He’s the best linebacker on the team

Love Shaq. He will be starting by mid season in my opinion. Good practice squad with a mix of young upside guys and some vets

I’m a fullback guy and I liked VanSumeren, but the way they used him in preseason, as a sort of move lead blocker is H back stuff that the TEs Hawes and Latu can definitely handle. They never lined up in I or anything to smash. So it makes sense that they didn’t feel they needed a FB.

I am guessing it’s TJ Sanders. I think they have a mix of different types to make this defense work. But you can never have enough pass rushers to throw at offensive linemen so I am ok with 6 guys at that outside spot.

I doubt they make it to the Bills on the waiver wire, but Trevin Wallace, Junior Colson, and Drew Sanders, to me are more interesting linebackers than anyone on the Bills roster not named Elarms-Orr

The one thing on Sherfield is that he was on and off practices squads all year last year. That’s what the league thinks of him, so I think the chances of losing him are minimal. It’s a calculated risk to keep someone else.

Anthony Gould and Charlie Jones give you depth receivers who can return punts. Both cut from the Colts and Bengals. One of the reasons the may have cut the FB VanSumeren is the Broncos cut Adam Prentice, who if I recall was their first choice for FB in the offseason. I have always thought Drew Sanders was interesting and could be an interesting add from the Broncos as well. Another linebacker we talked about a lot here, Jack Sanborn, was cut. Another former Badger, DL, Isaiahh Loudermilk, was cut by the Vikings. The Broncos also cut TE Justin Joly who the Bills allegedly really liked draft time.

Waiting for the people who were chiming in about Walker yesterday to chime back in. Seems like Gunner was right after all. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah I don’t disagree. I think Jones has upside as a receiver but really hasn’t gotten much opportunity with the Bengals, so you get an interesting WR with upside who returns punts. I like Jones. Former UB guy and he had that one huge year at Purdue.

I feel like they are comparable, typical 4/5 receiver. Jones gives you return ability. Sherfield gives you special teams in other ways. But his receiving stats aren’t close to Sherfields. He’s younger and hasn’t had much opportunities. I feel like this team’s need for a punt returner is pretty glaring.

Sounds like Charlie Jones is on the roster bubble in Cincy somehow. He instantly becomes your punt returner and adds depth at receiver.

Kyle is kinda like the anti-Josh. Josh Allen was a zero star recruit who had to crawl his way through junior college and prove himself working up to a first round pick. Kyle Allen was a very highly touted QB coming out of high school, he was a 5 star recruit and the #1 ranked pro style QB. He started at Texas A&M initially but wind up losing his job to Kyler Murray. Transferred to Houston where he never really found comfort, and went undrafted. Good arm and really good mechanics with sort of normal QB size. He’s like 6-3, 210ish. He has talent but never found consistency. Their stories are more or less the complete opposite road.

Carter for like a Drew Sanders? Some guy on the brink who could maybe at competition at linebacker.

Classic fire hydrant nose tackle. Had a few sacks with the Rams.

This is really stupid stuff, at the same time not a huge deal. I liked Mathis but he was definitely a fringe guy. And hey, everyone’s favorite UDFA Zxavian Harris was cut already so he’s out there. But, honestly, the NFL makes no sense. Who they do and do not suspend for different things just doesn’t make logical sense.

This is going to be great for Dion. He came into the league at like 320 or something. The last few years it looked like he was playing at 360ish. So if he’s closer to his early year’s weight that’s great. His game is all about his foot quickness and arm length and that won’t suffer. His quickness got worse the last few years so this weight loss will be great for him IMO.

Disappointed there is “no fat guy with a helmet and huge burger” picture. Different era I suppose.

What’s crazy is of those mainstays this team relied on in one way or another the last couple of season, only Lewis, Johnson and Epenesa have jobs.

McDermott would never 😋

Is Brandon McManus still good?

Trujillo gone. I wonder if they bring in competition for Bass.

Dude makes plays in a rotational role. Exactly want you want. Great motor. Some rush talent and good against the run.

Seems like the kind of work around the NFL should try to shut down. It’s kind of a weird look but I get it. It’s not like the hiring team is losing picks.

This was an excellent episode. Really good breakdown and some cool insights from Groot

Interesting to see where this goes. Obviously it’s a long shot, but at the end of the day Burton needs to beat out Sherfield and Hardman, and to me that is very doable….assuming Shavers is PUPed. If his head is on straight, Burton is so much better than those guys. The special teams piece will be a big part of it, but Burton has a shot.
