SoTier Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 11 hours ago, 26CornerBlitz said: Bills workout eight to try and shore up a few depth issues It’s no secret that the Buffalo Bills have some depth issues. Throw a ball and it’ll most likely hit a position that needs help. Buffalo has holes on both sides of the ball and the eight players they chose to workout are shots in the dark to try and plug them. Although the Bills didn’t officially announce all of the eight players, football insider Adam Caplan got the scoop on five of them that matter. The Bills don't have "some depth issues". They have a significant lack of NFL caliber players on their roster, period, including most of the starters on both sides of the ball.

It's the offense that has too many questionable starters. 1
Matt_In_NH Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 I wonder if they like Peterman as backup QB. I expected them to sign a vet with some experience.
MrEpsYtown Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 I am suprised they brought in Michael Bennett, but he can certainly help the pass rush. Paszor is an interesting depth type of player who could probably start at guard right now. Quinton Dial is a massive person who would add depth to the defensive line.

White, Hyde, Poyer, and Hughes are bonafide NFL talents. At this point in their careers, Williams and Alexander are somewhat questionable. Star and MIlano are JAGs at best. Edmunds is a rookie struggling to adjust to an entirely new situation. The rest of the Bills defensive roster is trash, although a better class of trash than the steaming pile of offal that's on offense it's true.

You get to pick a hundred players and select the best 53. And here we are, just two weeks into the season, and they are already scrambling to find talent. Not too familiar with how NFL teams operate, are ya?
SoCal Deek Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 Feels a bit like when you have a few game tickets left at Chuck E Cheese but not enough to get anything good so you stare into the glass case of cheap crap and wonder if the onion gum will be as fun as it sounds. 1 1

I assume you know this is not the good Michael Bennett currently playing on the Eagles. He would not be a character fit, but we could definitely use him. You're righ about Pastzor. He has started in this league and is well worth a tire kick. 1

The rest of the Bills defensive roster is trash, although a better class of trash than the steaming pile of offal that's on offense it's true. So they're good at safety. They're good at one CB. They're OK at LB including the rookie who's figuring it out. They're good atone DE, OK with Star, And while you didn't mention it Phillips and Kyle are hardly trash. So when you say the rest of the D is trash, from what I can add up that is one position, the CB other than White, out of 11. The rest of the D. Brilliant. 6 minutes ago, Over 29 years of fanhood said: Even his collegiate career is unspectacular They bring guys in to take a look at based on what their pro scouting department has seen in pre-season etc. It is a look see. It is not Armageddon. It is how NFL teams do things. 1

tbarg12 Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 Pasztor seems as good of an addition you can get at the moment. I also noticed 49ers released OT Matt Tobin, don't know much about him but some added veteran depth might help. Also found this article on him earlier this year when he signed with the Pats this past offseason. http://blog.masslive.com/patriots/2018/03/what_to_know_about_new_england_7.html 1

I sure hope that THIS front office is not trying to out cheap Ralph Wilson - Dear Lord... Ok then. I would like you to tell me who you would be working out. Today. Right now. Who is out there available that you would work out, based on your review of their play on film, etc. This really gets tedious. Most all of here have never seen probably the vast majority of these guys play, I can pretty much guarantee none of us have seen film on them, but because the Bills do what every other team in the league does, bring in guys that aren't on rosters now for a look-see, somehow we're wrong. I saw them brought in linemen. Great, we need them in my opinion.. If they see a guy they think is an upgrade, great. GIve it a shot. They see a WR they think might help, give him a shot. If they don't help, at least you tried. 1

I thought he got released or something! Thanks.
