As of today the Bills have 3 Whites slated to start on the o-line -- Erik Pears at RT, Kraig Urbik at RG and Eric Wood at center. Scott Chandler is the starting tight end. On defense the great tackle Kyle Williams is the only White player going four-deep on the depth chart.
A bright spot on a team otherwise going all-in on the Caste System is receiver Chris Hogan, who should make the team and may even end up as their slot receiver, though he has already been through an agonizingly long racial apprenticeship (the Bills being his fourth NFL team since 2011) that may or may not be continued this season on the Caste Bills. At least this article sounds encouraging:
It wasn't a mirage.
On Sunday night, Chris Hogan took reps at slot receiver with the Bills' first-team offense in a 17-13 loss to the Giants while Robert Woods watched from the sideline until the second-team unit came in. At practice on Tuesday, Hogan was again getting the majority of reps in the slot with the first team, and Woods was mixing in at the outside receiver spots.
Hogan has earned every rep he's gotten during training camp. Whether it's the extra routes he's running after practice or the daily work he does with the JUGS machine while most of his teammates are in the locker room, Hogan is taking advantage of every minute he's on the field. It paid off with extra playing time on Sunday.
"For me, it's really just a testament to how hard I've been working," Hogan said. "I'm just trying to get these opportunities, and when I'm getting them, I'm making the most of them. I like to be that guy to come out here and I don't make mistakes, I don't drop a lot of balls."
Hogan has been that guy early in camp, and it's providing a bit of added competition to an already strong wide receiver depth chart.
"That's the challenge, you have to push each other to be better," Woods said. "The more competition, the better the team is."
Coach Doug Marrone didn't have much else to add in regards to why Hogan was playing ahead of Woods on Saturday.
