You see it too. Breida and Yeldon didn't dress unless someone was hurt. I don't see it changing unless something changes on ST. I am getting a feeling something may change but we all have to wait to see.

Tre White won't go that route unless his recovery is behind. Stevenson may be another going to IR to start.

History is the Bills keep 6 LBs every year. All the non-starters are ST guys. If that happens again this year, then either Blackshear, Kumerow or Hodgins don't make the cut. The 6th LB (Spector or Gilles-Harris) gets cut when Smith returns for the 7th game unless they look great. My choice is Kumerow goes to the PS. I agree with the rest.

@Doc disagreed with me too. It's not that I don't want Cook dressing every game but if Jones, Kumerow, Matakevich and others dress for ST only someone is put in the position not to dress. History also shows McDermott will sit rookies more than others. I don't want it to happen, I just think it will.

Just want to get the list correct. When it comes to guys who are "core" non-returner/kicker ST players. Core is the punt/kickoff both ways guys. These are the stats for the Bills 4-way core and some 2nd tier players last year. Core: Matakevich - 80% Gilliam - 73% Jones - 71% Neal - 66% Dodson - 64% Johnson - 63% Kumerow - 61% (1st season as a core player) Smith - 60% 2nd Tier: Klien - 42% Epenesa - 33% Hamlin - 29% This year a lock to get a huge amount of ST work and is good at it is Bernard. Guys who if they make the team could be part of the core (unproven as of now) are: Gilles-Harris (proven ST'er who Smalley has talked up in pressers) Spector Blackshear Hodgins Not sure if there are anymore. If someone has seen another I would like to know.

A agree with you completely. Bills keep 2 TEs on the roster and Morris is the priority TE on PS. Where Sweeney ends up is anyone's guess. It would not surprise me for the Bills to use a late Day2 pick on a TE next draft. Early Day 3 at the latest.

When Blackshear and Duke get cut, I doubt very much both get picked up. There will be a lot of decent RBs getting cut in September.

I really like what I see from Cook. What is going to be so funny to see is how this board has posters who melt down when he starts the season not dressing. Devin and Zack will dress to start the season and if Jones is dressing for STs it's a numbers game. Be patient Bills fans, we won't see a lot of him until later in the year.

Ford had a lot of natural talent coming out of college. He has disappointed so far in his NFL career. It's great to hear he may be able to rectify that under Kromer. There are differences between teachers, coaches, mentors and trainers. Sounds like Kromer has qualities of each. Not near enough credit is given to McDermott for putting together his staff.

CJ Spiller if I remember correctly. Marrone and Hackett's first season in 2013.

Come on, no need to go all "Skud Farkus" on him!

"They're RBs ALL ran so well, and none needed to puke"!

He's appeared in 76 games with 64 starts. That's 4 seasons worth of starts. His 2 years as a starter in Minn and Den he has a 17-13 record. He is better than your average backup QB.

Every team will be cutting around 3 RBs. That's a lot of players. Most teams will keep who they have on the team already. Every player cut is a risk, but I give it better than 50/50 he clears.

He signed way before the draft. If he knew the Bills would draft Cook, he probably would have signed somewhere else.

Most likely. Maybe the OL gets a series with Keenum to start.

I'll admit I was down on Moss last year but he is looking better than ever. That injury must of hampered him a lot last season. Devin, Zack and James is a great compliment to each other. Duke gets cut and picked up by another team and Blackshear making it to the PS will be awesome. If it ended up the other way that would be OK too.

A lot of Bronco fans are mad at Elway for not picking him. I got to admit when I seen it I was like, WTF would you say that?

I got the Denver feed living in Colorado. I was a little shocked at the Broncos TV crew starting the game with "What could of been" comment while showing a picture of Josh Allen.

This 13 thing is getting ridiculous IMO. It's over and a new season.

I get what you are saying but there was a lot of 3rd string guys getting looks on ST today. I even seen a guy who may get cut this coming week take snaps. I truly think that McDermott and Smalley want to look at all the options he has. It's going to be crazy picking the last roster spots this year. I also have to keep telling myself that Bass could boom them deep into the endzone and give them the ball at the 25. It will be so interesting to see what cuts or trades are coming.

I think he can get to the PS. There will be a ton of NFL proven RBs cut. Duke Johnson for example. If I remember correctly, Shakir's draft profile was high on his route running.

I'm sure he knew that when he signed after Keenum. I'd be shocked if he didn't sign for the PS. He gets a chance for a ring.

Not really. It's just for a few days before a game. They have a chance to be taken every week.

LOL Haack punts.
