Schmidt has much more leg than Ryan at this stage. Other than that I'm 100% with you. And I suspect Levi Wallace and Tanner Vallejo are cut within a couple of days of cut downs and replaced by people on other squads. I'd probably choose Schmidt also but there's a reason Beane pursued Ryan (they don't like Schmidt very much) and I think Ryan signing so quickly after visiting is indication that they told him the job is pretty much his barring a clownshow the next 8 days.

Going into the preseason week three matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, the dress rehearsal game will define not just the starters for week one; it’s also the best opportunity for second-teamers to separate from the third-stringers and guarantee their places on the 53-man roster. Here’s my prediction of who would be the Bills’ choices if the cut day were today: This projection may be spot on, but there are several decisions I would not like: - Maybe I'm alone in this, but I wish we would move on from Taiwan Jones. I understand his ST value, but I feel like there are other guys who can fill his role. - I would take Khari Lee over Croom. And, I will be very sad to see O'Leary go, and not just from a fan standpoint. O'Leary is clutch, and always has been. - I agree with all six WRs. Part of me wishes we kept seven with Streater. Completely agree (and hope) Coleman stays. - I'm not so impressed with Newhouse. De'Ondre Wesley? - Do we need 10 D linemen? Lose Hatley, or Russel, or both. - Keep Siran Neal.

Who took over this TBD account? 3 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: To clarify - I don't necessarily mean the way he has them listed..... I mean the 53 names. Josh Allen will be the starting Quarterback. Yeah, I don't feel too strongly about the ranking of the QB's at this point. I'd prefer Allen sit for at least the first half of the season but this week will be huge with regard to that. All I know for certain (in my mind, anyway) is that all three QB's will make the team.

The only way three don't make it is if all isn't what it now seems with AJ. If healthy all are making the 53. 6 minutes ago, Wayne Arnold said: I'd probably choose Schmidt also but there's a reason Beane pursued Ryan (they don't like Schmidt very much) and I think Ryan signing so quickly after visiting is indication that they told him the job is pretty much his barring a clownshow the next 8 days. That would be a big error. Ryan's leg has gone.

On Defense, they have a kid who's built like a weeping willow branch playing MLB, but on Offense we need a fullback? Really?

Get rid of him.

Maybe Daboll thinks he can be this team's James Develin. I've never been a proponent of these type of single purpose roster spots. In the same way, if you're at the goal line it makes little sense to me to bunch everyone at the line. All it ends up doing is bringing the entire defense into the point of attack. Very old school.

Probably still a better directional punter than Schmidt but I think Schmidt's leg is a fair bit stronger at this point in their respective career. 1 hour ago, Wayne Arnold said: Depends on what Daboll thinks.

We are a run-heavy offense, after all.
