Definitely a Lockerroom “Cancer.”

If so, hope it spreads.

This makes a lot of sense. Get guys he trusts since OBJ isn't looking likely.

 

Plus he wants them to get rings too.

F OBJ. There, I said it. Pre-Madonna wants to play in the Playoffs without having broken a sweat to earn that right. 
Wouldn’t phase me at all if his recovery had a big set back.

Heh

You know what would be epic here? If someone could do some video editing magic and impose tables where Josh and Dawson land, and break them.

Or even more epic: on the Milano hit, replace Mike White with a vertical folding table.

Many Buffalo Bills fans who are in the Branch Covidian cult owe Cole a big fat apology and need some penance in their lives. I said it.

You'll be able to easily identify them ATOP. They'll be the ones explaining that Cole made the story up.

My favorite was "He has been working out but hasnt had any NFl QB's throwing to him. Meanwhile he did spend a bit of time on Tom Bradys practice squad.

What Cowboys, Bills are getting with T.Y. Hilton, Cole Beasley: Here's what the two 33-year-old WRs can add
 

</snip>
 

Cole Beasley, Bills 

The Bills re-signed Beasley for three reasons -- reliability, spatial awareness, and what his presence can do for the rest of Buffalo's receiver room beyond Stefon Diggs. 
 

Among quarterbacks who've thrown at least 200 passes this season to date, Josh Allen has endured the league's third-highest drop rate of 8.6%. A bad-weather game against the Jets in Week 14 marked the third-straight game Bills pass catchers dropped four passes. For context, four drops on Allen's 27 drop backs against Gang Green equates to a drop rate of 14.8%. Woof. 
 

From 2019 to 2021 in Buffalo, counting the playoffs, Beasley saw 339 targets. On those targets, he had only 13 drops, good for a 3.8% drop rate. 

 

Now, some of Beasley's patented quickness has probably diminished. Although, given that he's not returning from an injury and hasn't played since early October, meaning his legs should be fresh, I'd be surprised if opposing defensive coordinators will feel comfortable leaving their nickel corners, linebackers, or safeties on Beasley one-on-one in man. 

 

However, if they do, and Beasley's twitch isn't what it was even in 2021, he can still be a valuable asset against zone coverage. He's always had impeccable feel against zone. Beasley quickly diagnoses when to sit in a void or continue forward into open space --- whatever it takes to make himself available to his quarterback in real-time. That keen awareness doesn't rely upon athleticism or quickness.

 

Notice here, against the Jets in the 2021 regular-season finale, how Beasley didn't continue up the field, which would've closed the throwing window for Allen. Instead, Beasley sat down after getting off the line, caught the pass, and accelerated for the first down. 

 

{video}
 

In the 2021 regular season, Beasley caught 57 of 70 targets (81.4%) against zone coverage at 8.6 yards per grab. Only Stefon Diggs had more catches (58) on the Bills but did so on 13 more targets. Beasley made just over 3.5 receptions against zone each regular-season game and was very efficient turning targets to catches. 

 

Entering Week 15 this season, Isaiah McKenzie, who's primarily played in the Beasley underneath slot role, has 21 snags against zone coverage on 27 targets (77.7% catch rate). He's played in 12 games, meaning he's averaged 1.75 receptions against zone. That's almost exactly half the against-zone production Beasley provided Buffalo's offense in last year's regular season.

 

McKenzie's dropped three of those passes on 27 targets (11.1% drop rate). Beasley had three drops on 70 targets (4.2%) in the 2021 regular season.
