I don't know much, but I do really think, resolutely, that Cody Ford is not an answer. And that Cody Ford cannot be coached up, nor salvaged by anyone at this point. I don't like to be negative but that one just did not work out.
As long as the "whipping boy" subject is predominant in this thread I want to take this opportunity to defend M. Stevenson (#5). I think it is way too early to give up on him and decide after a few plays that "he has no vision" and/or "only has straight line speed". While both of those may be true, I don't want to jump to any conclusions without giving the young man a full chance. I think the sample size is too small to make those conclusions, in a concrete sense.
I read in a local paper that Tim Settle of the Commanders might be a "break out" option. the journalist felt he was buried on the depth chart but could shine given a chance.
After having those players swiped from our Practice Squad, I wonder in BBB (Big Baller Beane) will use some of those late rounders to move up a bit here and there?
I am not sure if the salary cap and losing some veteran strength will reduce the need to keep decent players open to being swiped?
Unless the Bills were honest and up front. But the candidates interviewed just to meet and exchange ideas. What if Dorsey gets a HC in a few years. they have familiarity, as long as everything is up front.
Do you believe that is a fair analysis of M. Stevenson? I will be a bit more patient and see what develops. I have no opinion on Stevenson right now, but will be anxious to see what things look like in the fall.
Hodgins may have been a miss.
