MJS Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) I think Foster and Proehl will be practice squad guys. I highly doubt they make the 53. Holmes is listed as the #2 WR. I think people are kidding themselves if they think he won't make the 53. I think the 6 who make it will be: Kelvin Benjamin Andre Holmes Rod Streater Jeremy Kerley Corey Coleman Zay Jones Unfortunately adding Coleman I think bumps Reilly off the roster.

CommonCents Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I agree Gunner. I didn’t want to quote your entire post. Holmes is a lock if he is healthy. I think the new kickoff rules will be a mess and a proven gunner has value. Heck, I wish the Bills had a good KR. I think they would have value later in the season when kicking it through the end zone isn’t so simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he makes the PS Foster started off pretty well from what I've read but lately he's been dropping the rock, even in routes vs. air. He has plenty of speed and I guess coaches are pleased with his route running skills but that doesn't mean much if you can't catch the ball.

ThunderGun Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) KB Kerly Zay Coleman Holmes Ray Ray that will be the 6 kept for sure, they invested a 5th in McCloud, he can return the ball, and he hasn’t disappointed in limited opportunities so he’s almost a lock imo.

Freddie's Dead Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 DiMarco is a complete waste of a roster spot. I think you guys are giving Jones and Holmes way too much credit. Coleman's only a 7th rounder two years from now, so he's far from a lock. I hope they give RayRay some time with the ones, but maybe he and Josh are just on the same wavelength. Also hope Reilly gets time with the ones. Not liking the Meat Tenderizer or Lolita lately, but not seeing anyone else stepping up on D-line or at LB. CB and S depth is non-existent. Let's hope somebody steps up on D. AND WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WTF DUCASSE HAS ON THE COACHES OR THE GM? WHY IS THIS GUY STILL HERE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I’d remove RB Jones, a LB (Vallejo, Stanford, Lacey or Humber) and Siran Neal and add WRs Reilly and McCloud and OT Wesley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not correct. There was only one cutdown. 90 to 53. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000816590/article/20172018-national-football-league-important-dates September 2 -- Prior to 4:00 p.m., New York time, clubs must reduce rosters to a maximum of 53 players on the Active/Inactive List. September 2 -- Simultaneously with the cut-down to 53, clubs that have players in the categories of Active/Physically Unable to Perform or Active/Non-Football Injury or Illness must select one of the following options: place player on Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform or Reserve/NonFootball Injury or Illness, whichever is applicable; request waivers; terminate contract; trade contract; or continue to count the player on the Active List.

They really should include gunners and returners in the position listing for the specialists in the 53 to make it clearer because that really is why some players are on the roster.
