at least it is only 1 this year.

Knox said in an interview that Beane approached him Ahead of the draft and told him he is targeting a TE so it was not a shock to him. So this is likely true….great Beane got his guy. It still has to work out. So far it looks like it will.

What do we expect the Bills to suddenly fire the coach and waive guys to get the team the way this clown wants? The bills would probably be one of the two best offenses if they did that lol. He has to blow hot air at the airwaves that is his take he can repeat it 10000 more times whatever. There is not just one way to get the job done.

on the depth chart Safety 4 is listed as Lewis/Hamlin. And Slot CB2 is listed as Lewis Slot CB3 is Neal. Not that the depth chart means a lot but he shows up in both spots higher than people seem to assume. Meaning most have Hamlin as safety 4 and Neal as Slot CB2.

Leanard Little killed someone drunk driving and kept playing "Little didn't play the rest of the season, and he would be placed on the non-football injury list. But the outrage was only beginning. Months later, when he pled guilty to involuntary manslaughter, he was given a sentence of 90 nights in jail and 1,000 hours of community service" There was a receiver for the Ravens who got no jail time for the same thing...he just payed the family 5M to not push it.

I figured that is where you would go.....lets see what the overruns are in Tennessee too. Also, there can be things making construciton more or less expensive in different locations/regions. Maybe it costs less to build anything in Tennessee than in NY with all the red tape, 100% union labor, labor laws, restrictions on everything. It would be more than 200M more to put a roof on the thing.

Who is doing that and why is it disrespectful if someone likes one stadium over another? Inflation. A done is another billion ( give or take). You throwing out a dollar amount assuming you can do more with it, do you have data to show how they could have had a dome for the same price? Also there is significant debate in the dome thing. Why do you have to be right because you are on one side of that fence?

He has to do what is right for the team. But then again he kept that Tanner dude on the PS because he was a friend of Josh. I think Josh is the only guy who gets that treatment.

Right. That NBA ref could only get the outcome he wanted maybe 70% of the time. NFL is a much tougher ask. It is certainly possible there is some bad egg somewhere trying but IMO it is not likely.

Is it as bad as the bills o line? /sarcasm

They seem to like Cam Lewis a lot and he can play both CB and S, I think he makes it.

Well the deadcap is more than the cap hit if he stays on the roster, they could spread it over two years but then they woudl be paying him for 2 years while he is not on the team. In short, this contract sucks and he is likely staying. Some kind of injury is likely but I agree it gets tough at that point. In some ways you are better off trading a couple guys who someone is willing to give you a pick for. You really want a spot or two if someone of interest becomes available. I think Spector would be my guy though if I had to choose.

This is the thing that jumped out to me also but depth charts now dont have a lot of real meaning.

I had Basham not making it and changed it after. I just fixed it

Special teams contributions is more than just tackles

I really dont see this happening. Matekevich is a special teams player. Klein was bouncing around on rosters/Practice squads last year. He can probably get to the PS and he would only be needed in an emergency. Matekevich is needed on special teams all the time. I agreed and edited the OP to show him in....

Special teams is his only way to the roster so this is good for him.

No tight ends....there goes the 12 personnel

If you are arguing for 9 vs 10, fine....I will not argue much....cut Boettger or whoever. In terms of injuries, that can vary by year and team. Just looking at the BIll's season last year is not enough data. I admit this is the one position I went off the reservation mostly to just mix it up.......if I was putting money down, Morris would be the guy.

They dress 8 OL every game and typically one or two are scratched. 10 OL is absolutely in line with how the roster looks. Trade him........what has he done. A second round pick who gets scratched a lot.....

I think I agree with you. My reason for cutting him is I am not sure he would get grabbed by anyone and they could call him up if they need him for a particular game. I think special teams and the things he does on offense when needed probably gains him a spot on the 53. Going through the exercise is hard, someone you dont want/think should be cut needs to be. THis is the thought every year....the reality is every team has their own tough decisions. I am sure a couple of them would get snatched up. and I am sure Beane will try to deal some. But anyone who signs a guy is putting them on their 53 which means they are cutting an extra body. 5 DE's with Von Miller and I dont think 6 LB's is out of line much with previous years. Matekavich is a special teams guy who they put "LB" next to. The other backups will be key teams players also.

The guys on the bottom are PS candidates, I was not trying to predict the PS as much...I was noting guys I think the team likes or "tough cuts" as guys who could be PS. I am sure you are right....Morris is the likely pick.....I was just trying to mix it up some.

Here is how I see the 53....actually 54 with Miller on PUP. I think the Bills will trade one or two guys. Based on reports I considered Shavers over Shorter but Beane likes his draft picks under 4 year contracts. Updates prior to Preseason game 1 Morris in, Sterberger out. Gilliam in Boettger out Basham in, no one out. Explanation. Every year the Bills set a 53 and waive someone (like Reid Ferguson) that they then sign back the next day after they put someone on IR. I am predicting they do that with someone below. So with miller, that makes 55 total guys which is what they did last year to start the season. Updates prior Preseason Game 2 Brandon Shell out, Ryan Van DeMark in - Shell retired Bubble guys: Kyle Allen, Justin Shorter, David Quessenbury, Baylon Spector, Cam Lewis Updates prior Preseason Game 3 Pushing for a spot: Cam Cline, Kingsley Jonathan, Andy Isabella Bubble guys: Baylon Spector, Cam Lewis, Shaq Lawson, Damien Harris, Khalil Shakir Trade candidates: Epenesa, Basham, other DE's if a team is willing to pay something. Shakir. I think Beane will be exploring anything if someone is will to provide a pick or possbly a backup tackle. Updates prior Final Cuts Klein in, Spector out..he could be season IR or a roster gymnastics guy to get him to in season IR. Want to find a way to keep Isabella....maybe over Lawson....I think they will weigth chances of guys getting poached, needs etc. I can see them keeping 7 WR's but putting Shakir on IR QB 2 Allen, Allen RB 4 Cook, Harris, Murray, Gilliam TE 3 Knox, Kincaid, Sternberger Morris WR 6 Diggs, Davis, Harty, Shakir, Sherfield, Shorter OT 4 Dawkins, Brown, Quessenbury, Shell Van DeMark OG 3 Torrence, McGovern, Edwards, Boettger C 2 Morse, Bates DT 5 Jones, Ford, Oliver, Phillips, Settle DE 5. Epenesa, Floyd, Lawson, Rousseau, Basham LB 6 Bernard, Milano, D Williams, Spector, Dodson, Matekavich, Klein CB 7 Elam, Jackson, T Johnson, Neal, White, Benford, Lewis S 4 Poyer, Hyde, Rapp, Hamlin K 1 Bass H 1 Ferguson P 1 Martin PUP Miller Lets refine this. If you are game, you can make one change to the above list. Copy, paste edit your guy, cross out the guy I kept and put in your guy bolded. Then someone can make a further edit. Each person can make one edit and anyone added (bolded) cannot be removed. Here are the key guys I have as not making it and prime candidates for the PS. QB 1 Barkley (Emergency QB) RB 1 Evans TE 1 Sternberger WR 2 Isabella, Shavers OT 2 Anderson, Doyle OG 3 Mancz, Broeker, Boettger C 0 DT 1 Ankou DE 2 Jonathan, Ray, LB 1 Klein CB 2 Austin, Ingram S 1 Marlowe

IYKYK

We agree to disagree on that one.
