    Didn't they say that about Corey Coleman?  ?

     

    Yep definitely. I have no problem with the thought process of giving these guys a shot.

     

    The one big difference is that Perriman is huge and faster than Coleman. But they have similar issues. Now that Perriman has cleared waivers, he shouldn't be expensive. The issue with Coleman is that we took on his contract to see if we can make something of him. Perriman is the better and cheaper bet imo.

  2. Zay Jones is the key here. If he's is healthy and fulfills his potential then the receiving corps should be very good. If he still sucks and we have Andre Holmes as our #2, then it is very bad. 

     

    Its all about Zay in my opinion.

    I have no issue with cutting/changing/trading/drafting punters and kickers. It's just going in to start a season and 7 days before the kick off of the opening game we totally dump what we have and bring in some rookie who hasn't even played in a pre-season game? Just seems mind boggling to me that type of, lets call it "Situation" would even be possible to happen at the NFL level -- you would just think they would have had a bit more planning and forsight then to be scrambling to grab an unknown rookie 7 days before kick off.

     

    I think it's a very fair point. If they really disliked Schmidt they could have drafted Dickson or Scott or Townsend...maybe signed Marquette King when he was cut. 

     

    That said I am ok with it. My guess is they had some agreement with this new punter, so they went ahead and drafted Austin Proehl...NE came calling and the punter screwed them and signed with NE instead. I think it happens a lot with UDFA. Bills were patient and got their guy. They must really like this guy, otherwise the move is questionable.

  4. Teams do this all of the time. They cut and bring in new kickers all of the the time. The Adam Vinatieries and Shane Lechlers of the world are outliers. As Bills fans we have not had a lot of turnover in the kicking game for awhile because we had Moorman and Lindell all that time. It's standard operating procedure in the NFL. 

     

    Remember before Lindell there was guys like Mike Hollis, Jake Arians etc etc. it happens.

    Not really seeing anyone after cuts that jumps off the page as "we have to have this guy"

     

    I just have this feeling that OL play is so bad in the league right now we are going to see SEVERAL draft picks go on offensive linemen next year and use our huge cap space for playmakers on the O and D side of the ball

    and frankly....I think Teller has outplayed both of our OG's

     

    Agreed. I really don't understand the harm in playing Teller over those other guys. I mean there will be growing pains, but Ducasse sucks. So he will make the same mistakes and worse, but it's okay because he is a "vet." 

     

    The only thing I hesitate with in regard to this regime is their undying devotion to crappy veterans like Vlad and Tolbert.
