oldmanfan Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 You think picking through the NFL waiver wire trash heap will bring any better players? I don't. There will be proven veteran guys that get cut just like always. Happens every single year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmanfan Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 You think picking through the NFL waiver wire trash heap will bring any better players? I don't. . It's different than back in the day when there were a couple different cut dates. A ton of guys will be available. I see Reilly coming back; not many teams will lock onto a former hockey playing FA rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Ok...you continue to fight for a borderline roster player if you like. At this time, they decided they would rather go with guys with experience over an unknown who flashed in preseason against other fringe players. You could make the argument about whether this team should be going with youngsters that have potential over experienced vets, but that's not what these guys appear to be doing. I agree that we should be letting the vets go and seeing what we have in young players cause I am treating this season as a throw away, but this regime sees it differently. To be honest i dont care about any WR on this team. Until we get a QB none of it matters. But the McDermott preaching can now stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Every year there is a UDFA we cut that people get upset about. And you never hear about them again. I don't personally agree with the move but all we see is Reilly catching the ball. There's a lot more we don't see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 . I don't for a minute think the WRs on the roster at 4:00 today will be the ones on the field a week from Sunday ...so does that steepen the learning curve/rhythm of your QB's or is it a non-issue?......must be SOME talent in the WR corp.....

HappyDays Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 You think picking through the NFL waiver wire trash heap will bring any better players? I don't. We watch one team. Other teams have their own Brandon Reilly that fans thought would make the team and they'll be available to us tomorrow. Do you honestly believe Brandon Reilly is the #1 player on the entire waiver wire out of 1000+ guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown is good on special teams. And if Streater is healthy he'll stay. Holmes could go; that would help get a compensation pick and give room for another speed type guy. They also are likely keeping WRs that can block given reliance in the run game. I'd say one or two new guys at the position after today is done. And they'll have to catch up quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they'll have to catch up quick ...fair assessment......have never been impressed with Crossman, but I do like balanced ST'ers who can also play their natural positions....hated the Bobby April era...he had too much say in the final 53 and had too many one dimensional guys on ST......when injuries happened, they usually sucked at their natural position and Jauron went shopping at Walmart............

rpmfla Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 It is the same every year. There is a young guy that surprises and plays great, and the coach/GM cuts him only to keep "experience". Reilly looked like a keeper to me in the same way Hogan did in the past. The past coaches/GM never seemed to have much faith in Hogan either. One guy runs a 4.3...another a 4.4...who cares when the 4.4 guy seems to have a knack for getting open and actually catches the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Murica Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Zay, Matthews, Holmes, Brown, Streater, Tate? I like two WRs in that group and one of them didn't even play for us yet. Smh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumbalaya Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Reilly can catch the ball. Holmes can't. Okay if you are a guard not okay if you are a WR. Keep Reilly dump Holmes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoRic Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Reilly will get his chance somewhere, hopefully with the Bills. The only thing that would really get me steamed is if he ends up with the Patriots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Dumb move there are others who should have been waived before Reilly. Stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#34fan Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Is Andre Holmes still on the roster? -If so, why? The list of cuts reveals a lot about the direction of the team, IMO... McDermott is proving more and more that he's another Daddy's boy (coaches son) with set Ideas on how things should work. He had some success in the past and now he thinks he knows it all.... Remind you of anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#34fan Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 A kid like Reilly makes any young QB better... He has a knack for getting open, and catches extremely well away from his body... If the pats or fish pick him up, it'll be embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
