smuvtalker Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) Jeez that's a shock to me to see Rankins name in trade rumors...yeah he's definitely had some injury issues but when healthy this guy is a disruptive difference maker on that D Line. I'd argue he's an upgrade over any of the interior lineman we currently have on our roster...not named Ed Oliver Edited September 5, 2020 by smuvtalker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Winters a solid starter for the Jets at some point? We snatched him up pretty quick after the Jets let him go. But the reviews on him in camp have not been sterling to say the least. Anyone know much about Winters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 1 hour ago, ICanSleepWhenI'mDead said: Foster has some good tape from a couple years ago. I could see a coach who watched Foster blow by his DBs 2 years ago offer a very late round pick for him. I suspect coaches tend to remember the WRs who hurt them. Speed kills. Speed kills, and it seems that Daboll's offense is pretty complex and Foster struggles with it. It's possible that put him in a simpler offense he could exploit it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 2 hours ago, Gene1973 said: Because they have to pass waivers? That’s exactly right, and the team trading can “control” where the player goes (outside the division/conference). Let’s face it, Foster just isn’t in the Bills’ long term plans because of who they’ve acquired. I hope they’re able to trade him outside the conference for a conditional pick and he gets a 2nd chance. I don’t know what to make of Croom. Jokes aside, they haven’t kept him around because he’s dating the owner’s daughter. He’s a potential weapon in the passing game but apparently can’t block a toddler.

I can find plays for other TEs that are doing the same thing. He has like 9 penalties last year, while only playing like 50% of snaps. Second most of team. They just nitpicked certain plays.

But no, there aren’t a lot of TEs that do that kind of dirty work, and I’d invite you to show examples if you’ve got them. I have to question what you’d want to see in a blocking TE if what you looked at didn’t show you anything? Also, to say that the film shots are cherry picked is a bit glossy unless you’re going to show the plays where he doesn’t do his job. But like I said: I’d be fine letting him go and playing a 6th OLman instead. All good with me. I just don’t think it’s correct to marginalize how good he is at what he’s asked to do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He runs horrid routes, can't block, hands are suspect, ball security is suspect, he is constantly dealing with injuries and never seems to be open. Lee Smith is a good blocker and Kroft is just barely pushing average if he can stay healthy but Croom just plain sucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
