It's shocking how fast these guys can cut weight when they put a mind to it. It's hard to weigh 300 lbs with the amount of work they do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 He could be valuable on the goal line in multiple TE sets. Instead of bringing in extra linemen he can go in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 He might be one of those guys who struggles with keeping weight on to play tackle. Dropping 15 pds in 3 months is pretty quick if he can slim down to 265 to 270 he might make the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbRiddick Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Worst case scenario is he doesn't make it through camp. Best case is that he ends up being much more adept at this position. If he played TE earlier in his career then he must have some of the fundamentals down. As Rap says, a cool story to watch in camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 This will play very little to no bearing on whether or not the Bills draft a TE in the draft. Fisher is not a lock to make the team and either is Croom. Beane basically increased competition and if he sees the right TE at the right draft selection, he'll still pull the trigger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Not his first time playing tight end. He played there in high school, but even then he was more of a blocking tight end. I imagine he'll play as a blocking TE in two tight end formations. I'm guessing he might have a handful of catches over a season - probably under 10.

Yeah but c'mon, that was THEN. I wish they would bring back the "veteran combine" that they did a few years ago. RB Michael Bush: "4.91? You gotta' be ***** me!"

Beast Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 If he’s just a blocking TE why not sign an extra tackle and make him eligible on some plays? Unless he is actually a bit of a threat catching the ball, I guess I don’t get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was then? You make four years sound like he played in a leather helmet. I don’t consider the agility test times as “track numbers” but I agree that time in the trenches can have an adverse effect. Anyway, my post was a knock on Metcalf more than it was an endorsement of Fisher as some sort of athletic marvel. I did the same when we signed Morse, whose 20 yard shuttle was the same as Metcalf’s.
