With Coleman here now it’s going to be hard for any rookies to make the team at WR, but they are gonna at least give them a good look before cutting. If one performance led to being cut, Peterman would be a grocery bagger right now hoping to be next Kurt Warner story. In no no particular order, WRs most likely will be: KB, Coleman, Zay, Streeter, Holmes, Kerley for the first 6. So everyone else is playing for likely one ST spot at WR and only if they keep 7. And Ray Ray certainly has a leg up on Foster already, not to mention the other guys competing in the mix. They could carry 7, but I doubt it, so hard for rookies to make this team unless they are playing really well IMO. To me, Coleman, Zay, Streater, and Holmes are not stone cold locks to make the 53, though most here at TBD think they are. RayRay is pushing hard as is Reilly. Foster lacks heart, but I may be wrong, maybe he just has to be told, "Hey, you have to lay out for those balls". We'll find out this Friday. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwhit34 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 It may be fun and some may find it witty to demand that a player be cut after a poor preseason game (and yes it was bad), but that's not how teams work their roster. Also as a fan you don't want them to manage their personnel that way. If they find a player they like, they will cut player the 90th player on their chart - I'm sure they have the bottom 10 or so ranked regardless of position. There is no reason to carry less than 90 at this stage. They can limit reps, and that will happen at WR because of the number of players. The other reality is that no one else is cutting players now either so there aren't players available. Remember, the teams/league made the change to get rid of the cutdown day from 90 to 75 during preseason so they really don't want to cut anyone until they have to. This is pretty much a pointless topic. There were plenty of players that played poorly and have virtually no chance of making the roster but that is part of camp. Keeping the players longer also gives the coaches longer to evaluate which players are the most coachable, improve the most and have the most potential or upside which will help them make the calls on the practice squad. And then there's the need to field a team with half a clue in preseason game #4 so none of the starters or substantial contributors (like rotational D-linemen, nickel corners, #3&4 WRs, etc.) have to play and can avoid the risk of injury. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepthefaith Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I'm shocked at how so many here have Zay Jones on the final 53. Other than the fact that the bills spent a big draft choice on him, he hasn't done anything well. Lousy season last year catching 36% of his targets, hurt, wacky off-season incident, still hurt, likely way behind on grasping the new offense due to time missed. If anyone on this team is trade bait it's him. Prop him up best they can over the next few weeks and grab a late pick for him and move on. That to me seems like the most likely scenario. He showed very little last year and it's been downhill for him since. IMO he'll have to look very good in practice and each of the remaining games even to get into contention to stay on this team.

whatdrought Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 One downside of doing all the cuts at once is that it seems to delay consequences and potential for training. Used to be you drop a pass in the preseason game (or give up on the play) and you’d be one of the first cut at the next round or cuts. This would (at least it seems to me, as an outsider) create a link in the minds of other players that if they don’t take it seriously, they’re gone.

whatdrought Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Just now, 26CornerBlitz said: They can cut players anytime they want to before the deadline. Yeah. And it might be wise too, but they’re not required to so it rarely happens. There’s not a whole lot of point in cutting guys when you don’t have to because they are at least bodies on the field. The point I was making was that a bright side of the old rule was that it was a message to the other guys. Maybe made the idea of being cut more real to those guys who made it past the first wave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
