Just how much do you think we should dismantle our ST from last season?
I'm perfectly fine with Bass kicking in the end zone every kick off and we shouldn't be punting too much.
You really shouldn't need more than Neal, Kumerow, Smith, and Matakevich as ST aces.

Unless Bills have a gentleman's agreement with Hollister, they cut him to IR a player once the 53 are set, the scenario numerous folks have outlined. Then you save $550K by going with Hollister. Hard to understand?
I don't believe in gentleman's agreements when money in on the line. Hollister is now allowed to negotiate with any team. It could cost the Bills more than 550k than what they were going to pay Hollister.

Jones costs $700k to do it with. Hollister about $150k.
Hollister would have a lot more interest on open market than Jones.

This has to be it.

I think they can keep both because Kumerow can play special teams on their coverage units. But I agree keeping a 29 year old 1 year player as a backup and risking a high potential rookie is not a great calculation otherwise.
I think then you would be cutting D Johnson, who I think is a better ST player than Kumerow.
I think Kumerow on a normal basis will have less than 5 snaps on offense and is just an ok ST player. I just don't understand how that is enough to warrant a roster spot on this team.
-
Kumerow not being used in red zone of Sat with first team offense was a pretty good indicator he isn't going to have a role this year unless multiple people get hurt.
I don't know if I would want to keep a guy on a one year deal that is 29 years old that will have a very small role on this team, versus a guy like Stevenson who is young and under control for 4 years.

I filed my taxes in early Feb. I still have not had my taxes processed. In filing a complaint to my congressman's office I was told that the IRS should be notifying in 2 to 3 weeks. That was a month ago. They didn't respond. It's futile even attempting to call the IRS. I seethe.
The IRS is one of the worst run organizations in the this country.
I personally do my taxes throughout the year and mess with my deductions to make sure my takes are pretty much right on so I don't need to pay or get a lot of money back. Usually get it within 100 dollars or so. I think people forget that most are just getting back what they overpaid, just don't overpay.

Dodson needs to be on the roster with the way Milano always gets injured. We need 6 LBs. At one point last year, I think we had 7 or 8.
Hodgins doesn't need to be on this team. I don't get the obsession with him.
Doyle doesn't deserve to be on team.
Those are not super bowl caliber CBs. Scary thin.
How did he write this roster with 1 TE on it.

Wow, everyone jumping the gun on McKenzie's injury. The Bills need somebody to return kicks on Saturday. McKenzie and Stevenson are likely out. Signing this guy to let him return kicks and get some film on tape says NOTHING about the extent of the injuries to McKenzie and Stevenson.
Is Powell not on this team?

Just curious, who did you like more in the Bills, Clements or Winfield?
That's way to far back to pick which player I like better. I liked McGee, lol

This doesn’t show anything though. We have 2 WRs out on the COVID list and 1 out with an injury.
We already knew McKenzie wasn’t going to play on Saturday, so signing someone to handle kickoffs and maybe catch passes from Webb or Fromm doesn’t tell us how significant the injury is.
They would have just kept Lenoir then and had Powell do kick offs. They signed a guy that is pretty identical to Mckenzie.

Exactly. Zimmer makes impact plays to win games. Phillips is a feel-good story to Kyle Williams fans, only he’s no Kyle Williams.
Zimmer has made one play while getting blown up on all others. Phillips bulk will be huge to get the LBs going.
8 minutes ago, YattaOkasan said:Thanks. I think Zimmer > Butler. I also think it might be tough (and I usually dont think its tough) to get him to PS, since he was claimed at one point last season.
Butler is a lot better than Zimmer. Zimmer is an undersized DT that any team could have signed for multiple years, and has always ended in the same spot.

Plays a lot like Mckenzie. Interesting signing.
-
I've heard minimum 8 weeks with Mckenzie, but not sure I trusted the guy. Either way, the dude told me it wasn't good yesterday, and this kind of shows that.

How many DT do you have them going with. I have 4: Ed, Star, Zimmer, Harry. Do you have less? Do you have Butler on the team?
I would also note that Zimmer got a lot of snaps last year with Harry on the team. So unless you think Star makes all the difference (and Butler is better than Zimmer) than I'm not sure how reconcile that fact.
Star
Ed
Butler
Phillips
Basham and Obada will flip inside too.
Zimmer on PS

If youre measuring impact to the team youre gonna need to show me the 10 plays where harrison phillips saves us from an embarrassing loss to the Pats by punching the ball out of Cams hands. I have both making the team.
Zimmer ain't making it, unless Harrison goes to IR

Harrison Phillips and Justin Zimmer.
I was measuring their impact to the team.

They also play different positions so to compare them is like comparing Ted Washington to John Randle.
Who plays different positions?
-
Seeing people say Harrison should be cut makes my head hurt.
He is the best 1 T we have. The guy put on some serious girth and looked great in preseason. He would have overtaken Star as the starter.
Also, Zimmer is a PS, reserve player at best. Harrison is 10x the player Zimmer is.

And after listening to Beane - we now know why this was done this way. The Bills sent home 5 players as a precaution. They were still waiting for the NFL to deem close contacts.
The NFL deemed DAvis, Star, and Beasley, but also identified Butler. Milano and Klein were not considered close contacts and can return tomorrow.
The date starts from their last contact so 5 days start yesterday for most and Sunday it sounds like for Butler - so all could clear prior to the game this weekend.
So no they could not have used the five people on the COVID list to get down and they did not get the official close contact list until after the cut downs were required as it the NFL - not the team that decides contacts.
Sounds like the Bills handled this as best they could with getting guys out of the area as soon as possible and addressing contacts to prevent issues.
I give this team and FO 👍👍!
Ummmm, they placed 4 on the COVID reserve list. What you talking about??

The Bills are not at 76 - they are at 81 and sent 5 players home with COVID. At this point - none of the five have been put on the COVID reserve list and they had to get down to 81.
It could be timing, it could be waiting on protocol, it could be they want them participating remotely and if on the COVID list you can’t participate.
I don’t know exactly what their plans are, but at the moment - they needed to cut the 5 guys and it made no difference as the 5 guys sent home were not playing more than a few snaps - if at all.
If they decide to move the players to the COVID list - then they will have 5 spots open to deal with signing guys. I will worry about that when it happens, but for now they are right where they should be for a roster.
Wrong, 4 players placed on COVID reserve list today. They brought in 2 guys already.

Well considering they have to by 4pm today. Would that still be bad management?
And for those complaining Hart is still here. How many Healthy Tackles do the Bills have RIGHT now?
Again, they did not have to cut players because of the 5 guys on COVID reserve. We could have had all these players for Sat, and cut them after the game.
29 minutes ago, Just Joshin' said:Seeing how they are required to get down to a lower number, this makes no sense. On the other hand, have seen worse takes this week.
Again, they got down to the number by the 5 on COVID reserve. They are now 5 below the number they need to be

What are you talking about? Teams were required to cut 5 players today . Might see starters play more this week.
We put 5 players on the COVID reserve list, which put us down to the required 81. We are now at 76 players, five less than what was required.

Considering they had to cut 5 guys - not sure what this post means.
Every team has to get down to 80/81 by today - so we’re the Bills supposed to not do that?
The Bills are at 76 with 5 players on the COVID reserve list.

Star continues to remain on my “bad” list. It’s his right not to have the vaccine, but at the same time for someone who sat out all last year, apparently so concerned about the virus, you would’ve thought he’d be first in line to take every precaution necessary to stave off the virus, including the vaccination. I don’t think he loves football and again, I’m surprised he hasn’t been afforded a single game rep yet, regardless of his veteran status.
You should hear what his college buddies say about him.
-
Releasing 5 players when you don't have to before a preseason game is such bad management. Wonder what player will end up hurt that you planned to rely upon for the regular season. These are 5 guys that should have been getting a ton of time on Sat.

I liked Mccloud better than Wildgoose in the preseason.
