He was solid depth but easily replaceable IMO

Don’t know about that.  If he was easily replaceable he would have been replaced.  Bills have brought young safeties to camp every year.  He was never beat out.

Yep.  If I recall correctly one was on practice squad at points a couple years ago.  He was a UDFA.  jaquan Johnson hasn’t played in front of him either.  I’m just saying Marlowe is a pretty good player.  Don’t know that he’s easily replaceable - unless Beane is about to make a significant investment early in the draft, which I could see him doing.

Who were these young safeties you speak of? Are we talking UDFA’s and journeymen?

Yep.  Josh Thomas, Garrett Taylor, Abraham Wallace.  Also Jaquan Johnson who is a draft pick.  No one beat Marlowe out.  Marlowe was a UDFA himself.  Turned himself into a pretty good player.

The only draft pick is still on the team, and all UDFA’s or journeymen aren’t? Also how much do you think Marlowe’s experience in the system came into the decision to keep him around?

The only draft pick never got close to the same defensive snaps as the journeyman.   His experience only matters if he plays well.  No one beat him out who was brought to add competition to his roster level. 🤷🏾‍♂️

If Marlowe bolts, it will be a big loss - depth very shaky behind Dr. Poyer and Mr. Hyde.

 

I am hoping the “mystique” of the Lions gives us the advantage. Remember when that used to work against us? 

 

Me too. Life is good for Bills fans, no matter where Marlowe ends up.
