947 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I remember really wanting him in the draft, but he's been a complete turd in 4 NFL seasons since. He did have 102 catches for 1698yd & 15 TDs in his senior year at UMASS. His final college game vs Georgia: 15 catches, 219yd, 2 TDs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 It's just due diligence. Beane and his staff continue to scout players by bringing them in for tryouts. The more Beane does that now, the more he knows who to sign when we have injuries later in the season. Particularly, in this case, if Harty gets hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBonhamRocks Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Worth it on his speed and athleticism alone. From his draft profile: Competitive, well-rounded receiver possessing both elite quickness and long speed to go with solid play strength. Isabella has the feet and fakes to uncover in a hallway closet, and the former high school sprint champion proved to Georgia that his ability to win deep should not be underestimated. Isabella could become a menace on option routes with the ability to add vertical routes from the slot, but he must improve his pass-catching consistency and smoothness into his breaks in order to transition all that speed to the NFL. Ceiling is a Beasley/Welker/Edelman type slot guy. Could be the slot yin to Kincaid’s yang, so to speak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsNutHawaii Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) A few thoughts about Andy Isabella: - That was quite a jump to go from UMass to the NFL, let alone to be drafted in the 2nd round, and then needing to meet the expectations of a 2nd round draft choice, (Producing sooner rather than later). I'm willing to bet he's learned a lot about an NFL offense (Which he likely saw nothing of at UMass) in the last few years and he's much more ready to contribute. - The Cardinals organization isn't exactly a place where players become the "best version of themselves" as is often something our Bills often pride themselves on and which our team has the "system" in place to allow this to happen. - I'm not so sure the types offense employed in Arizona and Baltimore were a best fit for Andy. I think the Bills offense, quarterback, and the role they have in mind for Andy will be a much better fit than at his previous stops. Conclusion: Getting Andy in for a mere try-out at this point is an excellent investment by the Bills. Hopefully it leads to something productive for him and our team.

Rc2catch Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I have wanted this guy for like 3 years. Just go deep kid, one route. His speed paired with a big armed quarterback has to be good for at least 3 or 4 30+ yard touchdowns a year. The offense has lacked speed for years. McKenzie imo never figured out how to use his speed against decent defenses, and seemed to trip on his own feet a ton. I’d be happy to sign Isabella and let him battle it out for a spot or small role of the offense. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Difference makers aren’t getting cut from their team on July 25th. This guy probably will get signed just to kick the tires for the pre-season.
