Jerry Jabber Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Is this guy a special teams player? I don't see him sticking on the Bills just as a WR.
The Big Cat Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Can we stop calling these guys "wide receivers?" I mean, yes, if the starting corps all eats the fish and are too violently ill to take snaps, may be then he's a "wide receiver." Can we just come up with another name? Is "special teamer" so wrong?

Maybe the Bills think he can play WR. Hard to say at this point.

Coach55 Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Odds of making team... <1%. May have a better chance of winning lotto.
BillsWatch Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Two years experience and 27 years old. Find that a bit odd.
peterlaw Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 I can only imagine that Doug Whalley is having doubts about some of Buddy's WR draft picks. The signing seems bizarre. Perhaps Doug liked him in the 2011 draft (and Buddy overlooked him). Perhaps DeMarco can also play MLB and CB as well as WR. His stats don't suggest he is a special team ace.

As others have pointed out this draft broke the mold of Buddy's past drafts. To me that symbolizes that Whaley had a greater influence on this particular draft. It is the end of May this signing does not realy signify anything really substantial...

This seems more like a training camp/ special teams move to me. If you truly think Whaley got this guy because he has doubts about Woods or Goodwin then you are greatly under-estimating those two receivers and/or over-estimating Sampson.

Sure, he'll be on the practice squad if at all on the roster, but it's the point of being able to go to our last reserves and have them still be THE SAME MOLD - Tall and FAST.
BillnutinHouston Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 I can only imagine that Doug Whalley is having doubts about some of Buddy's WR draft picks. That's quite a leap to make.
peterlaw Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 That makes 12 WRs on the roster. Maybe Jeff Tuel didn't have anyone to play throw and catch with? Or maybe our base formation will be 5 Wide so CJ can have a rest!

You completely miss the boat that we have to make a big deal over standard camp fodder roster moves! They obviously portend great things like the Bills are secretly telegraphing the return of Elvis and 2-pac on a summer tour.
OCinBuffalo Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) I think this guy is tall, he's got some film(go see) of some good, athletic catches in the NFL, "let's see what he does, because we know what the CB we released does, and it ain't that great", and that's all there is to it.
