OL Derek Kerstetter

OL Jordan Simmons
CB Olajiah Griffin
TE Jalen Wydermayer

 

Wydermayer seemed to be a TE who was good at blocking.  They may have released him early hoping to sign him to PS.

I wrote it as a guess before Chandler posted who was actually released...

Yeah, the way preseason is set up now, teams have to cut 5 players after the first preseason game to get down to 85 players, 10 after the 2nd game to get to 75 and the remaining 22 after the 3rd game to get to the 53 man roster

 

The NFL changed the 75 cutdown to 80.  From what I read having only 75 for the last preseason game forced some teams to play

guys they would have rather sat.

You knew Wydermeyer was toast when he didn’t get in at all and they put OJ Howard in at the end. I wonder if Wydermeyer refused to go in near the end of the game. A stretch but he has been known to have character concerns 

 

I saw Jalen in the game a few times in the 2nd half. But was a ghost. Aside from that one Morris catch all the TEs were no shows.

Sal Cappacio said the other day on the radio that they had to be at 75 after game 2. He might have been mistaken but that's what I went by

One punt does not make a punter, Punt God has to prove himself during the preseason.

Can you imagine if the Bills cut Araiza and kept Haack. 😂 Pretty sure that’s a competition in name only at thins point.

Haack probably is staying for insurance the next week to 2.  Araiza could strain a muscle and there still is a pretty tight PR competition going on.

Except he WAS on the field right next to player who scored.

Kinda surprised about Wydermyer. I was hoping we can get something out of him. He was deemed as 2nd round prospect a year ago. Something went really wrong with him.

yeah I checked his draft card with D Brugler (the Beast)...he went undrafted, is slow-footed, runs a 5.1 40-time, must not have shown separation, blocking skills, improvement, etc

Wydermyer struggled with drops his final year at A&M. He was very successful with Kellen Mond there. Seemed to have a lot more drops with Zach Calzada. Maybe he can catch on with another team. Too many TEs on the team, and Quintin Morris looked good making a nice long catch in his only target. Guess it gave him another week on the roster.

Pour one out for son of Regulator

 

 

As he is walking out he sings to himself...

 

"I'm gettin' jacked, I'm breakin' myself

I can't believe they takin' Olijah's wealth

They took my rings, they took my spot too

I looked at McDermott, said "Damn, that's doo doo!"

Ok, as I know no rap at all, is this a take on one of his father's or uncle's songs?

 

I admit, I was hoping Griffin would stay on the practice squad but I assume if he's the first cut, that's unlikely. Not because he did anything, he hasn't done anything at all except get a bad penalty in a preseason game last year. But because he went to high school with my son. He didn't know him, but still was cool that someone at his school was on the Bills.

Yes, the lyrics matches "Regulate" perfectly.

Bills needed to be at 85 players by 4 pm Tuesday.  They are currently at 84 with Tre White and Ike Boettger on PUP.  So there's room for one player.  I wonder if White is going to be activated shortly.  Just a guess.

 

Players on PUP don't count against the 53 man roster but they do count against the preseason expanded roster. 

https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/07/26/pup-list-explained-rules-players-nfl-injured-reserve

 

So the Bills are at 86 currently, and need to cut a player.

 

Whether/when Tre White and Ike Boettger are activated has no bearing at present.
