BADOLBILZ Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Rational is keeping your 3rd or 4th best WR when he is a young, cheap player. But in a normal WR corps this cut would be no big deal and it would hardly be a surprise to see him end up on a PS rather than someone else's roster. It's just that he Bills WR corps is old and slow......among the league's worst.......and guys like Philly Brown or Streator have no future beyond this year.......at some point you have to START building a roster with some players that might be around to help save your HC job in 2018.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Yates over Wenning? Not sure I agree with that. Kid had like two days to practice and looked better than Yates who had all camp. ......YIKES Yates......so then it could be TT and Yates with Peterman being waived, gambling on PS?........hmmmm.....was thinking TT and Peterman, Yates odd man out and gamble with Wenning as a PS signing.....
buffaloboyinATL Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Yates over Wenning? Not sure I agree with that. Kid had like two days to practice and looked better than Yates who had all camp. Can they waive Yates while he's in concussion protocol?

I'd be curious to see how our roster stacks up in average age once all plays out-- we really let a lot of youth out the door which is backwards for what appears to be the plan from an outside perspective
Rico Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Philly Brown had some solid blocking against Detroit, might be a reason he stayed. Holmes has solid ST ability. I'm not a Philly Brown fan, but McD knows what he brings to the table in real games, same with Tolbert. They will always have an advantage over any pre-season flashes, especially in Year 1 of a coaching regime.
likei've Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 How many days at SJF did you attend? Enough to know Yates is terrible. In other words, none.
nucci Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 ......YIKES Yates......so then it could be TT and Yates with Peterman being waived, gambling on PS?........hmmmm.....was thinking TT and Peterman, Yates odd man out and gamble with Wenning as a PS signing..... there's going to be many more moves...players will be claimed and others released 53 man roster won't be set for a few days. Yates could still be released
NoSaint Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Can they waive Yates while he's in concussion protocol? Could IR him or an injury settlement-- They seem to want a vet that is familiar though, so I'm not sure why anyone is surprised the qb signed 3 days ago was cut.
KOKBILLS Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Yawn.. Joe B commenting on a few Bills fans...I've just never been impressed by that guy...I think he's best at being tall...That's about it...
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 there's going to be many more moves...players will be claimed and others released 53 man roster won't be set for a few days. Yates could still be released ...I know bud, but agonizing about Yates and Vlad STILL hanging around is increasing my Bourbon consumption....
Wayne Arnold Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) Looks like DE Ryan Davis has made the team... Edited September 2, 2017 by Wayne Arnold
26CornerBlitz Posted September 2, 2017 Author Posted September 2, 2017 @JoeBuscaglia Wes Saxton, Abner Logan, Sam Barrington, Zach Voytek, Max Valles, Jordan Mudge, Michael Ola, & Deandre Coleman still all among the #Bills 61
HappyDays Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Looks like DE Ryan Davis has made the team... He shouldn't be too comfortable yet. I expect several players like him to be gone tomorrow.
Best Player Available Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Wenning going is a good sign The Kid gave it his best . He was no Jordon Palmer though.
Pete Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 He shouldn't be too comfortable yet. I expect several players like him to be gone tomorrow. Davis can actually play- unlike Holmes and Ducasse. Not to mention the versatility and depth. Solid against run, and has a few sacks this preseason
Wayne Arnold Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 He shouldn't be too comfortable yet. I expect several players like him to be gone tomorrow. Well, I doubt they would have "confirmed" if he wasn't safe. Had a great preseason.
klos63 Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 ...I know bud, but agonizing about Yates and Vlad STILL hanging around is increasing my Bourbon consumption.... I could only imagine what trading Sammy did to your Bourbon supply.
Jamie Nails Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Well, I doubt they would have "confirmed" if he wasn't safe. Had a great preseason. He's safe until week 10
thurst44 Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) Davis in. @bigdavis813 On a mission, they jus confirmed what I already knew... #BillsMafia @ New Era Field https://www.instagram.com/p/BYi3zdAjC8K/ Good! He's a great depth pick who had 10 sacks over the course of 2014/15 before an off-season with Dallas, and looked solid in pre-season from what I watched. And I suspect we don't have to release 3 players to get the comp pick. That logic is going off of a construct that has Justin Hunter as the last person to not count and EJ Manuel also close but not counting. There's a decent chance both qualify (unless Hunter, as is quite possible, is released today) as even the people at Sportrac and other similar endeavors will tell you it's an inexact science, especially when you get down to the 7th rounders, plus supposedly their play during the season can have an effect.

Correct Badol. I am no natural bandwaggon jumper when it comes to camo stara and pre-season heroes. If we still had Watkins, Woods, Hogan and Harvin as we did when say Deonte Thompson was waived a couple of years back then you understand it. He has bounced off the Bears PS and roster since and that is probably his level - bottom end of roster guy. That might be Reilly's too but you are not giving up a true NFL talent to find out.... you are just giving up a Philly Brown or an Andre Holmes. In that context this is a bad, bad move.
