nucci Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 He punts too? No he doesn't but you will still not need AS MUCH coverage with Potter kicking. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn Down For Watkins Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Because they're only going to keep 6 receivers Graham, Johnson, Nelson, Jones, Martin, Hagan Martin makes it based on kick coverage rather than Roosevelt on return ability - we have a bunch of guys who can return punts. I think were more likely to keep 5 recievers, plus Brad Smith.Stevie, Jones, Nelson, Graham, Hagan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Landing Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I don't sweat the Jets at all, but fwiw I'm thinking that Zebrie was playing G and not T in the Vikings scrimmage. I think it's a mistake to consider the opener vs the Jets as a slam dunk. The Jets Circus gets a lot of media attention, but I think it's likely that, to a degree, it is hype. Most of the Las Vegas sports books still have the Jets favored by 3 points. That's down from 6 a couple months ago, so perception is trending in our direction. Depending on our, and the Jets showing on Saturday, I suspect that the spread will drop even further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJasper Probincrux III Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I think were more likely to keep 5 recievers, plus Brad Smith. Stevie, Jones, Nelson, Graham, Hagan And if it were me I'd keep 7 plus Smith given the number of 5 wide sets we run. We were really struggling for wideouts toward the end of last year.

Turbosrrgood Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) I think were more likely to keep 5 recievers, plus Brad Smith. Stevie, Jones, Nelson, Graham, Hagan With Gailey's desire to spread them 5 wide on many occasions? I doubt they only keep 5 wide, with none of them being good ST'ers (coverage)... Figure at least one of Easley, Roosevelt, Martin also makes the team. Edited August 22, 2012 by Turbosrrgood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember who looked awful in the preseason last year, couldnt get out of their own way and struggled to score points? The Kansas city chiefs.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Because they're only going to keep 6 receivers Graham, Johnson, Nelson, Jones, Martin, Hagan Martin makes it based on kick coverage rather than Roosevelt on return ability - we have a bunch of guys who can return punts. You may be right. Martin does seem to pick up penalties at inopportune times on ST though. I've been hoping against hope that our rook LB would show enough on ST that they'd feel comfortable letting Martin go. He apparently runs good routes, but gaaaah-his hands. Apparently it's hard to coach velcro hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised if Martin does not make the team. He is great on special teams. DeHaven gets this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
