muppy Posted August 20, 2022 Author Share Posted August 20, 2022 I'll start. I was very entertained in this game. Very encouraged with the play of Case Keenum and also Zack Moss. Third star goes to Shaq Lawson. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna be tough cuts elsewhere. Cuts that not too long ago would have been potential starters on this team. Great problem to have. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewin Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) I'd be surprised if they are able to sneak Blackshear to PS - he had two good performances for other teams to see Kind of crazy how Shakir seems to always be open - it's not like he's breaking ankles with crazy moves - he just always seems to get to the right place Edited August 20, 2022 by stevewin 21 5 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comebackkid Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 need to work on tackling and being stronger at the line on short yardage run plays. other than that looking pretty good. Be a very good day when trey comes back 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the top nine among the d-line is a lock at this point with Shaq/Boogie/AJ battling for two of the three spots each week during the regular season. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a ton of NFL proven RBs cut. Duke Johnson for example. If I remember correctly, Shakir's draft profile was high on his route running.

jlgarsh Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 This might be the deepest Bills team I've ever seen. From DL to RB to WR, there's going to be tough cuts coming up to get to 53. 6 19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hemma Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Hopefully Blackshear came out of the game with a rash/splinter or a nasty blister. May need to get him on IR. I don’t think he makes it to the PS and if he does, somebody will grab him. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's something I noticed about his running. The other backs run just as hard and fast but Cook has a stride in his running that just looks, as you put it, smooth.

Shaw66 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Again, top to bottom, this team is so well prepared. Everyone knows his job, and they do a good job executing. I wish we'd seen the first team against theirs, but that's one of the things that is not so satisfying about preseason. In control two-team scrimmages, the coaches can get the matchups on the field that they want. Keenum still has work to do, calling plays and getting the team out of the huddle. Allen does it flawlessly, Keenum's clearly still learning. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) Stock up: Ken Dorsey Forget the specific playcalling. It was the usual preseason vanilla. This "stock up" is because the offensive operation was crisp and efficient throughout. The playcalls got in on time, the personnel -- which shuttled in and out a ton -- was always where it was supposed to be, when it was supposed to be there, there were very few delays, miscues, and mistakes. This may seem like nothing, but as Steve Tasker mentioned during the game, it's something. Offensive line In both run and pass blocking, the offensive line had a good day. From the starters to the the third string. From Saffold and Bates to Hart and Ford -- they outclassed the Broncos in both the run and pass game all day long. Whether it was giving Keenum ample time to throw or paving the way for an all-runs touchdown drive, the offensive line came to play today. Aaron Kromer looks to have made a huge difference. Running backs All five looked good. Singletary and Moss hit the whole with decisiveness and quickness. Cook showed his speed and his pass-catching acumen. Johnson looked like the slippery, dependable vet he is. Blacksheer looks like a definite practice squad keeper -- if the Bills can manage to get him there! Between the performance of the offensive line and the entire running back depth chart, it sure LOOKS like the Bills are going to have an actual run game this season. Shakir and Hodgins Nothing earth shattering today. Just another series of good route running, quality catches, and good sideline awareness. Shakir also looked like a trustworthy punt returner. I didn't specifically watch Hodgins when he played special teams snaps, but offensively, he's certainly making his case for a roster spot. Case Keenum What a difference a week -- and being protected by the first team o-line and throwing to first team skill players -- makes. Actually, even when the backup linemen and receivers came in, Keenum STILL looked good. It's safe to say all the hand wringing about the Bills' backup QB position can end now. OJ Howard Again, nothing earth shattering here, but he showed a pulse. He made a few catches, one of which saw him use his frame and strength to outmuscle the defender and secure a touchdown. After being invisible all summer, it was nice to see him contribute. Defensive End depth Shaq hasn't forgotten how to stop the run, and he showed good contain on a scrambling QB a few times, as well. Epenesa continued to pressure the passer. At one point, he was chipped by a running back AND facemasked by a tackle, and he STILL got into the QB's face and hurried a pass. His development into what looks to be a quality contributor from the right side is HUGE for this defense, whose best edge rushers all perform better on the left. Boogie Basham had a few nice plays, too, as did Mike Love. Stock down: Penalties There was one sloppy, penalty-filled drive by the offense. There were silly penalties by the defense. On a day where just about everything went right, this is one thing that coach McDermott can bark at his players about after the game. Special teams I realize that the Bills' three best special teams tacklers -- Matakevitch, Jones, and Neal -- weren't playing. Nevertheless, the Bills gave up too many big kick returns today. When the opposing offense is regularly starting past their own 30 yard line, you're not doing a good enough job making tackles on special teams. Depth corners Jackson, Elam, Johnson, and Benford acquitted themselves just fine. After those four, the rest of the cornerback depth chart struggled all day. Granted, guys like J'Marcus Ingram are likely cuts anyway, but still. They did themselves no favors today. All in all, just about a perfect preseason game: No injuries, a resounding victory in front of a fired up home crowd, six straight touchdown drives, sound defense (for most of the first three quarters, anyway), and unstoppable seeming offense. Just about every unit of the team -- with the aforementioned exception of the special teams -- performed well. Today was about as much fun as a preseason game can ever be. One more preseason contest -- in which we'll see only fringe roster players and practice squad candidates -- and then it's onto opening night against the Rams. Gonna be a hell of a year.

Keep in mind that no team is ever going to play 11 backups all at once in the regular season. The question is, how can 1 or 2 backups play among 9 or 10 starters…when they are needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when WNSA was on the air in WNY(including Shoop) and their station mantra was “sports talk for smart people”. WGR is the 180° opposite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
