CSBill Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 The title says it all: When does it start? And who of the recent cuts do you think lands there? And it is probably impossible to predict, but they always seem to get guys dumped by other teams. Any hints of who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSBill Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 I say . . . Blake Annen (an athlete, like most TE, needs time to develop) and Dez Lewis (showed enough in Mini-Camp and early in Pre-Season to stay with him) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 You have limited slots, can't see using one on a kicker who's only reason he's even been with the Bills is because Carp has a weak leg for kick offs. If Carp were to get hurt, they could either likely sign gay as a street FA or sign some ex kicker who is currently not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The odds of him being picked up by another team are pretty remote. They can just let him wait at home. If they decide they need him just resign him.

And he gains very little with regards to learning the playbook, and provides little in added practice versatility (running a scout team). Unless you are simply wanting to limit carps practice attempts dramatically there's absolutely no value and I'd hope the kicker we kept would be able to handle the basics asked if 31 others with regards to practice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can just let him wait at home. If they decide they need him just resign him. I guess it's easier for him to practice in the Bills facilities than on his own, plus Carpenter wouldn't have to wear down his legs during the season by kicking in practice. I understand that we might be better of giving the PS spot to a more valuable position, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Looking strictly within our most recent roster: K Jordan Gay I believe Gay was active too many games to go on practice squad.

NoSaint Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I agree with you but how big of a playbook does a kickoff specialist have? Exactly my point though maybe could've worded better. A linebacker (or wr or TE or...) has much more to learn, is more likely to be needed AND helps scout team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Surprised to see gay. The only perk off hand that I see is that he's unlikely to be claimed by another team now, if they think he can be kicker in case of emergency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I meant for kickoffs. Dan's ST leg is not good. They know it too. Yep. There are three secnarios: 1. Carpenter bounces back and does both jobs well - Gay remains on the PS squad all year. 2. Carpenter is back to being money of XPs and FGs but his KO depth is not good - Gay likely activated later in the year to be KO specialist. 3. Carpenter struggles with XPs and KOs - they likely cut Carp and try and find a guy off the street who can do both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Gay to practice squad likely has to be to save Carpenters leg in practice while they work on KR team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cripple Creek Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Insurance in case Carp gets hurt during the season, plus they keep the leg on the shelf and practicing for one more year in case carp does not have a great year, If he gets hurt during the season you sign Gay. This seems odd to me. He can still be signed by any team needing a kicker so there's no security in signing him to the PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I'm not because I'm smart but you never know. Dan is worth sparing if he's nailing them like 2014. If he's 2015 Dan, get rid of both.
