Wayne Arnold Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Why do you have to keep Yates again? I'm guessing the staff thinks Yates is a good mentor for Peterman. Good to have in the room so to speak. Then again, he might still get cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I don't think that this is always a bad strategy for a team with a new coach that still has talented players on both sides of the ball. You just have to follow that up with a few good drafts and strategic adding of the right players in following seasons. Buffalo had epic bad drafts during the Jauron era and overpaid for mediocre free agents like Dockery, Walker and Stroud. That was what resulted in team failure and a complete lack of talent on the team when Jauron left. Hopefully the drafts during the McDermott era add more talent. The bolded is incorrect.........Jauron era Bills actually drafted a lot of pro bowl players.......some All Pros even! The problem was that they emptied the cupboard early in the name of "buy-in" the same way that McDermott is doing........ and then had to draft for need........and used all of their early picks to REPLACE the talent they kicked to the curb. Their main problem on draft day itself wasn't getting good players it was not drafting players at valued, impact positions. It's great to get three 7-10 year starters like Eric Wood, Jairus Byrd and Andy Levitre with consecutive picks........a remarkable feat.........but the problem is that they were two interior lineman and a safety and not only don't those positions decide many games in the NFL but they are hard to justify paying when they reach free agency because they aren't key positions. CB, WR and OT(3D, Zay and Dawkins) are better positions to spend your early picks on.........those are big dollar positions that you don't want to have to fill at the market rate in free agency and if the draft picks at those positions pan out it's easier to justify paying them...........but otherwise, McDermott's first draft was as obvious of a "need" based draft as one could possibly be and drafting for need almost always leaves you MORE needy in the near future.

NoSaint Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I still expect Vlad Ducasse to be cut before week 10, if he's not cut sooner. But ultimately I don't care that much if they keep him as a backup, as long as he's not starting. I do Not expect it if he makes week 1. In fact I'd be floored if he starts the season with us and is cut midyear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main problem was/is the inability to obtain a franchise quarterback, or even a good solid qb. Talent will always come and go...look at the Patriots it's not a genius front office like some think, they can release players, trade players, not resign some because they have no fear of it biting them in the ass because as long as they have Tom Brady they will be competing for the league crown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 As I said, sometimes you try to put those young promising guys on the PS, and keep a vet. If he was on the 53, Reilly would not be dressing game day. The result for the Bills and Reilly are the same if he clears waivers and is put on the PS. It's the risk they are willing to take, as that's where undrafted young promising players tend to end up. Your point is hurt by adding the highlighted nonsense. If Reilly isn't active then why would the WR kept instead of him be dressed? Jones Matthews Holmes Tate Those are your 4 active WR every game...........and Tate is a terrible WR. Taylor was deathly afraid of throwing to Tate after some easy throws thumped off of his hard hands last season........ so basically that's 3 guys left who can run a route and catch a pass. And of those 3, Jones and Matthews are best as slot guys so slot-only Philly Brown would be pointless to activate. Reilly or not they need another wide-out that can track the ball and make plays downfield and Reilly was the closest thing they had to that beyond the first 3 WR.

NoSaint Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I think he stays until Hendersen gets activated then he's gone.

yungmack Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Here are all the cuts Thanks for that. But, sheesh, Vlad lives another day and Reilly's probably packing for NE.

McBeane appears to have a new metric for making the team: If we know you, you're good.stop with the Reilly to NE stuff already. They don't even have enough space to keep their own, better version of Brandon Reilly, Austin Carr. Who knows their offense and spent 4 months with Brady, and outperformed Reilly in preseason. PS to Bills .... sign Austin Carr Edited September 2, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
