Gabe Davis Finally activated to PS

[Bockeye]

I was a big Coleman fan knowing players on FSU and what they said about him.  Eating crow now - he looks like a WR4 currently.  Hopefully he improves.  

 

I believe Gabe is def an upgrade at this point, esp with his connection with Allen previously. 

 

All this being said, it’s insane we have not traded for a WR.  We should be willing to part with a #1 or 2 pick given Beane’s failure at drafting.  Meyers, Olave, Shaheed have a much better chance of contributing than Beane’s pick in rd 1 or 2 next year. 

 

I’d also throw in that, normally being optimistic about this team, we absolutely do not look like a SB team.  Every nay sayer picking this team apart is correct on their takes.  To not even make it to the SB with Allen is travesty at this point.

Yep Wrong Way Gabe is inching his way back to the lineup.   Can't keep his 3 routes straight, clap catches the football because his hands are too hard to do otherwise and now he has a bum knee to boot.    I will say that he does kinda' know how to find open space in a scramble drill which is apparently a trait that eludes most of the more able bodied WR's they have.

Might have been wrong way, but at least he was open lol.

He was already signed (to practice squad) weeks ago.  Was just on IR.

This is really the only optimistic part of Gabes return - is the only guy here at WR who seems to know what to do on scramble drill is Shakir, the others not so much.  And at least Gabe should be better at that.  But as I said earlier, hard to get excited about Gabe when he was so inconsistent before when he had Diggs on the other side of the field.  Now he has to get open with Keon on the other side instead - not the same thing.  Not to mention also coming off knee issues...

That's really strange. 

 

Last time Gabe was on the Bills, Bills fans ran him out of out of town on a rail by screaming expletives at him from the stands.

 

Now we want him back.

 

Weird 

How did anyone “run him out of town?”

 

he got a massive FA contract by another team.

Start him.

Palmer is likely out this week.
No trade made.

 

Shakir

Samuel (not on injury report, yet!)

Davis 

Coleman

 

Moore

Shavers

 

WOOF 

 

Likely Davis isn't activated this week. Looks like he just hit the field and they're bringing him along pretty slowly. But hey, I was wrong about Hairston being activated, so you never know.

 

Considering the amount of teams in on Shaheed and Meyers, getting a trade done before the deadline was unlikely. Even if we had, it's still no guarantee they would have played him on just a couple days in the building.

 

But we're in on Shaheed and Meyers and that can still happen.

This means the Choo Choo is worthless

I told you so...

What would the feeling be like if we have a repeat of the 13 second game with Gabe Davis getting four touchdowns in the playoffs against the Chiefs in Kansas City, but we win this time?

It's the regular season so it doesn't really mean that much

Sorry boyst, I should have been clearer in my post.  I was talking about a playoff game this year not this week's game.

Well he’s faster than Coleman there so that’s a positive.

Also doesn't count as one of 8 possible "IR back to roster" moves for the regular season.

I may have been wrong, heard Sal Capaccio say it did count as one of the 8

Will big game Gabe repeat his 13 seconds performance?🤗

[Starr Almighty]

Am I  the only one not excited?

He was in for visits with them. Doubt he was "trying out" considering he was recovering from knee surgery.  The Bills signed him knowing he wouldn't be ready for several weeks to the practice squad and stashed him on the injured list. Not sure what you are trying to get at, but it doesn't really make much sense.

Ok that's where I was confused a bit. It wasn't making sense to me about the whole activation part. So did they have to sign him and then put him immediately on IR?  Does a player go right to IR?  I'm not "trying to get at anything" it was a sincere question. I haven't followed the whole Gabe Davi's thing as I never really thought he'd see the field. And you're right trying out was the wrong wordage. Visiting was correct.

Yes, similar to that...IR is only for players on the active roster.  There essentially is a practice squad version of that called Practice Squad/Injured where they can be put and they don't count against the PS roster until they are activated from it. Follows the same rules as IR where they have a 3 week ramp up period where they are allowed to practice prior to being activated but unlike the IR, they don't count towards your limit of 8 IR activations per season as someone else pointed out upthread.

Because he wanted to get in, get signed, and start prepping. He's been in the install process and team meetings for months. If he's been a FA, he would now be starting that process. 

Thanks. Yeah I didn't realize he was signed and directly to IR. I don't recall that happening. Someone made a redeem w to signing an injured player the other day and got roasted for it. This sounds similar to me I guess. Hey ya learn something new. I've not been following the whole gabe Davis thing as I haven't really believed we'd see him on the field.

Wow. This has totally gone over my head and I thought I was pretty plugged in. Thanks I appreciate it.
