Is useful if Daboll's game plan calls for power running depending on the matchup. Probably has a leg up on any of the RB's or TE's that might replace him in Daboll's offense on special teams. The Bills are probably more likely they keep him than not at this point. Core STer too. Played on all 4 units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen some analysts say Croom has an advantage because he has familiarity with Allen, but we will see Croom’s advantage is Kelly Pegula 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are two guys who may really help Allen in his second year. Now, if we can cut DeMarco too, then we get to keep Sweeney on the roster. Again, giving Allen more weapons. We just don't know which guys will develop chemistry with Josh yet. Use Smith as a TE/H back, if you need that extra blocker in the running game. We used him that way in his last stint in Buffalo. I love some of the player battles on the defensive side of the ball, but they're obviously ahead of the O in Year Three. That's why I'm leaning towards using those last few slots on offense. Now, if you ask me, I'd cut one more guy in the defensive backfield (where we're the most talented, IMO) and add one more offensive prospect. Maybe it's another O line guy, or a pass catcher, but I want to maximize the in-season competitions on offense, where possible. Go Bills! Mine would be Sweeney so long as he shows something in camp and pre-season and then I'd be between Williams and Johnson I think. Side note the Williams fetish seems to have become a fetish for Johnsons......... which is phrase I've heard somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I agree. I think they still need core special teamers. We lost games on teams last year. Giving away one of the few solid teams players we have doesn't strike me as a particularly wise way to start fixing that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can be replaced and no one would notice he was gone... Unless the guy who replaced him catches more then 1 ball and runs more then 3-4 times in a season.

And the fullback's main job is neither to run the ball nor catch the ball. The one thing DiMarco has done reasonably well on offense is pass block.

If he gets cut I think he has a shot of getting picked up by another team, at least as a fringe guy. But yeah if the playing career doesn’t work out and the relationship does, he will have no worries. 39 minutes ago, PirateHookerMD said: Waddle would have trade value before cutting him.

Watching game play is different then stats, players can make a difference without homers just looking at stats Yes, I am familiar with QB pressures. I honestly don't recall Yarbrough doing much of that either during the past two seasons, though admittedly perhaps I wasn't watching him nearly as closely as you. All I know is that Yarbrough was recently practicing with the third stringers behind Love and the top three (Hughes, Murphy, Lawson). So I don't think he's doing a good enough job distinguishing himself from among his competitors for the 4th DE spot (Love, Harold, Johnson). If he's as talented as you suggest, then he needs to hurry up and show it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeSpeed Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 What has DiMarco done on ST that makes everyone think he is irreplaceable? Leadership? I think we have plenty on the team now.
