Dadonkadonk Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Just now, John from Riverside said: Im a bit higher on Milano then you.....but none of this really seems out of place He definitely made some nice plays last year. Reminds me ok Kiko. I think ultimately he will be too small to play the position. He is only 6-0 and 221. That is a SS not an OLB. But instincts and speed can turn into great plays of which he delivered last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But look at McD and what he brings from the Panther's.....they use guys that can move...he actually fits. And if Kiko does get hit with the injury bug I think his career is much better. I actually think the drafting of Edmunds allows them to do more things with Milano......he is very good going after the QB as well. Lorax? Im wondering if he would not just be a better DE at this poing giving us more pass rush. It is pretty much a given that if he sticks with the team this is probably his last year.

If Lorax makes the team I agree. I would let him pass rush 15-20 snaps a game and play STs. I'm really hoping Lawson steps up especially in the pass rush.

There’s a LONG way to go with the WR. I believe that Benjamin is the only lock. I pretty much agree with all of Joe's projections except for WR. Not that I disagree with it, I just think, like you say.....Benjamin is the only lock. That's the one role outside of QB I'm going to pay attention to the most because it's a total crapshoot to me.

SoCal Deek Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 These lists always elicit my same response....WHO? Every year there are so many players that I’ve literally never heard of. It just shows how few roster spots are actually in play each season, and this would be a year with seemingly high turnover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what happens when you backload a players contract with guaranteed money and that 2016 restructure should never have been done. He can't be cut and even a trade won't help the Dead money. Bills are paying now for having him on the cheap for the 1st 2 years of his contract.

GreggTX Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I think Joe B did a good job. I would just add 1 more thought. There are bound to be a handful of surprise cuts from other teams and I could well see a late addition to the starting lineup giving us his last good year or 2 because we are so weak on the OL and at WR. There's bound to be at least 1 guy who will accept a pay cut after his release that can upgrade a spot or 2. Someone like Nick Barnett, perhaps?

26CornerBlitz Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 Joe B: Buffalo Bills 2018 Pre-preseason 53-man roster projection (WKBW) - It was the perfect storm for the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday morning -- no pun intended. Ok, well, maybe now it is after I've thought about it. Either way, the Bills had their first rain-soaked practice of the summer, they weren't in full pads, and it was the day before a preseason game which meant they wanted to be cautious anyway. Outside of A.J. McCarron taking his normal day working with the first-team offense, and new receiver Corey Coleman working in with the third-team offense in his first day on the job, there weren't many things to observe during a practice that ran at half-speed and in the coaching staff's hope that no one got injured. So, with the start of preseason coming up, I figured it's time to bust out a pre-preseason 53-man roster projection. With 11 days of training camp as information, there were plenty of changes from the last time I did this after minicamp in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Murica Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) This seems very realistic. With Bush making plays on the regular, it will be nice to have possible depth behind Hyde and Poyer. I’m not a fan of the 3 QBs but if they’re going to keep their pet Peterman then let it be. It would be nice to carry an extra WR or Safety. Edited August 7, 2018 by Captain Murica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatdrought Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I expect that Levi Wallace is one of those guys who show enough in games to steal a spot away. I don't know that I can see them dumping Neal. It would be hard to justify. If Reilly get's put on the PS the Patriots will come for him within a week. I say keep 3 rbs, keep McCloud as a RB/WR and Keep Reilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay came the Rex summer by which time I think Manuel's shot at succeeding was all but over. That contract is the worst one Whaley gave out. At the time he gave it it had a higher % guaranteed money than any QB in the NFL not on a rookie deal. Think about that for a second. He was paid $9m a year with less risk to him than a franchise Quarterback faces when they sign a new deal. Bonkers. 15 hours ago, Kirby Jackson said: Wow, no Siran Neal?!? I didn’t think that was a possibility. I think he makes it but the camp reports have not been promising. He has a long way to go to be an effective player but I suspect they don't risk opening him up to waivers and try and give him a redshirt year on the 53. 11 hours ago, JerseyBills said: II actually think Holmes can be the off man out, especially if they go with 4 TE. And who takes Holmes special teams role..........? He is on this roster. And finally, bad news on Connor McDermott. I really liked his chances at the start of the year, they have clearly been trying to work with him to become a swing tackle. Being passed by Wesley on the depth chart probably means curtains for him though unless he can really play well in the pre-season games.

CEN-CAL17 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) What does Holmes do on ST's that everyone thinks he contributes so much? Yeah he's on ST's but he's not a stud. He covers kickoffs? Great... Holmes disappears on Sundays. He should be a WR first, Reilly has more potential and can get open. I would just find someone like Marlowe or Bush to fill in Holmes spot on STs. Oh but he's a red zone threat! Really? 3 TDs in the red zone makes you a threat? I bet if, if, Reilly and Holmes both make the squad, Reilly has more receptions, maybe double. Humber over Robinson? Humber is terrible too. Robinson can play multiple spots at LB, Humber can not. 4 TE's, Why? Id rather keep 7 WR's allowing McCloud to play KR/PR. At this point I might take Croom over Thomas.
