Ethan in Cleveland

I think many of us don't feel he is an average player. Many of us feel if he wasn't on the Bills roster he wouldn't be on any roster, thus far below an average player. And lastly many of us are worried that his story clouds the judgement on his ability. Im happy for him. Its a great story. Hopefully Bishop plays well and he hardly sees the field.

Looks like Strong makes it and is safety #5? Rapp, Bishop, Hamlin, Lewis, Strong?

Lol. Get ready for him to start. McDermott can't help himself.

Only one draft pick released so far. Curious to see if Lundt makes it to the final 53. Anyone know how much he did or didnt play in Tampa game?

I know. He's a very expensive special teams player. But to his credit he did have one forced fumble on kick off coverage unit last year or the year before. I can't recall.

Correct! There is only one acceptable response. There are rules to society and if they start breaking down chaos reigns! Soon dogs will be sleeping with cats. Mass hysteria. Real end times stuff.

Surprises would be somebody like VanDemark or Grable. Yes both reserves but many thought they would be relative roster lock. Will be interesting to see if one of them gets cut to make room for Lundt. I always hope for a Gilliam cut but it never happens. I'd much rather carry an extra roster spot pretty much anywhere( maybe except LB) than carry a FB. Please no "He can play TE comments". They have 3 credible TEs and use a 6th OL at TE3 already.

Ouch that would be a surprise. Several on here thought he had some upside as a situational pass rusher.

Not defending Young really. Just stating facts. That said my opinion is Epenesa sucks and Young at least has an excuse for poor play.

We have not seen it lately because when Bernard couldn't play MLB, Milano was still out too. So we got to see Kleine and Spector alongside Williams. You have an interesting point though. If Bernard is hurt does Williams play MLB or do they go with Shaq Thompson assuming he makes the team? Buffalo Joe is terrible at LB. If he plays LB they are screwed. If he wasnt a local product there would be far less interest. To be honest I'm not even sure he is any good at special teams, not that I care who plays LB on special teams.

Young has been injured Epepensa has not

He's a solid return guy in a league that is now bringing back more return opportunities. But like Matakevich he can't play his defensive position at all. So you have to account for that in your 53 roster construction. Lets be honest, it wouldn't even be an issue if Elam panned out at CB or Hairston was ready to play. But now it is an issue.

Agree. Looked really bad.

I get it that Beane drafted Hairston and he got hurt, but right now the secondary is a flaming disaster. Like season altering disaster. As it stands now what are we looking at, Ingram starting at CB#2? Lewis as CB#3? Time to trade some future draft picks and get someone that can play CB. Hoping a broken down White and a rookie who hasn't played in weeks is the answer at CB is pure negligence. And that doesn't even address the safety issue where at best there is great uncertainty with Bishop. Maybe he plays well which would be a welcome surprise. The rookie DL looks good so far. Props for him addressing the DL. Even if Carter looks like a bust and we have to wait 6 weeks for Hoecht to play, the kids look ready to contribute. Win now at all costs. Go find a competent CB#2.

Dam. I know some on here think he is washed up. Will be interesting to see how he does.

One year too late just like Von

I'd be shocked if this happens. Can't imagine they would go with a rookie starter and an underperforming second year at the 1 tech. Phillips is not a 1 tech to line up next to Oliver in run downs. He is best served as an interior pass rusher to line up next to Oliver on 2rd and 3rd and long situations. But what the hell lets put even more pressure on Allen to score 40 a game

He was a captain!

Hope so! Carter moved to 1 tech this year. So while they may cut Carter I dont think this signing is really about how bad he has been. Probably more to do with Walker playing well and maybe DQ has looked ok. Phillips probably plays alongside Oliver in pass rush situations only.

Correct me if im wrong, but isn't Phillips primarily a #3 tech backup to Oliver. Which to me means they aren't happy with Sanders. Another 2nd round pick that Beane traded up for. I dont think I've read anything positive or to be honest negative about Sanders. Kind of non-descript camp which is a shame for 41st overall selection

Taron times 2! Had no idea about the other 101 yard INT return! Pretty sure I was at the Steve Freeman one but I was only 8 at the time and dont remember much of the game itself.

We only have one lifetime... most of us have been around long enough to see great seasons of football. Enjoy the games. Nobody is taking that away from you. But without a SuperBowl win with the best QB in the league its a failed season.

To be fair, I think most hoped he would outplay Trubisky because no one has any faith in Trubisky. Looks like White failed the test. Like you said. Waive him and there is a very good chance he is still available mid year if catastrophe strikes. It wont matter if Allen misses even a few games. The roster is not good enough to carry Trubisky. The run game works best because of the QB threat. The defense can't stop anyone when it matters. Without a lead to work with they would get scorched. It's all on Allen.

But what about the cap hit? Afraid we are stuck with Allen for a while...
