CommonCents Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Dez Lewis getting all this good pub dooms him to be a non-factor. Do the Bills want the 4th highest paid TE to have this approach? I don't think the quote accurately portrays what was said in the interview. He spent most of the interview talking about helping the run game with his blocking and not worrying about what his receiving numbers look like. In the details he sounds like a team first guy.

So the plan when the Bills signed him was for him to replace that big palooka who's name I can't remember but think it started with an "M"?

PromoTheRobot Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 less likely to get the boot with OOO type reporting to be fair the other reports did too. Hilary Especially IF TT has a bad day. What does reporting good and bad days amount to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 but what about EJ? I hear he sucked but we're not supposed to talk about it because everyone knows he sucks so he shouldn't have his nose rubbed in "it" every day. How do you feel about this because it really hasn't been discussed enough. which one is humpty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 It's possible but Cardale is really raw (and I like him). I heard at the rookie camp he was even "rawer" (if that's a word) than they even expected. He has the physical skills but is a long way from playing valuable snaps. They could have taken a Kevin Hogan type that has a high floor but a low ceiling. Instead they went high ceiling and low floor. I'm okay with it. I would however be much more comfortable if they had Matt Moore, a McCown or Derek Anderson as their #2. A smart, reliable vet that can manage the games for a few weeks. I didn't want Hogan but given that Whaley wasn't looking for starting caliber QB he would have been ideal rookie backup being in a pro system that was run by Roman. We need someone to step in if TT goes down and not have the wheels fall off and ej is not that guy. Granted there is not much we can do know but not getting a solid backup could cost us again (if Hoyer is still out there I'd take him) What does reporting good and bad days amount to? then why report at all? No McSometing I think. Mulligan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Not liking this answer from our highly compensated supposedly #1 TE. I think it's more giving credit to the other TE's than anything. I'm sure he knows he's the guy. Article points more to taking targets away from WRs/RBs if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) I wouldn't have EJ as a top 20 backup in the league. USA Today did there list late last year and had him at 24. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2015/11/19/backup-quarterbacks-rankings-matt-hasselbeck-brock-osweiler-mark-sanchez-derek-anderson/76036812/ Some of these situations have changed but others like Cincinnati have improved. He is a really bad player. I don't disagree all that much with EJ's ranking. I'd have him about 18 but he is a mid range backup at best but wow I hate that list. I disagree with almost all of their rankings. It is a bad list. Geno number 10 was when my disbelief turned to rage. Other than Hasselbeck at #1 almost everything else is wrong.

Yeah, I don't like the list either (it's a little dated too). McCarron would be top 5 at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I am sure there will be a load of revised lists of best backups around the pre-season and EJ will still be in the bottom half of that list.

26CornerBlitz Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Bills Today: 'D' to dictate play to opposing offenses Buffalo's 2016 defense will take on the traditional approach of Rex Ryan schemes.
