Bangarang Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Would not be surprised if he's cut. There's a reason he didn't step on the field until the 4th quarter yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artmalibu Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 "Sneak" lol good one. With limited looks could be two possibilities 1. He has already made the team and the coaches need to look at the other guys. 2. He has not earned the game reps. My guess is # 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Wow, showcasing for potential trades?! Someone out there is gonna give us something for Hogan or Kaufman?! Hahaha! Smart not to expose Rogers?! The guy is an undrafted player with character issues and hasn't performed in games. He's getting cut, deal with it. Wow, people have talked about the myth and legend of Easley over the years, but this Da'Rick guys fanboys takes the cake! Hasn't performed in games? Three targets, two catches, and one TD. Yeah...he hasn't performed at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Thank you! This board will implode when Da gets cut. Doubt it, The coaching staff sees these guys everyday. We'll just have to trust their judgement when it comes to who deserves a roster spot and who doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurlyBurly51 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Was I talking about trading Rogers?......No! Either they're smart for "hiding" him according to you, or he is actually "performing" in games, again according to you. Which is it? BTW, if this is your definition of performing, feel free to raise the bar just a tad - I know the coaches are. On another side, when guys like Kaufman and Sampson are stealing your game reps, outlook not so good for your boy. Oh, the horror of "exposing" him to waivers!

Kirby Jackson Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I have never heard of that. Intentionally downplaying a player just to "sneak" into practice squad. Practice squads are announced anyway. So as a coach/scout/manager/ you are aware of these things. The Bills did it with Jasper a few years ago (think it was him). Cut him early in hopes that other teams would not take a shot on his raw ability. They tried to give off the perception that he was too raw. Ironically, he was but I made some sense at the time.

That doesn't mean that he hasn't performed in the limited reps he has received. You're smart enough to understand this right? Kaufman, Sampson, meh!

BUNCH OF MULARKEY Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I think other teams that aren't as deep at wr would like him but why would they trade something when they have a shot to get him off waivers? How does that work? If he gets cut than he just signs with whoever wants to pay him the most ? Or does some kind of rookie wage scale take precedent?

The Big Cat Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Easley, Hogan and Rogers: pick two. Perhaps the reverse of Beerball's logic is at play and it's Easley who their strategically (in this case) showcasing. They won't keep him, but they make sure other teams take notice.

26CornerBlitz Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Smallest sample size in the history of sample sizes. You're right! He should just insert himself in the game and call plays for himself too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets cut he is not a free agent until he clears league wide waivers which is based on draft order. Its likely he gets claimed. there is little risk given his contract.

We'll just have to trust their judgement when it comes to who deserves a roster spot and who doesn't. Yes and I haven't heard one word from them or from the reporters at camp everyday that suggests he'll be a part of the final 53. I've heard the exact opposite. He's giving them every reason to cut him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard the exact opposite. He's giving them every reason to cut him. All of this is pure conjecture. We'll know soon enough. If this were indeed the case, given his previous problems in College, I think the Bills would have run out of patience and cut him already.

Cut him early in hopes that other teams would not take a shot on his raw ability. They tried to give off the perception that he was too raw. Ironically, he was but I made some sense at the time. Jasper wasnt believed to be a 2nd round talent who fell through the draft because of off the field issues. If a team cuts a 2nd round pick teams will notice those players and take flyers on them through waiver claims. It is true that teams do use their first cut down time to 75 to potentially hide very raw talent because teams may pass on the cut down to 75 players and ignore than more so than the cut down of players to 53. I could see Kauffman (and a few others) getting cut after next weeks game with the plan of putting him on the PS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAWNDO Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Another way to look at his situation is to see how much he plays against Washington. The coaching staff could been sending him a message about his play during the Colts Fumble Return. Plus there has been a lot of talk on WGR 550 about him not knowing where he needs to be for certain formations and missing reps because he did not realize he was supposed to be on the field. Hopefully the message is received . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurlyBurly51 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Easley, Hogan and Rogers: pick two. Actually, it's probably pick one. And I don't see how Rogers deserves to be that one. More importantly, the coaches relegating Rogers to 4th string play in games probably means he's not their first or second choice either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
