Jamie Nails Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Do we think Easley will make it back this season too or his career over? Not having them hurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Son Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 Yep. Want Crossman to get better gotta give him the horses.His unit really lost its top three players. Colt, Easily, and Lorax who was diminished due to his role on D. I don't think personnel in ST's is factored in enough, people think you should be able to plug anyone in there Do we think Easley will make it back this season too or his career over? Not having them hurt I haven't really heard whispers of him being done. I think he'll be back. It's been interesting watching Easely, it's easy to see what you would like in him as a WR. He looks so big a physical out there to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Do we think Easley will make it back this season too or his career over? Not having them hurt It was a gruesome injury and I wouldn't be surprised if he never gets back to 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been interesting watching Easely, it's easy to see what you would like in him as a WR. He looks so big a physical out there to me I don't disagree but there is a balance. The Bills were dressing 7 guys a week in 2014 to do nothing but play ST. That's too many. I think 5 is the number (2 kickers, Easley, long snapper, returner). The others need to be able to play offense or defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many did we carry in the Super Bowl years when Marv made ST a priority? I think it was more than five though I can't right now come up with more than 5 names.

YoloinOhio Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Personally I hope we re-sign Brandon Tate. He can fill a depth WR role which we very much need, and is imo an excellent returner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would rather have Tate over Reggie Bush? Nothing gets me more excited than Bush taking a kickoff 8 yards deep in the end zone and returning it to the 10. You will miss that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE has Ebner and Slater - but they have the luxury of multiple guys who can return punts while we have needed a specialist. So they care K/P/LS, Ebner, Slater, and use edelman for PR.

PO16FFS Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Tate had some moments but overall I'm not a fan Felt the same way. He actually faded down the stretch. Would fair catch balls with no one around him and run others with 3 guys swarming him. With or without him, the Bills wont gain or lose anything significant.
