I want to score points,  not punt...

 Reminds me of the Bills vs Niners game many years ago with no punts..

Kind of upset I missed all the religious and political stuff the Mods apparently scrubbed from this thread. Love being at odds with my neighbors in WNY. Oh, well.

 

I guess let's talk about punters, then. My money is on the dual threat guy, Vedvik (sp?). 

 

Also intrigued by the hybrid FB/HB guy. Love me a good west coast-style movement H-Back, if that's in fact what he is. Little help on this one?

Gilliam, the TE/FB from Toledo, had very few catches in his career, but 6 blocked kicks or punts. Listed at 6'1, 255, he sounds intriguing indeed.

I think Antonio Williams will take Yelden’s roster spot. Singletary, Moss, AW, Jones as RB plus DiMarco or Gilliam at FB.

It’s hard to tell. Gilliam looks to be a pretty good blocker from all accounts. Posted a combine video of himself running in the 4.5s but it is hard to say how accurate that is. I think out of our UDFA, Gilliam, Adams, and Williams seem most intriguing. Unless of course we decide to sign Turk.

One mock draft had the Bills taking him in the 7th round.  Training camp invite that is if they have one this year.

I think it’s clear the Bills feel they can get better, younger, and cheaper at a couple positions. I expect Gilliam to take Dimarcos spot, Bass to take Hauschka, Epenesa to take Murphy, and maybe Antonio Williams taking Yeldons 

[Giuseppe Tognarelli]

Yeldon is still young, a 2nd round draft pick in 2015. People are so quick to think new is better...

Of whom are we supposed to be reminded?

Yeldon hasn’t shown ability to break tackles, doesn’t play ST and couldn’t get on the field last year unless Singletary was hurt which i why i think he can and will be easily replaced regardless of where he was drafted. He just hasn’t proven anything with Jax or Buffalo to not have his roster spot challenged.

Unless the offseason get shortened, otherwise I agree

His left arm is busy...

For 2021.

This season, with abbreviated practices (however they play out) continuity will be a distinct advantage in the NFL.

I'll be keeping an eye on Trey Adams. If healthy, he could stick. I suppose Reggie Gilliam has a shot too.

For Gilliam - 1.4 mil cap savings by cutting dimarco - keeping Gilliam would cost 600k so a savings of 800K.  Thats not enough to justify a roster move.  Its competition at its finest.  

 

Gilliam blocked 4 kicks at toledo, and is a high character type of player.  I don't see anything dimarco has done to guarantee anything.  No huge blocks, nothing major in the RZ, no big plays on offense and nothing super notable on special teams.

Hopefully Gilliam shows something and makes the practice squad. I think DiMarco plays out his contract honestly.

None of these UDFA's are going to make the final cut.

 

But it's good to talk about them like they will. ?

Glad Wallace and numerous other UDFA didnt think this way.
