BrooklynBills Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 For me, I'd use it as a guideline but not an absolute rule. Each player is case by case. You strive for all 4 boxes to check but some might be in progress - if you believe in the player as a whole you might move fwd with 2 or 3 of the 4.

Southern Bills Fan Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Sammy will be given the opportunity to check all those boxes. He checks 2 of the 4 right now. He's accountable and reliable. He doesn't get in trouble and he can be relied on to produce when he's healthy. He needs to prove he's durable and will be available. (In your opinion) he checks 2 of the 4.

YoloinOhio Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 (In your opinion) he checks 2 of the 4.yes it's just imo that he's reliable when healthy and accountable for himself ... but I think durability and availability are question marks the team has not just me.

Hurricane Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 McDermott: Bills 'are concerned' with Clay's knee issue Bills tight end Charles Clay continues to deal with knee trouble. (Mark Mulville/Buffalo News) By Vic Carucci Published Thu, May 25, 2017 Charles Clay has had chronic knee trouble since joining the Buffalo Bills as a highly paid restricted free agent in 2015. The problem has persisted during the team's current offseason workouts, and it is something that coach Sean McDermott is worried about. "We are concerned with Charles' knee situation," McDermott told reporters Thursday before the Bills took the field for an OTA workout. "It's something we have to manage moving forward in order to have him on the field for us, which is important moving forward. He's a weapon for us." McDermott did say that Clay has taken part in drills, but the team is being cautious about how much work he receives. ADVERTISEMENT "He's participated in most all of it," the coach said. "That said, just like with all of our players, we have to put them in position to be successful, Charles no different. So if managing his reps, if that's what we have to do, then we'll continue to do that." McDermott did say that Wednesday's signing of free-agent tight end Wes Saxton was not related to Clay's knee issue. Besides Clay and Saxton, the Bills have five other tight ends: Nick O'Leary, Blake Annen, and rookie free agents Jason Croom and Keith Towbridge. Elsewhere on the health front, McDermott said right guard John Miller suffered an ankle sprain Wednesday and is "day-to-day." McDermott said another offensive lineman, Michael Ola, is also day-to-day with a knee injury. The coach said rookie wide receiver Zay Jones is "progressing well" from the knee injury he suffered in practice last week, and continues to be "week-to-week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 I think the concern with Clay's knee goes back to 2015 and it means they need to monitor it in practice so he's full go for games. I expect it's the same as the last two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills do to much of the believing in a player part at the expense of being on the football field IMO. Useless If you don't play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 This was the thinking that led to trading Marshawn Lynch. Which in the end really did not hurt us....we found other running backs. With all do respect.....what would you rather have? Talented players that dont step up as team leaders? Or very good players that give it everything they have and inspire the players around them. Outgoing Marshawn Lynch was not controlling his weight.....and was having off the field issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the thinking that led to trading Marshawn Lynch. The bigger mistake was drafting CJ spiller in the first round when we had jackson and lynch. You gave yourself a reason to get rid of lynch by doing that - and we needed Oline help and WRs. We went into 2010 with Lee Evans in a walk year - a 7th round pick in stevie johnson, and 2 UDFAs in nelson and donald jones... And we trade lynch, and draft spiller instead of Dez. Woof.
