7. The reason the Bills kept Josh Reed as a fourth receiver over Drew Haddad is because they didn't want to gamble with inexperience during Roscoe Parrish's recovery from wrist surgery. Parrish is going to miss at least the first month of the season, but he has all the looks of being a great third receiver. The Eric Moulds-Lee Evans-Parrish trio was one of the scariest of the preseason. But Haddad lacks game experience. Reed has it. So Haddad had to go, and Reed was going to stay.

Re: Clayton's observations
Drew Haddad: Born: 08/15/1978
Josh Reed: Born: 05/01/1980
Young does not apply to this comparision.
Maybe Bills did a poll asking fans if Drew should make roster and most said "No" since many did not have a clue (same ones doing wave during opener when we were on offense) they were asking about Drew Bledsoe?Comment

Re: Clayton's observations
I don't think either guy's age had anything to do with it.
It was Reed's game-experience that gave him an edge.__________________

Re: Clayton's observations
I think it was Reed's ability to BLOCK - he has been labelled by some in organization as best blocking WR we have and Moulds is known as a good block WR. I am not sure what the deal with Haddad is or why they brought him into camp - he did as he said all that could be expected of him which is good and bad (bad being expections were not higher).Originally posted by Dicknoze69Comment

Re: Clayton's observations
IF they want to block bring in a tightend, a receiver should be able to catch if the ball hits him in the numbers.

Re: Clayton's observations
Yeah, does it really matter dozer? With Reed as are third receiver most Defences will know that Reed will only catch 5 out of 10 balls thrown to him. Besides its no secret wills is going to be the bread winner in this offense. 3.3 and a cloud of dust. As far as i am concerned Josh Reed is a glorified tightend.Originally posted by Dozerdog

Maybe we could use some LOS blocking, instead of willis getting hit three yards in the backfield.Originally posted by Typ0

Re: Clayton's observations
Let's see what this kid can do without Bledsoe.
Bledsoe was so slow in his progressions, he would rarely get to option 3 or 4 on his checkdown list before getting sacked, or just forcing a bad pass.Comment

Re: Clayton's observations
Well, im not calling the shots lol, he'll get his chance, but after i saw him drop one friday on the 2 minute drill, and saw him droped a touchdown pass, right in his hands off a flee flicker"indy i think". I don't think the qb change will do much.
