I get that the high number of LBs remain for STs. But we must be expecting a certain CB to join the team. Sources from deep within?? That's the same number of CB's we had last season. Only change is Dane Jackson moves from the Practice Squad to take over Josh Norman's spot. He and Cam Lewis only ever came up if there were injuries last season. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Breida going to be inactive all season? My guess is, NO. Not all season. RB's get banged up and miss games, here and there. Also there may be an opponent or two, where the Bills like his style better, or decide to make all RBs available. I don't see him getting much playing time, with that said.

We currently have 11 DL men (6 DE and 5 DT). It's not absolute, certainly (look at WR and TE), but the number of guys we kept last season at each position is a fairly rough guide to how many we think we need to keep this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the NFL protocols, he could miss all kinds of time, just for walking by people. That's why they kept 7 instead of the regular 6. Even still, he didn't deserve it over Jake Kumerow or Marquez Stevenson. They clearly outperformed him on top of being able to stay healthy. That said, he may still come back to the Practice Squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FieldGeneral Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Hodgins having a better camp last year prior to the injuries than Davis?

Not that I thought he had a huge chance to make the Bills 53 but I feel bad for him. He had that great first preseason. Then last year preseason is cancelled so he can’t play. The league changes the rules for this year. Then he gets hurt and can’t play in any preseason games. Feel for the bloke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the protocols are much more strict this year - especially w/ basically 2 classes of NFL player now, based on vaccination. I hope I'm very wrong on this. Losing 5 days for "close contact" just isn't good for our team or any team. I'm not saying Beasley is the only one who runs that risk, but it doesn't look like the Bills took that into consideration at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
