He'll probably make out OK in any case.  At the very least he'll have a paycheck on the PS, with a good chance another team signs him at some point.

 

When Blackshear and Duke get cut, I doubt very much both get picked up.  There will be a lot of decent RBs getting cut in September.

Best Bills preseason game itself ever, IMO.

 

I do miss the 90's preseason tailgates before they decided to try to make the preseason about bringing kids to games though..........it was never kid-centric before that.     Back then the preseason games in Lot 1 were basically "scantily clad women" day........often a bigger party atmosphere than the regular season games.   Bills have done a great job giving kids things to do more recently though.........when they first started it up kids were bored AF.    Can't just say it's kids day........you gotta' make it fun for them.

 

Also noted that reading thru some of the threads I love the people comparing players to former Bills players who wore the same number but they are like "I don't know what it is......but he reminds me so much of this guy".

I had a perfect view of that from my seats yesterday.  I could see the route, release and catch. I gasped as I thought it could be intercepted when he released it.  It was absolutely a perfect route, pass and catch. 

Nonsense.  Only Tua throws 'perfect passes'. 🤨

Elam got absolutely roasted on the first play of the game by KJ Hinton. It was the one where Johnson airmailed it. If that’s Wilson it’s a 30 yard gain on the first play. He also had a Facemask penalty. He was far from perfect despite PFF

Not so sure about that. Before the snap he was backing off about 5 yards and then Hinton just ran a quick slant with no one there to intercept the route. And if Hinton caught it he would have gotten 12-15 yards, not 30. Seemed like the play was designed to get Edmunds in the face of the QB to disrupt the timing of the pass and that's exactly what happened.

  I haerd on OBL FR

 

I heard on OBL Friday that Bruce spent considerable time at practice helping to coach the DE's.

 

Having Von and Bruce in your camp, you cant....I can't, imagine a better situation and I am 100% sure we'll see some huge results from this over time. Thank you Bruuuuuce!

Think Giants, AKA Buffalo South.

Giants already have 4-5 backs better than Blackshear or Johnson including 2 former Bills, a #2 overall pick, a draft pick from last year and they have 2 rookies/UDFAs from this year.  I am not sure that the Giants need 2 more former Bills - neither of which were in Buffalo with the current HC or GM.

 

I get the concern, but there are a butt ton of RBs around the league that are going to get cut that have as much or more overall “film” than Blackshear.

Saquon and Breida, sure.  The others?  Arguable at best.  And Breida was with Daboll last year and he barely used him.

Cook flashed. That outside run and the 6 yard pickup for the first were smooth. 

He was also so quick after his reception.

I also thought Allen’s TD pass was going to be intercepted. It looked like it took a “long” time to get there.

 

LOL the DB for sure had a good 'ol try but the best he managed was "get into the same zip code"

 

I watched Ravens vs. Cardinals last night and I found myself thinking that about almost every pass "wow, that's slow" "wow, he really had to put his whole body into that" etc

4 or 5 backs better than him?  Based on what?  
 

I count one that we can say is definitely better than Blackshear.  Barkley.

 

Breida might be sure.  But he was awful last season save for 2 plays and has a low football IQ.  
 

williams might be.  He also might not be.  
 

Maybe Sandro Platzgunmer is better? Maybe not.

 

maybe jasaun Corbin is better?  Maybe not 

 

Gary Brightwell?  
 

Not sure anyone can definitively say the Gmen have 4-5 better RBs.  I don’t know anything about 3 of their 6 RBs.

 

blackshears tape is solid and he has a nice skill set for a short passing game O, but I get why people don’t think he’ll be picked up.  There are a ton of RBs out there.  I understand your point.

To be fair... Daboll was never coach of either of these players with Buffalo.  The Giants also already have Breida and Antonio Williams.  So if they grab Johnson, or Blackshear - we can just grab Breida or Williams.

Breida and Williams have both done considerably more in the NFL and over years than Blackshear has done playing in two preseason games in the late third or 4th quarter.

 

They also have a 3 other guys - 2 guys that regime brought in - when they could easily have had Blackshear. 
 

Maybe they do sign him, but to be back number 4 and non-active.

 

I think it is a huge worry for a guy considered to be RB5 and was a late UDFA add. 
 

We heard the same think about Williams getting picked up in camp last year and Wade the year before with his 2 long runs.

 

Just watching across the league there are #4 and #5 RBs on a ton of teams that have shown out, but will get cut and next camp there will be 3 guys to replace Blackshear if he is picked up.

Williams and Breida have done considerably more than James Cook too.  Doesn’t mean they are better.  I get your point, but I’m sure you also get mine.  To say Williams and breida are better is one thing……but to say that one of those other 3 RBs is also better just isn’t a fair assessment imo.  
 

Blackshear made a good impression and gave himself a chance to make the roster of the best team In the nfl.  I don’t think those other RBs on the giants would still be on our team.  The 2nd and 3rd best RBs on that giants roster:  one had no chance of returning to Buffalo because he’s so bad.  The other was a PS guy that looks the equivalent of Blackshear (albeit a different type of back).  
 

I think there’s better chance of a Blackshear being the #2 or 3 Rb on the giants than there being 4-5 RB better than him.  
 

agree to disagree
