John from Riverside Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 I like the talent when it is laid out like that...its a pretty good roster. I def think Kerley makes it......and I think Reilly makes the team with his 4.2 speed...i think a couple of those draft picks go to practice squad

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 11 hours ago, GETTOTHE50 said: Why can’t a back up center perform the duties of a long snapper? Lol the long snapper has the easiest !@#$ing gig I swear. They practice with the kicker and the punter on the other field like the whole time. Your backup center has to actually snap to QBs a lot, and work on blocking technique. If they practiced at a different time - maybe it could work? It's why the punters basically always hold kicks now too, they're already over there with the LS and kicker.
Lagoon Blues Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 (edited) I don't think they keep 7 WR's on active roster. One of those drafted will be on the PS to start the year IMO. Who knows though. How many did they start with last year on the active? Edited May 1, 2018 by Lagoon Blues

Chandler#81 Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 IMO, our other starting WR and at least one OL aren’t yet on the team. Ritchie?.. ok, In My HOPE. 1

I just think teams would rather keep a specialized guy to do it. There is always a backup long snapper who is a position player just in case the LS gets injured. But teams have a long snapper for the same reason they have punters hold for kickers. It's such an important thing but having your quarterback do it is a huge waste of practice time. It easier to just have the punter do it.
Bakin Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 Goes without saying but we need another man on the OL and stud at WR.
Richard Noggin Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 At LEAST one WR spot, maybe two, get allocated instead to S, CB, and/or DL. 7 WRs is a non-starter.

Your thoughts and feedback as always are welcome Gaines went to the Browns

Tsaikotic Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 23 hours ago, dbflaBill said: McCloud makes this team over Cadet. He fills several different holes/needs. 3rd RB, returner, and slot WR. His ability to play several positions is what'll help him make the team. Proehl is a very good possession WR will be a good fit and should develop quite nicely. Still need ILB depth, Edmunds played outside so you never know if he will adjust that well to a new position. why over Cadet and not over a WR?..
Sky Diver Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 Wallace is interesting. He went from playing flag football in intramurals to starting in the college playoffs in 3 yrs. I wouldn't rule the guy out. Foster I'm not as sure about. He was a 5* recruit, but he wasn't very productive. Of course, Alabama was loaded at WR which limited his touches.
dbflaBill Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 55 minutes ago, Tsaikotic said: why over Cadet and not over a WR?.. Bills aren't keeping 7 WR. Theyll only keep 5 or 6. Plus He can fill Cadets role allowing the Bills to keep only 3 backs and 5 WR. Hes the 3rd back and 6 WR essentially freeing up a roster spot for an extra DB, LB or OL.
BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 Who is WR McDonald ? Don't see him on the roster.

MrEpsYtown Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 1 hour ago, Tsaikotic said: why over Cadet and not over a WR?.. I think the idea is that McCloud could be more of a slash type player. returner, slot reciever, running back. He was a highly recruited running back out of high school. I still think the Bills will keep a guy like Cadet and McCloud. I would actually replace Cadet with Shane Vereen, who is sitting out there and knows this system well.
