RB Zack Moss

A lot of notes this week from various outlets just had nothing but positive things to say about rookie running back Zack Moss. This doesn’t mean we won’t see Devin Singletary this season because we certainly will, but Moss showed he isn’t just a guy that’s going to be used in between the tackles like Frank Gore was last year. One thing in particular that stood out was a video of Moss making an over-the-shoulder grab on a wheel route. He’s a well-rounded back.

Losers

OL Brian Winters

Newly-signed offensive lineman Brian Winters had many thinking from his years with the Jets that he would walk right into Jon Feliciano’s starting spot. Instead, as mentioned, we’ve seen plenty of  Ford in there instead. It appears Winters has some ground to make up. And while it was only one rep and he might’ve been tripped a little, Epenesa blowing him up wasn’t the best look, either. Quinton Spain also lost big in the same manner per The Athletic this week, but Spain’s job is much more locked in.

DT Ed Oliver

A simple one: Health reasons. Ed Oliver might finally be turning a corner in terms of being healthy as he took part in some light work on Friday, but he had not practiced prior to that. The Bills should have big plans for Oliver with Jordan Phillips skipping town via free agency this offseason, and starting those plans on the sideline is not ideal for the former first-round pick. Plenty of time to fix that, though.
