Bleeding Bills Blue Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 38 minutes ago, Bills2ref said: Side note, but you would think by now a center would have came along who can long snap and regular snap. Would be nice if teams did not have to use a roster spot on that position. The issue isn't whether they can do it. The long snapper has to spend a lot of time on the special teams field with the kicker and punter (hence punters traditionally holding for field goals). You wouldn't be able to get the necessary practice time and instruction if your center were constantly snapping to the kicker and punter. 17 minutes ago, jkeerie said: You may be right about the Special Teams. I found it interesting this preseason that the Bills have been experimenting with players on STs more than usual. I really think they are realizing they have players that they'd like to keep, but who haven't played STs in the past. Of course, that may be why we stunk on STs in Detroit. If he's unlikely to be active on game days (no ones going to have 5 running backs active out of 45 players), I'm not sure how important special teams is. May be more important should dimarco get hurt to have a special teams running back there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You all could be right about Yeldon over Murphy, and it wouldn't surprise me in the least. For Vosean vs. Lacey, part of it is STs, but I just can't get away from how good Lacey has looked with the 2's this preseason. Munnerlyn lost out to Pitts in my projection based upon a numbers game. You've got your top 3 boundary corner spots locked up with White/Wallace/K. Johnson, as well as your top 2 slot corner spots with T. Johnson/S. Neal. If you keep a 6th, you probably want it to be a boundary guy, since you have no backup boundary corner if one of your starters goes down. On the contrary, if either Taron or Neal go down, K. Johnson, L. Pitts, and (in an emergency) M. Hyde can all play the slot, so you've got some contingency there. The J.J./Marlowe projection is purely my reading the tea leaves based upon playing time and PS eligibility. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPS Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Similar disagreements as others, because I think the decisions will be based on the likelihood of losing a player if cut. For example, I'd take Yeldon over Murphy because i don't think Murphy would NOT get picked on another 53, but Yeldon would. I'd pick J. Johnson over Marlowe, even though I think Marlowe is more valuable today, JJ has much more upside. I think either one of those players will get scooped up, but I would not want to lose the one with more upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had similar thoughts to the poster you were replying to. I think you have swayed me on Munnerlyn vs. Pitts, but I am still on the JJ train. I was leaning Marlowe for a while until that forced fumble and recovery play by JJ last week. I guess my general reasoning is that if we are going with solid vets at the top 3 safety spots, then let's roll with the rookie that has made some nice plays for the last spot. I do like Marlowe though and won't be upset if he makes it. Just hope we can get JJ to PS in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Captain Munnerlyn is def making the roster. So is Neal as a S. Marlowe probably cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I think we need Yeldon with 2 older RBs, and a rookie. If we keep him he'll come in handy as a receiving back down the road as well. Good player I hope they keep him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 in the What have you done for me lately world ..... Yeldon in the pass game is better than Yeldon in the run game. Is a RB who can't run well really worthy? I mean look how many want to trade Shady because his #'s are down rushing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The above were my thoughts also on where you may be wrong. I think Beane likes his draft picks to make the team year 1 before cutting if possible. Yeldon is a better back than Murphy. If they want ST from back, then Perry is the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll come back and make an update after tonight's game, but for now, here's my take... QB (2) - J. Allen, M. Barkley RB (4) - L. McCoy, F. Gore, D. Singletary, M. Murphy FB (1) - P. DiMarco TE (3) - D. Knox, T. Sweeney, L. Smith WR (7) - J. Brown, C. Beasley, Z. Jones, R. Foster, A. Roberts, I. McKenzie, D. Williams OL (9) - D. Dawkins, Q. Spain, M. Morse, C. Ford, T. Nsekhe, J.

Oliver, J. Phillips, H. Phillips LB (6) - M. Milano, T. Edmunds, L. Alexander, C. Thompson, J. Stanford, D. Lacey CB (6) - T. White, L. Wallace, T. Johnson, K. Johnson, S. Neal, L. Pitts S (4) - M.

I'm not big on Ander Roberts he has been in the league for almost 10 years and hasn't produced much as a reciever, Return Man Cool yes that is cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I just can't see Jaquan Johnson clearing waivers. He has played REALLY well this preseason and offseason, and I'm not sure they want to risk him. While Vosean Joseph hasn't shown much, I'd still feel nervous waiving him, as well. I'd rather see those two kept at the expense of Dean Marlow and Deon Lacy, respectiely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HavUHerdThaHoard Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 give me ..Jack Fox (Chiefs) if he loses out to the Kansas City Colquitt over Bojorquez...id take KC Colquitt as well ... Jaquan Johnson over Marlowe,Vosean Joseph over Pitts and Yeldon over Murphy...tight call with Wade ...game 4 decides it between Yeldon and Wade ...best guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice if teams did not have to use a roster spot on that position. Yes and also I would think that there would be at least a handful of guys who could place kick and punt. You'd have a job for as long as you wanted. I agree the punter may not be on the roster. Only disagreements: Yeldon over Murphy Munnerlyn over Pitts Not keeping 7 WRs Williams doesn't make it they will keep a 7th LB for ST (V. Joseph), close call on Lacy vs. M. Alexander J. Johnson over Marlowe - Marlowe hit his ceiling, Johnson wins on potential (and pretty much same player) whoever is 4th S is inactive on Sunday since Neal can play S Edited August 29, 2019 by jwhit34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
