Formerly Allan in MD Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Connor Cook will be cut, EJ is lighting it up in Oakland Wait until EJ gets into a meaningful game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 EJ will be the #2 in Oakland I think. Dowling obviously likes him and they seem to have soured on Cook on and off the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) EJ will be the #2 in Oakland I think. Dowling obviously likes him and they seem to have soured on Cook on and off the field. GB: ....do you like this change?.....seems like a double edged sword......sure it gives 37 guys per team(1,184 in total; ) a longer look in camp.....but it then floods the streets going from 90 to 53 or the same 1,184 looking for jobs and GM's having a week to consider signing them..The "old way" put 480 on the streets initially going from 90 to 75 followed by the remaining 704 going from 75 to final 53........is it mandatory you carry 90 until Sept. 2 or can you cut guy(s) earlier that you know you're not keeping to improve their chances of hooking on somewhere earlier??.......

John from Riverside Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I really think that even though we have Boldin we might be looking for a speed reciever We have Sammy, Zay, and Bolden......but need a burner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 The owners want to move to two preseason games, but can't address it until the current CBA expires in 2021. But don't the owners want 2 extra regular season games in lieu of getting rid of 2 preseason games? The owners are not going to let go of lost revenue that they make by ripping off the fans of high priced tickets for meaningless games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Does this make him the 5th best quarterback in the AFC east now? It is the Pats* which automatically makes him 3rd best until he leaves. Someone else is lighting it up.. Well hopefully the feds will not tag you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do and the dance between them and the NFLPA will certainly be interesting when the next CBA is negotiated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I read it somewhere that Reggie Ragland could possibly be cut. Probably same source La Conjecture has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way they are losing any of the preseason is if they get regular season games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 That is why we signed Streater. I know that Streater is a big fast guy......I am wondering if they might be looking for a Goodwin type (with more durability of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I know that Streater is a big fast guy......I am wondering if they might be looking for a Goodwin type (with more durability of course) There is enough take top of defense speed on this roster. However always look to improve 41-53 roster spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 @TyDunne A quick take from Raiders camp for the Bills followers kickin' around: EJ Manuel looks good and there's a p-good chance he'll be the No. 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBean Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Connor Cook will be cut, EJ is lighting it up in Oakland When the lights come on, the real reports will come out. I'd bet money Cook ends up the #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonborn10 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I still hate our LB situation. Question marks everywhere. Hope they can upgrade via the waiver wire or a trade. Best hope is P. Brown goes back to 2014 form. Lorax is more sub-package pass rushing DE than a true OLB. The rest are barely special teams quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunken Pygmy Goat Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Wait until EJ gets into a meaningful game. Can you imagine, Carr is out and EJ carves up the Bills defense in OP?!? Naahhh, me neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. What a bitter bunch of female dogs we have trashing a guy who was a complete professional here. It sucks to say but we are the 2nd worst team in the NFL at developing qbs. EJ has his issues but when is the last successful qb we have developed? And I would bring any young qb with "potential" in to replace TJ Yates. When the lights come on, the real reports will come out. I'd bet money Cook ends up the #2. Yeah, Cook light it up against the Texans! https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/CookCo00/gamelog/post/ But then again, a guy who completed 55% of his passes in a 2 team Big Ten and is such a d bag that he wasn't voted captain for his senior year is a sure fire NFL stud.
