Edmunds, L Alexander, Milano locks..after that Thompson, Stanford, Lacey and assuming PS doesnt count, add  Joseph to the practice squad

 

While I think that Stanford/Lacey have outplayed Joseph, I dont see them cutting him (a 5th rd pick) to try and stash him on the PS, his upside is too high

I pretty much agree. Might be a toss up between Joseph & Lacey..

He was 5th rd I think but I agree, he will make it because of the draft position over a guy who was signed off the waiver wire or street last year.

Wow this is going to be an interesting one. Lacey has come a really long way in a year, Alexander they like for specials, Stanford I've been thinking will make it to be safe at the Mike and Joseph has the upside. I thought they'd keep 7 but now 2 of those 4 have to go. I think Maurice Alexander is out but interested to see who the other is

Maurice Alexander is a LB - does he get cut or go in a special “ST” category? 

 

 

Thompson's versatility might push the Morax or even Stanford off the roster.    Lacy been playing with his dome on fire in the games.

Last time I saw Mike Tice, he was pounding drinks at Sideline Sports bar the night before the Bills Raiders game in 2017. Looked like hell. Guess the O line coach didn't need to be overly on his game that day. Knew Carr was going to get buried. 

Everyone has a podcast these days

He probably had a bad day at the races.  The guy's a bigger horse racing degenerate than I am.

This might be the most randomly irrelevant post of the day,

Not 7 as some predict. 

 

 

 

If you read through all the postings here, you'll find one in favor of keeping 7 LB's, another for 9 Def lineman, another for 6 to 7 WR, another recommending 10 O-lineman, one for 5 TE, and another for 5 RB

 

Some posters won't be very happy next week!

Yea the reality is the normal balance is: 

 

2 QB

4 RB (including a FB)

6 WR

3 TE

9 OL

- - - - -

8 DL

6 LB

10 DB

- - - - -

3 ST

 

That gets you to 51. Which leaves you 2 wildcards. Now does a team sometimes go light at a position to allow themselves to keep an extra man somewhere else? Yep. But they are not going to deviate by more than a spot or two.

Think those 4 are all but in. Mo Alexander I think has a leg up because he plays teams. So then it comes down to Lacey, Stanford and Joseph for one spot. 

To me, Stanford will be gone. While he has a good understanding of his role in the game, he isn't near as athletic as Lacey or Joseph. Lacey should stick, as he plays teams as well. But trying to stash Joseph on the PS could be a bad move IMO. We don't even need to look around the entire league, just our own division, to see there could be a suitor for him immediately. Tough call, but a relished decision looming, as any year prior to last, any of these guys could have started for this squad. Losing good players=getting better

Ras Ray hasn't outperformed Mckenzie, or even Duke

I do think there will be 9 DL unless they decide to cut Love or Harrison the DT.  Doubt they can go light on the O-line either with Morse still being out.  Can see them adding one more RB too in Perry for ST play. Or they shock everyone and cut DeMarco (which would make many here happy)  Adding the DL and RB with your numbers would get them to 53.

DiMarco is making the roster.

I would love to see them keep Duke. The next 2 games will tell alot. I do agree with McKenzie over RayRay tho. McKenzie is the better playmaker.

Not only was Joseph a draft pick, but his upside is too good to ignore. It is only the preseason, and now the Bills will have a better idea of how to progress with his development. Right now he would be an excellent ST's demon.

I would, too. But, I think there is a very slim chance they keep seven WRs.
