Re: Piece on the Bills wrs
I consider Nelson the number two regardless of who lines up opposite Stevie. Nelson or Chandler will get the second look in most cases. And both guys have been more sure handed than Stevie.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Did you intentionally leave Hagan off your depth chart? Most reports seem to indicate that he's had a very good camp. He seems to be ahead of Martin and Easley.Originally posted by Joebuffalowins View PostComment

Yeah, I've been reading that. I think Martin gets on because he's suppose to be good at special teams.Originally posted by mayotm View PostComment

Are you saying you think they'll keep seven not counting Brad Smith?

Crazy as it sounds, I would like Plaxico Burress in the Red Zone. I think Chan can handle him.Comment

Re: Piece on the Bills wrs
That worries me a little. Neither guy is a big play threat, or great in yards-after-catch. Chandler with his 10.2 YPR and Nelson with his 11 YPR are both guys who are steady but not threats to make big plays.Originally posted by The King View Post
SJ is the main gun in the passing game, but they need a 2nd option to get some explosive plays and easy scores. Donald Jones is supposed to be that guy, but he hasn't proven it yet. You can move the ball down the field, but good offenses get explosive plays that lead to easy scores and points. Those kinds of plays scare defenses, otherwise they are going to sit on the short stuff and force the Bills to execute really efficiently. You can run and move the chains with the short stuff, but the explosive plays are what make teams like Green Bay and New Orleans scary on offense.
Really, Spiller is the only explosive guy on offense, and he hasn't been in the field enough to do it often. Graham is supposed to add some of that, but he is an unknown right now.Last edited by GingerP; 08-14-2012, 07:41 PM.Comment

Re: Piece on the Bills wrs
To say Spiller is the only explosive guy is ludacris. Jackson is a threat to score whenever he touches the ball.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"

Re: Piece on the Bills wrs
Fred is a great player, I am not taking away from his ability. He is an all-round threat in the mold of Matt Forte or Ray Rice.Originally posted by The King View Post
The passing game lacks big play threats, though. That is a concern. You can spread the field and throw it around, but you need great yards-after-catch guys. I worry that the top receivers outside SJ are catch-and-fall-down guys like Nelson and Chandler. You can move the ball, but if you have to string together lots of plays all the time it is hard to score big. They need more explosive plays. They need a guy like Jones, Graham or Spiller to give them those chunk passing plays that scare a defense.Last edited by GingerP; 08-14-2012, 08:03 PM.Comment

Re: Piece on the Bills wrs
I agree with that. But I think Chandler is going to be a better player this year. I don't know if the player your talking about is on the roster though. I think Jones is limited to his speed I don't think he's a good enough athlete to be a lock at 2.
Maybe it's Graham? The Qbs seem to like him.Last edited by The King; 08-14-2012, 08:14 PM.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"

Re: Piece on the Bills wrs
Johnson
Nelson
Jones
Graham
Hagan
The final battle Roosevelt Martin Easley
I think Roosevelt might get the nod. More upside, runs good crisp routes, return man, and catches most everything thrown to him
Easley is as good as gone IMO.. just way to inconsistent, I would say practice squad but I don't think he is eligible anymore
