If so I'd put them on the PS. I love the security we get with Andre Robert's as our return guy and I just would like to keep that. I also like the versatility Marlowe, Neal and Poyer bring as OLB depth in an emergency situation. I think our WRs will get situation roles where you'll see Hodgins get some time in the slot to split with Beasley and in red zone situations. I could see the same with Gabe Davis spelling Brown down in the redzone... I think Bass makes it and Vedvik beats out Corey B. Gives us a backup kicker and backup KOS. Vedvik has a huge leg and he can concentrate on punting. I'm super pumped. The roster Beane and McDermott put together is so stacked and everything is accounted for and backed up. Go Bills. Edit: It was originally a 55 man projection. Thanks to Logic for clarifying the details with that. "There isn't a 55. It's still a 53. The new rules state that you can bring two people up from your practice squad on a game week, but at the conclusion of that game, they must be released (and thus, subject to waivers), and then can be placed back on the practice squad. If you choose to keep the two new players on your active roster, you must release two other players. At the conclusion of each game week, there must still be 53 players on the roster." Credit to a couple people to convinced me to keep Daryl Johnson as well. And after some thinking and good points in this thread, I decided to PS Robert Foster. Credit to RichNoggin for convincing me to keep Corey Thompson. Edited May 3, 2020 by akcash 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bermuda Triangle Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I think that Johnson makes the 55. If he doesn't, he'll be on someone else's 55. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireChans Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Jones will make the team over Foster. Davis will be a Gunner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotcha... thanks for clarifying that... I knew you brought two PS players up but I didn't know you had to release them each week subject to Waivers... I'm going to edit my thread to 53 players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Noggin Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I really think Corey Thompson (LB) makes the team. He has started games, exhibits the traits McDermott covets (mobility), and is still cheap. People overlook this guy all the time (understandably, but he might surprise people). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so I'd put them on the PS. I'm not a big fan of Daryl Williams. I am a fan of Adams. Imo I think our best play is to put Ford at RG and let Nsekhe start at RT with Adams as backup RT. I like Bates too because if we have a run on tackles with injuries and Adams is inactive he can get us out of a game at tackle. I think Duke deserves a roster spot. I could see him getting picked up by another team. I kept Foster because of his deep threat ability and he's a key gunner on punt team. I love the security we get with Andre Robert's as our return guy and I just would like to keep that. I have 7 WRs not including Roberts so I'm just calling him a return guy bc 8 wide receivers sounds a little crazy. I like Taiwan Jones but I like Foster better. I'm good with putting Daryl Johnston on the PS because I think Jefferson and Oliver can play DE in a pinch. Same with Dane Jackson. I think worse case if we had a run on CBs you could put Neal at corner to get you out of a game. I also like the versatility Marlowe, Neal and Poyer bring as OLB depth in an emergency situation. I think our WRs will get situation roles where you'll see Hodgins get some time in the slot to split with Beasley and in red zone situations.

I just like Murphy and want to see him finish his contract with us. I think it's a good look with our other free agents too. I definitely understand the other side of the coin on that one tho.

I'll go out on a limb and say the Bills will cut Murphy before they cut Darryl Johnson...The biggest jump is between year one and year two normally...And Johnson had a pretty good year as a contributing Rookie...His ceiling is higher than Murphy at this point...Of course I'm assuming he's going to get a little bigger and stronger this off season...I know he's getting great developmental coaching because that's what McD does... IMHO...And certainly the Bills have some tough decisions to make on the D-Line...Johnson is pretty safe unless he shows up fat and bombs during preseason...And I don't see a chance in hell he does not get picked up if the Bills waive him...? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Remove Barkley, Davis and Adams and put in Daryl Johnson, Corey Thompson and Daryl Williams. Davis and Adams can easily be placed on the PS and Barkley can be called back at any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
