I'd have put him on there over the other DT they signed along with him. Not sure I really get this. Do you know what the Bills staff really thought of these guys or what they were looking for in a PS DT? Maybe Smart said something, but just looking at him as a highly religious person - I would doubt it. I would more hazard a guess they were looking for a more stout run stopper on the DL - more along the lines of Slayton who they are bringing in. I heard good things about Smart also, but in the end they can only keep so many and my guess is it was more about the Bills allowing him to leave rather than Smart saying something and causing him to get cut. I think if Vincent Taylor had not been claimed - neither guy makes the PS, but with Taylor getting claimed maybe the Bills decide size was more important. I would just be really hesitant to assume that Smart acted out and it “sealed his fate”. Just does not seem in character. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just have not heard anything, much less good, about that Justin Zimmer kid who they put on the PS, or even a handful of other players they put on the PS, whereas I heard Smart did well in the scrimmage. And there were 17 PS spots so you could add just about anybody. Which led me to believe it was something personal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We will see how long it goes. I imagine that Beane is going to be active with the PS - would not be surprised if once these 2 new guys are up to speed - do they bring in others?

ALF 1,428 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Each week, every NFL teams gets to protect four of their practice squad players from being able to sign contracts with other clubs. Those players must be declared by 4 p.m. on Tuesday. This week, the Bills have chosen to protect cornerbacks Dane Jackson and Cam Lewis, as well as defensive tackle Justin Zimmer and offensive lineman Evan Boehm. https://www.radio.com/wgr550/sports/bills/bills-add-receiver-jake-kumerow-to-the-practice-squad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
