Quick thoughts on Bills Preseason game

[CletusPyle]

Was out of town and had to record it and watched today. I don't feel like a learned anything about this team from that game. Next week number ones aren't playing from what I heard, so I guess it will be week 3 before I get any idea about this team and if we have improved as much as I had hoped.

To be perfectly honest, I thought Ryan's arm looked pretty weak, but I am not panicking yet! Still won't be surprised if we see Wentz have a great season in Washington!

I wasn’t impressed with Ryan either but they were running the most vanilla stuff imaginable and it was literally his first game with all his receivers.

Im gonna hold off on judgement.

Wentz will never win anything. I think last year was as good as he can be.

No, I just think he is better than he showed us, especially down the stretch. Maybe the Washington coaching staff will do a better job getting the most out of him? In case anyone is interested, here's a look at his first TD drive....

He looked good there. See where he is mid season, his mechanics erode and decision making goes down the tubes. I’ll remember him for the pats game. Rattled and a bad decision waiting to happen. So much so, they would even trust him to throw.

That was uninspiring for them.

I am waiting to judge Ryan and the first team offense until JT is lined up behind him.

I have always hated Hines lined up single back behind QB and running between the tackles. That is NOT who he is. We wasted at least one down per set of downs early running him like he is JT instead of NH. The draw for 14 yards was the only NH play they called for him. Get him out in space; run wheel routes and shallow outs. NH behind QB between the tackles is a wasted down.

This offense will run as JT (and to a lesser extent Lindsey Phillips) runs it. Play action and our passing game will come from an effective run game.

Reverse that.

But yeah, things will look different in a real game because everything is so basic in preseason. Not much scheme help. But you can still see if an OL misses a block, if a DE gets stood up, if a WR doesn't get separation.

WR for instance, these guys didn't look too great the other day, but it wouldn't surprise me if a more creative scheme helps them out a ton. They still need work, of course.

That is my thought. They have plays designed for JT, but Hines is in. It is not to see how Hines does, but to see if the line can do their job on those plays.

They may be playing Hines more with Taylor if they cant find better option at the WR spot.
