chris heff Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I've heard others say the same, what is this based on? From what I heard and it sounds like you as well, he's shown nothing. Nothing. I did watch him a fair amount at FSU, he just always made plays. He's worth having on the PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobChalmers Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) I've heard others say the same, what is this based on? From what I heard and it sounds like you as well, he's shown nothing. Nothing. O'Leary was the Mackey award winner and deserved to be so. As an FSU guy who's seen nearly all their games for a while, he always made big plays, tough catches, etc. The guy I've heard about in Bills' practices, and seen in pre-season games doesn't look like the same guy. Big disappointment, but he showed too much in college not to give him a good long chance to catch up. OTOH - I am astonished at how well Karlos Williams has been doing. I thought he was a possible bust - great athlete but seemed very raw as a runner, terrible at finding the hole, etc. Not surprising for a kid who switched from Safety to RB just a couple of years ago, but I'm glad to see I was wrong about him (or he's improved a lot)!

Bob i respect your posts and take consideration to your words. O Leary needs time. lets hope he sucked bad enough to not get picked up. lol In the olden days he might be good enough make the roster even though he showed badly, so thats a plus right! he might be overwhelmed by the speed and complexity of the NFL? But about Karlos. lets just keep our hats upon our heads for now shall we please? he has barely played and against scrubs in a vanilla scrum or two. and he has been injured most of the preseason. with a mystery ailment. But honestly he might have something if he works hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing.Ya, regarding O'Leary...Gragg and Gray are better. I don't see O'Leary ever getting above them or Clay on the depth chart this year or next or maybe ever. And, Mulligan is a totally different skill set. I would be fine letting the project go. It's not B.C he was poor, but, because TWO others got better and will continue to do so!! Isn't it nice when coaching improves offensive players?! Instead of regressing them. Sorry had to toss that in.

Cash Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 He looked a lot better than O'Leary. True, but a team is going to prioritize its own rookie draft picks over UDFAs like 99% of the time. See Dez Lewis getting a practice squad spot over Andre Davis, for example. But given the lack of pass-rush and D-line depth, I'm surprised it was Reed who was let go, rather than Noel or Cierre Wood. Especially Wood, come to think of it. We already have 4 halfbacks on the active roster - why do we need another for the practice squad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truth on hold Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Whats the deal IK and his suspension? Can he remain there since they don't count as part of the 53?

Nanker Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 He's on the PS. He won't get paid for four weeks. He can't practice nor be on site for those four weeks.

Even if that's true why bother with him since a purpose of PS is having guys ready in case of injury to the 53 wait a minute...wasn't precedent or lack thereof the whole reason behind Brady's suspension being dropped??? There isn't much precedent for punishment of teammates who fight each other in the locker room, but Buffalo Bills pass rusher IK Enemkpali was given at least a four-game suspension, which could be as many as six games Edited September 10, 2015 by The Poojer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
