Big C Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Other than the 6 wideouts, who do we see making the roster at TE? Dickerson asked to be moved back from WR and I think his speed works for what we seem to be going for. Does that conflict with Gragg or do we keep them both? What do we do with Caussin and Smith? The only part I'm not sure of is how good of blockers Gragg and Dorin are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only part I'm not sure of is how good of blockers Gragg and Dorin are. They don't really seem to have much use for a fullback so I could see it working out where we end up keeping 4 TE's and one of them functioning in more of an H back role.

offyourocker Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I wanna see Woods Vs. Gilmore. Then we will know what's what with Woods. And, while we are watching that, we can see what Steve can do, when the best CB is covering elsewhere. I also want to see what Steve can do in the slot. I also want to see what happens with Steve when Goodwin and Graham are on the field at the same time. I'd like to see how the defense reacts to that too. Love to see those guys obliterate the top, not just take the top off, the defense, and see what we can do with that. Imagine a Tampa 2 defense that has to deal with that. The entire back 4 is gone, and if you can run the ball out of that, and get to the 2nd level...then it's a TD, or at least a 60 yard running play, if it's Spiller. We are going to be unstoppable just with one draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 Other than the 6 wideouts, who do we see making the roster at TE?

The only part I'm not sure of is how good of blockers Gragg and Dorin are. From what I've heard -- and I'm admittedly making assumptions -- I think the Bills really like Gragg and felt he was not a 7th-round talent. Dickerson also brings speed to the table and that makes him valuable. My premature guess -- they'll keep three TEs. Those three are Gragg, Dickerson, and Chandler. If Chandler is not ready to play on Sep. 8, they keep four and either Caussin or Smith stay on until Chandler is healthy. This assessment changes if the Bills really think they need to have one or two TEs on the roster who can serve as legitimate in-line blockers.

FluffHead Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Lee Smith makes the team simply because Chandler, Dickerson and Gragg are all pass catchers who are below average to lousy blockers. I admittedly don't know much about Caussin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCinBuffalo Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 We are going to be unstoppable just with one draft Not saying that. I said I want to what happens when they are on the field, and see what they can do. The potential exists for a lot of things, but potential means nothing until it shows up on the field. However, a lot of potential is better than no potential, or little potential. Or, I'd rather be us, than the Dolphins, who pretty much know their WRs can perform at an average-good level, but also know their ceiling, and know none of them individually or as a group will ever be great. Double that for the Jets and Pats, who have little potential and ceilings so low that only a smurf is comfortable with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame...Vontae Leach is about to be released by Balitimore..... All said, I thought that T Jax re-signing, especially when he re- signed, was one of the odder off-season moves this off-season...not so much from the Bills POV, but from his. I think somebody will sign him...he may not be great shakes, but a guy who has been a starter for 25+ games is hard to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt in KC Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 That’s exciting for us—putting the players on the field where don’t have coaches on the outside yelling out calls or trying to put them in position. We’re putting a little bit more accountability on them – lining up and being able to do it.” http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2013/06/11/how-minicamp-will-differ-from-otas/ What's up with driving accountability and asking players to perform at the start of minicamp? I thought we were going to wait until deep into preseason or later like usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
