QB Brock Osweiler met w/Bills

Arizona State QB Brock Osweiler confirmed that he met with the Bills last night among other teams here in Indianapolis.

Osweiler has outstanding physical attributes and at 6’6″ and 240 pounds he has prototype size. The drawback is the Arizona State product is very much a work in progress. Osweiler made only 15 starts in his collegiate career. He did play in a spread offense at Arizona State, which would make the transition to an offense like Buffalo’s not all that big.

He won't be working out so this was what he was here for.

He's horrendous. Big arm talent, though.

Re: QB Brock Osweiler met w/Bills

Is this the guy that lit up Mizz this year? That was the only ASU game I caught and he looked decent.

Re: QB Brock Osweiler met w/Bills

I thought he was 6'8". Do we have an official height on him from the combine?

6'6 7/8"

So he lost an inch in change from media guide.

Re: QB Brock Osweiler met w/Bills

What I liked about him was that he actually moved through his reads and will step up within the pocket to avoid pressure. He also looks off safeties, unlike a lot of these shotgun/spread QBs that take the snap, stand still, and fire to their first read. He's got a cannon and if you're the type that likes to try to develop 2nd- to 4th-round QBs, he's a good choice. He was offered a basketball scholarship coming out of high school as well. He went to ASU because they let him play both, but he decided to focus on football.

Yeah, I saw him out at the clubs here by ASU 2 weekends ago. He's not as tall as he's listed but he's still way tall. He's not a very good player though and ASU's football program stinks.

Players Watched:
ARIZONA STATE
#17 QB Brock Osweiler
#7 LB Vontaze Burfict
#8 WR Gerell Robinson
#1 WR Mike Willie

OREGON
#80 WR Tuinei
#5 QB Darron Thomas injured during game
RB Lamichael James -- injured, not playing

1ST QUARTER
- #17 delivers two nice passes under pressure, both dropped
- #17 one more nice pass at a low arm angle on 3rd down, but was short of first
- #7 slow on coverage, can't run down receiver crossing
- #17 short on dump off / safety valve
- #17 hits hot receiver on rush
- #17 really nice 20-yd out to #8
- #7 is playing angry... stop at LOS
- #7 reads option wrong, rush for gain by #5
- #17 stares at receiver for flare pass on 3rd & 11, results in punt
- AZ St #9 S Clint Floyd fights off block, tackles WR for loss on screen
- #7 called for personal foul for late hit on TE. Kind of a cheap call. TE had stepped out, but kept running an no whistle until after Burfict was pulling him to ground.
- #17 nice slant to #1
- #17 nice slant to #8, catch in traffic for 1st down.
- #17 throws deeper slant either on 2nd read or after looking off safety at snap. He moves his eyes around quite a bit... doesn't stare down receiver like most 1 read / dump offenses out of the shotgun.
- #8 nice block on screen
- #17 perfect 9 route to #1 who pushed off DB for separation downfield
- #7 reads ball action well, but then is wiped out of play by pulling OG's cut block. #80 called for illegal crackback block
- #7 another good run read, gets to point of attack well on this play
- #5 skies pass over #80's head on 3rd down. Herbstreit says it's misocmmunication but it looked like just a really bad pass to me.
- #17 on this play tucked after first read was covered and lumbered back to LOS.
- #17 follows it up with good patience on the next play, checks down over the middle shallow cross for first down.

2ND QUARTER
- #17 tried to change play at the line. Didn't work out as he is sacked while RG is blocking air on blitz.
- #7 big hit on RB at LOS to take him out of the play on a pass
- #5 rolls right out of pressure, hurls ball downfield to open spot of end zone. #80 runs it down with nice catch for TD.
- #17 nice pass to #1 on 3rd down for 1st
- #17 hits #8 over the middle on 2nd read
- #17 doesn't see #8 running slant wide open over the middle and throws slant to covered wideout on same side of the field. This play was broadcast from the end zone on the defenders' side of the field, so you could see that #8 was eally wide open.
- #7 late hit out of bounds personal foul (2nd one), just kind of slammed into tackler/runner just outside of the line. He just seems very frustrated and unaware of his surroundings. Almost feel bad for him.
- #5 terrible pass sailed again, INT.
- #17 looks off safety, pass to #8, who does not do a good job of keeping his feet.
- #17 goes back to #8 who can't haul in the contested pass in the end zone.
- #7 out of position in run. Fom here on out, he really just seems dejected and out of the game.
- #17 fires nice pass on 3rd & 3
- #8 makes contested catch over the middle, then gets called for unsportsmanlike conduct
- #17 throws deep to #1 who falls down. Ball is picked by #13 Cliff Harris. #17 tackles #13, forcing fumble, but fumble oges out of bounds.
- AZ ST #1 out of position on pass, #7 chases down receiver

At halftime, they're interviewing Chip Kelly on the field. My wife says "he's like an alcoholic baby."

3RD QUARTER
- #5 nice pass over the middle
- #7 slow to read run, tackles 7 yd downfield
- #7 another bad read to give up big run
- TD run straight up the middle at #7. Head doesn't even seem in the game anymore.
- #17 contested throw with good accuracy on 12 yard out broken up by safety on 3rd down.
- #17 frustrated, throws into double coverage incomplete
- #17 throws nice post under pressure for 1st down, #8 gets a weak OPI call against him
- #7 makes 2 nice stops on D up the middle
- #17 panicked on 2nd down after #8's route runs him into the ref
- #17 runs into sack on 3rd down
- #7 seems emotionally checked out

4TH QUARTER
- #17 steps up ni the pocket well, then throws to a spot where two WRs converge. That's almost always an incompletion.
- #17 steps up again against rush, hits #8 who turns it into a big gain then runs out of bounds and levels Santa Claus.
- #17 fires pass into #8's gut, but it gets broken up by DB
- #17 looks off DB, then fires pass to #8 who drops it.
- #7 still not playing well
- #17 scrambles for 13 on 3rd and 15
- #7 has to lunge for tackle... no longer playing with intensity shown at beginning of game
- #17 steps up in pocket well and fires 1st down to #8
- #17 hits slot receiver for hot 1st down
- AZ St #6 RB has been running hard all night, but not good with blitz pickup
- #17 every snap has been from shotgun
- #17 throws TD on 2nd read to open man who bobbles the ball which is then picked. Game over.

Well were not going to do that, and i still believe Fitz can get the job done. If we resign Stevie and Chandler, and get that WR that Nix was talking about, then i believe he will do very well. Along with Jackson and Spiller, and a young talented line, we will have a good Offensive year. I believe Fitz will surpase 4000 yds, have near 30 TDs and just 19-20 INTs. I dont see how having 2 good WRs, a good TE, 2 great RBs, and a good OL, doesnt equal into a QB doing well.
