All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

Felser says Euhus only tight end with "downfield speed"
Felser says Euhus only tight end with "downfield speed"
The Bills have a number of varieties of tight ends on their roster, but the only one with downfield speed is rookie Tim Euhus of Oregon State. He bears watching at St. John Fisher.
Peters is "fast" only for a 300 pounder. I think Euhus runs a much quicker 40.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
I'd rather have a TE who can make the 5 yd reception and carry momentum foward for another 3 or 4 yds to set up 3rd and short situations.. We can leave the deep downfield routes to Moulds and Evans.
In the ball control offense TE can be used as an outlet reciever.. Reed will also play into the mix as a posession reciever.

Making mistakes is a part of learning. If he's not looking bad, maybe he's not pushing himself? You can go back and forth on it.
For example, our DTs could look great if they went against Pucillo all day long, but it doesn't mean they're improving.
Was that the situation with Peters ... probably not. But either way, let something real happen before getting excited.
All we have so far is mini-camp, though...that's the point. Peters looked good in mini-camp so that's what we get hyped up about...it's the offseason..we don't have anything else to go off of.
I just like hearing that Euhus has shown some ability to go deep. I thought the Evans comment was interesting as well - thinking that he will win the job outright before the first preseason game. I am hard pressed to remember an offseason where the Bills picked up so much quality speed with those 2 plus (effectively) McGahee.
Peters opens different avenues with his size and gives you lineman size at TE for goalline formations and a quick dupp passes.. that will give you a 7-10 yard gain any time it is completed.. all he has to do is fall foward and little Zack Thomas is goin for a ride.

Peters should make an impact if only for his blocking. At his size and speed, he should prove to be a tremendous blocker. However he's also shown soft hands. Whether he can learn to run good routes is another matter, but some people have made their living as just a blocking TE, and at worst you make him into an OL.
