Not much of a receiving back?  He excel's at that

 

He is a decent receiving back. But he is a rubbish runner.

nope Smith not going anywhere, and never was. Easily best blocking TE on the team

 

One of the best in the league.

Yeah, it's unbelievable the depth we keep at o-line for players who will never play all season, while going into each week praying about the cornerback position. I do not get it.

When all is said and done there will be 6 cornerbacks on the roster, and probably two on the practice squad.  That is plenty.  The Bills Cb depth is just fine.

I read they'll be resigned tomorrow after Feliciano and DiMarco hit IR

Ah, gotcha. That makes sense.

 

EDIT: Oh and Deane Marlowe too. Ok, that answers that.

That makes sense. We need our returner and they love Marlowe.   Boehm not making the team was my biggest surprise. I hear Winters was a penalty machine for the Jets...

Lee Smith is an excellent blocker. That is his job. 

 

And special teams matter. How can someone who has been in a division with New England for the last 20 years not realise that?

Yes it was Special Teams holding us back in those games against New England, not the fact that we can’t score or stop New England when we had too. 

Queue up the Leodis McKelvin take.

Didn't the Pats win by a TD last year in a game with a blocked punt returned for a TD?

No what held us back was we were less talented. But the Patriots in their run won a game or two every year on special teams. They are consistently excellent at it and keep 7 or 8 guys every year for teams.

Surprised by Dean Marlowe and Andre Roberts. Does that make McKenzie our returner?

Believe Sal sourced they'd both be signed back tomorrow - wait and see, but doubt we see anyone but Roberts fielding kicks. 

 

As for Marlowe, they are very high on Johnson and his growth with added ST utility. Likely see Marlowe back for veteran understanding and depth behind Hyde/Poyer.

The receiver room is interesting.  Three starters and two rookies.

 

McKenzie isn't a very good receiver, nor is Roberts. 

 

Two rookies.   Says something about what Davis showed.  And Hodgins, too I suppose.  It looks like they didn't think Hodgins would be around for the PS.

I haven't really been paying close attention to camp but kind of surprised TJ Yeldon is still on this team.

 

Also kind of surprised Jake Fromm made the team.

 

Maybe it's obvious from the above that I didn't pay any attention to camp.

 

Go Biils!  Let's roll!

So another one of these names, in addition to Feliciano, needs to go on IR-R to make room for Marlowe and Roberts. Any guesses? Taiwan Jones?

 

He has been injured.  Whoever it is has to be on offense.  It's way tilted that way right now.

Would not surprise me - also makes TJ Yeldon a need until Taiwan is healthy again.

 

Adds up to me.

Good thinking Joe. That makes a LOT of sense.

So because they're worried that both will get picked up if they cut them, they cut the better of the two to see if he makes it, while keeping the worse one on the actual 53 just in case?

What’s the benefit to cutting them today and bringing them back tomorrow? Does it have to do with Mongo or someone else going to IR?

Players going to IR would be lost for the season if placed there before making the initial 53.  Once they make the initial 53 they can be placed on IR with the option to return during the season.  Roberts and Marlowe are vested vets. They aren’t subject to the waiver wire.  So cut them today and have the IR guys on the roster.  Bring them back tomorrow after players moved to IR.

Heavy at OL and short at CB means I’m waiting for a Beane move either soon or after Feliciano comes back. Everything else seems fine other than the surprise of Del’Shawn...

I keep hearing they're 'short at CB.' Is five corners not fairly common around the league?
