I've wondered if the international flight had anything to do with it. I could see the protocol people having an issue with that long of a flight in a pressurized cabin so soon from a concussion.
Whaley and/or Rex must have *really* liked what they saw on tape at Florida State and are willing to be patient to see if it ever translates next level.
@GoalineFootball: Congratulations Alex Tanney on signing to Bills Practice Squad. Finished Preseason with 125.8 QB rating (4th... http://fb.me/2NaZdtDWC
Still - he has gone to Kansas City, Dallas, Cleveland, Tampa Bay, Tennessee, and now (most likely) Buffalo since 2012.
You don't get that many look-see's if there's absolutely nothing there.
I wonder if this visit took place before or after they were awarded Gabe Ikard off waivers. I gotta assume it was just in case they didn't get Ikard. I can't imagine they need two backup Centers on top of Urbik.
Or maybe Ty Powell went down for the year and we're stupid thin at the position? AJ Tarpley made the team at the same position as a UDFA.
He might not have shown a whole lot - but he's still a decently decorated Clemson product we spent a draft pick on at a position with little depth. I'm not surprised regardless of relationship.
Tom Coughlin drafted his son in law. Who cares?
@MMehtaNYDN: Jason Babin is the first relatively surprising cut by the Jets. Solid veteran. Bodes well for Trevor Reilly now. #nyj
Not a Bills cut. But with our depth at DE/3-4 OLB underneath Williams and Hughes plus the fact that he played for Ryan last year - it might be worth keeping an eye on.
Which ESPN? It's the US Open on ESPN and ESPN2 is doing a replay of First Take. They had NFL Live before that and NFL Insiders before that. Nothing like that on either.
That's just because his preferred method of relaying information is Josina Anderson - not Mike Rodak.
Looking at the replies sent to him on that tweet, I found this which I both laughed at and noted that it includes a pic of what I've been talking about:
@kknoell12: @mikerodak @billsdaily don't you work at ESPN mike? #comeonman http://pic.twitter.com/8uIRsVoV6e
It's funny, I can't provide a link. But if you turn on NFL Live on ESPN2 right now, it's on the top of their ticker as "UPDATE - ESPN Report: LeSean McCoy Says: "I'll Be Ready" (For Week 1)".
@mikerodak: Now the Bills say they have released Dez Lewis. So that takes them down to 57, which means 3 moves left.
They must have just forgot to write his name down
Interesting that Josina Anderson reported earlier Dezmin Lewis was released but he's not on the list sent out by the team.
As for O'Leary - I had high hopes for him but he doesn't even deserve Practice Squad consideration based off what I saw in Training Camp and the Pre-Season. I'm surprised he's still alive.
