    He’s bounced around but he’s also been behind some solid backs.

     

    Im not a Bama fan, just asking the question.

     

    He played under Daboll, big back, Shady and Gore gone next year, RB will be a huge position of need really only having Motor next year....

     

    If Seattle cuts him, should Buffalo get him? Would he be able to be stored on the practice squad?

    Yes, he can be stashed on the practice squad.

    But I don't see any way they have two super young RBs next year...they'll sign a veteran to backup Singletary, if he's ready for the starting job.

    But but it's the pre-season so none of this matters

    I'm pretty sure...


    A. The Lions went 4-0 in the preseason and 0-16 in the regular season.

     

    AND...

     

    B. The Patriots went 0-4 in the preseason and 16-0 in the regular season.

     

    So, it doesn't matter...at all.

    I was looking at teams around the NFL, can you name 5 NFL teams  CLEARLY better then the Buffalo Bills. If the Buffalo Bills played the below teams twice ( home & away) the Bills would lose both. Maybe I am a BIG HOMER but I can't come up with 5.

     

    Go for it......the Patriots, Steelers and Browns are not on my list

    Wow, some serious kool-aid drinking going on here...

    The Bills aren't even a top-10 team...they still have major holes and question marks throughout the roster, including QB, WR and offensive line.

    I'd take the Patriots, Rams, Chiefs, Seahawks, Steelers, Eagles, Saints, Bears, Packers, Colts, Browns, and Chargers, over the Bills at the moment.
     

     

    It's the same thing every single summer. Everyone looks great, the media loves us, we won the offseason, etc. Until the Bills prove it and win, I'll remain skeptical.

    ESPN also has Coach McDermott ranked highest on the list of "coaches on the hot seat" with a 73% chance of being fired after this season, so there's that. When anybody who has even remotely followed this team knows that unless we go 4-12, McDermott is going absolutely nowhere.


    I've stopped putting basically any stock in anything that ESPN says about the Bills.

    Well, that is exactly what the article was...the way you explained it is very misleading.

    If the Bills go 4-12, there is a 73% chance McDermott gets fired...that is what the article said.

    Fine but About half the NFL coaches would go before McDermott if they went 4-12 so to put him at #1 is asinine, imo.  You think Jason Garret or Maronne would survive 4-12, aint not way.  The only coaches that would be safe would be yr one coaches and some of them would be vulnerable.  I think if the Bils went 4-12, depending how badly, McDermott would survive.

    Marrone was second to McDermott. (Flores was third.)

     

    And going 4-12 would be another step in the wrong direction for the Bills...after going 9-7 and then 6-10.

  5. I think people are underestimating Clowney's talent...put him on this defense and he could flourish.

    People also need to take into account that he's an OLB in Houston, and he would play his natural position of DE in Buffalo.

    As long as he doesn't cost our 1st round pick, I'd make that trade in a heartbeat...but I want our 1st round pick for a legit #1 WR.

     

    This team isn't in a bad cap situation at all, they could trade for Clowney, sign him, and still be able to keep all of their own. Give him the money ($16M) from UFAs like McCoy, Gore, Gaines, Waddle and Bodine, and we're fine. Their replacements are in-house already. Clowney will probably get between Flowers ($18M) and Hunter ($14M).

    He would help Hughes a lot too, like Mario did...and that Texans DE was certainly worth the money, until Rex ruined him.

    I enjoy listening to the old and wise Greg Cosell breaking down the Bills with The Murph on One Bills Live.

     

    I saw that he was on the show last Friday to evaluate the Bills in the preseason opener so i took a listen.

     

    To my surprise he was no high on Ed Oliver’s debut.  He said he “struggled” for most of his plays especially when facing double teams.  He also said that Eddie needs to develop “perfect technique” in the NFL because he is too small to take on double teams.  

     

    I watched the game and this was not the impression I came away with.  I did see Ed get taken out by Quentin Nelson a few times but he is an All-Pro and one of the best.  I was very impressed by his debut, as were many Bills beat writers and it makes me wonder whether Greg really watched all of Ed’s plays of just the few where he was rendered ineffective by Nelson.

     

    As for the rest, Greg seemed somewhat reserved.  He mentioned some good things but also didn’t seem too impressed.  Even Murph was like “I feel pretty good about the Bills.”  But Greg did say, it’s important not to take away too much from the preseason - so maybe that’s why.   

     

    He is high on Daryl Johnson.  This he can be a good edge rusher in the NFL.

     

    Thinks Josh made some good throws but also missed a few others he should have had.   That pass to Zay Jones could have gotten him walloped.  Says he needs to work on that.

     

    Liked Cody Ford’s debut.  Believes that the coaching staff is trying to find the 5 best lineman which is why they are moving him around.  

     

    Thinks Vosean Joseph moves well but is a little small and thinks he’ll play behind Matt Milano and will have a tough time getting on the field behind him. (Greg actually talked about him and then 5 minutes later Tasker said “what did you think about Vosean Joseph?”  forcing Greg to repeat what he said earlier LOL).

     

    Said Tyree Jackson struggled big time as well and has a ton of work to do.  

     

    Puts over Singletary’s hard running, vision and patience but questions whether he can be a “power runner” due to his small size.  

     

    https://app.radio.com/hiQaUPmN6Y

    I keep seeing people say this, yet Darius Leonard is 6-2, 230 and Vosean Joseph is 6-1, 230 (Combine measurements). Once Joseph gets NFL training, he will get stronger and put on a few pounds. I think he's Lorenzo Alexander's replacement next year, not Milano's backup. I think Milano - Edmunds - Joseph could be one of the best LB trios in the league within a couple years, they have a lot of talent and a ton of athleticism.

     

     

    As for everything else, I agree with Cosell. I still worry about Allen, Ford is legit, Oliver is very small for a DT, Singletary's size and speed worry me, and Jackson should be tried at TE. I like Johnson a lot (especially his size)...he's been behind Hughes, Lawson, Murphy, Yarbrough and Love, but he won't make it to the practice squad. I'd keep Hughes, Lawson, Murphy, Love and Johnson...the two young kids can be just as effective as Yarbrough.

     

    I'd like to keep all of our rookies and 2nd year players, because I don't think any of them will go unclaimed in the practice squad process. Draft picks like Vosean Joseph, Darryl Johnson, Jaquan Johnson, Ray-Ray McCloud, Siran Neal, Tommy Sweeney, Wyatt Teller, and UDFA's like Tyree Jackson, Mike Love and Corey Thompson, would all get claimed. I'm not sure where most of them stand with the team, but they all have talent and teams would claim them, especially the draft picks. I'd add Jason Croom and Cam Phillips too, but I see no way that they can make the roster with the talent in front of them.

     

    Either way, it's nice that we're finally getting to a point where we can worry about who makes it and who doesn't...it's been a long time coming.

    Here's a guy, 7th rounder, bounced around for 7 years yet made almost 15 million dollars (that's $170K per game and $67K per catch!) ---and upon "retiring" he decides to dump on the sport that made him more money than he earned. 

     

    Mind you, this was the guy who, last year after signing a 1 year extension with the Titans, demanded a release due to lack of playing time--after week 3!!  The Titans granted him that request.

     

    Just look at that BS he put on Instagram.  "Brainwashing"!!

     

    A lot of these guys are really bad adults.

     

    We, as fans, have absolutely no clue what goes on within an organization behind closed doors...and we never will.

     

    He earned that money by putting his body on the line for our enjoyment, just like every player does every Sunday.

     

    So he demanded to be in a better position to contribute and earn his money...meanwhile coaches, GMs and owners cut guys all the time to save money.

    This all begs the question, "who the hell are we to judge these guys?" (For anything they do or say, especially after retirement.)

    "Bad adult." Seriously, worry about yourself. For you to worry about what another man says, or does, makes you an immature/insecure adult.


    Good on him for making his money...and for having the balls to speak out about how f***ed up the NFL can be, it's nice to see someone do it.

    Darryl Johnson out here getting dudes traded. 

    O-line injuries got dudes traded...Johnson is still behind Hughes, Lawson, Murphy, Yarbrough and Love.

    Does that put Teller on the wrong side of the bubble again?

    It definitely shouldn't...not for this guy anyways.

     

    This is simply a camp body because of all the injuries on the offensive line since camp opened.

    Amazing what desperately signing injured players can do. 

     

    (Yes. Snark)

     

    Again it's preseason but seeing them play yesterday and knowing they are being picked as a Super Bowl contender, I'm asking why?

    Because they have Andrew Luck, who wasn't playing...they had Phillip Walker playing.

     

    Their QB1 was out, their RB1 was out (RB2 barely played), WR1, WR3 and WR4 didn't play (WR2 barely played), TE1 and TE2 didn't play...see where this is going?

    Funny you mention this. I’ve always wondered how valuable a kicker would be who can kick and punt. Save a roster spot for another player. Can always just have the backup QB hold on kicks. 

    Some coach will eventually do it and look like a genius...

    Surprised Belichick hasn't done it yet.

     

    (I feel the same way about long snappers too...find an offensive lineman who can long snap and play on the offensive line.)

  11. What the f**k is this team doing with Robert Foster?

     

    I mean, what more can they ask from a kid...he got cut last year, worked on the practice squad, made his way back and balled out.

    Now they have him as the 6th WR in the rotation? That's insane.

    5 minutes ago, Logic said:


    Nope. He's the 4th WR on the depth chart. He's making the team.

    Last night he was 6th.

    Ed Oliver - we got a little lucky here draft was but thats ok.....we are due.   Ed Oliver looks special.....285 pounds AND taking ON DOUBLE TEAMS IN THE NFL.....AGAINST STARTERS.....comes in and gives last year's media darling OG for the colts Nelson in his first game and is just....well really really good.   It was great that we didnt have to trade up to get him because it allowed for more good picks.

     

    Cody Ford - he is straight up mauling ppl.....no way he should have fallen out fo the 1st but did....good at RT....very good at RG

     

    Devin Singletary - making plays all camp....made plays in his first PS game.....Beane did his homework and saw a player that was under utilized in the passing game and a rookie that can actually pass protect.  Is in a nice position where he doesn thave to be "the guy" but I have every confidence he could do so if asked.

     

    Knox - injured....jury is out

     

    Vosean Joseph - I think he is a ST's demon this year and slips into Lorax spot next year....this guy flat knocks the stuffing out of folks man a NICE later round pick.

     

    Jaquan Johnson - I feel like he is kinda getting caught up in numbers where we have a lot of good players.....jury still otu

     

    Darryl Johnson - having a good camp.....made plays in his first PS game.....I dont think you can take the chance of trying to PS stashing this guy because his size, weight, length, speed combo is special AND he is making plays......how did Beane find this guy in the last round of the draft?

     

    Beane is KILLING IT

    Not a single one of those last three will make it to the practice squad.

  13. I say we go get this kid...he can kick and punt, and he's only 25 years old.

    Vedvik connected on 4-of-4 field-goal attempts, including a 55-yard boot, in Thursday's blowout, a 29-0 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 25-year-old also nailed two PATs, and added two punts that averaged 55.5 yards.

  14. Just got the game, looking at things now...man, they really screw the Bills.

     

    How is Denzel Ward and Marcus Lattimore "superstars," but Tre'Davious White isn't?

     

    How is Leighton Vander Esche a "superstar" and Tremaine Edmunds isn't?

     

    How are guys like McCoy, Hughes, Poyer, Morse, Hauschka, Milano, and Ford rated so low?

    It's crazy...and it's impossible to play online with the Bills, you'll just get smoked every time.

  15. Like I said when we signed him, he's the most recent version of Eric Rogers and Duron Carter...two CFL star WR's.

    Neither lasted very long in the NFL.

     

    Eric Rogers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Rogers_(gridiron_football)

    Quote

    In 2015, Rogers' numbers were league-leading: "Rogers put up big numbers this past season for the Calgary Stampeders. He led the league with 1,448 receiving yards, was fourth with 87 receptions, and tied for the league lead with 10 receiving touchdowns."[8]

     

    On January 20, 2016, Rogers signed with the San Francisco 49ers after visiting 16 different NFL teams.[9] He tore his ACL in training camp and missed the entire 2016 season. On August 27, 2016, Rogers was placed on injured reserve.[10] On May 2, 2017, Rogers was waived by the 49ers.[11]

     

    Duron Carter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duron_Carter

    Quote

    Carter originally planned to hold a Pro Day for all NFL teams to attend in early January 2015, an idea which was later scrubbed in favor of personal meetings/workouts with various NFL teams. The first four teams with which Carter had meetings and workouts for were the Minnesota Vikings, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Kansas City Chiefs and the Indianapolis Colts. Carter also had a workout with the Carolina Panthers on January 14, 2015.[10] Other NFL clubs that expressed their interest in the wide-out included the San Francisco 49ers, Cleveland Browns and Tennessee Titans.[11] 

     

    On February 2, 2015, the Colts announced that Carter had signed a 3-year, $1.575 million contract with the team. Only $25,000 of his contract was guaranteed for 2015, and he did not receive a signing bonus.[15][16]

     

    On September 5, 2015, the Indianapolis Colts announced they had cut Carter from the team.[17] He signed to the Colts' practice squad on September 6.[18] After the season ended, Carter was not signed to a future/reserve contract by Indianapolis, and became a free agent on January 12, 2016.[19]

     

     

    If he makes it, it'll be a pleasant surprise...but as far as I'm concerned, he's a camp body and practice squad candidate.
