TigerJ Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 It may interest some that new Bill Albert Havilli is thought to also have potential at fullback. NFL Draft Scout lists his primary position as fullback and only secondarily as DE/DL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv Levy Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Nice signing. What happens to DiMarco? On a side note, its amazing that the so called "Flagship" station of the Bills, WGR, does not have this info on their website!! I have to come to "The Stadium Wall" to get that information. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not a replacement for DiMarco. Bills only have one since the other kid went down and put on IR. Gotta have another for preseason and camp reps regardless. and i think Daboll might like two players who can lead block at the ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is icing on the maraschino cherry. I love Full backs and i miss Sam Gash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But having someone clearing that lane / gap always makes me smile. am old school admittedly. Love the running game. Kyle is my Hero : ) he should trot the ball into the endzone unscathed, unfettered and looking fantastic. We have Kyle. ☺️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills757 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) Here are some Sam Rogers highlights. Good all-around player. Blocks, runs, catches passes and even throws passes...haha. By the was, you'll see Wyatt Teller (#57) and Cam Phillips (#5) in these highlights as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SlhGeR4zkk&t=49s&frags=pl%2Cwn Edited August 16, 2018 by Bills757 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team signed Rogers to take over the backup fullback role after Zach Olstad was waived/injured because of an ankle injury. He was injured Monday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth a listen to get in the mind of one of the best minds on offfensive football . Highly suggest a listen. Find it in podcasts.

Kmart128 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Anytime a FB gets drafted he has to have some skill. Surprised Rams gave up on him so soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't block the sun, even with a sombrero. I drop keys even when they are in the ignition, and I don't "run" so much as I "lean forward". I like it if for no other reason than pure envy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Can he take an ill placed pass and turn it into a gift-wrapped interception opportunity though? If not there would be a big dropoff should DiMarco be out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Why not a replacement for DiMarco? The only play I remember him making is Pickerman's first INT in LA bouncing off his hands. Complete waste of a roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catchable but a poorly-placed low-reward play in a high traffic area. Nate literally does what McD HOPES the opposing offense does..........try to execute long drives with a high volume of low yield passing plays..........and then the McDefense can jump on an ill placed or poorly timed throw.

Billzgobowlin Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Sam Rogers is the FB version of Fred Jackson. He will grind and grind and doesn't give up on plays. People count him out but he tries the hardest. He can run a little and really does a little of everything. 10 hours ago, BADOLBILZ said: The pass to DiMarco was not well placed.

Rad Likes The Bills Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Played against him in high school used to work out with him everyday. This guy was the starting qb for his team and A LOAD to tackle. Had a few offers to play D1AA, but he chose to walk on at VT. Earned his scholarship, and grinded his way to getting drafted . I'm hype for Sam because he's going to find a way to stick, he is better than Dimarco. If they give him the chance he is gonna take his job 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main problem was Peterman and DiMarco being on the field at all..........should never have happened. That late in the season it was pretty clear that DiMarco wasn't working out in the Dennison offense. Maybe DiMarco will show something more this year but I have my doubts that Daboll will really want a fullback who can't catch a football thrown 5 yards in the air........that volleyball job for Peterman's first career pic wasn't DiMarco's only stone hands exhibition of the season.
