billsfan89 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 They should allow 90, given how easily teams could lose players due to covid having some extra bodies would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Landing Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 They should put the 16 lowest bubble players on one end of the field, and line up nine Jugs machines pointed towards them, and fire them all off simultaneously. The seven who don't come away with a ball get cut. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 This is kind of silly on the NFL's part. What do 10 players really mean in the grand scheme of things?? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Landing Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 2 hours ago, The Dean said: Honestly, I'd at least consider going to 90 players on a split squad. More difficult to manage and not ideal under normal circumstances. But these are far from normal circumstances. Splitting the squad gives some new players with real potential to make the team a better shot and provides a bit of protection should someone bring Covid into play. Now I'm not saying I would choose the split squad, but I'd sure as hell consider it. Given how much continuity the Bills have going into this season, I would think that 80 would be the logical choice, perhaps with an emphasis on the thinner positions, like LB. There just aren't going to be as many roster spots to fill this year than there has been for quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems the reasonable guess is with the square footage of some facilities there would be a disparity between teams that could and couldn’t socially distance 90 players. But just a guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK now that makes sense, but at the end of the day how can they really reconcile socially distancing on one hand with playing football where you are in close proximity to other players? It makes no sense to have rules requiring social distance 75% of the time that gets tossed out of the window when they practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I'm fairly certain they know 48 of the final 53 already. They need to make a decision on kicker, whether to keep 2 or 3 QBs, to keep Lee Smith, and the final DB and OL to carry. Maybe a backup LB spot is also up for grabs. After that the team is already set prior to any losses due to injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 The real question is whether to split up the starters and roster makers from the non roster makers so you attempt to isolate the guys who you know will be on your team. That’s probably not ideal for practice but it’d be preferred quarantine wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Assuming 8 cuts (I counted 88 on the official roster), here's my 8: Cam Lewis (with apologies to UB fans) Ray Ray McCloud Del'Shawn Phillips Victor Salako Brandon Walton Jonathon Woodard Bryan Cox Josh Thomas I didn't want to cut a couple of those guys, but that's the way football works. There are tough choices sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
