Italian Bills Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 What do you think about the Cole situation at the moment ? He’s got very few snaps till now, why ? Maybe he’s not ready enough ? Maybe they don’t see it good anymore ? It could be that he lost his speed ? Honestly i would love to see him more involved, because i still think that he’s one of the most talented slot player in the game. We need more slants and jet sweeps or short curls in our passing game, do you agree ? And i still think Cole could be our best weapon. 1 2 7 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOUSE Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 (edited) Think about it, Beasley is always banged up come playoff time, separated shoulder, broken leg, ankle sprain etc. It's a high injury position. Cole has nothing to prove in Buffalo. I expect more receptions this week but nothing crazy. He can now enter the playoffs healthy...it's a BIG PLUS.

JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Cole and Smoke each have one more call up before having to be signed to the 53. So I bet each one plays one of our remaining 2 games. Call ups are unlimited in playoffs so should be all set after the season. Personally, I think we're giving teams more run to look at right now but we'll switch it up for the playoffs. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RochesterLifer Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 There is no “Cole situation”. He is a receiver on this team and will be used in a way the coaching staff believes brings the best value.

wppete Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Im good with Cole so far. Work him in slowly. Get him back to playing shape and learning Dorsey’s offensive terminology. Also help to keep him off any game tape for opponents in the playoffs. He could be a lethal weapon for Josh come the playoffs. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do teams get a new set of call-ups? Callups in the playoffs are unlimited. I wouldnt expect all that much from Beasley. He lost a step last year and spent most of this year playing basketball. As far as ramping him up... he had 11 snaps against Miami and only 6 against Chicago. Thats not ramping up. Im sure thats probably in part due to us running the football more last week. People expecting Beasley to come in here playing like his 2020 self arent being realistic. Its more likely to be his last year self at best where he caught the ball and fell down 2 yards short of the first down marker. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart move This is true and why I was against them keeping hom this year. He was always hurt at the end of the year. In say that I thought it was a brilliant move to bring him back for the last 7-8 games(Playoffs included). 1 hour ago, MPL said: Aside from his two-week stint with the Bucs, dude has spent the last 10 months only playing pickup basketball.

StHustle Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I was disappointed he didn’t sit out the Bears game. I would have much rather that than sitting out the Pats game. Doesn’t seem worth it signing him to the 53 cause of a 1 game conflict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Both Cole and Smoke were desperation moves (smart desperation moves but moves made out of desperation) and given that both guys were off the scrap head I think they are just working both of them in slowly for a playoff run esp Cole who has more of a niche in the offense as there really is no true slot WR on the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is on the practice squad because we only have 4 WR on the active roster, and we think he can help the team more than other practice squad WR like Tanner Gentry or KeSean Johnson or even, for the last couple games, John Brown. He's been called upon for 2 regular season games and has one more "free call up" left. He got a few less snaps last week against the Bears than the previous week against the Dolphins, likely because we were running a lot against the Bears and he's not a good blocking WR. (Isaiah McKenzie got fewer snaps than normal as well, likely for the same reason). In the playoffs, there are unlimited practice squad call ups, so the team will be able to call him up for every game where they think he might help Where we've had problems with jet sweeps, the problems have typically been with blocking at the line and downfield, causing the sweep to be stuffed in the backfield -not with the player running the sweep be it McKenzie, Hines, or Diggs. Beasley doesn't help that. Edited December 30, 2022 by Beck Water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need more slants and jet sweeps or short curls in our passing game, do you agree ? And i still think Cole could be our best weapon. The offense has changed from last year, so he needs to get up to speed, all while the team is focused on each next game, even though he used to be in the team it was under Daboll. Considering you are an Italian Bills fan, think of getting a new guy up to speed like this... It's like cooking risotto, you can't rush it or it doesn't come out right, and no matter how quick you want to cook it you need to take your time. You got your broth simmering, which is our playbook, then you got the risotto which is Beasley. First we need to put some oil in the pan and cook some shallots or whatever else you want to go in. You get that going in the pan first -- that's calling his agent for a deal. Next, we add the aborio rice and toast it, this is getting Beasley acclimated to the staff and his new team mates. Now we got the broth simmering, the playbook. We can't add it all at once, we need to scoop it in ladel by ladel, and we need to keep mixing the rice (which is the equivalent of practice). After about 40+ minutes of ladeling in broth (playbook) a cup at a time while mixing (practice), we are looking good. Now we add in some fresh chopped parsley and some parmagiano-reggiano or whatever else, which will be the new game plan installs of his role, and boom we are ready. At this point in time I suspect we are still adding broth and mixing. I think the staff will have him ready to go as a matchup dependent role player for playoffs. Buon appetito!
