thebandit27 Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Interesting. Makes one wonder why the Bills bothered signing Morgan at all. Camp leg.
26CornerBlitz Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 @billsupdates 5 undrafted free agents most likely to make #Bills roster http://ow.ly/8grf3004DpM
26CornerBlitz Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 2 of Bills rookies among undrafteds to watch ESPN NFL draft analyst Mel Kiper put together a list of top 30 undrafted players to watch in 2016. Two of the Bills 14 undrafted players made the list. Kiper listed Bills FB Glenn Gronkowski and LB Eric Striker as two of his 30 undrafteds to keep an eye on. Here’s what he wrote on them.
section122 Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Camp leg. Yup and I'm okay with that. I have said multiple times this offseason that I pin most of the kicking problems on Sanborn. It was very noticeable with punting and I have to imagine it played a role with carp too.
3rdand12 Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Camp leg. best they could do though? I wondered about this one too. Crosman recruit him ? @billsupdates 5 undrafted free agents most likely to make #Bills roster http://ow.ly/8grf3004DpM hype machine up and running via Rex Yup and I'm okay with that. I have said multiple times this offseason that I pin most of the kicking problems on Sanborn. It was very noticeable with punting and I have to imagine it played a role with carp too. still do not want to carry two kickers. just seems indulgent or silly. not sure which
machine gun kelly Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Agreed 3/12. Now that the kick off is out to the 25, Carpenter can't hit that?
Doc Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Agreed 3/12. Now that the kick off is out to the 25, Carpenter can't hit that? Now that it's 25 yards for a TB, Carpenter is fine on KO's since you don't want to get TB's anymore.
CommonCents Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Agreed 3/12. Now that the kick off is out to the 25, Carpenter can't hit that? Stronger legs will allow for hang time that will yield a better average starting position than kicking it through the end zone. I think the owners missed the boat on this rule change, it should lead to more returns.
3rdand12 Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Now that it's 25 yards for a TB, Carpenter is fine on KO's since you don't want to get TB's anymore. One might think so. But i really am no expert on kickers. height, directional , hang time etc.
26CornerBlitz Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 @JohnMurphyShow Most interesting undrafted rookie with the #Bills? Maybe DL Justin Zimmer. He joins us in studio tonight 730pm
biggerdaddynj Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 Just ran across this nice article about our UDFAs--apologize if someone already posted this--it's a few days old: http://cover32.com/2016/05/09/buffalo-bills-go-talent-undrafted-free-agent-signings/
26CornerBlitz Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 Justin Zimmer: "I'll have to work my butt off" (15:11) Bills undrafted free agent signee Justin Zimmer joined The John Murphy Show to talk about his success at D-II Ferris State, his work with Olympic sprinter Michael Johnson and D-Line coach John Blake, and his eye-popping pro day bench press. Right now on WGR is Bills undrafted rookie DL Justin Zimmer with John Murphy! Tune in: Zimmer on his 1st week with the #Bills - the first couple of days, there was a lot to learn. I've caught my bearings now and I'm having fun Zimmer on not getting invited to the NFL Combine - I had my hopes up, but was not expecting it #Bills Zimmer on working w/D-line coach John Blake before Draft - we did drills that didn't prepare me for the Combine... (Cont.) #Bills Zimmer on working w/D-line coach John Blake before Draft (cont.) - ...but that would make me a better player #Bills Zimmer on his ability to do many bench presses - I have to press guys off me every game, so it shows that I can handle it #Bills Zimmer - I think I was signed with Buffalo within an hour of the Draft ending #Bills Zimmer - The last 3 days, we've been working with the veterans (on the D-line). They've all been great, more than willing to lend a hand Zimmer - I watched a lot of the #Bills games as they have great interior guys. I want to mold my game after some of these guys. Zimmer - I have to provide some versatility on the defense, and also play some good special teams when given the opportunity #Bills
Buffalo Barbarian Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 The only place Shawn Oakman is going is prison. Is he going to trial? @MatthewFairburn Meet Justin Zimmer, the biggest sleeper of the Buffalo Bills' 2016 rookie class http://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2016/05/meet_justin_zimmer_the_biggest_sleeper_of_the_buffalo_bills_2016_rookie_class.html Already smarter than Mario; "At rookie camp, Zimmer was mostly playing nose tackle. However, he played all over the defensive line for Ferris State and was mostly a three-technique defensive end. Despite all that's been made about the complexity of Ryan's defense, Zimmer is finding it to be simple in the early going. "It's not bad for d-linemen," Zimmer said. "I mean if I was a DB I'd probably be lost right now, but d-line is relatively simple so I mean you just kind of have to know a few different things and line up. It's more physical than it is mental really."
