JerseyBills Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Agree but I still believe Stevenson has a role on this team. I'm aware his injury hurts his chances and the WR depth is very good but I feel he's too talented to cut or place on the PS (where he'll get poached). Also believe the staff has high expectations of him. I'd love to see Stevenson over Kumerow. Otherwise I agree with this list 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida Bills Fanatic Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Pretty good assessment. IMHO Bills probably don't keep 5 running backs but we'll find out soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moss or one of the backup TEs can line up at FB. Waste of a roster spot. I mean, that's your opinion and you're entitled to it.

Don't know that you'd have to worry too much about a 34-year old teamer getting poached. There was a similar move with Andre Roberts a couple years back. They do not have to make a move with White or Boettger. They are on PUP (active) right now and count on the 90/85/80 man roster. Because they were designated PUP before camp they can be moved to PUP (inactive) and do not count as part of the 53, but then have to sit out the first 4 games (this changed from 6 in previous years). They can then get activated from PUP with a roster move to get on the 53. The 2 injured people that may need this move right now are Stevenson and Doyle if either are hurt enough to be unavailable and need the 4 week IR with return designation. They can also activate White (or Boettger) from PUP at any time now and then would need them on the 53 when cuts come. There is no longer an advantage I do not think to activate from PUP and move to IR return prior to the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have to see - that was a common thought on Williams and Wade in previous years (and honestly going back years at RB and WR) and the truth is most teams have 5 RBs right now good enough to play in the NFL and several were drafted higher and have more NFL game experience than Blackshear and will be cut in the coming days. I love what Blackshear gives, but he just went through the entire draft and no one wanted him and then went to UDFA where he was not an immediate sign priority guy, but a later pick-up by the Bills.

He has been decent and I am sure they wanna PS him. I'll say Prince Emili, DT is the other cut.

There are 10+ easy cuts at this point and determining which are the first to go out of that batch is hard to predict. My bet is that the Bills are at least partially motivated (on this cut) by whether or not someone is a "glue guy"/popular. All things being equal, someone who is "good in the room" likely gets held on to until the last cut. The problem is we don't get to see any of that so it is hard to judge.

It gets interesting when Smith returns from suspension, and if Boettger returns. I think Smith will only show up based on an injury, and Boettger will be a while on PUP with a torn achilles week 16 last year so I wouldn't base too many roster decisions around him as there's a pretty decent chance he can't contribute much this year.

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 These cuts will probably be players that the Bills will not want on the practice squad. There may also be a veteran that knows that he isn't going to make the team and wants to get a chance to catch on elsewhere. The Bills may also factor in what positions they need to fill for the last preseason game (depends on who they are holding out of the game). There are more than four obvious cuts on this roster.

nosejob Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 18 hours ago, The Wiz said: My guess would be Cam Lewis as he can play both safety and cb. I'm hoping Spector and when Smith comes off his suspension, hopefully Spector can take Matekevich's place. I think he's probably the better choice to backup a LB spot providing more value. Hopefully they can end up protecting Lewis and McCloud on the P.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck Water Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) 18 hours ago, BillsFanForever19 said: But I definitely disagree with the idea that Blackshear would "never" make it to the Practice Squad. UDFA RB's who perform well late in Pre-Season games are a dime a dozen. I don't see him being scooped up by another team for their 53 man roster. I don't consider myself a judge of how our UDFA RB looks relative to other UDFA RB's. Questions to ask include, how is he doing on ST? and how is he coming along with pass protection? We at TBD historically pick several players who do well in preseason and obsess about how they'll be snapped up immediately if they're cut. And usually they aren't. 18 hours ago, BillsFanForever19 said: That roster spot will go to CB Cam Lewis (especially if White is going to miss time), TE Tommy Sweeney (if we're going to run 2 TE sets, we need to carry at least 3 TE's), or DT Brandin Bryant (we carried 11 DL to the 53 last season. Maybe we carry 1 less, but 2 is pushing it IMO). We carried 11 DL last season because we drafted 2 rookies and didn't want to expose them. It came at the expense of just Knox and Gilliam at TE IIRC In the past, McDermott has carried 9-10 DL depending upon the OL situation.

BullBuchanan Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 2 of Blackshear, Hodgins, and Kumerow get cut I think. Spector or Giles-Harris makes the roster and I think you need another DB to start the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quessenberry (current starter) Doyle (in a boot) Mancz (some form of injury?) - backup center Ford Other OL: Hart Capra Tenuta (2022 6th round pick) Van Roten Andersen Owen Boettger (PUP, will probably go to IR) So.....who makes the 53 man roster?

Spector or Giles-Harris makes the roster and I think you need another DB to start the season. I think Hodgins will need to show more in Special Teams next week for Kumerow to be cut, especially after ST's performed subpar with his first looks there in the game, and now that Austin has been released. We kept 6 True WR's and Kumerow for the Core ST's last season. With Austin gone and Stevenson hurt, that leaves Diggs, Davis, McKenzie, Crowder, Shakir, and Hodgins as the obvious 6 True WR's. Hodgins would need to show he can perform ST's up to Kumerow's level to justify keeping just him instead of both. Blackshear will be released and brought back for the Practice Squad. He's the yearly overachieving UDFA that people work themselves into a frenzy about and think there's no way we can get them back for the PS when it's really not an issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And every year they say "someone's going to scoop him up". And it doesn't happen. Singletary, Cook, Moss, and Johnson all saw the field before Blackshear in both games and we're only keeping 3 of those 4. Practically every fanbase in the league has a Blackshear they're overhyping based on Preseason garbage time. He'll be back on the Practice Squad without issue. No one's giving him a spot on their 53 based on 3rd and 4th quarter performances in Preseason for another team at the RB position. And if someone did, this regime would be thrilled for him having a better opportunity than he would here. They'd probably bring Duke back on the Practice Squad and not miss a second of sleep over it.
