GunnerBill Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 I agree. Thompson is only 1/10th of a second slower than Goodwin, who can't stay healthy, and he's a lot bigger. Davis just looks to be much more talented than Hogan. I'd put Lewis on the practice squad. Coming from a small school the NFL stage looks to be too big for him right now (unlike Davis) but maybe he can develop once he gets acclimated. I think the Bills core WRs are good enuf to maybe roll the dice a bit with less experienced players who doubtless have a lot to learn but who seem to have raw talent and a lot of upside. And they are bargain basement too. Lewis has done nothing to even deserve the practice squad. He looks totally overwrought by it all - I know we spent a 7th round flier on him but he isn't going to be an NFL player.

My comment was more based on the fact that I have trouble believing he's as deficient as he has appeared and that NFL is really a major step up from the competition he faced in college. So maybe Thompson makes the 53 and Davis the practice squad.
GunnerBill Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 So maybe Thompson makes the 53 and Davis the practice squad. Much more likely IMO.
You herd it hear last Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 We should keep 75 players this year. Somehow, pay them under-the-table. They will call it "rostergate" when we get caught.
buffaloboyinATL Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Man, this WR situation is gonna be tough. I really like what (albeit little) I have seen from Andre Davis and hope he makes the team, I am just not sure where he fits. Has anyone noticed him on ST at all?
truth on hold Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Lewis has done nothing to even deserve the practice squad. He looks totally overwrought by it all - I know we spent a 7th round flier on him but he isn't going to be an NFL player. I think he just hasn't gotten enough attention either, not just games but practice. He's the only WR on the roster with a size advantage, I'd PS him
GunnerBill Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 I think he just hasn't gotten enough attention either, not just games but practice. He's the only WR on the roster with a size advantage, I'd PS him Nope. He is so far off being ready to play. I don't care if he is 8ft tall. He should be cut.
truth on hold Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Nope. He is so far off being ready to play. I don't care if he is 8ft tall. He should be cut. They knew that coming in. He's classic PS material. Heck if nothing else give our DBs a chance to prep for tall WRs. They got eaten up against Panthers.
Dragonborn10 Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) FJ, O'leary, Duke, Easley, and Gragg, will be gone with Hogan to IR Carrington makes it but moves to DE I don't know who will be the third TE/H-back 4th, 5th and/or 6th WR is anyone's guess now... The fourth safety is not on the roster now. Edited August 22, 2015 by Dragonborn10
Agent 91 Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Im not sure, say they keep 5, I go. Woods, Watkins, Harvin, Easley, Davis I replace Davis with Thompson

Solomon Grundy Posted August 23, 2015 Author Posted August 23, 2015 I replace Davis with Thompson Didn't know Deonte Thompson was rated higher than Dez Bryant coming out of HS!!
BuffaninATL Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 can someone who has been @ TC and watched Mulligan please explain to me how he should make the final 53? Based on what I've seen in the 2 preseason games, he is a penalty machine waiting to happen, zero YAC, Lee Smith clone. If we need a receiver-eligible body for a formation, Cyrus can do it (....he did it vs. Cleveland) I know Rex has said Mulligan is the strongest TE in the league, or something to that effect, but I prefer the athletic ability of Gray & Gragg after Clay. Thoughts?
BringBackOrton Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Bryce Brown will be cut. Ball security issues and stacked at RB.
BuffaninATL Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Bryce Brown will be cut. Ball security issues and stacked at RB. No trade value? Someone always thinks they can fix a problem elsewhere
Thunderstealer Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 I replace Davis with Thompson Thompson looks great. Like he doesn't give a care who's covering him. Confident!
BringBackOrton Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 No trade value? Someone always thinks they can fix a problem elsewhere Maybe in a package deal. Don't see BB having much value by himself. He is long removed from the hype he built in Philly.
3rdand12 Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 can we differentiate cut, from trade or IR or PS. Bunch of these guys may or may not get PS. one or two might get poached. everyone says cut. seems so harsh to say that. Brown for sure should be traded if he is not kept. Maybe in a package deal. Don't see BB having much value by himself. He is long removed from the hype he built in Philly. The man can run. and Rex has had him on ST finally to try to keep him. We shall see. I think he has value to the Bills and wish we could keep him honestly. but over whom. thats the issue along with leaving the ball on the carpet in practice still
