Even though either is acceptable, I prefer “with regard to” over “in regard to”. I think I was taught that way in an English class I took and it stuck. 🤷♂️ Weird how some things stick. My daughter is remote learning and working on learning the compass and out of nowhere I popped out N,E,S,W never eat shredded wheat. I haven’t heard that or said it in 30 years since I was in grade school. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds more from everything that as written was Dobson out preformed him and with the Bills only playing two LB's as much as they do, only a need for 5 total, Milano, Edmunds, Klein, Mr M, and Dobson. (Not going to even try to spell Mr M!) 41 minutes ago, Alphadawg7 said: I do think Sweeney makes the 53 roster and probably at the expense of Lee Smith if I had to make a guess now. While they do love Smith's locker room presence, we have other leaders on this team too now. I just don't think he brings enough to the table on the field and is a penalty risk too often to continue to hold a roster spot on this much improved overall roster. Kind of funny I was saying and thinking that before camp started. But after 5 weeks of PUP for Sweeney, gave up and assumed Smith was on roster and Sweeney to PUP. Now this!

Classy move by the team and allows some young talent a chance. How is that a classy move? True he gets paid, but I'd be willing to bet if DeMarco could still play this year, he'd have rather been cut than placed on IR where now he sits out an entire year. He plays a position that not too many teams even use, so sitting out a full year won't help his career too much. Wouldn't be shocked to see him released with an injury settlement.

TigerJ Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) I wouldn't be shocked if Vosean Joseph is added to the PS, but neither would I be shocked if he isn't. I think mentally he's not sufficiently up to speed to justify a roster spot. Whether or not he has potential to learn, is a judgment the Bills have to make. I think DiMarco to IR may clear the way for Gilliam. He's listed now for a different position, but he can do a lot of the same stuff as DiMarco. I'm not sure what the Bills are doing with Sweeney. Did he have to come off PUP to have any eligibility for the season. I could see the Bills putting him on IR after they reach 53.

Alphadawg7 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 1 hour ago, Warcodered said: I mean that is tough with Sweeney missing so much of camp. I get that, but at the same time, Sweeney isn't a rookie either, he already learned the offense last year. And he's not expected to have a large role from the get go with both Knox and Kroft healthy. So I think at this point, they saw enough upside in him last year and pretty much know there isn't much Smith brings into the fold outside his stewardship anymore. I get he's a good blocker, but he is also been too easily penalized. With this team full of leaders on and off the field now, I think Smith's value is diminished and the edge goes to Sweeney despite him missing a lot of camp. I could be wrong on this of course, definitely not a declaration here. Just my gut thinks Sweeney will make the cut and its most likely at the expense of Lee Smith. Also, seems like there were some rumblings about Croom having a strong camp this year too. So if thats accurate, I would assume his name is in the mix still. Of course, they could also keep 4 TE's as well, although I suspect they go for extra depth at other positions this year rather than keep 4 TE's. But you never know, maybe they feel safer with 4 given Krofts injury history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it doesn’t really matter, but this is a message board. Stranger posts have come up. Especially these days. Not like Giuseppe was wrong. Besides, what else are we supposed to do in a thread that has reached 9 pages for only 4-5 moves made an hour or so ago? Nitpicking is what we Bills fans do best. That and hope for next year.

Seems like he should hang around the PS for one season and then see if he can make the roster outright in training camp next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty98 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Weak link is OLB, maybe CB. If you have a late round pick in the first use it on an OLB not a CB.
