Low Positive Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 This doesn't mean that they will activate him. He just gets to practice for three weeks and then they can either activate him or shut him down for the year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I forgot he was on IR, even tho he was never inactive lol just forgot LFG, would like to see him get some burn. Dude is a physical specimen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, with Taiwan Jones gone, we've shifted from carrying an extra "RB" special teamer to carrying an extra "WR" special teamer. So I'm not sure either of them lose their spot to Shorter.

Buffalo03 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I'm curious to see if he runs SHORTER or longer routes. It will also be interesting to see how much SHORTER the other WRs are than him. He probably won't be playing this week but should be in a SHORTER amount of time than longer 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harty is averaging like 2 yards per punt return the past few games. I don't think we will miss much. He runs to the left then he runs the right then he gets tackled when he could have just run straight lol Edited December 13, 2023 by KDIGGZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Hucklebuck Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I honestly don’t care if it comes at the expense of Harty or Sherfield or Gabe’s snap counts. Sherfield has played 6 seasons including this one. 3 of them have been exactly what he’s done this year - nothing. Harty is playing 17% snap count right now. I advocated earlier in the year for him, but it’s obvious the rest of the coaches feel the same way about him pre and post Ken Dorsey, so try someone else.

ProcessTruster Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 pretty sure they are just trying to get him back in the building and work him out . any decision to actual putting him on the roster is another thing entirely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't even have to go full kamikaze either but even if he's only doing a st role in a real game that helps his conditioning in event we need him at wr due to injury. Seems Bills wrs get beat up somewhat and always good to have known replacements now that the Bills are basically in win or go home mode now. And with no game film on him they could design up a few set plays where he is the decoy or the beneficiary with Diggs and Davis being the coverage magnets.

Most likely yes, but then again thinking outside the box.... Does Shorter have any time playing db like in HS if he played both wr and db? Might be he can help if our dbs are getting banged up. He plays some ST role while being an emergency in game body at wr or db. Edited December 13, 2023 by AuntieEm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7975 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, Shaw66 said: I don't know. But about a year ago I decided that if I were the coach, what I want in a punt returner is a sure handed guy. I don't care if he never gains a yard. One muffed punt is one too many. Harty really impresses me in that regard. He's like Hyde back there. Plus, he actually is a good returner, which for me is purely a plus. At this point in the season, I'm not going to put someone else back there who hasn't already proven he can catch it like Hardy. And, by the way, Josh seems to find Hardy every game or two, and turning him loose in space is a good thing. I'm of the same opinion. Just catch the ball and don't turn it over. Know when to let the ball go. Thats it. Harty does that. Look at the Titans/Dolphins game. Although the Titans pulled off a miracle win, that misplayed punt usually costs the team big. People act like they don't care about this but then complain when McKenzie was back there and cringed on every punt. I honestly forgot Shorter was even on the team lol.

BringBackFergy Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 You guys remember Isaiah Hodgins? Tall, fast and productive WR for Giants last year and this year. Give him a chance. Or ship him to Giants. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnNord Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I wasn’t too impressed with Justin Shorter in preseason. He had one decent game if I can recall correctly but also was very inconsistent. As long as there are no serious injuries to the WR, I’d guess that the Bills will shut him down after the window expires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 4 hours ago, BullBuchanan said: This is a weird move. A rookie who hasn't played all year is suddenly going to be on the 53 for the final playoff push and playoffs? It’s kind of like when we added John Brown. Josh needs a home run threat, or someone catching ball deep upfield. Shorter might be able to provide that. Shorterwas a top recruit, he’s big, he has been stashed on IR . If Shorter had a couple good weeks practice- then that’s a great problem. We certainly need help at WR. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen2Moulds Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I agree with most about the Special teams stuff, but we don't know how he's looked in practice, or how far he's progressed. Them opening up his window is definitely for a reason. None of us expected Ty Johnson to be getting the kind of work he's getting, but he's earned Brady's trust. Maybe it's similar with shorter. We know he's big, and a long strider, and the book on him at FLorida, is that he was very good at contested catches, so we'll see. Maybe not this week, but if we find ourselves blowing out the Pats or Chargers, he may get an inseason tryout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
