I know you are just kidding, but it would be really funny to see Brady standing on the sidelines with a clipboard in hand....no way his over-inflated ego would ever let him be a backup anywhere.

We'd still throw implements at him.

Quote

The Bills have been working A LOT on the run game over the past three padded practices. We've seen all three backs worked into the mix at different times. I think there's an emphasis being put on getting that part of the game right going into the season. Whether it's getting Kincaid to a spot where he feels comfortable in blocking assignments or running through things for the o-line. Spencer Brown looked like a mauler today. Think he got under some defenders' skin.

Heard a lot last season that Spencer has a pretty good run blocking game.  A good threat of the running game will help the passing game too.

He’s decent in that aspect.  Pretty good out in space when Josh is rolling right too.

All of those players are likely upgrades from the current backups.  I'd take Matt Ryan or Bridgewater 

Wow weird, doesn't feel that way. Thanks for the info 

Give me Bridgewater anyday over Kyle or Barkley.

Too bad he has anvils for feet when he drops back.

At 6-8 it's probably unlikely.  He's an amazing run blocker but ask him to stay with a quick DE....forget it.  He can hit the fastball but not the curve.

Which is crazy considering he's the most physically gifted prospect at his position ever measured according to RAS

What about Tyrell Shavers? He is the UDFA that we signed to a 3 year deal. I haven't heard his name much, but supposedly he is an elite gunner, and many felt when we signed him, that he was a lock for the 53.

I think they should call Fitz anyway.  Allen and Barkley look rough

Carson Wentz is out there... He would be good for a few wins in season in needed.

I think there is only one big cut this year?  So they have camp bodies to play the third preseason game.  Is that true?

Hard to keep more than 6 WR’s when we have to roster a LB that can’t play LB and a slot corner that can’t play slot corner.

All UDFA get a 3 year deal... It wasn't anything special for shavers 

 

And yes I think he can win a gunner job

I posted an update of him as well. It says he's been quietly building on a nice TC so far

I think 2023 is Year 1 for a "single preseason roster cutdown date".

They were allowed 80 through 3 preseason games last season 

 

Still a lot more than past seasons iirc

I would guess that among Buffalo's DEs, Groot, Basham and Lawson ar the ones that can best move to defensive tackle on passing downs.  I doubt that Ray or Kingsley can do that.  Otherwise. there's not a lot separating them.

This does matter for McD defense.
Hoping we can keep Ray and Kingsley on PS.

 Basham might be lowest on the list before those two when keeping DEs
and i would like an upgrade there. Thank goodness for getting Floyd ! Thats a play maker !

He was the WR3 (at least looking at yardage) in MIA last year and felt like I heard his name called a lot when I watched MIA games. Guy was just always open if a team had planned well for Waddle and Tyreek.

and thats why he was open.

Bills need to use that same mindset.

Force defenses to cover two each down. Then let Allen find the open guy. Cuz there will be an open guy.

Be it a half back or or a late release of the chip block. or Quinton Morris who no one thinks is running a pass pattern for real LOL

They get open.

He even gave up meat, went on darkness retreats.

But now he’s given up the gold and green, oh

When Brown has been out we absolutely stunk running the ball.  He’s absolutely a beast in the ground game.  
 

He has that moxie to that you love.  
 

If he gets his friggin pass pro to just average he’d be a top 15 RT.

Maybe we should’ve taken TE Darnell Washington (6’7 264)  in the 3rd, bulked him up, and put him out at tackle. Reports out of Steelers camp is that he was winning 1 on 1s vs TJ Watt. His old teammate George Pickens said “you have to understand, Darnell was going up against the entire Philadelphia Eagles DL practice after practice” 😂
