Camp competitions that might help the Bills

I am sure that there is more than these but these might be considered the big ones.

Personally I was most interested in the Jaguars one.

If Matt Jones was to lose and considering his previous falling out with Del Rio might he be an interesting pick up possibly at TE if he had reasonable blocking skills.

At 6ft6, 238lbs, and having run 4.37, he'd cause more match up problems and I rate him higher than Anderson and Teyo Johnson. Considering that many assessments say that blocking isn't a strength of Derek Fine, I wonder if he could be a guy who could come in. One of his strengths is that he finds it easy to adjust to badly thrown ball. Getting cut might create that sense of urgency that has been previously lacking.

The problem is that he's a WR, not a TE.

Jones' lack of success, given his speed, size and athleticism, is really hard to figure. If his problem is lack of motivation, it's probably terminal and I don't really want to see him in a Bills' uniform.

Give me a guy with a high motor who tries his heart out every time.

Well I guess he did convert from college QB - the transition might not have been too easy.

If he has good blocking skills would the transition to TE be that challenging?

Maybe that was his best position to begin with?

Everything I've read says he's a smart, high motor guy who has good hands and thrives catching the ball in short yardage situations. He is said to lack speed and athleticism, and is not much of a blocker.

Another WR ? After this draft, I can't see it.

I'm looking for a Center.

Re: Camp competitions that might help the Bills

Let me set the record straight on Mat Jones as I live here in Jaxcsonville.
NO, NO, NO, he is lazy and unmotivated. During one game when he was not dressed (emergency QB) he was throwing a ball bck and forth to a fan in the stands. When Garrad was hurt they (the coaching staff) had to find him and tell him to gat dressed. In regards to blocking never going to happen he does not have the desire so when he is officially cut and labled a "bust" please do not start a thread with the dreaded "I'd bring him in for a look" because you can look all day long and see the potentional, but do a chest X-ray and you will discover no heart!

Jim Leonard, Shaud Williams, Josh Reed, JP Losman, Coy Wire.

Jim Leonard, Shaud Williams, Josh Reed, JP Losman, Coy Wire.

Josh Reed is a capable slot receiver and Wire was a hell of a special teams guy.

Reed is a marginal slot receiver who is far from a lock to make the team this year. Although I still think he is still in, he better watch his back if Steve Johnson shows anything.
Remember Reed doesn't contribute anyting on special teams which is another strike against him.
Wire is nothing but a slightly above average special teamer. He won't even be missed.

No argument there.
