Bills cuts

Recommended Posts

I know 3 QBs and all... but I like Barkley and wish he was just a bit more capable to be the true #2 for years to come. 
 

And hope most of those guys can make the practice squad.  As we all expected, they had to cut some pretty good depth players today!    
 

I hate this day as a fan... can’t really imagine the feelings and emotions these guys must have today.  They’ve  all worked their butts off to get here.

So you think we wont be seeing Diggs and Davis on the field at the same time all that much?  I disagree with that.

 

 

Not at all what I'm saying. I'm saying the Bills use a lot of formations where there's more receivers lined up in the slot than outside. Like on this play, where Diggs, Davis and Bease were in the slot and Kumerow and Brieda we're the outside receivers:

And on this play were all 3 wr's are lined up in the slot:

I’d like this. People keep trying to move on from Stevenson, but I’m not ready to quit him yet. Looks like the Bills aren’t either. Yes, he’s got work to do, but he has good speed and can hopefully still contribute to this team at some point provided he can get/stay healthy.

This is a very different Bills team that we are used to.  Loaded with talent.  Many cuts will find homes on other teams.  Years ago we would be looking at the cuts from other teams to sign guys not only to make the squad but possibly start.  The culture of the team has changed for the better

His speed on the outside could be big later in the year. Like don Beebe in the old days

Luke Tenuta marks the 7th cut in 5 Beane drafts to not make the team (If you count Teller). It's a late pick so not exactly a big deal, but it's interesting.


When you have a loaded team, tough for anyone to crack the roster, even drafted players.  Especially a later round like Tenuta.

Granted, they are highlights, but watching his college tape, the guy is explosive and is running away from guys. Outside of injury, I’m not sure he’ll get much run at WR this year, but you never know. More likely at returner (which he was pretty good at in college, but had a few awkward moments last year doing it in the pros that people are dogging him for). I’m just happy they see something there that may be worth developing. Time will tell on him.

The top image shows multiple slot receivers. The bottom image doesn’t as there is no receiver outside of Diggs to create a slot. Lining up tighter vs. wider doesn’t define a slot.

Only notable in that it was a junk pick the moment it was announced. The guy can’t move. And he couldn’t move on his tape either. But hey he’s tall!

Can somebody explain me that Mancz thing? I thought from all the reports that he was a lock.

I still think he comes back after all the moves are done. I think it's just roster shuffling with injuries.

I am confused.


Injury issues.

Hmm, but if they wanted to keep him, they wouldn't cut him. He has 350K dead money. If he is out for a month but you want him, you cut Kumerow after mutual agreement, roster Mancz, IR Mancz and resign Kumerow with couple extra bucks. Doesn't make sense to me.

I think Beane specificaly said its nothing major with Mancz. I guess we will know by tomorrow.

A 7th rounder being a junk pick?  That's news.

With this deep of a roster, those picks should have been traded away for a higher round pick next year.  Oh well.  Pretty sure every team cuts at least one or more of their draft picks.  After round 5 I would say the difference between UDFA and draft pick is negligible.

Fair enough, the point I'm trying to make between the use of multiple slot, bunch and tight sets, the skill set usually needed to play slot wr i.e. quick and shifty vs 'outside' wr is utilized more often in out offense. Diggs has the skillet for both positions, but he's not the prototype 6' 4" 225lbs "outside" receiver. Davis is more prototype for outside.

 

But the Bills value the route running and quickness needed to play slot more than the size and strength of outside receivers, and imo you see that reflected in the styles of routes and formations.

Not gonna lie the oj howard pickup bothers me

 

thats a bit of coin just to cut

Gotta give them credit for not keeping him just because they paid him…going with the guys who earned it.

Agreed. I asked about this couple posts earlier. Doesn't make sense based on everything we heard during camp. Backup center, looked like lock, injury was supposed to be minor. Really curious what is going on.

They may just be playing the system and his minor injury ‘fit the requirements” for sleight of hand.  

We should know fairly soon.
