage and shows poor hand battling. Settle kept his balance kept the DL off of him and away from his body to win. Textbook. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattymafia Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Who would have thought 3-4 years ago, that the Bills would have such amazing depth that we'd all be obsessed with a rookie Punter? The Punt God is gonna be an animal. If the punter can pin the opponent to the 20 yard line or less every time we have to punt, that is amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast feet, shifting balance and good vision to mirror his defender Whoever 55 is for us reminds me of a young Hughes. Runs wild, over pursues, doesn't get himseld into a winning outcome despite "being in the backfield" and "making pressure." I did not watch them game. Just listened. On the few clips I have seen I don't see the Colts winning more than 9 games. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut one and pick up a young castoff who you think has potential. If you're down to your third string QB you're screwed anyway so you may as well go with a youngster. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
