Wizard Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 YoloinOhio did an excellent job pointing out the depleting linebacker corps after today's game. Hopefully all of our starters are healthy for week #2. If the Bills needed two linebackers to "circle the wagons" for a few weeks and maybe strengthen the linebacker group, who would you want to sign to pair up with Andre Smith from the Practice Squad? 1. Nigel Bradham 2. Darron Lee 3. Alec Ogletree 4. Another free agent or a low round pick trade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdrought Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Did we have Bradham in for a visit at some point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I think it’s a long shot that the Bills will have both starting LB’s. As we’ve saw with Motor last year, hamstring injuries are usually 3-4 week injuries. From an injury standpoint, the team has been widely cautious about rushing players on the field too early. I get the feeling they might have Edmunds sit out this week, but then again who knows 6 minutes ago, whatdrought said: Did we have Bradham in for a visit at some point? Yes and Lee. I think these injury scenarios is exactly why these visits were scheduled. LB was not a tremendously deep position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Any of them or even all of them with the strange PS rules. A lot of roster flexibility this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Someday Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 It would have to be someone that could step in and play right away. I'd think Corey Thompson might be getting a call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd think Corey Thompson might be getting a call. I think it will be Thompson and another Lb that can cover. Pro a sly not Bradham at this stage of his career. Lee might not be smart enough to pick up the playbook and learn it in a short time. Ogletree makes the most sense, considering the list, but I think it’ll be a no name guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Todd Davis is probably the best player out there at the linebacker position. He makes sense if those guys are going to out long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwai San Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 No on Badassman....too much mileage. Lorax might be back sooner than he thought!! Lee? Interesting.....maybe maybe. As would be Ogletree but again....like Badassman - tooooo much mileage. They gonna be in a pickle for sure as I do not see either of them back next week nor the week after........sux for sure.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Slim pickings. Wow did they overpay for Klein based on the list of linebackers signed/available in free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Klein is a solid player but he’s not really out there to cover people. Lee is very fast but never really planned out. No matter what I hope we see at least 1 guy brought on. I would rather have to many options, then not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a sure tackler and excels and stopping the run, and is the best FA LB still out there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I'm not sure why no one has mentioned Corey Thompson yet. He knows the system, knows our personnel, and I feel he has shown reasonably well in previous stints filling in for injured players. I would say it was a bit of a surprise that he was cut in favor of Dodson and Phillips. Since Dodson and Phillips are both now hurt as well, I'd roll with Thompson.

mannc Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Isn’t Lee suspended for three or four games in the event someone signs him? If so, that would rule him out... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) Probably depends on the severity. If it's long-term then i'de like a veteran like Bradham. They'll probably go with someone that's been in the system recently. I feel bad for Milano. Hopefully it's not serious. He was set to sign a major contract this offseason somewhere.

CSBill Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) I suspect one of our back-up safeties will move up. Our LBs do a lot of coverage, so bring Marlow or J Johnson (or Siran Neal?), the bigger of the crew up to play a more athletic hybrid role. It would be hard to bring an outsider in at this point. If its a real Linebacker move, I think they bring Allen up from the PS. Edited September 14, 2020 by CSBill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
