Andrew Son Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 I think we really missed him last year. Very good special teams player
GunnerBill Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 Yep. Want Crossman to get better gotta give him the horses.
Jamie Nails Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 Do we think Easley will make it back this season too or his career over? Not having them hurt

I don't think personnel in ST's is factored in enough, people think you should be able to plug anyone in there On 1/27/2017 at 5:31 PM, Jamie Nails said: 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

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.

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 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.

Andrew Son Posted January 27, 2017 Author Posted January 27, 2017 Tate had some moments but overall I'm not a fan

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

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.

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.

I think when he said 2 kickers, he meant kicker and punter.
