From a Weakness to a Strength?

I don't have the concern I had at the beginning of camp.  Granted they haven't faced real bullets but my feeling is they are performing against one of the best defenses in the league EVERY day.  I think they shake the butterflies early and should perform against the Bills as they have in training camp.

 

1.  KB is going to be the real deal.  Cam is going to force success on KB, Only possible weakness getting off the line. Ricky will fix that.

2. Avant and Cotchery will be as good as advertised.  I see two very good sure handed WRs being perfect compliments to KB.

3. Bersin at 6'3" and sure hands is another big target for Cam

4. King and Lucas (another big target) showing they can play.  No way either of these two survive waivers to the Practice Squad

5. Philly Brown making a case to be the PR and be a future WR.  Could Brown be the next Ginn?  Brown was only .02 slower than Ginn. (I posted that once before after we signed him)

6. Pilares who is having a good preseason could be odd man out just because of the depth.

7. Underwood is finally waking up but Maybe too late.

Of the WR that are fighting for this team only McNutt seems to be playing his way off this team.

 

Take away Benji, Avant and Cotchery we have six quality receivers fighting for two or three spots.

 

What I love the most.  Out of our top 4 or 5 receivers the word DROP is not mentioned too often.  That translates to Cam  having a higher completion rating and a higher QB rating.

 

I am very excited to see all of these guys perform.

 

My dream squad

Benjiman  6'5'

Avant        6'

Cotchery  6" 1"

Bersin      6' 3"

Lucas      6" 4"

KIng        6" 1"

 

 I know the odds are low that we keep 6 unless one of these guys are a PR/KR but it is my list. :money:

We do have decent depth. The past 15 seasons it's been Steve Smith, Moose and nobody else worth a damn. Lucas and King probably battle each other for a spot. Also, now that preseason is here I wouldn't be surprised to see Underwood start to make big plays.

I also do not think what you saw in training camp will be anything close to real game time.  When Cam was practicing he had much more time to make his throws than he will in a game.  I think our wr corps will me mediocre at best and we had best have a good run game this year.

These guys are catching ball with DBs all over them.  I don't see how you can say Mediocre at best.  That is a quite pessimistic outlook. While the pressure on the QB might make it more difficult for Cam to pass.  These receivers should be able to get open and when the ball is throw there way..  We won't be sitting on the edge of our couch praying they don't drop it.

 

I am not calling this group elite YET but I clearly see a better WR corps than last season.

These guys are also aware they wont be taking any big hits.  And how do we know our db s are really any damn good?  2 months ago on here everyone was pissing and moaning about how poo ty our secondary was.  Not trying to be pessimist here just keeping expectations closer to reality than some of you guys want to admit.

When you say Mediocre "AT BEST" that is pretty much pure pessimism.   Mediocre is a possibility and so is good and reliable.

 

Reality?  How many big hits to you see on WRs coming across the middle in one game.  1 maybe 2.  When you are 6 foot or taller.  You have the physical advantage over most DBs.

 

The reality is closer to what you see in practice than the possibility of these guys just disappearing off the face of the earth when the game is real.

That really is a nice list Dave. I just cant see Underwood not making the team, just by the fact he has real production/experience in real games. Now with us he will be playing for a two time Pro Bowl QB. I think he could show out. But letting go of Lucas or King really is sickening.

With Barner/Cason/Bene returning punts, Philly isnt a necessity. Unless Philly, King, or Lucas shows out, two will be walking. Thats not even including Pilares who has shown return ability and J has said he has had a pretty good camp.

WR is def the best competition to focus on.

      PFF names Panthers QB Bryce Young the best deep passer

      By trucpfan · Posted

      Arm is weak? Another useless complaint who gives a flying f… if he makes all the throws accurately idgaf about arm strength. Let’s dive deeper into your complaint no zip on the ball show me a play where his lack of zip cost us anything. Show me a play where his weak arm cost us a completion or because he doesn’t have a Josh Allen cannon he didn’t make the play he needed to make. His 40 yarder down the field to XL two weeks ago was a got d…. dime his throw to AT in the end zone was a dime, his throw to XL 3 weeks ago that the man pulled out his hand was a dime about 30+ yards. What about the one handed grab to AT was a rocket arm needed? You’re logic is so self absorbed your judging the man off what you want him to have and that’s just outright goofy, not judging him off performance not off the talent he’s going against not even the situation he’s facing ex..(4th quarter down by 4 needed a TD) in which he’s outperformed all expectations vs KC vs Giants vs Tampa nobody Gives a f…. about him not having a rocket he’s noodle arm in the last 4-5 weeks has him rated as top 3 QB I think that’s way more Important then satisfying fans need for our QB to possess a cannon these complaints are getting too notch outlandish and quite embarrassing go be a dam Bills fan so your QB can have the strongest arm in the league yet he’s won nothing significant since he’s been in the dam league besides your heart he’s won your heart by having a rocket arm we gotta see what’s his consolation prize for winning arm of the year award. This is just dumb they benched him to help him because he has all the tools but wasn’t playing up to par benched him he  focused on his technique and came back and started doing what was expected what crow would they even be eating this is ignorant.

      Cleaning up Fitterer's Mess

      By Seltzer · Posted

      https://x.com/avl_mike/status/1863950938467189041 Incredible job by Brandt Tilis. Maybe Tepper has finally hired the right group and will stay out of the way. For reference, Dead Money for the past few seasons: 2021: $53.9M 2022: $52.4M 2023: $62.1M 2024: $69.3M 2025: $1.9M All that waste and ineptitude for 17 wins over the past 63 games... Fitterer deserves to be extradited back to CLT to stand trial for war crimes against this franchise. The one caveat is we'll never know how much meddling Tepper actually did, but the results speak for themselves... one of the worst GM tenures in NFL history. Look at this nonsense from this season alone in dead money: Von Bell: $9.9M Hayden Hurst: $9.8M Donte Jackson: $9.7M Diontae Johnson: $9.4M Bradley Bozeman: $7.2M Justin Houston: $3.8M DJ Chark: $3.1M Just such organizational dysfunction, from top to bottom. These weren't even good players. That 2025 dead money number will go up some with the probable release of Miles Sanders, Ian Thomas, etc., but nothing even remotely close to the sheer recklessness and stupidity of the Fitterer Era. Hopefully, we will look back in a few years and see this as the moment where we started to reemerge from the abyss... One can hope... Keep Pounding!!
