I thought it was interesting when talking about Kincaid, Josh brought up what Beane said concerning Kincaid and 2 TE sets etc. Challenging the defense whether to stay in Base or Nickel and the variations in each. With an improved run game, it could be a problem for Ds. I wanted Dorsey to take what the D was giving last season, more than not. I do however think the Josh and Dorsey want to dictate what the D does, more often than not. I'm looking forward to seeing how this pans out.

The Bills had 2 Anderson's on the team. Alec Anderson OL is on the Bills 53 roster. He has upside. Bills waived Zayne Anderson S who was claimed. Not sure if that helps.

I've said this numerous times already this offseason. My mantra this year is what Jordan Poyer said in his "welcome back" presser. When asked what the Bills have to do to win it all this season his answer was just "finish". They have the team and organization to win it all. It's up to everyone at OBD to just finish.

I just wanted to see who Kirksey's LB and DT partners last season with the Texans were. Woof. Christian Kirksey - 97% snaps Christian Harris - 60% snaps - 3rd round rookie who was on IR to start the season and came in Game #6. Kamu Grugier-Hill - 31% snaps - release from Texans after Christian Harris was activated. Jake Hansen - 17% snaps - Rookie UDFA Blake Cashman - 13% snaps - Former NYJ 5th rounder. Garret Wallow - 11% snaps - 2nd year Texan 5th rounder. Jalen Reeves-Maybin snaps- 7% - Former Detroit 5th rounder. 6 years in the league with 14 career starts. Kevin Pierre-Louis - 4% snaps - 9 year veteran formerly on 6 different teams. Neville Hewitt - 2% snaps- 8 year veteran. Texans DTs Maliek Collins - 52% snaps - By far the best DT. Missed 2 games. Roy Lopez - 48% snaps - 2nd year Texans 6th rounder. Kurt Hinish - 37% snaps - Rookie UDFA. Thomas Booker - 18% snaps - Rookie 5th rounder. Michael Dwumfour - 17% snaps - 2nd year UDFA. Waived by the Texans in December. Jaleel Johnson - 7% snaps - Waived by the Texans in November. Taylor Stallworth - 2% snaps - 5 year veteran UDFA. I think Kirksey will love having Milano next to him and the Bills DTs in front of him.

No, but hopefully a new QB soon.

He sets a floor for all the others competing. With Bernard getting healthy and Kirksey in the mix thing are better than they were last week.

So Beane says,

Can't ask for better than that! Get him caught up to the scheme as quick as possible and let him compete for the job. A bit of "wizardry" if I'm allowed to be happy on the board.

The trade saved some cap versus a cut. He was a bad pick, and no one really wanted to give more.

I don't see "Filthy Beast" posts except in replies, but every time I see his board name, I think of the Cary Grant movie Father Goose. I gave up on that guy last season. LOL.

I think Beane can get a guy on the PS better than Sternberger too.

Well, there you go. I got my answer to who is Isabella's partner.

They had 3-4 last year too if I remember correctly.

It's one of those either or with me. I hope Beane and McDermott get to choose from both.

The Bills official site has Barkley on IR with Doyle and Davidson. So does Spotrac and OTC. His cap hit on Spotrac is reduced to $585k. https://www.buffalobills.com/team/players-roster/

Every year the comments about the PS guys gets more extreme. From "diamond in the rough" to "burger flippers". These guys play a role and get paid pretty well to do it. Isabella is making $290k at a minimum. That's a lot of burgers but Diggs doesn't need to worry about his roster spot!

I wonder who Isabella's WR partner will be. KeeSean Johnson? Marcell Ateman? It's a pretty good PS duo whoever makes it.

Isabella and/or the other PS WR could be getting called up early to fill in for Shorter for the next 4 or 5 games. With all the new PS rules these guys importance has risen.

Thanks BillyG, you've been doing a great job with info. If you got time, it would be great if you started a Bills PS thread that the mods could pin. 1 down, 15 to go!

This should end the thread, but you know it won't. LOL.

Not sure about that for the 53 as much as for the PS.

Historically there are usually 30+ waiver claims the first day. Here's to hoping no Bills are claimed and McDermott and Beane get their pick of the litter.

For anyone interested, Spotrac has the Bills with $2.564M in cap space under the Top 51 rule and $1.06M with all the contracts. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cap/ OTC has an extra $3M or so, but they don't show their work the way Spotrac does, so it's hard to know where they get that from. Beane stays under the Top 51 until September 10th, so he has leeway in doing some cap "gymnastics". Signing back Ferguson and Ifedi should add a little over $2M in contract money. PS should add around another $3.7M. Having the guys go to IR/PUP opens up spots on the 53 rosters but they have to be replaced with other player salaries. "Stashing" costs money, LOL. FWIW.

As you can see Siran Neal is untouchable. Both are NCB backups on the Bills Depth Chart. Actually, Cam is 2nd string. That might be trade bait stuff.

KJ is on a 2-year contract. If he shows well the first 6 weeks he may stay and Shaq gets cut and maybe PS bound. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/kingsley-jonathan-77605/
