Ray has upside to defend the run and rush the passer but accelerating his attack is essential to his growth. From delayed releases out of his stance, slow reads and lack of urgency deploying pass rush counters, Ray is often late. With that said, the foundation of traits is present for him to develop into at least a value sub package defender at the next level. Round Grade - Mid/Late Day Three Seems like very draft thing about his says: Developing Pass Rusher, Raw but Intriguing upside. He's got potential. We've had great luck with players from Boston College! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 5 hours ago, Royale with Cheese said: It's probably to replace Zay on Special Teams. Did Zay play ST? To my understanding, he took a few snaps in practice recently, which was new. Foster, Duke, and Roberts all play teams. So if we're now expecting to see Duke and Foster take more starting snaps on offense, we do need to backfill teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dous21 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 why the hell did we let Shady go. Mccoy running through the gaping holes this oline is creating for Gore and we probably are 5-0 and have a top 10 offense this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, he got injured. For what it's worth, Shady has been hurt on and off for KC. I'm not worried about RB. Special Teams, though, can stand some improvement, especially since we no longer have that many "extra" WRs to play on them. Perry should be a welcome addition if the rumor is true.

GreggTX Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Can't complain. Perry is an excellent ST player and we can use the help there. I don't know anything about Ray Wyatt. A diamond in the rough, let's hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiderweb Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 5 hours ago, whatdrought said: Ray was a late round edge rusher I was interested in in the draft, so thats nice. Don't care too much about Perry... I like how Yeldon has done in spots so far (minus the fumble) so i'm fine not adding functional depth- as long as singletary is coming back soon. Still need another RB, and Yeldon needs to go. Weak runnner, questionable ball security, no toughness at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Man Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 5 hours ago, MR8 said: This is what I was thinking too. They've been rolling with just 2 guys assuming Singletary would come back into the fold. If they're adding Perry now, it may be that Singletary just isn't progressing well and they want to shut him down for a few weeks so he doesn't re-injure himself and be out for the year. Perry is a running back in name only. He's barely had a run on offense in his career. He's purely a special teams player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really a question for a professional scout to be asking, isn't it? There must be a couple dozen WR, RBs and OLmen on PS around the league. I personally think we are thin at these spots and tend to believe there is probably (say) an RB out there on someone's PS who has more as an RB than Yeldon or Perry. But it's not my job to find 'em. OTOH, given that our ST hasn't exactly been exemplary and that we're gonna have some key ST players spending more time with the starting O and D now, if that's what our FO feel is the biggest need so be it. But it's very likely a judgement of what's more important, not a "best player available" thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry is a vet who's very good on ST, which is a weak spot. Whoever gets picked up at WR will be inactive.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Per league rules, six weeks must pass before a player that is released in an injury settlement is eligible to re-sign with the same club. Perry could provide another veteran presence to the Bills coverage units on special teams. Buffalo currently ranks strong in kickoff coverage (5th), but needs to improve in punt coverage where they rank 30th in the league. https://t.co/RtdkjVsI1j?amp=1 In case this wasn’t mentioned 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
