Yeezus.

Yep. No one is going to claim Phillips though. Not an undrafted guy with no speed that hasn't produced in games. I understand why Bills like him and would but he will not get signed. Now that teams can keep 10 players though on PS it's very possible they will keep two WR.

Some players feel that they were hosed by the team that cut them and want to sign with another. It depends on a lot of factors. Money. The way they were treated. Who is directly ahead of them on the 53. What they think of the coaches and front office and teammates.

No. They hated his attitude and effort in Cleveland.

It has already been mentioned by reporters at least that they want Phillips, Redmond, and Marlowe. I'd be shocked if they didn't want Vallejo.

If the Bills grab Gentry I think it's a pretty good sign Allentown is sooner than later. Will be interesting to see. I think this would be a decent move. He's got size and skills. He's Reilly but better.

Anything that gets Allen into the game earlier. And he has some talent.

I would not be surprised if we signed three or even four off waiver wires. Our depth is really bad. Then again, McBeane only like certain kind of players, and like if not overvalue their guys, so we don't get a chance at as many as other teams.

Me too. Really like him in a lot of little roles. He's Ray McCloud III though so he should be Ray Ray Ray.

It's ridiculous though. He's not that great a KR guy and Ray Ray or Murphy can do that, not to mention most KO are unreturnable. He doesn't return punts and Ray Ray and Kerley can do that. They are keeping Holmes to be the main gunner because they like him. He doesn't make a lot of tackles on ST. They always say he's there for ST and he was the KR at times last year but his ST skills are not needed or that good. Keep either Holmes or Jones for ST not both.

Herzlich cut by Giants. He's surely a McBeane kind of player. We need LBs. Is he decent, or better than we have? I haven't followed him at all lately.

If they keep Ray Ray Ray and Murphy, which they are, there is no reason to keep Jones or a fourth RB.

They better not if they continue this infatuation with Holmes. I think they keep six, including Ray Ray Ray.

Yep. Not many people know this but Jack Nicholson's granddaughter played lacrosse at Yale.

Missing that one tackle on the TD run could have cost him his job. That was pretty bad and you just can't do it.

I think they will. It's actually one of the reasons that Coleman was released. They will keep one more TE and one less WR.

Until it's regular season as he is not trying to catch passes with the back of his hands like a sea lion we don't really know for sure.

We could actually use a fourth punter if the guy was good at fakes. At least these punters would know not to block a guy in the back.

He did nothing but win games for us at the end. How could they cut him? They could surely keep five TEs if they keep three punters.

The patterns thing and effort thing was pretty well known. That was public knowledge. You take the risk on a 7th rounder not even next year on the chance that the new destination lights a fire under him and there is renewed effort and you see he has the skills to be developed. It's pretty tough to know these guys for sure until you have them up close. IMO that seventh round pick is almost worthless and it was worth the risk that they just cut him. I'm pretty sure by how they talked about him day one that he wasn't at all a lock to make the team.

If one can kick long and one can pooch and one can kick to the sidelines, the other team would have no idea where the punt would go. You line them up like the old T formation, three across. Genius! Analytics! Innovation!

I think you can tell about patterns in two weeks. I think you can tell about mental capacity and effort and intestinal fortitude in two weeks. Dropsies not as much but if you're not getting the first two or three and you throw in the fourth it's a pretty easy choice. Some guys are not cut out to play WR in the NFL. Plus McBeane have a certain kind of player and mindset that they like and if you don't buy into it 100% you are not long for the Bills. I'm still not sure that is a good idea. I assume that Coleman wasn't showing enough. I didn't like what I saw in the two games. He wasn't getting open. On the one long pass he didn't even show any speed. It's possible he succeeds elsewhere but as of now I doubt it.

Close. But Da'Rick was never all that highly regarded except maybe as a freshman in college. And pretty much everyone was excited about Kassian as far as Sabres fans. Yes DuhRick had size and speed and talent, so yeah, we still need the concept. But Da'Rick was more of the radical fringe who loved him here.

If he doesn't run good patterns and doesn't pick up the offense and has the dropsies there is a lot of reason to release him.

There were great discussions, posts, threads on the Sabres TSW board a few years ago on a nasty tough winger who also had some offensive skill, Zack Kassian. He never really became what he was supposed to be and was traded to the Oilers for Cody Hodgson, who sucked worse. Kassian is still in the league but never really put it together. But on the board he became known as "The Concept of Zack Kassian." It was a really great name and idea and topic for discussion which is applicable here. I liked the Concept of Corey Coleman but ultimately not the player. I was very happy with the trade, seventh rounders are virtually nothing, and we needed the speed and talent infusion obviously. But after watching and reading and listening more and more he just wasn't cutting it. So he got cut. And now we're back to looking for The Concept of Corey Coleman because we surely need it. If only Robert Foster could track the ball in the air and then catch the sucker.
