The biggest frustration with Safety is that we’re likely going into the season with Rapp, Bishop, Hamlin, Hancock and Lewis.
Cant really make a move this late in the game because it apparently takes a Masters Degree to learn how to play Safety here.
Cant really make a move if there’s any belief in Bishop’s potential, because bringing in a starter would essentially be punting on his second season.
And can’t really make a move in-season before the deadline, because see point 1 about how difficult it is to learn this defense, allegedly.
So we have who we have and better hope it’s enough, because not much we can do about it now. As opposed to most other positions where you can realistically bring in a guy and ramp him up over a few weeks.

Joe Buscaglia casually floating that he won’t be surprised if the Bills trade a receiver that helps them with the cap.
This in response to a tweet listing various teams monitoring the WR trade market.
Could open up a spot for Gabe Davis and/or Tyrell Shavers.

The Safety play this preseason has been comical. Theres not one positive thing I can take away from these two games aside from the potential of Jordan Hancock next year because McDermott won’t play him with his ultra-complicated wizard level Safety requirements.

Honestly I'd be ok with Gabe Davis as a WR4-6. He could be a good fit for this offense. My major issue with him was it seemed a few times a year near the goal line he and Allen wouldn't be on the same page with a hot route on a blitz or where they wouldn't make the same read.
I was disappointed they didn't re-sign Mack Hollins this offseason.
Agreed. And with Coleman and Palmer outside, the only place Gabe should be getting goal line/red zone snaps is in the slot as an in line blocker who can run routes like we saw against KC in his blow up game. -

I don’t disagree and I also do disagree. Allen put up an MVP season with largely a lesser group last season. I’ll take what they have on the roster this year over last. And that should include (hopefully) a much bigger year from Kincaid.
We can’t expect Allen to be the league MVP every year with a lesser cast than his peers have though.
He might be able to do it.. I think Allen is the best player in the NFL. But it’s not a fair ask.
He started the year breaking his hand because he had to do too much and finished the year being let down by his supporting cast, again.. as Kincaid dropped a catchable pass.
Curtis Samuel was a signing that was universally questioned by Bills fans due to his injury history and, what a shock.. he’s always injured. Elijah Moore got 2.5M fully guaranteed because we didn’t draft a viable WR.
Now, here we are, on August 19th with our HC saying we have 3 WR’s and then who knows. Gabe Davis back in the building for a workout.
I like our Top 3 if what is being said about Keon plays out in the season, but if we cut Samuel/Moore, that’s money lit on fire because of his inability to stock the cupboard at WR.

Not for nothing, but Beane looks a bit ridiculous for the Jeremy White thing if we’re out here lighting money on fire with Curtis Samuel & Elijah Moore with his 2.5M fully guaranteed.
All is forgiven if Keon breaks out this year and Palmer is the guy Beane hypes him to be, but when McDermott says we have 3 WR’s then ((shrugs)) it’s not the greatest endorsement of how we’ve addressed a room he’s received criticism over year after year.

People bringing up Shavers, they could
still keep him with Gabe.
Also, most teams have a Shavers. Some guy named Tinsley made plays for the Bengals last night. Jackson Meeks, a UDFA, has been lighting it up for Detroit. List goes on and on.
-
Gabe Davis would be coming here as WR4, at best, behind Keon, Palmer and Shakir.
Id take that in a second over Moore or Samuel.
Hes also an elite blocking WR and could do some of what we had Mack Hollins doing last year.

Very good, borderline elite, but I can’t get there due to his playoff performance (or lack thereof).

Joe Marino felt the need to lecture everyone for being annoyed with Hamlin on this team.
Im so sick of this narrative from Damar defenders.
Most of us don’t have anything against him. We can simply see with our two eyes that he’s a massive liability out there and due to the fact both our safeties are injury prone.. he plays all the time.
What the **** kind of defense do we run where the DL is the most important part because we need to get pressure with 4, but also the linebackers are really important .. oh, and don’t forget slot corner.. can’t lose Taron.. and I mean, of course outside corners are of huge importance and did I forget to say that Safety play in our system is massively important because they’re the QB’s of the Defense?
Pick a struggle and for the love of all that is holy, take a chance on upside guys who might make mistakes over depth linebackers and safeties who you “trust” to be in position, even though they’re average at best.
Average, at best, has had to play in the playoffs and been a massive issue.

Guys like Damar Hamlin and Joe Andreesen are a problem for this team.
They value reliable guys like this for depth, which isn’t a terrible idea.. but these guys are depth for starters that have lengthy injury histories.
We need more upside in those areas and I wish McDermott/Beane would take some risks and go with a Hancock over a Hamlin when given the chance.

Was that game really warranting of a Schefter tweet?

Don’t know, don’t care. This game is about deciding on backups.
Fair, but Andreeson and Hamlin backup positions we typically sustain injuries in.I don’t want either on the team at this point, let alone playing meaningful snaps.

Meh.. concerned about Hamlin, Bishop and Andreeson after tonight, but we came into this game DEEP in the roster depth.-

This fairy-tale story of Hamlin needs to end. I don't even want him as depth.
This is where I’m at.
Mainly because you know he’s going to be playing in real games if he makes the team.
Just be done with it already.

Not going to get overly worked up about the defense as a whole, but Hamlin, Bishop and Andreeson don’t look like they belong on a bottom feeder defense, let alone one that is contending for a Super Bowl.
Thats our backup MLB, starting Safety and backup Safety that seems to play all
the time.

PUP solves a problem, and they can probably get by at IOL for a bit with Anderson as the primary backup at all three IOL positions and Lundt kicking in. The Grable concussion complicates things a bit.
Don’t they like Grable on the inside as well at Guard?He keeps being mentioned as a possible David Edwards replacement next year.
Seems like he has impressed at both swing Tackle and Guard, but ever since he won the swing Tackle job, it’s been a setback here and a setback there with injury or concussion.
-
0.0 chance Van Demark or Van Pran Granger make it to the PS.
Lundt would be the one to try and stash given some teams were scared off from even drafting him due to his measurables, but if he puts out more tape like Preseason Week 1, no chance he makes it either.
Joe Buscaglia mentioned the Bills potentially trading for a 1T DT in a recent article. Speculation, but he typically has a reason for saying stuff. If Lundt continues to impress, I could see them offering Van Demark up for a pick or player swap, but if they can stash SVPG due to injury and keep them all.. that’s probably ideal.
Dawkins, Brown, McGovern, Torrence & Edwards
Van Demark, Grable, Lundt & Anderson
PUP/IR Van Pran Granger

Weak and lame attempt to discredit.
He made him walk through F-22’s and flew a B-2 over his dome.

Bills hosting Gabe Davis for visit
in The Stadium Wall
Posted · Edited by SCBills
If we went into the season with Coleman, Palmer, Shakir, Gabe & Moore (or Samuel), we might not have a WR1 but that’s an incredibly deep group of WR2/3 types.
Also, Josh in speaking about Keon, mentioned how they plan to use him all over the field.. inside, outside etc.
Another pure outside WR could be helpful if they plan on playing Keon all over.
Also, moving Samuel (if that’s what Joe B is referring to) lessens the logjam of guys who play more in the slot given Shakir + RB’s and TE’s.
As you point out though.. where is the ST’s help in that room, unless Shakir, Coleman and/or Moore replace Codrington as punt returner.
I prefer Gabe over Shavers as he’s proven it here. Preseason has a ton of guys like Shavers and I don’t know that he doesn’t make it back to our PS.. every team has a guy like him. But I also don’t know what more he can do… has to be frustrating.
