Buffalo716 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) Is Division 2 Fullback Zach Olstad... He is young, fast, cheap and a hard worker The ONLY Bills tryout attendee out of around 30 to get a contract. He could bring some speed, toughness and athleticism to the FB spot A versatile FB can actually be huge for our running and even passing offense if He can keep a defense honest out of the backfield sometimes https://www.google.com/amp/amp.wkbw.com/2611896372/zach-olstad-bus-mechanic-turned-buffalo-bills-fullback.html Edited June 7, 2018 by Buffalo716 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixxxer Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 He's Richie Incognito playing FB. I see he likes finishing his blocks. We will see in TC if he can make DiMarco expendable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 My sleeper is Marquavius Lewis. 'Cause the name. I love your sleeper if he can unseat Patrick "Featherstone" DiMarco and Tolcrapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this Zach guy is as good or better, take the 3 million Dead Cap hit and move on from DiMarco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's too much being made of it with Foster/Daboll. I'd expect early on that a guy with knowledge of terminology should thrive. We'll see if that carries on once everyone else is caught up sufficiently. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8billsfan Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 A good run blocker who can catch out of the backfield would be nice. I like that he is blue collar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Joe Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 DiMarco has a $3Mil dead cap this year, so unfortunately there is your 2018 FB... Maybe Practice Squad for next year.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but getting a contract on an UDFA rookie OTA deal does 3 year 1.7 million is a cheap deal for NFL standards Edited June 7, 2018 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're stationed near Tuscaloosa (temporarily) and everyone who knows I'm a Bills fan has talked this kid up. He was a freshman when A.J. was a senior. That can't hurt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Costa Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 My prediction is practice squad for Zach this year if he Is as good as you say. DiMarco’s not getting cut this year, cap situation. My dark horse call is Corey Thompson from LSU. UDFA that they brought in as one one their 30 pre draft visits. I envision a big nickel killer ST player this year ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work on the nuances of the position and come out full tilt in 2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
