Tank cut - Carder to Cleveland Browns

[Rob's House]

Tank Tweeted this:

 

@tankcarder Preciate everything the Bills have done for me thus far, wasn't the right fit, best of luck to the team and the organization

 

The right fit part makes me wonder if he will even be PS'd

It was never going to work. The Bills were looking for someone that was good & Tank sucked. Just not a good fit there.

Frankly, Bradham hasn't impressed me this preseason either but I guess you got to keep somebody.

[habes1280]

Im still super high on White as well.

 

I'm not an authority, but I thought Carder outperformed White and McKillop by miles in preseason games. Shed blocks fairly well and drove ball carriers backward on contact, as opposed to grabbing and being dragged for positive yardage.

 

I like the name and I like the story, but was more persuaded by his play.

Rico? Your last name isnt Nix by any chance is it?

[Malazan]

If his name wasn't Tank, there would be a lot less interest in him not making the team.

[Offside Number 76]

Not sure where in the multiple cut threads to post, but I would've kept him.

[eball]

If his name was Bill Carder, no one would be shocked or stunned at all.

 

LOL. So true. FWIW, I think Chris White is a player and that's the reason Carder didn't make this team.

Pretty surprising, via his wife's twitter account.

 

Played better than Bradham I don't get it

Perhaps they looked at more than you did?

Well we do like being average so you're probably right

[Lurker]

We loved the name ... we loved the story ... but if you watched him in game action he struggled and seemed lost.

Agreed. Bradham wasn't much better, which is really disapointing.

 

I hope they're scanning the waiver wire as the LB group is a real liability right now...

based on? Is this a 'feeling' or do you have examples of plays that show where one exceeded the other?

Wow 3 pages for a 5th round pick

I hope he stays with the team. I've been a fan since he literally blew up Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl a couple years ago. He is a football player.

 

Maybe his tweet was a ruse. Maybe he's ready to hit the practice squad.

Slow, bad angles, inability to cover backs, lack of explosiveness on contact. Yeah, it's a feeling alright...

[billsfan89]

Makes sense to put him as the first LB off of the practice squad. I thought he would have made the roster over White but its a minor thing, I doubt he gets claimed off waivers.

I'd love examples. I'm not disagreeing with you, but it's easy to say these things. I'm interested in examples..the games and plays that you saw this.

I heard on the radio that Tank Carder was picked up by the Browns. That makes me mad. I wanted him to make the squad.

[Doc]

Yes:
