53rd Roster Spot


Recommended Posts

Whats your view on that 53rd tough cut? What will be the scenario after its all narrowed down?

 

 

This is going to be such a competitive spot on the team. You got guys like Sills and Duke Johnson who if they turn out could mean we keep 7 receivers. The tight end battle and running back battle are also super competitive. I could see us keeping 7 wide outs and 4 running backs.

 

IMO I think Tommy Sweeney makes the team.

 

Say Sills and D. Johnson both earn their way onto the roster. I feel like that 53rd spot is going to be between Jake Fisher, Patrick Dimarco, Jason Croom if they decide to keep 7 receivers, 4 rbs, and 4 tes. Or they could decide to just keep 3 TE's...

 

At least thats my view of it...

 

I guess if I had to make a bold prediction I would guess they would use the tight ends and running backs as full backs when they use a full back.

I keep seeing Fisher’s name as someone who will make the team and I legit have no idea why.

I agree on this. 

I think he was signed as insurance just in case they didn’t get someone they liked in the draft. Now that they drafted two I think fisher is long gone

Seems obvious to me that McD would like to have one very good blocking TE.  Signs Fisher.  Drafts Sweeney.  Brings in Lee Smith.

I get they may want someone who can do that but Fisher hasn’t shown that he can. He’s such a long shot to make the team.

It’s Sweeney’s spot to lose imo.  I don’t see a way Fisher makes it

Really? He played OT in the NFL, he can block.

He couldn’t block as an OT or he’d still be one

I agree he’s a long shot to make the team but we’ve never seen him play before.  He’s in the process of losing 40 lbs and changing positions.  He’s pretty much an unknown underdog at this point imo.

 He can block he just can’t keep OT weight on

Is that why he’s no longer an OT and is switching positions?

 

He blocked well at Oregon, he is just not big enough to be an NFL OT.

I think he has almost no chance.

I'm sticking with the 53rd spot being Daboll's Swiss Army Knife - Isaiah McKenzie

Highly doubt they keep 7 WRs.  And it's Duke Williams btw   

 

Offense likely 3QBs, 4 RBs, 4 TEs with one playing HBack/FB role, 6 WRs and 8 OLs.

 

Last guy on roster is on offense so right there.

In regards to fisher and why so many see him making roster- he is  like having an additional lineman on field when he is there and they can teach him specific things more easily as a goal line specialist than trying to use a normal tackle eligible. I think he makes roster if the Bills plan on going extra lineman on most plays inside 10 and he can high point a ball.

Honestly, I think it is premature to make an educated guess on remaining roster spots. Half way through camp we will have a much cleaner picture. Fun topic for sure, just not relevant at this point imo.

Just cut Dimarco for Gods sake. Problem solved. Can't catch, can't run, his blocking is overrated. Just keep an extra blocking TE.
