Sweeney is the trusted guy. Maybe Warring in a couple weeks if Knox is still out, to torch them Jets. That's what I think. Judging by the Bills past history with practice squad elevations, it would not surprise me if we see an OLman and a TE (probably Warring but who knows?) elevated from the PS but then become a gameday inactive. The reason to elevate the players at those positions being to provide "next man up" in case the starter at that position becomes ill or has an injury in warmups or something. 5 minutes ago, Warcodered said: I mean we're not rolling with one TE Sweeney has still been playing while Knox has so someone is bound to be coming up. In his presser Allen mentioned Sweeney, Davis, and Kumerow as players who could step up for Knox. Of course, that could hypothetically all be a smokescreen.

Exactly this, Sweeney is currently our #1 TE, not super athletic, but can catch a pass, and block, so he will be filling that roll until Knox is back, if our practice squad guys were better than Sweeney one of them would already be the #2 TE. I just hope the team brings a pissed off, out to prove something attitude into this game, and kicks the Fins azsez for sixty straight minutes, Go Bills!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I figure he has a better chance than any TE in the league to catch a TD this week. Might not get all the touches, but I see a floor of 9- 12 pts for him. or maybe I’m the crazy one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) I don't think it's crazy that he's active. I'm kind of expecting it. It's either him or Morris and Warring has more experience. Also has been in the building for a couple months - so he probably has a grasp on how the offense works by now. He has impressive skills and was drafted above Dawson in the 3rd Round. I don't think he'll outsnap Tommy Sweeney, however. Sweeney's been active as the only other TE on the roster while Warring's been on the Practice Squad. If they saw Warring as a better option than Sweeney, it would have been the other way around by now.

WideNine Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) Warring was such an intriguing prospect, but the injury bug and failing to pickup Texan's playbook. The Texans have been such a dumpster fire it makes you wonder if they just failed to nurture the raw talent. The kid really had no chance... getting a severe concussion the year he was drafted at a joint preseason practice with Green Bay. At 6.5 with 4.6 speed if he could get back to 100% and develop in the Bill's system he could be a waiver steal. NE was willing to take a shot on him till Bill stroked some hefty checks to bring in veteran TE help for his green QB. Not a bad side bet for the Bills to stash for a while to see what they have. A lot of good TEs in that 2019 class, but the 2 that I wanted the Bills to take (Oliver and Warring) spent their first 2 years on IR. In hindsight, glad we had Knox just for his durability. ...and what a few years in Detroit did for T J Hockenson ...

Weight 252 OK that could pounds, but then what is 5.76?? His height is 6 ft 05 in and 0.1 inches - so just over 6 ft 5. That equates to a rating of 8.03 on a scale of 10 for TEs. The height is set up to handle numbers and look identical so that the computer can assign the grade. 5 foot 10 and 0.2 inches would be put out as 5102 and then for a TE because that is short that number woul equate to a rating of something like 0.4 and it would be Red to signify it is way below acceptable. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl2526 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I forgot all about Warring. Don't know about your predictions, but if he's healthy, he becomes more and more a viable option as he gets more familiar with the Bills' offense.

He might be. But the Bills have elevated practice squad guys before, then made them inactive. If they're replacing a guy who is injured during warmups or who becomes ill overnight, they can't do a call-up from the PS at that point except in very limited circs.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 58 minutes ago, Maynard said: Guy looks like a beast at least… He has literally less football experience than Dawson Knox did coming into the NFL. But yeah, he's got off-the-charts athleticism. He was the epitome of "Looks like Tarzan, Plays like Jane" with Houston He didn't impress either the Colts or NE during his 3-4 day "cup o' coffee" there. To be fair, he had some tough breaks with injuries in his 2 years with the Texans and I think it's fair at this point to question what their player development was like overall. But 7 targets and 3 receptions for 35 yds and some ST snaps is not a lot of production for 2 years of a 3rd round pick. 7th Round Sweeney had 8 receptions on 13 targets for 114 yds in 2019. He doesn't play teams, though, which Warring did with Hou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
