Pete Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Marcus Murphy and Ray Ray will make team IMO. So will Croom. Right now I am guessing KB, Kerley, Holmes, Ray Ray, Coleman at WR with Malachi and Riley to practice squad. It will be interesting if we keep 4 TE with Logan Thomas too. 9 position slots to WR/TE seems about right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Who Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Random observations: TE position is really up in the air. Are Mike Love or Ike Boettger anywhere close to blue? Still have Ray-Ray in the red? I think if he continues to exhibit chemistry with Allen, they will find a way to keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray-Ray was the closest non-Blue to being in Blue. However, hearing McDermott talk it appears they still want to see more from him in practice. McD has referenced that he "has a bit of gamer in him" and showed up best at the red and blue scrimmage and the first game, which suggests they are looking for a bit more consistency before they consider him a very likely roster guy. He is close to the blue and gave me longest pause for thought. Both Love and Boettger have real shots for me at this point but both are on that bubble competing for those last 4 or 5 spots on the roster. They may even in an odd way be competing against each other. Do you carry the 9th DL or the 9th OL? These are the sorts of questions that I think the Bills will be having right up to cutdown day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YattaOkasan Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I was most surprised at the number of RBs you put as probable and you dont think theres a punting competition. Good work as always. Can you summarize the number of spots not taken in blue and black with the remaining reds fighting for them? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. 44 spots in either blue or black at this stage with 9 very much open to fight for. Other than QB I don't see any unit as a done deal though OL and RB are getting closer. I think because both play teams it is possible Murphy and Cadet both make the cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 A few people have mentioned that Davis looks horrible in camp. If this is indeed true, who is the next best option to play outside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis didn't have the greatest debut in pre season either. That spot is a legit worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may well end up on the 53.... but that isn't because of his good play - he was poor on Thursday - it is because of lack of alternatives. If he was poor Pitts was whatever 3 grades worse than poor is. I think what they might do with Wallace is put him on the 53 so teams fill up their practice squads then cut him a couple of days later to add a vet cut from elsewhere and hope that way they have less competition to bring him back for the PS.

Yeah, he clearly outplayed Pitts. Taron Johnson had a horrible missed tackle on a DJ Moore reception. Wallace missed too, but not nearly as badly. Pretty ugly. Johnson look like he may have been quite a reach at 4. He was project at 6. We’ll see. Edited August 13, 2018 by Sky Diver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was atrocious on the field last year. Don't look back---look forward. That's why Logan Thomas and Peterman are going to make the team. Please don't bang your head. You don't want to concuss yourself and place yourself on the shelf due to the head damage protocol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said that all post-season. Logan has been overtaken by Croom and Khari Lee offers something different as a blocking TE. I still don't think he makes it and even if he does, he shouldn't. I think Washington probably does.... but again because of others deficiencies rather than because he has done anything noteworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the obligatory shot of Niagara Falls and the Anchor Bar, without O’Leary there’s nothing for the national media to fill a three hour broadcast!

I have moved O'Leary from lock to essentially the bubble. I am not sure they are competing against the same guys. I think it is one of Croom or Logan and one of Lee or O'Leary. Very possible neither make it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be in jeopardy. Very often it isn't what you show but what your competitors show. Security isn't the nature of the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
