DrDawkinstein Posted August 24 Posted August 24 I think he has everything McD and staff want in that 53rd man Special Teamer. Any other year and I'd say he's a lock to make the roster just for kick coverage. Ciarlo's problem is that Shavers has managed to shine and get himself a roster spot. But now McBeane's problem is that Shavers hasnt been doing much on special teams. Tricky problem to have. I'll definitely be watching how it all plays out this week. Quote
kirkwoodus13 Posted August 24 Posted August 24 This kid is way better than Buffalo Joe. Infact Buffalo Joe sucks and should be cut replace on the practice Squad. 35 has out played all of the backup Linebackers except for 42. With Shavers, 42, and 35 the special teams unit are going to be good, plus they all can play if needed. Buffalo Joe needs to go!!! 5 1 1 Quote

We know what we get with Andreeson...Time to find a better player as a critical backup as Milano and Bernard are injury prone Quote
518Buffalo Posted August 24 Posted August 24 Easy PS stash for me. I could be naive but it seems unlikely he’d get scooped up, and then next year with a year under his belt you can have him compete for a depth role. With Shavers showing out and the uncertainty at CB and OL it’s hard for me to justify keeping 6 LB 1 Quote

Unfortunately, veterans lose this desire after a few years. Quote

I was really pulling for the Bills to sign or even draft Dolac honestly. Oh well... 1 Quote
Mat68 Posted August 24 Posted August 24 I could see him as the 53rd guy. I would cut Codrington, keep Cairlo. I like his instincts in coverage. Moves like a safety. Much more in the style of Benard and Milano than any other linebacker on the roster. I think he is instantly a core special teamer, and after a few weeks in the system the best reserve coverage linebaker. 3 2 Quote

Last I knew most military academy grads are pretty smart guys as well, not a bad thing in the overall evaluation. I think if you cut Codrington tho, you have to keep Hamler on the active roster. 1 Quote
PayDaBill$ Posted August 24 Posted August 24 (edited) I like this kid a lot he’s got balls, desire and he’s a hitter Might be a good special teamer and backup guy lb, maybe safety in a pinch. He’s athletic. Edited August 24 by PayDaBill$ 3 Quote

You're part of a large group that hoped for this. Rightly or wrongly, this is a topic which will reoccur regularly... a sore point that'll never go away unless Kaden Prather becomes a player for the Bills. 1 Quote

I think both Ciarlo and Shenault make it over Shavers for teams. Shavers makes 53 if we decide to keep six WR which isn't a guarantee at this stage. Everyone is overlooking teams imo.

As fearless as he is as a returner, he seems fearful as a coverage guy. 3 Quote

BuffBillsForLife Posted August 24 Posted August 24 He looked a lot better than Andreesson out there, so it's going to be extra painful when we keep Buffalo Joe on the roster and Ciarlo gets snatched off waivers. Quote
Pete Posted August 24 Author Posted August 24 Im pulling for Ciarlo and Shavers to make the roster! Quote
davefan66 Posted August 24 Posted August 24 (edited) Ciarlo looks like he can be a very good player. Would like to somehow keep this kid. Give him time to get better on the PS. Kid looks a bit raw still, but looks to have what it takes to play in this league. I don’t get the hate for Andreessen though. Dude has instinct, good tackler. Thought last night he looked very good. Feel he can play well within this system when there are actual game plans. Edited August 24 by davefan66 1 Quote

Feel he can play well within this system when there are actual game plans. I couldn't agree more. I think it has to do with the stain left by the Bears game... a stain on the entire roster from top to bottom... not just Buffalo Joe. I have a feeling he's gonna be a good pro linebacker. 2 Quote

He’s made some nice plays but he’s isn’t a priority claim for any team. PS for sure 1 Quote
