Don Otreply Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 40 minutes ago, Bangarang said: Milano plays over 90% of the snaps on defense so unless he has to miss time due to injury then Williams might not get his number called much. Secondly, didn’t they draft Bernard last year to be depth behind Milano? Seems like drafting Bernard and Williams in the 3rd round and consecutive years is redundant. Sigh, every draft / season changes the team dynamics…, constant tweaking of positions is a constant, it is a thing that happens league wide, not every position has a Josh Allen level player doing the job, Sure it can be frustrating when we aren’t in the conversation as to why things happen, but that’s the life of a fan, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His path is simply unprecedented. If it happens, I’ll gladly enjoy the rewards…but right now I’m a “I’ll believe it when I see it” guy in this respect. He's perfect for the practice squad though. He can have a shot that way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not a bad player, but depending upon him as our #3 (just like depending upon Davis as our #2) puts the Bills at a stark disadvantage at WR vs a handful of teams with 2 or even 3 top WR. The only guy on the team last season who could consistently make that "ooohs" and "aaaahs" catch was Diggs. Hopefully Kincaid joins him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milano has missed time with injuries, and no they drafted Bernard to play potentially at MLB as well. Again, I think you missed the point of the rest of my previous response where the focal point is that it’s way too early right now to conclude any long term plans for him. They are looking at guys who have some experience first and trying not force the rookie to learn 2 positions right now. He very much was drafted as a potential MLB as well. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh was forcing in those throws to Davis last season, resulting in Davis leading the league in INT per target on throws to him He had 6, and he's the only WR with less than 100 targets and that many INT on throws to him. There might be one or two of those Davis should have come back for or contested more aggressively, but mostly they're Josh's fault, and he needs to change what he's seeing/doing a bit. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 1 hour ago, 34-78-83 said: Ah, the gripes that have already been addressed resurface each and every practice day here at TBD as if they are brand new! - Elam is very skilled at sticky man coverage and is still picking up his technique playing in zone scheme. No, he is not better than Tre, that was last year while Tre was still working back to 100%. Yes he is more talented than Dane of course, but RIGHT NOW Dane can play the full scheme steadily. Elam will still get plenty of time on the field and hopefully put it all together this season and take the 2 spot. - Williams is a talented player, but probably overwhelmed on having to make all the D calls right now. That's why he is growing behind Milano for the time being. Not a wasted pick... What's wrong is to count on a 3rd rd draft pick to come right in and do all that. Does it happen? Yes. Not with any certainty though. All NFL teams have areas they aren't elite in. There's a salary cap. The last closest thing to a team without flaws was the 2011 Pats, 2007 Pats and 1991 Redskins. They are extreme outliers. The 2023 Bills have an elite roster as compared to their peers. Our and my point is we are not elite at OT, DT, and DE. With limited resources as you said you can't waste 3rd round picks on project players at positions that are not of need. They play 2 LBs the vast majority of the time. Whoever is not the starting MLB has traditionally been the backup for both LB spots. Best case scenario, Milano stays healthy all year and the kid sits all year.

SCBills Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 18 minutes ago, HappyDays said: Not the worst thing for a WR5 - 2nd year RD5 pick, but he's starting to come across as an ok depth WR. Can get open at a decent clip, but just doesn't make the big play. Had a chance to make a huge play in the playoffs... dropped it. Similar themes recurring in camp. Hope he can get over the hump, but the reports I'm reading, don't give me a ton of confidence in Shakir as starting slot. Harty has elite speed. Sherfield is an elite blocker. Shakir comes across as the Devin Singletary of WR's so far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what Knox and Gilliam/Morris/Sternberger are for He has to be able to block, somewhat, otherwise he's just a really big, slow slot WR. Now maybe he's so good that he's Travis Kelce-esque in the slot and it doesn't matter if teams treat him as such... but I think the conversation Jeremy White had yesterday about the failure of Ertz/Goedert in Philly is at least a worthwhile discussion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what Knox and Gilliam/Morris/Sternberger are for The Bills expect all their WR and TE to block, if nothing else downfield or on bubble screens. One reason we struggled with those is that Beasley didn't (well), and his first couple years Knox wasn't so good at them either. Kincaid needs to learn to block. Doesn't mean the Bills will be using him in-line as a 6th OLman, but he needs to be able to block, it's part of the job. 5 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabe is just a JAG with no real redeeming qualities That's a shallow take. JAG with no redeeming qualities don't collect 200 yds on 8 receptions in a playoff game vs KC or even 85 on 4 (but all critical, high DOD shoestrings) The issue with Gabe is that his play shows a very high ceiling, but it's inconsistent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Process Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Even if Beane wanted to give Spencer another shot, when you have a guy who both 1- has been absolutely terrible for two years and 2- has a history with back issues, you should probably at least have a good back up plan in place. Don't love the idea of Q starting. Wish they added somebody, even if planned on having Spencer start the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 14 minutes ago, HappyDays said: Sounds like Elam and Jackson are both having excellent days today. Good problem to have. Elam plays physical, he was always going to begin to shine more once pads went on, which is why some of the concern and panic people had that he wasn't the official CB2 yet didn't really make a lot of sense to me. If I had to guess, I would think Elam wins the job just because I think he has the most overall talent. That being said, Dane and Benford can play too, so it won't just be given to Elam either and both those guys could win the job themselves too. But I do think now that pads are on, Elam is going to start to stand out more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
