Kemp2Warlick Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Chris Brown @ChrisBrownBills 35s36 seconds ago FB Dan Vitale claimed by #Bills from TB. K Jordan Gay & WR Dez Lewis added to practice squad. Lattimore released.
26CornerBlitz Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) @buffalobills CLAIMED: FB Dan Vitale CUT: LB Jamari Lattimore P. SQUAD: K Jordan Gay, WR Dezmin Lewis http://bufbills.co/YnFfZI Edited September 4, 2016 by 26CornerBlitz
NoSaint Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Surprised to see gay. The only perk off hand that I see is that he's unlikely to be claimed by another team now, if they think he can be kicker in case of emergency
Art in PNS Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 A bit of a queer move, adding Gay to the PS. Insurance in case Carp gets hurt during the season, plus they keep the leg on the shelf and practicing for one more year in case carp does not have a great year,
26CornerBlitz Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 A bit of a queer move, adding Gay to the PS. Save Carp's leg in practice and maybe activate him later in the season if KOs falter.
Blokestradamus Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) First refusal on Gay if Carpenter ***** the bed. Solid move. Oh, okay. Thought that would get picked up by the language filter. Edited September 4, 2016 by Blokestradamus
26CornerBlitz Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 First refusal on Gay if Carpenter ***** the bed. Solid move. They aren't stashing Gay for placements kicks. He's terrible at it.
Blokestradamus Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 They aren't stashing Gay for placements kicks. He's terrible at it. I meant for kickoffs. Dan's ST leg is not good. They know it too.
GunnerBill Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 I meant for kickoffs. Dan's ST leg is not good. They know it too. Yep. There are three secnarios: 1. Carpenter bounces back and does both jobs well - Gay remains on the PS squad all year. 2. Carpenter is back to being money of XPs and FGs but his KO depth is not good - Gay likely activated later in the year to be KO specialist. 3. Carpenter struggles with XPs and KOs - they likely cut Carp and try and find a guy off the street who can do both.
Kelly the Dog Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Gay to practice squad likely has to be to save Carpenters leg in practice while they work on KR team.
Cripple Creek Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Insurance in case Carp gets hurt during the season, plus they keep the leg on the shelf and practicing for one more year in case carp does not have a great year, If he gets hurt during the season you sign Gay. This seems odd to me. He can still be signed by any team needing a kicker so there's no security in signing him to the PS.
Doc Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Saving him for next season when the KO rule goes back to where it was/should be.
Blokestradamus Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Yep. There are three secnarios: 1. Carpenter bounces back and does both jobs well - Gay remains on the PS squad all year. 2.

Carpenter struggles with XPs and KOs - they likely cut Carp and try and find a guy off the street who can do both. Hope he's not needed and I'm wrong about Dan. I mean, I'm not because I'm smart but you never know. Dan is worth sparing if he's nailing them like 2014. If he's 2015 Dan, get rid of both.
