    Mayle is coming off an injury. It's early but I think we keep him over Pryor for sure.

    Mayle has been coming on strong while Pryor was the early pleasant surprise of camp. This seems like an opportune time to take a look at some ages in here when we weigh best football ahead vrs best football behind:

    Bowe 30

    Hawkins 29

    Hartline 28

    Moore 27

    Pryor 25

    Benjamin 25

    Gabriel 24

    Lenz 24

    Mayle 23

    Jennings ? (undrafted rookie)

    Bowe, Hawk, Hartline, Gabriel, Pryor, Benjamin.

    Mayle to IR.

    Lenz to PS?

    Moore and Jennings to the street.

    I see Pryor as the third TE to save a roster spot at WR

    The odd man out to me is the TE Housler...or

    We keep an extra WR (Pryor) and only two TE

    Same theory different setup either way Housler

    Ain't done shit and is the less paid FA...JMO

    Its not looking good for Housler right now.....I agree....

    He's listed third and Bibbs(who is 4th) is clearly outperforming him at camp....the scrimmage.....and game 1......

    And now I see that the Redskins just lost their 2nd TE this week(both are out for the season)......I say the farmer should get on the phone with them tomorrow and get us a late draft pick and some extra cap room.....

    LOL... and we're collectively back up to about 14 WRs...

    @wargograw said:

    Tour, they do have to deal with their own fans.

    Fair enough... but is there that big of a following for Hawk?

    Judging by Zombo, myself, and others' reactions I would say yes. But what I was referring to was actually fans of others teams that would feel they got fleeced because they underestimate Hawkins, even if that coach and GM are aware of how good he is.

  • Bibbs working with the 1's today.......plus Lenz, Benji and Mayle all having a good day against Bills.....

  • Good on Pettine. "When you practice well you will get your opportunities." Bibbs with 1's thanks Mud.

  • To me its starting to look like a shame Bowe has so much guarantee in his salary

  • I think we may be looking at 7 WRs making this roster. If we're keeping the 53 best players, then it seems this group will provide quite a few of those...

    Shaw getting hurt helps Pryors shot of making the roster IMHO

  • Well, one of these little wr's in camp would look good on the practice squad.

    I want to see Wynn return a couple punts this pre-season. There's one in the video at the 2:00 mark. Needless to say "he could go all the way"... Looks to have the quicks and mentality to thrive in that role. Surprisingly he had only 20 returns spread over his last two years at Indiana.

    Hard to say about his WR prospects. Whole lotta uncovered post routes in that video generated by speed alone... mostly against lesser opponents, e.g., not many highlights vs. the Buckeyes.

  • The way this is going we may have a heck of a return team. Benji, M. Moore, Gilbert, Duke and Wynn all play other positions and will get interesting to 53 man roster but 3 WR's will be tough to keep unless your making plays on Special Teams like M. Moore. Benji's not giving anybody anything and if Pryor is in the mix we may see him as a 3rd QB on the roster.

  • What is Bowe's status? He sure is missing a lot of practice time, and there are quite a few promising young WRs on this team...

    Bowe....or Bowie?

  • Whichever ones learn how to come back to the ball on a QB scramble. None out there on the last drive had a clue how to do that.

    OK, Chuckie Jr. 😉

    Well... I saw one tonite. Beautiful job of setting up blocks. A repeat or two and the littlest Wynn is going to make cutting him a very hard thing to do.

    I thought Jennings had another solid receiving game. Just did not add a quality return to the mix tonite.

    Mayle? Eh... seemed OK, but it almost looked as if he was batting down that last, 4th-and-the-game pass.

    Hawk seems frustrated.

    Hartline looks like McCown's security blanket.

  • Mc Cown Mentor. Chuckie supervisor of others doing their jobs all nite. good stuff with Manziel's visit and seeing it we hope.

  • At this point we're pinning our hopes on Bowe becoming something resembling a #1 when returning from injury and missing weeks of practise, or the longest shot of all, TP becoming a true WR.

    Our offence looked pretty impotent last night, including our OL - against what we must acknowledge is one of the top DLs in the league, to be fair.

  • The offense had a tough night, but it's an exhibtion game, the bills defense seemed

    to think they were playing in the superbowl.

    doesn't count.

    Absolutely right. JFF could have used help like that there on some of his scrambles, these WRs gave him none.

    The best thing I can say is that these were the training camp fodder.....like Lenz etc. And the only guy that did it some was Mayle.....but then he dropped a pass right in his hands.
