khlax3 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) I have seen mentioned in numerous thread the different position battles however I don’t know the remaining battles are position specific. As far as the specialist go I think those 3 are set. Arazia will be the punter. The only thing he had to prove to win the job was that he could hold and he has done that. On defense I think there are only 2 open spots. 1 spot on the dline. The top 8 are set (miller, groot, Epenesa, basham, Oliver, phillips, jones, settle). That leaves 1 spot as I believe they will keep 9 total. There are 4 contenders for this spot. Lawson, Love, Bryant, Ankou. The other spot I think is between a 7th corner and 6th linebacker and it comes down to Spector or Lewis (this could change after game 6 when smith comes of suspension) on offense I think the qb position is set and oline is set keeping 9 (Dawkins, saffold, Morse, bates, brown, quessenberry, Doyle, ford, mancz) The top 4 running backs are set with singletary, moss, Gilliam, and cook. The top 4 wr are also set with diggs, Davis, McKenzie, shakir The top 2 tight ends are Knox and Howard. Rather than looking at the last 4 spots available by position I think it makes sense to look at it from ST value along with positional need. 2 of those 4 spots will have to be WR with the remaining 2 spots could be at wr if they keep 7, a 3rd tight end (we have Gilliam so it’s not a given we have to have 3) and I could see up to 6 running backs for ST value. Here are the guys competing for those last spot: Twain jones blackshear Sweeney morris austin hodgins crowder kumerow Based on the camp reports and preseason I am keeping jones, blackshear, hodgins and crowder. This gives the best mix of offensive talent and special teams ability. I think you can stash Morris and Sweeney on PS and go into games with 2 true TE and Gilliam Edited August 15, 2022 by khlax3 Mispelling 5 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Crowder and Hodgins will make it 2. Jones for ST/gunner...he's just that good at that role 3. Last spot to me is a bit different, I think we keep 6 LBs (Spector for now, will be interesting when Smith suspsension ends) and opt for Lewis over Blackshear. Unless Blackshear is in the plans for a returner role, I think they try to stash him on the P/S. I already think Dorsey will have his work cut out for him involving the top 3 RBs, and Lewis adds more value as a possible gunner and backup corner (especially with a bit of uncertainty with Tre's exact return, as of now). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Who is our returner? I think the OP left Stevenson out in his list of options for the last spot. Traditionally you would think one of Stevenson or Austin would make the team as the returner. Personally I am willing to roll the dice with McKenzie in that role despite his issues but I know many are not. So who is our returner if it is not Stevenson, Austin or McKenzie?

BADOLBILZ Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I expect the early season roster to be pretty fluid. The Bills may keep more OL or DB than expected because the OL position is one of the weaker ones in the league and the Bills DB's are better players than their TE or WR counterparts. With 11 days between the season opener and the home opener I'd look for the Bills to treat the first game roster sorta' like a weekly "active" roster and then do some re-arranging after the opener.........particularly if it involves giving a roster spot to a veteran whose salary they don't want to have to guarantee by having them on the roster week 1. Guys like Shaq Lawson or Tavon Austin.........or maybe Carolina releases Andre Roberts.......something like that. Also could see Beane getting froggy and trading to try to fix some imbalances on offense.........the last couple WR, TE and interior OL are not where you want them in a season where you are otherwise positioned to bully your way into a Super Bowl.

NewEra Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 If we keep a 5th rd, I’d rather keep Blackshear over Jones. I think he could be our best punt returner. He’s pretty electric with the ball in his hands too. Wish he could work his tail off and become a proficient gunner. If we’re going to keep a guy strictly for ST reasons, it would be nice for him to be able to play two prime ST roles. 1 minute ago, nosejob said: Doesn't mean they won't put him on the P.S Usually when guys are cut this early in camp, they don’t want them.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Agree with most except Blackshear. Can't see them keeping 4 RB's plus Jones and Gilliam on a team that for the past couple of years only would go with 2 RB on game days. Definitely not wasting a slot for Blackshear. Instead that last slot likely will go to Kumerow. This Blackshear love is kind of funny. Reminds me of the past couple of seasons it was Wade, D Williams, and think there was also a RB named Williams. He did great in the 4th quarter of pre-season games going up against mostly other undrafted players. If White isn't ready week 1, the 7th CB choice becomes and easy one. Looking at the numbers that gives a total of 25 to offense, 2 QB, 2 TE, 9 OL, 4 RB, 1 FB, 7 WR, and 25 to defense 9 DL, 6 LB, 6 CB, 4 S plus 3 specialists. Now the question is how do you get down to 47 on game day. For that drop 1 OL, 1 DL, 1 WR, 1 LB. After that it gets tougher for the last two. Last season they often went with just 1 TE and 3 RB. This year though see that being tough choice as Singletary, Moss, and Cook all have uniquely different strengths. Personally if it were up to me I'd keep all three active and sit Jones but not so sure they will. It often may come to either sitting Howard or Gilliam and maybe a CB?? Or instead it may end up being one of the three REAL RB's if past actions are any indicator, but won't make me happy if that's the choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmishRifle Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I don’t see the utility of holding on to OJ Howard based on preseason game 1. He didn’t offer much even when he was playing late in the game. I’d rather roll with the younger guys and continue to develop them than keep him on the roster.

Pete Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) Blackshear takes Dukes spot IMO. He's younger, cheaper, more upside, and he will be returner and special teams. He has Bills DNA "Raheem Blackshear actually wants to be Deebo Samuel. That is to say, the hybrid running back since his college days at Rutgers and Virginia Tech has been craving the opportunity to be utilized however his future NFL employer may deem fit. He'll carry the ball, he'll go out for and catch passes, he'll return kicks and punts. Hell, he'll even go in at left tackle if that's what his coaches want." https://www.si.com/nfl/bills/news/bills-undrafted-free-agent-profile-raheem-blackshear Edited August 15, 2022 by Pete 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played well and the passion showed, him, Shakir, and Hodgins showed up.

Royale with Cheese Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Every year after one preseason game, this board falls in love with a player. Blackshear had a nice game like many before him. I don’t see a spot for him. Singletary, Moss and Cook I believe will be our 3 RB’s. Taiwan will be our 4th reserve RB and main special teams ace. We won’t keep 5 RB’s. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
