Kelly the Dog Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Because he is better than you are giving credit for, that's why. If the Bills cut Hogan in final cuts he will be on an NFL 53 within 24 hours and would likely have more than 1 team making waiver claims on him. Well there are 28 teams with worse #5 WR than us.
GunnerBill Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 He is at least a #3 for about a third of the league. There are 2 or 4 (usual tire fire teams) where he might even be their two...
jumbalaya Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Thigpen and Andre Davis will be tough to cut.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 I'm not so sure anymore, I think Thompson has earned a spot so it comes down to Hogan or Easley. While Hogan has struggled this summer, he was reliable in regular season games so then doing the numbers if you keep Hogan, you likely end up letting Easley go. Can Thompson play ST? If so, makes it easier to cut Easley. Does Easley have a spot due to his ST play?
BADOLBILZ Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 I know it's trite to reference the show, but he is much like the character depicted by Bob Crane in that I think the coaches only like him because they don't realize that he is in fact undermining what they are trying to do, offensively. Fire away, heroes.

Fire away, heroes. A fairly hot young woman, who was flirting and kidding around, once asked me to describe my sex life in two words, and my answer was, "Bob. Crane." True story although not an accurate answer.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Thigpen and Andre Davis will be tough to cut. Thigpen is a must to keep. Guy can play ST and Is a top-5 type returner, and versatile to play WR and RB in a pinch.
BADOLBILZ Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Thigpen is a must to keep. Guy can play ST and Is a top-5 type returner, and versatile to play WR and RB in a pinch. Actually of the active RB's he is the most likely.....by A LOT.....to make the team so he's basically #1 on the depth chart.
4merper4mer Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 I'm glad Hogan isn't hurt badly. When does Bandits camp open?
enlightener Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 screw easely we can get alot of people to play st, hes not steve tasker, id rather keep goodwin than him or glass hoguin
Deranged Rhino Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Is Harvin still a lock? The hip thing. is it more serious then being let on? He showed already he has the skills since with Buffalo. I gotta agree, its gonna be tough> hopefully we can stash some on PS. Harvin's definitely making the team.
billsgpr88 Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) Easley is probably the best gunner I've seen in a Bills uniform. Highly underrated, definitely deserves to make the 53 based on that skill alone Edited August 22, 2015 by billsgpr88
MyDogLuvsPB Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Good to hear Hogan's injury isn't serious. He's a keeper. I say we trade Marquis, get some value and keep Deonte. The kid's a player. I don't trust his hands and he doesn't use his body enough to shield himself from defenders. He has potential though, I'll give you that.
truth on hold Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Agreed. If Goodwin and Thompson both shine again in games 3 and 4 whilst Hogan is still out then he might be in trouble. If they made the cuts today still no way Hogan gets cut. Goodwin is a lock. What he's capable.of and how the coaches have been using him in preseason. How others can't see that idk. Hogan imo was on his way out before the injury. Being totally outplayed by Thompson and argubaly Davis too
Bad Things Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Easley is probably the best gunner I've seen in a Bills uniform. Highly underrated, definitely deserves to make the 53 based on that skill alone +1
Buffalo Barbarian Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Easley is probably the best gunner I've seen in a Bills uniform. Highly underrated, definitely deserves to make the 53 based on that skill alone Tasker still the best although Easley is very good.
machine gun kelly Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 I'm glad Hogan isn't hurt badly. When does Bandits camp open? That's funny. I like the kid, and Thompson had one good game. If he can reproduce over the next two games, he'll make the team. I didn't watch him play ST, but that really helps. They'll never dump Easley. He is way too valuable on ST. I know Goodwin is fast, but he jsut has not proven to be reliable with his hands or staying healthy, so I don't care if we release him.
Best Player Available Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 He is at least a #3 for about a third of the league. There are 2 or 4 (usual tire fire teams) where he might even be their two... Most likely Harvin is a one year rental. if Hogan is thought of as still a player who is learning, has potential, etc. He will stay as Harvin's replacement Next season.
fansince88 Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 I really liked what he showed last year, but this preseason has been rough. It'll be interesting to see who our depth WRs are. I'm assuming WR4 and WR5 are open, with Sammy, Woods, and Harvin being locks, and Easley being our Special Teams pick? Not all together sure Harvin is a lock. Been hurt and has missed some time.
Nanker Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Get your facts out of here!! He is fast, athletic, has great hands and hasn't played football that long. Did you know that Hogan played lacrosse in college? Now that's cold... This most disappointing part of this is that we will never truly settle whether he was going to make the team or not. Personally, I'd be happy if he were done, but certainly don't want it to be because of injury. I hope he makes a quick recovery so we can cut him, lol. but that's colder. What I think most are overlooking here is the giant swarm of injury bugs that's infested TC this year. There are two more games to play and a lot of days of drills that could change the careers of several of these young men. There's a lot more time and chances for someone to go down with an injury as much as there is to have someone prove they've earned a spot.
