The Real Buffalo Joe Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 Simple question with multiple possible answers. What players on this roster will be on the Week 1 roster in 2019?
billspro Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) WR - Pryor, Jones TE- Croom OL- Dawkins, Ducasse, Mills, Teller QB- Allen, Barkley RB- McCoy, Ivory Defense- Everyone except Kyle (retirement) and Gaines I expect us to sign/draft 4 olineman, 3 WRs, and 2 TEs. Complete overhaul on that side of the ball letting Daboll get players that fit his system. Edited October 31, 2018 by billspro 2 1

Also, I don't think McCoy will be back. He will be traded. The only Whaley guy left will be Hughes, IMO. Edited October 31, 2018 by vincec
bigK14094 Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 I liked Prior out of college.....had a smile on my face when I recalled he was a QB at Ohio State. Since we just signed him.....he could play as a QB instead of receiver. This is at least as logical as anything the front office has done about the QB situation. Retreads, retreads, retreads....and one banged up prospect.

They may want to keep him 1 more season, wouldn’t surprise me if they traded him though. I think they bring back Alexander for 1 more year. He has been great at pass rush this year. It’s so hard to find pass rushers in this league. Edited October 31, 2018 by billspro

(This questions sounds sarcastic, but legitimately asking where you derive that from.)

Its just my opinion....but it is the dire need to have some sort of semblence of a backup guy that will not come in and suck but will want to stay on the team...... I am not even sure that Barkley would serve as a good mentor....which is what I want our backup QB to be... God I actually miss Fitz 1

He's good enough to win games. Seems like he'd make a great mentor. He's smart. Little known fact, he went to Harvard.

Croom is a bad blocker, drops too many passes and runs bad routes. Ducasse and Mills should be gone along with Castillo.

(This questions sounds sarcastic, but legitimately asking where you derive that from.) Nothing other than we need a veteran backup and he has a early audition to impress the coaches. I was also impressed with his preseason play against us. We need to bring in a draft pick too. 1 hour ago, Call_Of_Ktulu said: I like everyone on your list except Croom and Ducasse and Mills.

SoCal Deek Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 The only LOCK to stay is of course Vlad. Everyone else will be fighting for a position.
BuffaloHokie13 Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 Allen, maybe Anderson Ivory & Murphy Zay, Pryor, and Cam Phillips Croom Dawkins, Mills, Boettger Ducasse, Teller Star, Harrison Phillips, and Jordan Phillips Hughes & Yarbrough Humber & Milano, Maybe LorAx Edmunds Hyde, Poyer, Bush White, Johnson, Lewis Ferguson, Bojo, and Hau$chka That's 30, which leaves 23 spots for FAs & Draft Picks.

We need to hope we can get 1 in FA and 1 in the draft that can start right out of the box. We need to rebuild our whole farm system when it comes to our O-Line. I'll take 3 solid starters and 2 unproven players over what we currently have.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 23 hours ago, no name said: his bags have never been unpacked. he may not finish this season out. the dude is past retirement and his mind is on the 15th hole, not throwing to the end zone. Your response is to a guy talking about Alexander - you know, 'Zo, the LB? He don't throw to the end zone. Neither do McCoy and Hughes for that matter. Your comments make sense if you mean Anderson, not Alexander.

His locker room presence, leadership and pass rushing ability are all needed on this team. I think he’s been better at LB this year. The man is truly an inspiration and McB loves it. 1

corta765 Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) 2019 Bills based off players currently on roster: Offense QB: Allen (Need true backup like bringing Fitz in for another go or someone who can actually move the offense a bit) RB: McCoy, Ivory & Murphy (Wouldn't be surprised if they draft a guy here, but not trading Shady tells you about their intentions for next year) WR: Zay Jones (Remake this from the fires below. Seriously need WR1, WR3, WR4. I think Zay can be WR 2 now especially with teams running 3 wide putting an emphasis on having a bunch of guys) OL: Dawkins, Teller, Bodine, & Ducasse (Need minimum G and new RT, two guards would be preferable plus possibly another center) TE: Croom & Thomas (Late draft pick on a guy or in FA. I think they give both of these guys a true chance) Defense DL: Star, H. Phillips, J. Phillips, (I could see them drafting Oliver if he is there otherwise sign solid DT for depth) DE: Hughes, Yarbough, & Murphy (Draft Bosa if he is there or sign best pass rusher possible) LB: Milano, Edmunds, Alexander, Humber, & Stanford (Need solid vet to rotate with Zo and for depth) CB: Tre White, T. Johnson, Lewis, & Pits (need CB2) SAF: Poyer, Hyde, Bush, & Neal (set no change) ST Kicker: Hauschka Punter: Schmidt or Borq Overall the defense basically needs a DE, DL, possibly CB2 and then just some depth. It is more or less pretty well set and young. The offense has about 5 starters out of 11 and needs 6 starters big time. Edited November 1, 2018 by corta765
